“Sexual happiness” requires regular exercise

People often say: “Life lies in exercise.” This sentence is particularly important for middle-aged and elderly people.

Exercise can strengthen the body, which has long been confirmed by scientific research. Exercise can help sex, which is also the conclusion of sexual medicine research. According to an analysis of 2,000 survey questionnaires by a foreign women’s magazine, 83% of women who engage in aerobic exercise have sex at least 3 times a week, while 40% of men who exercise regularly, 31% of them have more frequent sexual behavior, and 20% of them feel that sexual climax is easier to reach the peak. A survey also shows that almost any aerobic exercise is beneficial to bed. Scientists believe that during exercise, the body can release a mood-boosting endorphin substance, which is precisely the body’s naturally occurring endocrine that can make people feel happy. Regular sports can also get rid of all worries and depression, which is very helpful to increase sexual desire.

Exercise can also increase the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in human serum, which is also beneficial to enhancing sexual desire. Researchers specifically pointed out that strong male athletes have this type of cholesterol that is beneficial to the body, and the level is quite high, so they can “work overtime” to clear the blockage in the arteries, thereby increasing the blood flow throughout the body, including the pelvic area and sexual organs.

Exercise can help sex, which can be divided into aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise.

There are many aerobic exercise items, which can be ranked according to the size of calorie consumption: dancing, cycling, swimming, jogging, walking, playing table tennis, Tai Chi, etc. Among them, swimming, brisk walking or jogging, Tai Chi, etc. are the best aerobic exercises for middle-aged and elderly people.

According to foreign surveys, some good swimmers still have sex more than once a week, just like men in their 30s, even at the age of 60. Swimming can also effectively prolong the erection time of men, exercise the pubococcygeus muscles of women, and enhance the strength of the vagina; through brisk walking or jogging, the quality of sex life of 66% of people can be improved. A 10-year study on “Massachusetts male aging” in the United States found that men who briskly walk or jog for 20 to 30 minutes a day can reverse impotence to a certain extent. Compared with people who do not exercise, people who run for more than 3 hours a week have sexual ability 2 to 5 years younger. Women can increase the tension of vaginal muscles through this exercise and are more likely to reach orgasm. According to another survey in the United States, at the beginning of practicing Tai Chi, 37% of people have a significant increase in the frequency of sexual activity; after a period of time, 10% of people have sex every day, and 29% have sex 3 to 5 times a week.

Some domestic sexologists said that doing some aerobic exercise properly will indeed be of great help to the sex life of couples, but it is best for couples to exercise together, which will not only help improve sex life, but also help cultivate common interests and hobbies and enhance intimacy between couples. Sexologists also suggest that couples can also do a sit-up exercise. Couples can do sit-ups together to exercise their abdominal muscles, making their lower abdomen flatter and firmer. They can also help adjust their breathing, making it easier for people to experience pleasure during sex. This exercise requires the cooperation of couples. The husband holds his wife’s hand, and the body can also have some intimate contact, which can be used as part of sexual foreplay.

It is worth reminding that after middle age, both men and women will inevitably experience a decrease in sexual desire. This is a rule. If you do proper exercise, you can indeed increase your sexual desire. But exercise alone is not enough. You also need a good living habit: less smoking, less drinking, less staying up late; pay attention to fitness, rest, and diet. If you can do these, for middle-aged and elderly people, you can do it and must do it. Even in your seventies, you can still enjoy a happy and harmonious sex life.
