Obesity not only leads to lifestyle diseases like diabetes, heart
disease, cancer but also can dampen your sex life. It can lead to lack
of sexual stamina, sexual dysfunction and hormonal imbalance.
Also the medicines you take for various diseases that go hand-in-hand
with obesity like diabetes, heart disease and hypertension can lead to
lack of libido and erectile dysfunction among other sex-related
problems. With 1.5 billion people around the world in the overweight
category, sex-related concerns of obesity is a situation various
healthcare services will have to deal with sooner than later. Here are
the top ten ways obesity can harm your sex life:
ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
Did you know that obese men are far likelier to suffer from erectile
dysfunction (ED) or impotency? Problems associated with obesity like
high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes prevent efficient blood flow to
all parts of the body including the penis, thus causing issues with
erection. Various studies have shown that even losing a little amount of
weight can help beat the condition.
HORMONAL IMBALANCE LEADING TO LOW LIBIDO
Obesity is directly linked to hormonal imbalance and lower testosterone
levels, which in turn can inhibit sexual desires in both men and women.
Another issue is that increased body fat leads to more sex hormone
binding globulins (SHBG) in the system. SHBG is a natural chemical that
binds to testosterone, which means that there is less of the sex hormone
left to handle the demands of a normal sex life. There has also been
evidence to suggest that obesity in young boys can lead to fatigue and
development of male breasts. In young girls it can lead to PCOD,
irregular menstrual cycle and thyroid problems.
INFERTILITY
In women, obesity leads to abnormalities in their eggs that make them
harder to fertilise. Brigham and Women’s Hospital infertility
researchers examined nearly 300 eggs that failed to fertilise during IVF
and found obese women’s eggs were likelier to have chromosomal
abnormalities. It also causes excess insulin production and PCOD (a
condition where the periods are irregular and ovaries produce small,
immature eggs instead of healthy mature ones). Obese women are also
likely to suffer from failed pregnancies and miscarriages than regular
weighing ones. Here is how to combat vaginal dryness naturally to have
pleasurable sex.
In men, obesity is directly linked to infertility because of the way it
affects sperm. Research has found that men who consume a fatty diet have
lower quality of sperm. Men consuming more saturated fats had 35
percent lower total sperm count and 38 percent lower sperm concentration
than men who ate healthier.
OBESITY-RELATED DISEASE THAT HINDER SEX
People who are heavy, particularly in the central abdomen area tend to
suffer from a host of diseases which can affect their sex lives in
various ways. This can be due to physiological or psychological reasons
or due to medicines taken for the disease. Diabetes, heart disease,
cancer, hypertension, depression, dementia and other ailments all affect
your sexual functioning. In fact, one of the most tell-tale symptoms of
diabetes is erectile dysfunction. Medicines too, ranging from
anti-depressants to those used to treat heart conditions, high blood
pressure and cholesterol can lead to sexual issues like impotence,
decreased sex drive, ejaculation problems and even delayed or no
orgasms.
BURIED PENIS SYNDROME
Folds of abdominal fat and skin in obese men make the penis look rather
small or even ‘buried’ at times. Called the ‘buried penis syndrome’, it
can seriously hamper sex lives. This however, should not be confused
with the ‘micropenis’ which is a condition where the erect penis
measures less than 3 inches. This is mostly a congenital disorder in
children and can affect around 0.6% of the male population.
STDs AND UNWANTED PREGNANCIES
Since obese people are likely to have less sex than the others, they are
likelier to exhibit high-risk sexual behaviour. An American study found
that obese women were four times likelier to have unplanned pregnancies
because they’re less likely to be prepared for intercourse. They are
also less likely to use oral or other forms of contraceptives. A French
study found a similar situation among obese men despite having lesser
sexual partners.
FEWER SEX POSITION POSSIBLE
Sadly, the sheer logistics of sex can change when one or both partners
are fat and can make coitus in some positions particularly hard. The
popular missionary position is out-of-bounds if the male partner is too
heavy. And if both partners are obese, then the central abdominal area
can prevent proper penetration. The rear entry style which is more
popular among the obese can also cause problems because the woman
usually has to spend a long amount of time on her knees. Spooning, a sex
position where partners lie side by side is also hard for fat people.
However, fat people shouldn’t fret and there are multitudes of positions
that they can try with their partners. Here’s a great article I came
across about modified sex positions.
LESS LIKELY TO HAVE SEX
Let’s face it – we live in a society that judges us by our looks and
obese people are always going to find it harder looking for a partner.
The problem is even graver in a country like ours where it is okay for a
man to be obese if he has a high-paying job or is from a rich family
whereas it is almost impossible to find a groom for a ‘fat girl’.
LOW SELF-ESTEEM DEPRESSION AND OTHER CONDITIONS
We live in a society where obese people are routinely made fun of and
termed as ‘lazy’, ‘stupid’, ‘dumb’ or ‘slow’. This kind of segregation
starts when a person is very young and obesity becomes the defining
characteristic of an individual irrespective of her other qualities.
This labelling sticks for life and anyone who has faced childhood
obesity is likely to develop very low self-esteem. This promotes a
negative body image which makes obese people uncomfortable in their
skins. How can you be comfortable having sex, if all your life you’ve
been told you’re ugly? Also various studies have shown obese people are
far likelier to suffer from depression and other mental health problems
which reduce libido and are likely to cause sexual dysfunction.
LACK OF STAMINA
Obesity is often associated with laziness and a sedentary lifestyle. And
this may often percolate into their sex lives as well. In men, it will
also significantly decrease the time they can maintain an erection.
To sum it up, I don’t want to seem harsh pointing out how being fat or
obese can harm your sex life. I was grossly obese myself and still
continue to face multiple body image issues. But the fact remains that
you can improve your sex life by simply losing a few pounds. And this
will not only benefit your sex life but your overall health and
well-being as well. What you’ve to realise is that the entire situation
is in your own hand; you’re in control of your weight and you can choose
to lose it whenever your heart desires.

ReplyDeleteI am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome.
