BellaOnline Forums Health and Fitness Weight Loss obesity and sexual desire

Obese men are equally interested in sex as normal men but they fail to perform in bed due to their unmanageable weight. Lack of sexual performance endangers their personal relationship. Due to the poor sexual performance throughout, their partners might avoid them. And this could lead to reduced sexual desires.

Many overweight men are also on blood pressure medications to keep their BP down - this is another reason that they may have trouble functioning.

Also, just like us women that are overwieght, some men are selfconcious about the way the look i would imagine.

There are some things that do not differ that much between the sexes.

[/quote] I can agree with you on this- to me it is the health concerns that would be the red flag and that the functioning issues could be just the tip of the iceberg for other health problems. As far as I am concerned, your man can be over weight but the way you choose to respond to it, treat him and make him feel will also made a HUGE difference and impact as well. Self confidence plays a huge role and that is also something that should be considered too. My sweetheart is a big man and I wouldn't want him any other way. I am concerned about his BP and he knows this, but otherwise I am always assuring him of my feelings and attraction to him. If there are serious problems or ongoing, then maybe consulting a Doctor would be in order - even if it is for preventive health issues and gracefully discuss the other issues. Best of luck to you.

Heart disease and Diabetes are at the center of this sexual "dysfunction". Teach the younger men in your life to eat better so that they can avoid this demeaning situation.

ED or loss of sexual interest in many cases is just a symptom of another medical issue at hand and should be consulted with a Doctor.

With all the Viagra and other such pills out there I think many people forget the the biggest sexual organ is the human mind and its imagination.

Great point Craig. I also think people forget that food is as powerful a drug as synthetic drugs and eating the right things can have a huge impact on your sex drive and obviously your weight.

I know the one thing many people notice when they start eating right, exercising consistently, and getting sleep is a massive hormonal shift and big libido boost.

Then when the body becomes leaner a boost in self esteem increases it even further!!

my boyfriend is also a large guy! i love him, yet when i met him he wasnt large at all he was regular size, now after 4 years he has almost doubled his weight! and i worry about him alot. yet i probably dont state it well. i have also gained weight since meeting him! not near as much as him but i dont like how i look, and am not happy with his weight either!

Obesity is a medical condition in which body fat has accumulated to the extent it can lead to adverse effect on health that can be reduced the life expectancy or increase the health problems. erectile dysfunction (ED) is closely linked to cardiovascular disease.

It also makes a guy's junk (sorry I like that word better than most other slang words) look smaller than it is. That alone should be enough of a reason for dudes to start exercising and eating healthy to get to a healthy weight.

I have two guy clients who started working out just so they could see it again, lol!
