7 Exercises Men Should Do For A Better Sex Life

Aerobic exercise (fast walking, jogging, running) has been shown to significantly improve a man’s sexual function. A recent study that looked at both white and black men found that highly active men, regardless of race, had better erectile and sexual functioning than their less active peers.

Basic push-ups and sit-ups strengthen the muscles that you use during intercourse — the shoulders, abdominals, and chest.

As you age, you need to train hard and fast for more performance benefits. You also want an exercise program that gives you the maximum health benefits in a short period of time.

HIIT is a form of exercise that relies on fast, all-out effort, for short periods followed by a complete recovery phase between sets. For example, doing sprints, rowing, or burpees flat out for 45 seconds followed by one minute of rest – repeated 8 to 10 times.

Kegels are a sexercise you can do just about anywhere, anytime — without breaking a sweat, and without anyone actually knowing you are doing them. Kegels are usually thought of as an exercise for just women, but they are equally beneficial for men’s sexual health.

If you have ever consciously stopped your flow of urine for several seconds when going to the bathroom, then you have exercised your pubococcygeus (PC) muscles. I've found that practicing this squeezing action several times a day (hold the squeeze for 10 seconds, relax, and repeat 8 or more times), can strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, which in turn can help you delay ejaculation, have better control over your orgasm, and experience better sex.

I've found that certain stretches like “pelvic stretching” can enhance your orgasms and keep you flexible and injury-free while having sex.

Yoga strengthens your pelvic muscles and increases your sexual flexibility and energy. Poses such as the elbow balance, shoulder stand, and bow pose can enhance your pelvic muscles, while triangle pose, pigeon, and standing forward bend can improve flexibility.

One of the more recently published studies of the impact of yoga on male sexual function involved 65 men ages 24 to 60. After 12 weeks of yoga sessions, “male sexual quotient” scores significantly improved in the areas of orgasm, ejaculatory control, erection, confidence, intercourse satisfaction, sexual desire, and performance. Basically what that means is that all these guys doing yoga in the test had better sex because of their yoga practice.

Great sex has many components — physical, emotional, nutritional, and psychological. Exercise is the best way to maintain your physical health, which also goes a long way toward having better sex and stronger erectile function for men.
