Weightloss=Better sex?

I always feel sexier when I exercise! Something about the endorphins that are released make me want sex.

i def feel sexier when i exercise and eat well. when you eat crap and don't do anything physical, your body tends to not crave sex as much (i'm not sure of the exact science, maybe someone can explain that part more thoroughly).

but remember, when dieting, make sure you are eating properly and take a multivitamin. and not to overdo exercise; there is such thing as too much. you should be losing 2 pounds a week at the very most (to decrease extra flabby skin)

I've been a vegetarian my entire life and always eat healthy. I also have a very physical job (I'm an ecologist) and I exercise and hike regularly. I have always been a big girl my whole life, and I am also over 200 pounds. My sex life hasn't suffered, but maybe it's my attitude. However, I imagine if you are large and also unhealthy, unathletic, or inflexible, your sex life might suffer.

I can understand that. I know for men if they're over weight there tends to be more fat around the pubic area and losing some weight can make them a little bigger. Kind of like when you push down around the pubic bone & it is longer. Anyways, I'm barely 5 ft. so every pound shows. I used to be about 125 pounds and I was so uncomfortable with myself. I'm 93 lbs now which is about where I feel right. & I'm always right at 93. I developed some issues with myself a few years ago after some yucky things I went through and that caused me to lose so much confidence. I feel a lot better at my normal 93, but I know when you feel not so pretty, whether it's your weight, other things, or in my case one boob being drastically larger than the other, it tends to get in the way of your enjoyment. I hate when were in the middle of it and I can't stop thinking about things like the big and tiny boob. I constantly wonder things like isn't that disgusting to him? He always compliments me though and it helps tremendously and he can tell if I'm feeling on the insecure side and he always stops to ask what's wrong. Then he tells me he thinks I'm beautiful and usually I'm fine then. It still sucks no matter what issue your battling and it can really cause problems in your sex life, especially if you're partner is unhappy with your looks which should never be the case. Every woman is beautiful and there's always a man out there who WILL think you are even if others don't.

I've heard of cases where the sex life stops all together when one person feels very insecure and that's so sad. It makes my heart hurt. When your partner shows that he loves you and thinks your beautiful though, it can make all the difference in the world. Sometimes that's all a person needs.

I feel sexier when slim but I don't let it stop me when I am big

I feel like my sex life was better and more frequent when I weighed less but I've gained 20 or so pounds in the last couple of years so maybe it's more of an age and then a changing relationship thing?

I imagine the answer would be yes, better self-esteem when naked, more energy, easier to do more positions.

But on the otherhand I wish I could say no, since I doubt I'll ever be at the weight I should be. I'm somewhere between 230-250 and only 5 feet tall.

losing weight makes me feel sexier, which in turn makes me want sex and makes that sex more enjoyable. So yes. I would agree.

i went on a diet over a yr ago by eating better & working out & lost 42 lbs. (by now i've gained almost all of it back, so i have to get back to my old routine). after losing that much weight, i felt better physically & emotionally. i could do things longer, walking to class wasn't so bad, & i found that i was much happier a lot more of the time. i had better self esteem, & that transferred to when i was intimate w/ my bf. w/ more energy & better self esteem, things were better. i was able to get off much more easily b/c i wasn't worried about how i looked. but that's just me. the self esteem issue is different for each woman. there are full figured women out there who are happy w/ themselves who may feel the same in the bedroom that i do when i'm thinner.

When I was injured and gained a fair bit of weight, I was certainly not as interested in sex. Not only did my body just feel unattractive (to me, I know there are lots of BBW out there who adore their lush and lovely bodies), but I felt tired and weak as well.

Once I started working out and I trimmed down and gained back the strength and stamina that I had lost, I was much more interested in sex and enjoyed it more.

Sex is a very physical activity. It helps to be in good physical shape.

I hit my highest weight I was ever at last year, March of 2010, at 240 pounds and I got fed up with myself..so I started to actively try to lose weight and since then I have lost 75 pounds. I am also 5'6 btw, so I still have a bit to go but I'll tell ya, sex has changed for me drastically! I've had the same partner and he has increasingly raved about our sex life and that reinforces me even moreso. I feel more confident naked, feel like I can get in more positions, can experiment a lot more, stuff like that..
