YOGYAKARTA Regular exercise keeps heart rate and blood pumped well. In line with these conditions, sexual arousal also increases significantly. According to certified sex therapist Jenni Skyer, Ph.D., moderate to high intensity cardio exercises can release happy hormones. When we feel happy, added Skyer, stress is reduced and sexual arousal space is fully occupied. More complete, here are the reasons why routine sports make sexual arousal increase significantly.

"Sports help increase testosterone levels that can increase arousal, especially for men," said Skyr as reported by Well+body, Monday, November 25. In the long term, weightlifting increases muscle mass. This triggers the body to produce more testosterone. HIIT (High-intensity interval training) training is shown to increase the sex hormone. Obviously Skyer, this is because testosterone is in direct contact with a feeling of stimulation.

For women, according to a small study published in Annals of Behavioral Medicine, it shows that 20 minutes of practice can increase genital arousal, increased dopamine and serotonin, mood, and decreased cortisol.

Physical activity not only advances blood flow to the muscles, but also to the genitals. The increase in circulation causes more lubrication or strong erectile, both of which are important in reaching climax.

While endorphins act as encouragement, cortisols decrease as a positive effect of exercise. Exercise is beneficial against stress and provides more space for joy and pleasure, including in sexual life.

A feeling of joy increases after exercise. This is related to increasing self-confidence as a positive effect from being closer to your body. According to Skyyer, the most important part of sports in addition to having an impact on sexual health and overall, is also useful for increasing self-confidence.

"Most people feel amazing after exercising and feel happy with themselves. And self-confidence is an bidder of insecurity and obstacles, and thus is the most important aphrodisiak regarding sexual desire and passion," explained Skyer.

In addition to significantly increasing sexual arousal, stronger bodies also make sex more satisfying. For example, during routine exercise of body strength with the target of core muscles, such as the back thigh and buttocks and hips. This is useful for improving the quality and intensity of orgasm. While exercise of upper body strength, such as chest, tricept, and bisep can help stamina or strength when taking certain sex poses, such as the variety of missionary poses. Finally, of course, flexibility and durability will be better to explore other varied poses with your partner.
