CAN LOSING WEIGHT IMPROVE YOUR SEX LIFE?

 

If you are overweight / obese it is possible that you feel your sex life has gone forever.

 

Your libido or sex drive as it is more commonly known has diminished, maybe so much so that you have no interest in sex

whatsoever.

 

How Does Being Overweight Make You Feel?

 

Being overweight can make you feel unattractive. How can anyone fancy you while you look so ugly and fat?  You will compensate for this by telling yourself you don’t care.  Making excuses eg I’m too old for such things.  This is so untrue.  You can never be too old.  And if you are stressed, a loving sexual relationship can be very therapeutic.

 

To be a little flippant, you are going to die one day, you might as well die happy.

 

But seriously, a good sex life can do you the world of good.

 

It never seems to occur to us that if we lose some weight, we may well become the sexpots we were when we were younger.

 

I’m not saying lack of sexual desire is caused only by being overweight.  There are other possible reasons.

 

Other Reasons For A Lack of Sexual Desire

 

·        If you suffer with Diabetes

·        Or you are on medication for High Blood Pressure

·        Women of child-bearing years, despite the sophisticated contraception available now, may still fear becoming pregnant again.

·        Older people have the mistaken idea that sex is for the youngsters, and now they have reached a certain mature age, they consider themselves past it.

·        Men may have problems in their plumbing departments

·        If you are Depressed or Stressed

·        Women who are going through their Menopause and suffering and I mean suffering with hot flushes; being sexy is the last thing on their minds.

·        Loss of a loved one, through death or divorce.

·        Losing one’s job.

·        Etc, etc, etc

 

Have you lost interest in sex?  Could any of the above reasons be what is causing your problem?

 

What If None of The Above Apply To You

 

So what if you have shaken your head at all the above reasons, think of approaching your GP about your problem.  He may refer you to a sex therapist, once he/she has checked you out for other reasons for your lack of interest in sex. 

 

Don’t Struggle On Your Own

 

There is no need to be embarrassed, it’s more common than you may think.  Do you think it’s only you? 

 

All your friends have perfectly normal sex lives or so you think.  But who knows what goes on behind the doors / walls of other people’s homes.

 

Ok then, if you are overweight what would be the advantages of going on a Weight Loss Programme?
