in Fitness and Exercise
How often are you doing it? Does your size limit you to certain positions? How do you approach this with your partner? Do you count it as exercise?
I'm 44yo and honestly hoping my libido increases once I get a bit smaller.
Any thoughts?

    I can confidently say that my libido is directly correlated to my mental state at the time. My weight loss is one of the most important and top prioritized things I'm doing in my life right now. When I'm off kilter and haven't been working out and eating well my libido plummets. I feel self conscious, tired, and just blah. When I've been eating well and working out I feel amazing and my libido follows suit and is on fire. Everything is so damn mental for me, lol. Trying to not be so all or nothing right now. And yes, the more in shape and fitter I feel and look, I feel sexier and am more active in the bedroom.

    It's totally related. When myself and partner are in shape, endurance is great. Def don't count it as a workout, though lol

    I think there is a direct correlation between the two but that's just from my own personal experience. I've been up and down my whole life weight wise and when I'm in good shape my libido is high and I have high endurance and can do more positions but being bigger and out of shape I pretty much have no sex drive right now.

    Somebody should start a thread and ask for only white people to respond.

    My libido is so sad and has been for the past year and a half or so. I've lost weight in that time, but I don't know that that's the cause. It started when I was on hormonal birth control, but even after a being off it about a year, my libido is still low when before my partner couldn't keep up with me.
    As for endurance though, I can definitely tell a difference when I do have sex now that I'm more fit. I can do things I couldn't before, too.
    And no, I don't log it as exercise, even though I do most of the work.

    I found that getting into even just slightly better shape improved everything in this department. My interest, my confidence, and my endurance all have improved lately. I expect this to continue as I move forward in my efforts. The more attracted I am to myself the more open I am for my partner, I find.

    Whenever I have a sex related question, I google the question and then add "+ bodybuilding.com forum." You'll find a disturbing level of honesty there.

    My husband and I have a very healthy sex life. When I'm working out regularly I tend to have more energy and better flexibility. I'm also in a better state of mind so I can relax and enjoy it more. It's a direct correlation for me.

    I do feel that some sessions should be logged though.

    I just tried this out of boredom. Did not disappoint.
