What is sexual fitness?

from LoveCentria

Sexual fitness is the latest idea to push its way into the popular culture of our times and, like most other good ideas, it sounds simple, but requires a lot of dedication. Whether you’re one of those guys who like to stay up until morning with the friends at the pub, or one of those who jog in the park and like to think of themselves as health-oriented, you are going to have to pay attention to this new concept making headlines today. The basic idea is simple: your sexual health is related to your overall health, which means that any abuse of your body will translate into a loss of sexual performance.

Any man who wants an excellent sex life should learn to take care of his body and, most important, to keep his cardiovascular system in perfect condition because a healthy erection depends on the normal flow of blood through the body. Junk food, as well as any food rich in cholesterol should be kept to a minimum, while cigarettes, large quantities of alcohol and all manner of recreational drugs should just go away. A glass of alcohol once in a while will do you no harm, but try not to drink more than this bare minimum.

Smoking brings nicotine into your body and nicotine constricts the veins and arteries, slowing down the flow of blood and making your erections harder to achieve. Alcohol also wreaks havoc on your cardiovascular system, which spells doom for your erections. Many men really think they can do anything they want to their bodies, they can push them to the limit and beyond with alcohol, tobacco, drugs and food and never ever suffer any setbacks in the bedroom department. Well, this idea is plain wrong. There’s no way to abuse your body without having to suffer the consequences.

Losing a bit of weight in the process is not a bad idea, especially if you are a couple of pounds overweight and would really like to get rid of that spare tire around the waist. Just follow this simple advice and you will enjoy strong erections well into your old age. Physical effort keeps the blood flowing, keeps your heart in shape and increases the production of testosterone, three things which are very important for your sexual fitness. Increased blood flow to the pelvic area can be obtained through exercises that work out the lower part of the body, including the quadriceps, hamstring and lower back.

Stress, unhealthy food, long work hours, various pills and lack of physical exercise are all part of this problem because they lower the body’s capacity for effort and, consequently, the capacity for achieving strong and satisfying orgasms. Moreover, the abuse that we do to our bodies is compounded by the process of aging. At the age of 15, the erect penis has the highest rigidity value, but every decade that passes subtracts a bit from that number, sapping the vitality that is essential to anybody’s sex life. Nevertheless, the only thing that keeps this negative pattern going is our own lack of effort to improve the situation.
