I am being serious here...anyone's libido go through the roof when they started losing weight and re-gaining their fitness? Mine wasn't too shabby to begin with, but I think my wife may be running scared these days.

    Most people here will agree to that. Hell, its a huge difference on days I hit the gym vs. days I dont also.

    As weird as it sounds, it's actually kind of annoying...especially with a toddler and infant in the house.

    Yep, my poor boyfriend....... I've noticed it is especially high on Deadlift days, think it is the feeling if power. Shame I've had to quit the gym for a while :sad:

    Huh... never thought of that correlation. I know the more I work out the less of an appetite that I have.

    Uhh yeah. And it's a bit of an issue being single.

    I can imagine...pretty tough with the kiddos too. Not only lack of privacy, but my toddler is definitely in the I want mommy all of the time stage and the infant...well...pretty much reliant on mommy. That kind of leaves me hangin' a little and my wife is usually dog tired by the end of the day.

    Honestly wasn't a side effect that I was expecting....it's pretty much been just the last couple of weeks that it's really picked up, but I feel like I'm like 18 instead of 38.

    Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands.

    Yes, definitely. My wife doesn't seem to mind though I do chase her around the house occasionally.

    Yes! The biggest problem though is that "morning wood" has become "morning steel" and is damn near painful.. and no one around to umm.. lend a helping hand.

    My libido has always been on the high side of things, but there have been a few other benefits that have come from losing weight and strength training.

    Working out increases production of testosterone, which raises your libido. It's exactly what should be happening. --Science.
