Exercises for Better Sex

Most people exercise to keep fit. It keeps the heart healthy and can add years to your life. But did you know that you can exercise for better sex too?

Here are some reasons why you should exercise for your sexual health:

Studies have shown that exercise makes you feel sexy. When you are fit and healthy, you have an improved body image. This, naturally, leads to you feeling desirable and comfortable.

People who exercise more have more sex. This is due, in part, to the fact that those who exercise more tend to be healthier and have more attractive bodies, and enjoy physical activity in general (sex included).

Penis health is heart health. As erectile dysfunction is often caused by circulatory problems, ensuring that your blood vessels and arteries are not blocked is key. In a study of men over the age of 50, researchers found that those who were physically active reported better erections and a 30 per cent lower risk of impotence than men who were inactive.

The feeling of pleasure you feel after a romp in the bedroom is not unlike the high you get after a solid workout. Both are caused by the release of endorphins, and the more frequent and intense the releases, the easier it is for sexual arousal and pleasure in the future. Research shows that women who frequently workout become aroused more quickly and are able to reach an orgasm faster and more intensely.

While we are not advocating you try out all the positions in the Karma Sutra, being fit and flexible means you have more options between the sheets. With increased fitness levels, you will have greater strength and endurance – you’ll last longer in the bedroom. And who wouldn't want that, right?

Here are some exercises for better sex – we like to call them sexercises. They are best done three to five times a week.

Kegels are excellent for both men (to delay orgasm) and women (to increase satisfaction and reduce vaginal infections). Basically, you contract the muscles you use to stop urinating midstream, known as the pubococcygeal (PC) muscles. Start by doing a short clench, relax and then try for a longer clench for 10 to 15 seconds. Repeat 10 times, three times a day at least.

Pelvic lifts mimic the action of having sex. Lie on your back with your knees bent and hands by your side. Next, lift your pelvis up and down in a rhythmic motion, squeezing your butt muscles at the same time. Do one set of five to 10 repeats, increasing the number of sets as you improve.

Do not underestimate the humble push-up. With your hands parallel to your shoulders, lie on the floor on your stomach. Push up with your hands until your arms are straightened and your chest and knees are off the ground. Next, lower your body until it is almost touching the ground. Repeat 10 to 20 times.

Another simple sexercise you can do is crunches, which also has the added benefit of toning your abs. Lie on your back with your knees bent. Cross your feet and lift them so they are parallel to the ground. Cross your hands on your chest and lift it off the ground using your stomach muscles. Do three sets of 20 each.

You may not be religious, but you can still pray for better sex with this exercise. Lie down on your back with your knees bent and legs apart. With your hands in a prayer position, lift your chest off the ground and push your hands through your legs. Do three sets of 20 each.
