Obesity And Sex
Is weight loss good for sex life?
There are many good reasons to lose weight. Improving your sex life might be one of them.
The benefits of sex include increased energy, improved mobility, and elevated self-esteem. These factors are bound to have a positive effect on your love life. In addition, if your weight contributes to depression, the confidence you gain from losing weight may help improve that condition.
But because the evidence regarding sexuality and obesity is mixed, there is no reason to believe that you can’t have a satisfying sex life during the weight loss process. Improved intimacy with your partner may even help you to get the emotional support you need as you lose weight.
The physical effects of obesity affecting your sex life
Before anything else, there is a myth pertaining to sex and obesity that needs to be dispelled. New research has brought into question several claims related to obesity that were previously accepted as truths. One of them is the fact that sex is a great workout that burns anywhere from 100 to 300 calories for short sessions. Latest studies show this to be false. One problem with obese people is that they lack stamina, therefore being unable to sustain high energy activities for long periods of time. The research revealed that the average amount of calories burned during a session of sex was less than 50. This means that it cannot be considered an effective weight loss tool by itself. It can, however, still be a powerful motivator to keep going when combined with a healthy diet and a workout regimen.
