    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.

    ^^ bahaha! Good luck with that.
  • Yes, yes, yes. :D But we have the Bubba and toddler issue also, coupled with a hubby who works weird hrs . :-/ Can become challenging... lol.

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

    My libido is the same as always. But since I got into shape the libido of the women near me has increased. Transference Property? Or magic?

    Confidence, endorphins and a lot better blood flow going everywhere. Lack of proper circulation can be a problem for libido, so getting the blood pumping and clearing out plaque in the veins should have a positive effect.

    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.
    Not uncommon for a sedentary overweight male to have a boost. Test was dormant and now at higher levels.

    Actually, I've found that while losing weight my libido goes down.

    I heard (on tv, in no way reputable so this could be wrong) that when the body is "starving" / you're eating at a calorie deficit, the body begins to shut down reproductive systems because if you can't locate enough food to feed yourself, you obviously can't provide food for a fetus/child. Hearing that made me connect the dots between my lowered libido & my weight loss, before I was sure it had to be caused by something else but wasn't sure what!

    Confidence..............Rock her world and do not stop! Nothing sexier than a Man who knows what he wants!
  • 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.

    Same for me. What was already high has just shot through the roof.
    Can't say I complain though!

    A good workout after a good workout ;)

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

    ^^ Bahahahahaha...


    lmao soooooo funny!!!

    Yes! And mine was already higher than my husband's ( damn women hitting their prime way after men ). I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I *feel* sexier than I ever did before.

    Now that I can find my weenie, I ain't ever letting go of him again.

    Sex everyday. I think I am going to start asking my wife to participate, I shouldn't enjoy this alone.......
  • Yup :) wonderful side effect. However, if it keeps up at this rate I'll be pregnant shortly after I hit my goal weight- ain't life ironic?
