Over the years, you’ve come to realize the benefits of sport. You know: looking better, feeling better, living longer, playing with more strength and endurance.
There’s another example you may not know about: sport will also exponentially improve your performance in the bedroom. Being active and engaged is the very basis of good sex. So, yes, it may sound obvious when you put it like that. But are these 30 reasons obvious to you?
1 – You’ll have better orgasms
When you climax – and this applies to both sexes – you contract what are known as the pubococcygeus muscles, located in the abdomen. If a person has weak pubococcygeus muscles, they may have difficulty producing an erection, maintaining an erection or becoming aroused enough to have an intense orgasm. So work on this point during your physical exercises, center and perineum!
2 – You’ll be better able to speak up
People often fail sexually because they’re out of shape. Literally. If you don’t exercise and aren’t fit, it doesn’t mean you can’t be a smitten lover, but often it means you’re just not physically able to go through the motions. Getting (back) into shape will open the door to sex. You can refine the technique later.
3 – You’ll be able to go all the way
“If you don’t use it, you lose it, it’s true,” says the professionals about every aspect of our body and well-being, our cognitive thoughts, the strength of our muscles. Apply this thinking to the way you live and it will take you far.
4 – You can stay in position longer
Strength and tone are what we get from a regular exercise routine. This translates directly into better sex, from the simplest of reasons, like being able to stay missionary for longer, to more complex factors we’ll cover in what most of us would call fifteen minutes.
5 – Sport gives you endorphins
When you exercise, your body releases endorphins. Endorphins, as you know, produce feelings of euphoria; you’ll have a better overall view of life. We release our good feelings and bring them everywhere we go, including the bedroom.
6 – You’ll feel better about yourself
Exercise also boosts your self-esteem. We have a boosted sense of self-confidence, so if you know you’ve done your workout right, you’ll feel better morally and about your body, so you can throw yourself into the sexual arena.
7 – You’ll have a deeper relationship with your partner
When we think of sex, we think of it as the energy that flows between two people. Feeling better about yourself and your appearance will improve your energy, leaving you free of inhibitions – ripe for the most ecstatic sex.
8 – You’ll stoop better
Practice gently, from your knees to your toes, down to your arms, shoulders and neck. Most people turn and move their heads during oral sex. So it goes without saying that if one partner’s neck stiffens, you risk something else if yours does the opposite.
9 – You’ll cramp less
And while you’re loosening up your neck, you should be loosening up everything else. Regular exercise will make you more flexible. The more flexible you are, the fewer cramps you’ll have. And nothing will spoil a good sex session like a limb – or worse, your back – seizing up.
10 -You’ll have lubricated joints
Having flexibility in the joints, the knees in particular, is very important. Many complain that sex is a strain on the knees, especially on all fours. So sport offers you long-term maintenance of the machine.
11 – You’ll be able to do it standing up
That’s about fifteen minutes, right? Cool. Now we’re going to get into what we wanted to talk about earlier: new positions. Standing sex requires a lot of strength and muscle tone. So for those who want to do it standing up, it’s all about getting a bit of practice in, and exercising every day is the first step. After that, you can also combine it with diet.
12 – In fact, you’ll be able to do it in every possible way
There’s a Kama Sutra program with 36 items. “Straightened sex”, however, happens to be the simplest of the things to do. So, if you’re not fit enough to do it, how are you going to tackle the other 35?
13 – You’ll stay in position
Simply put, sex takes strength andendurance. When we talk about sex, we usually think of endurance: how long can I last before I come? But we should also apply this to things like: How long can I hold this position? Or how long can I stand foreplay?
14 – You’ll be able to do yoga in the bedroom
Speaking of flexibility and new sexual positions, perhaps you’ve heard of this aerobic exercise called… yoga? In addition to dramatically improving your flexibility and mood (and your connection with your chakras, your partner, …), yoga offers a ton of possibilities when it comes to the bedroom. To get started, read about the moves that will instantly transform your sex life.
15 – You’ll enter a sexual cycle
According to one study, during an average sexual session, men will burn about 100 calories. (For women, it’s 69.) So it’s a vigorous, erotic and super-fun cycle; sex gets you in shape, which makes you more attractive, which leads to more sex.
16 – You’ll have an excuse to spend more time with her/him
A University of Texas study found that couples who work together have more satisfying sex. So grab your partner and go for it so you can do it later.
17 – You’ll give better massages
A stronger grip makes for a better, firmer massage. So close the tube of lube and give each other massages; it’ll relax you both.
18 – Better blood circulation
Sport increases blood flow, and when blood flow increases, well, you know… Wait, seriously, right? Increased blood flow will make your erections harder and easier to get.
19 – You’ll have an excuse to beat him
If you want to work specifically on the pubococcygeus muscles, you can try exercises commonly known as Kegels, such as stop and start and then stop and start your pee jets. You can also try an exercise you’ve probably been doing for decades: masturbation – or, in scientific terms, pubococcygeus strength training.
20 – You’ll last forever
More often than not, sex is all about maintaining it, in the first place. If you exercise more – whether it’s ” pubococcygeus strength training” or traditional aerobic exercise, you may just last longer. When your mind is exposed to long periods of resistance training, like those you encounter during a workout, you can handle more.
21 – You’ll live longer
We all know that regular exercise leads to a longer, healthier life. So, if you live to be 100, you’ll have more years to make love. And if you’re fit, you’ll still be able to keep your mojo years later, which you the nerve center of the retirement home.
22 – You’ll have an excuse to eat more
The more you exercise, the hungrier you get. When it comes to recharging your energy after a workout, don’t think of it as something you have to do, think of it as an opportunity.
23 – You’ll rarely experience unwanted pain
Unless the pain is consensual pain for pleasure, pain greatly disrupts a sexual act. If you’re fit and strong, sex is less likely to hurt like cramps.
24 – You’ll have better control
Exercise – especially activities like squats – gives you better control over your sex. With a toned backside, you’ll be able to get things going faster and longer. Plus, who doesn’t want a wild ride? Squats are perfect for that.
25 – You’ll get more
Exercise enough and you’ll simply be more attracted to the women/men you’re trying to attract. Practice makes perfect.
26 – Your skin will improve
We don’t realize it, but the skin is our largest sexual organ. Exercise gets blood and oxygen flowing through your body, which in turn will oxygenate your skin, making you feel warmer to the touch, literally and metaphorically.
27 – Exercise initiates better manual stimulation
All that extra strength and stamina will come in handy, literally. If your arms are stronger, it will take them longer to tire during foreplay (yes, of course it’s essential, come on, man), especially when your hand is in her pants or under her skirt.
28 – Less stress
Admittedly, in the moments following sport, your body releases cortisol, the dreaded “stress hormone”. But that’s no excuse for slacking off. In the long term, exercise increases your body’s resistance to cortisol. Seeing as cortisol increases stress and decreases libido, removing it from your life can only be a good thing.
29 – You will have increased testosterone
Regular exercise, in addition to depleting cortisol, increases the body’s production of testosterone. Testosterone, of course, leads to all the good things we’ve mentioned so far, from increased blood flow (harder erections) to stronger muscles, ultimately to increased libido.
30 – No more sedentary lifestyle
Everyone, even those tangentially involved in the medical field, will tell you that our collective tendency to adopt a sedentary lifestyle is simply wrong. Eight (or more) hours a day in a chair isn’t good for anyone.
