Why exercising leads to better sex

Exercising is not only good for your figure, it is also good for your sex life. Your endurance improves, you become more flexible, and you produce a lot of endorphins: all factors that contribute to a better sex life.

Higher libido
It has been proven that regular exercise increases sexual desire. According to research from the University of Texas, women who take antidepressants and therefore have a low libido benefit greatly from regular exercise. By exercising, the women in the study had more desire for sex and they experienced orgasms more often.

A workout can actually act as a natural Viagra pill. Physical exertion causes you to produce more testosterone. An increased testosterone level can lead to a greater desire for sex. Also, during your exercise, endorphins are released: the same substances that surge through your body during sexy time. The more often you produce this substance, the easier it is to get aroused. So are you in a sex slump? Hit the gym!

You become more flexible
A very nice side effect is of course that you work on your flexibility and you can probably guess how that can come in handy in the bedroom. Grab that Kama Sutra book quickly!

Better endurance
By exercising regularly, you build up fitness and endurance. Regular swimming, running, or working out can pay off in the bedroom. If you have good endurance, you can last longer between the sheets. Sex is, of course, a workout in itself. Just say bye bye to cramped legs in the cowgirl position.

It promotes your circulation
Exercise improves your cardiovascular system. Difficult word, but it boils down to the fact that the cardiovascular system is responsible for regulating blood circulation. During exercise, your heart pumps blood faster through your body, which means your organs get better blood flow. Yes, even your private parts! Your vagina and clitoris become more sensitive, allowing you to experience better and more intense orgasms. Bye bye orgasm gap!
