Fitness definitely equals better sex!
Gym rats seem to have it all: lots of money and time, good bodies, fancy clothes, and the latest gadgets. Now it turns out they have better sex too? How is this fair?
Simple: being fit makes your sex better. Here are a few reasons gym rats have better sex:
- Their heads are in the right place — Sex isn’t just a physical thing; the brain has a large role to play in the quality and quantity of sex. Exercise helps to reduce stress, balance your emotions, and get your head in the right place. As a result, you’ll have a higher sex drive and less stress to get in the way of great sex.
- They’re more flexible –– Do I really need to spell out why it’s easier to have great sex when you’re flexible?
- They’re more confident –– Having a good body builds confidence, and confidence is a key to feeling sexy. The sexier you feel, the more you exude that confidence–which makes you appealing to your partner. Definitely a good reason to get in shape!
- They’re stronger — When you’re trying new and unique sex positions, muscular strength is a must! Even just simple sex requires a bit of strength, so those with strong muscles have an easier time having sex.
- Their blood flows better — What do you think causes the physical sensation of arousal? It’s a rush of blood to the genitals. Those who work out have better circulation, meaning more blood can reach their genitals more quickly.

- They have stronger sex muscles –– The muscles around the pelvic and groin region play a huge role in not just your ability to have sex, but the strength of your orgasms. Stronger sex muscles mean stronger contractions, meaning stronger waves of pleasure!
- They are more fertile –– Exercise helps to balance out the levels of hormones in the bodies of both men and women. Balanced hormones help to keep your sex drive normal, but also ensures that your reproductive system is working properly.
- They’re more focused –– Exercise eliminates stress, which in turn stops you from tuning out when it’s time to get down and dirty. You have an easier time focusing on what you are doing, making it easy to get in the mood and get the job done.
- They last longer –– It’s true: fit people tend to last longer in bed! Physical activity helps you to develop the staying power needed to last the 12 to 15 minutes that the average woman takes to orgasm. No tired muscles or aching body, even after a marathon session!
- They have fewer inhibitions — The more comfortable you are with your body, the easier it is to get rid of the inhibitions that stop you from enjoying sex like a rockstar. Imagine how hard it is to get in the mood if you’re worried about your partner touching that extra belly flab or your butt cellulite. With a fit body, there’s no “danger zones” to worry about, so it’s easier to stay in the mood.
- Their sex is just physically better –– Women with lower body fat have an easier time lubricating, and their desire for sex is higher. This latter result is thanks to the balancing of their hormones, ensuring that they have higher levels of estrogen over testosterone (the male hormone that reduces female sex drive).
If you want to have better sex, it’s time to hit the gym too!
