Your sexual desire increases as your waist line decreases! New research has shown that losing about 13% of your bodyweight over a two year period boosts sexual desire. Your sex drive increases because you feel more sexuallyattractive. 200 people weighing an average weight close to 250 poundscompleted a questionnaire. They were asked to rate theirfeelings on lack of sex drive to reluctance to being seenundressed and difficult sexual performances. After being in a weight loss program for 12 months theparticipants completed another questionnaire and theresults were: 26 percent reported not feeling sexually attractive, downfrom 68 percent at the beginningnn34 percent report ed not wanting to be seen undressed, downfrom 63 percentnn11 percent report not enjoying sexual activity, down from 21percentnn15 percent reported having little sexual desire, down from39 percentnn15 percent reported avoiding sexual encounters, down from 29percentnn12 percent reported difficulty with sexual performance, downfrom 27 percentnnLow self esteem due to being overweight impacts sexualdesire levels as well as health and lifespan. Martin Binks a Duke University psychologist presented astudy at a meeting of the Obesity Society showing thatshedding a few pounds can improve things in the bedroom bymaking people feel better about their bodies. You reap a lot of benefit from moderate weight loss of 10 to13%. Binks said, "It's a wonderful message. You don't haveto reach some ideal weight to be healthy and happy." The feelings of being unattractive and the unwillingness tobe seen naked deadened the sexual desire. Plus, when theywanted to have sex, the excess weight made it an ordeal. That certainly was true of Carlene Wellington, 62, and herhusband, Gary, 63, of suburban Tacoma, Wash. Both were a healthy weight when they married 42 years ago,until she started to "show love" by cooking massive amountsof food. She and her husband ballooned to 237 and 355pounds, respectively, and their sex life suffered. "We had about 600 pounds in our bed," she said. "I called it my workbench," because sex was so physicallydifficult," he said. Carlene was embarrassed by her body. "I could get dressedwithout showing my skin, and had to have the lights off whenwe had sex," she said. During sex, she often felt pressure in her chest, caused byanxiety and dread. She now weighs 153 pounds and her tall husband a trim 235."It's just like being married to a different person - orgoing back 25 years," she said. Her husband recalled the day 13 years ago - after the couplehas just lost a combined 200 pounds - when he looked at hiswife one morning and told her she had a cute butt. "I don't know if she thought I was trying to make her latefor work or not," he said. But he was struck by how much hewanted to. "The term "love is blind" is true," he said. But now thathe and his wife have both lost weight, "things work better,"and sex is again a joy. A 13% weight loss for someone weighing 250 pounds is only32.5 pounds. A weight loss of 2.7 pounds per week for 12weeks would result in a loss of 32.4 pounds. Lose weight and boost your sex drive.
