The sex life of a man is more important than any other activity in his life. Raliat Ahmed-Yusuf highlights five highly-recommended “sex exercises” and how best they can enhance this through exercise.?
One of the major worries that men go through in life is how to make their sex life more interesting. This has been a worry from generation to generation, leading to series of research into how to boost men’s sexual activities, resulting in the introduction of different stimulants, like the Viagra.
But wait a minute. Research has also found that regular exercise could be the best medicine to improve men’s sex life. Exercise is a natural practice through which human body activities and movements create fitness and healthiness.
So, while being conscious of your health through regular workout can create a better sex life, but did you know that hitting the gym can also help you have better sex?
According to Times of India, “working out three to four times a week can do a lot to help your sexual technique, flexibility, and endurance.”
So what types of exercise will lead to better sex? Below are five essential ways to enhance this sex life:
1: Weightlifting
Sometimes, doctors advise men to lift weight, but unknown to many, it causes the body to produce testosterone, which is the primary precursor for the male sex drive. In fact, some studies have linked short intense exercise, such as weightlifting, with increased testosterone levels. So, go for push-ups, sit-ups and crunches. These muscle-building exercises can help lead to better sex by strengthening the shoulders, chest, and abs.
2: Kegels
Doing Kegels is considered a good sex exercise for men, because these exercises can help endurance and control by toning the pubococcygeus (PC) muscles – the ones that let you stop the flow of urine mid-stream. They strengthen the muscles in your body’s pelvic floor, which can lead to better sex. Men can use Kegels to delay ejaculation by contracting these muscles just before orgasm. To do Kegels, start by interrupting the flow of urine when going to the bathroom to get familiar with your PC muscles.
3: Yoga
Practicing yoga will give you better sex by allowing your body to get into creative positions for maximum pleasure during intercourse. Yoga poses that improve pelvic muscles are the Bow Pose, Peacock Pose (also called the Forearm or Elbow Balance) and Shoulder Stand.
4: Fast walking
Brisk walking is thought to help Erectile Dysfunction by improving circulation and blood flow. Fast walking, running, and other aerobic activities keep your blood vessels clear. The result can be stronger and longer erections. Vigorous activities, such as running and brisk walking, also release endorphins and relax you, which can boost sexual performance.
5: Swimming
Swimming for at least 30 minutes three times a week will increase sexual endurance and also lead to weight loss, which can also lead to better sex. It is no secret that losing excess body fat will help attain that six-pack abs and make you more attractive to potential partners. The result: better sex! Try doing some (or all) of the above workouts to improve your sexual technique, endurance, and flexibility. Your lover will be impressed with your sexual powers and, as a side benefit, you’ll get healthier and fitter along the way.
