Can Losing Weight Improve Your Sex Life?

Copyright 2006 Eva Moffat
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
anymore
Being overweight can make you feel unattractive You will
compensate for this by telling yourself you don’t care Making
excuses eg I’m too old for such things
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 be being
overweight There are other possible reasons
Other possible causes may be:
· People with Diabetes · 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 · Being Depressed or Stressed · Etc
If you have lost interest in sex, could any of the above reasons
be what is causing your problem?
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
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 But who knows what goes on behind
the walls of other people’s homes
If you are overweight what would be the advantages of losing
weight?
· The obvious, you’d look and feel better · You might well save
your own life because of the various conditions being overweight
may trigger eg
· High Blood Pressure · Diabetes · Heart Attacks · Strokes etc
So losing weight has a lot going for it
Who knows, you might even get your sex drive back again and this
is irrespective of your age
