To change the quality of your sexual life you can, just ... Changing weight. When a person grows thin, say American researchers from the State of Agayo, his libido (sexual desire) increases. And then the quality of sex becomes much better. Lose weight women and men begin to behave and feel completely different, and the brightness of their sexual impressions intensifies.

Personal prejudices

They are as small as cockroaches, but they never leave us. For example, the prejudice that a fat (sorry, full) woman can not be sexual. Or that a man who is overweight can not make love in full-he is hampered by the stomach or something else. Buttocks, for example.

Another prejudice - a couple overweight in the bed looks comically, like bears or sumo wrestlers who decided to have some fun. In general, these prejudices can be listed for a long time, wasting time and never coming to the point: it's all nonsense. In fact, what matters is not how much you weigh, but how sexy you feel.

But, if you can not simply part with prejudice, part with at least part of your weight first. Thus, you will feel more thin - and more sexual. What do you get for sex, losing weight?

  • Strengthen your own libido
  • Increase the production of sex hormones, which will begin to be more actively secreted, as soon as you lose weight a little
  • You will eat healthier foods that help lower blood cholesterol and protect blood vessels from blockage
  • Boost your mood, because your thoughts will tell you: "Yes, yes, I could (could) it !!"
  • You will go in for sports (and how else you will lose weight) and so improve blood circulation, remove excess toxins from the body
  • You buy yourself new clothes and new sexy lingerie, because the old began to hang out on you
  • Finally, you will believe that you are provoking desire from your partner (partner)!

In order to reward yourself with all these benefits, it is worthwhile to identify the reasons that prevent you from remaining sexual and desirable in the weight in which you are now.

How does excess weight affect the decrease in libido?

Recently, a medical center in New York conducted studies that identified the effect of excess weight on reducing sexual desire. So, more than a third of people with excess weight turned to a sexologist for help. They complained that their sexual desire is quenched and is generally reduced to zero. Why is this happening? Scientists participating in the study explain this as follows.

High levels of cholesterol in the blood of people who are overweight, and "indifference" of the body to insulin, which indicates a tendency to diabetes, also affects the potency, especially in men. The body produces a hormone that has the property of inhibiting the production of sex hormones and affect the sexual desire. It fades away as the potency falls. These hormones even have a name - globulin. He connects the production of sex hormones, in particular, testosterone. Thus, a man becomes sexually sluggish, uninformative.

When cholesterol in the vessels becomes more and more, the fatty and tiny arteries in the penis of men become clogged, this leads to impotence or erectile dysfunction. And when a man is tormented by such a problem as insufficient hardness of the penis, he does not want to have sex. That's the whole point.

Women with obesity also experience the extinction of sexual desire, because of the excess weight they slow blood circulation. This means that to their sexual organs (in particular, to the clitoris), there is little blood and oxygen, which it carries. Therefore, the desire of women to sex, too, begins to appear sluggish, because a woman can not properly react to the sexuality of a man - her clitoris does not swell. That is, the system is the same as in men with phallus. Hence the conclusion - it is necessary to get rid of fatty foods and excess cholesterol, which clogs blood vessels - and sexual desire can greatly increase.

Simple ways to stimulate the potency

You will not believe, but researchers write that losing only 5 kg leads to an increase in sexual desire. And quite active. But that is not all. Once a person starts eating healthier foods with fewer fats, but more vegetables and fruits, the blood glucose level returns to normal, the cholesterol level gradually returns to normal, and this can activate the libido, even if the weight has not moved off the ground in any way .

Physical exercises that were not previously practiced by full people can significantly improve their sex life. How? Physical activity increases the flow of blood to the genital organs of men and women and promotes the appearance of sexual desire, even without weight loss. This is especially true for women - the effect of physical exercises comes stronger and faster.

What physical exercises to choose to activate your libido? This list is diverse and interesting. It:

  • Yoga
  • Fast walk
  • Run
  • Eastern dance
  • Bicycle riding

In general, any activity that leads to better circulation in the buttocks, genitals, hips. As a result, during sexual intercourse, a woman becomes more excited, she releases more lubricant, she quickly reaches orgasm. Therefore, on another occasion, her sexual feelings will be even more vivid and the sexual desire will begin to appear more quickly.

A very good stimulating factor for the return of sexual desire can be light erotic novels. Just 15 minutes of this reading, at least every other day - and the person focuses on sexual arousal, and not on the idea of replacing balcony doors.

For your sex is not responsible sex organs, and the head

Your sexual desire arises not because you lost weight or recovered, but because you thought of yourself as sexy. Many men and women simply enough to control their physical form - and with sex they will be all right. What you think about your image, which you see in the mirror, is your sexuality. Sexologists say that a low rating of yourself as a lover or mistress leads to the extinction of sexual desire - and vice versa. The ability to accept and love your weight and your size makes it possible to choose sexual partners from a large number and be desirable for them.

Sexuality of full people experts consider courage in overcoming constraint for the experience of vivid sexual sensations. Agree that it is very difficult to enjoy sex. If at the same time you think that your chest looks saggy, but the buttocks are too full. And even more difficult at the same time to bring pleasure to the partner (partner).

The way they look in sex, becomes a "pencil" for both men and women. And still, doctors note that women are more likely to exaggerate their own shortcomings and suffer from a lack of sexual attraction because of this. And she persists in rejecting herself even when a man tells her words of love and admiration. Men are less likely to be unhappy with themselves because of too much fatness. They still remain males in any way.
