Significant weight loss=Better sex life?

My sexual appetite has weaned over the last couple of years. Wondering if my size might have something to do with it. Being freshly banded I am wondering if this may be another plus to shedding lbs. I do know I'll be more confident, be able to get into some different positions and possibly gain a little size, which would be awesome! Any other comments or thoughts? :wink:

yep, most definitely, you feel more energetic, you feel happy because you're losing weight so you want to express it in every way possible....plus you start doing exercise and exercise makes you want to have more sex.....so go for it and enjoy!!!:smile2:

I have to be honest, weight loss hasnt had a positive effect for me in that regard, my libido has continued to decline.

Dont get me wrong, I do enjoy sex, but were it up to me, I could easily go months without it. I never feel horny these days, ever. I go to bed at night fairly exhuasted, three kids, full time work in a new career, physically tired from running/exercise etc and I'm also 42, probably premenopausal.

Why are there so many women in the men's forum? Isn't there any place left for us? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I second this motion. lol.

Anyway, mine has gone up and down, but with added exercise, your testosterone level WILL rise. I mean, I have pre-med school stress too, but still. haha.

Lack of libido can be caused by weight related depression, low testosterone or just age. When I was in my 20s and working out 2 hours per day six days per week (and still a bit chubby) I used to beat the breaks off of my girlfriends for hours. We were literally both soaked with sweat like we ran a marathon. Then, I got older and heavier and found I had to keep them on top most of the time. It was good but just not as athletic or intense. Plus, I just wasn't as enthusiastic.

Now, I really don't know if losing weight will return my libido or my stamina to what it once was. I'm sure it will help, but I'm just not sure if anything less than a fountain of youth could restore my former enthusiasm and exuberance. I hope to find out soon.
