Physical activity could also help with sexual dysfunction

Another study published in the Journal of Education and Health Promotion also found that physical fitness also has some medical benefits when it comes to sex. The research indicated that those who were considered obese tended to experience an increase in sexual dysfunction. The study showed that men with a higher BMI had a 30% higher risk of erectile dysfunction, while over half of obese men reported experiencing difficulties with sexual performance. Women on the other hand aren't let off the hook in this area either as the study reported that 40% of obese women claimed to not enjoy sex at all. Another study also came to the same conclusion. Published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, the study found that cardiovascular exercise can help remedy this situation.
