Sex and cardio

Oishii

I like sex, but my DH finds it so exhausting that I can't persuade him into bed more than a few times a month. There may be other contributing factors, but that seems to be the main one.

Would more cardio help improve the situation? He's not overweight or underweight, but he is far more sedentary than when we first met. Would an improvement in his cardiovascular health make recovery easier, or is it a hormonal thing? Would running or something like that make it easier? Just to clarify, there are no problems with 'performing', just he feels too exhausted afterwards.

Thank you. :flowerforyou:

These are what I could think of that might help:

1) He does more cardio to get a bit fitter, he'll probably find his stamina improves and he gets less exhausted, also exercise is thought to help with sex drive, so you may even get him desiring it more!

2) You do the majority of the "work". Hopefully he'll then see what he's missing and want more! If not, at least your getting some right?

3) Make sure he gets enough sleep, and try and keep his stress levels down. Things such as work stress or not enough sleep may be making him more tired than usual, therefore it's not so much the physical exertion of sex in particular, but more so that he's too tired / stressed for anything that he doesn't "have" to do.

Thanks, Heidi, that's really useful.

He is very bad at going to sleep at a good time, and always has been, but maybe now he's older it really isn't possible any more. Ditto stress. He has always become easily stressed, but it has been worse recently.

Thank you for giving me something to think over. :flowerforyou:
