Fitness & Sexuality
Fitness and sexuality are closely linked, as good physical condition has a positive influence on many aspects of sexual health. Regular physical activity not only supports general health, but also improves the conditions for a stable erectile function, an active sex life and psychological well-being.
Important areas of impact of fitness on sexuality:
- Cardiovascular health: A strong cardiovascular system improves blood flow, which is crucial for a good erection.
- Hormonal balance: Physical activity, especially strength and interval training, can naturally increase testosterone levels and thus boost libido and sexual performance.
- Pelvic floor muscles: Targeted training of the pelvic floor muscles (e.g. through Kegel exercises) supports control over erection and ejaculation.
- Stress reduction: Sport helps to reduce stress hormones (such as cortisol) and increases the release of endorphins (happiness hormones), which has a positive effect on desire and sexual self-confidence.
- Body image and self-perception: Regular training can improve your own body image, which often has a direct impact on sexual satisfaction.
A lack of physical fitness, on the other hand, can lead to problems such as erectile dysfunction, loss of libido, hormonal disorders or even psychological inhibitions.
Targeted fitness programs that combine endurance, strength training and mobility exercises can increase sexual performance and improve overall quality of life in the long term.
