HORNY WORKOUT

REASONS YOU’RE HORNY AFTER A WORKOUT

1) how does exercise and a workout lead to higher libido and sex drive? Explain based on the hormones activated during a workout and how someone often feels more aroused and horny (and stimulated/happier/etc) post-workout, in relation to their sex drive and arousal levels.

Exercise can increase your sex hormones, such as prolactin, estrogen, testosterone, and oxytocin. For example, oxytocin is produced when you experience an orgasm, and both men and women get sexual desire through testosterone hormone. Even studies consistently demonstrate that working out raises sexual drive in people, making them horny.

2) which hormones are higher post-workout? endorphins? what else? explain in a small blurb here, then share how they’re similar to arousal. If one of the “reasons” is endorphin boost or hormonal attribution, then specify and list as “causes” as shown in

After workouts, an individual may have increased endorphin levels, which interact with brain receptors that lessen your view about pain. Also, endorphins act similar to morphine, which stimulates a positive emotion. It offers a ‘euphoric’ feeling, for instance, what you feel after a run. It is what people describe as a ‘high’ feeling that makes one psyched about life. This way, you are likely to become horny.

3) please explain what the overlap in sensation is like, as well as the reasoning behind it, due to stimulation/arousal as a cause in general. **I would love about 3 reasons as to why someone might be horny post-workout, with a small blurb for each reason to explain the cause and link and to flesh it out.

Exercise has an impact on your hormones

Exercising, especially the lower body triggers sex hormones, such as testosterone. As a result, blood circulation in the genitals increases, causing high libido. Testosterone increases horniness in men and other hormones, including estrogen, cortisol, and prolactin affects women.

Increase in physiological arousal

Women experience physiological sexual arousal with exercise, according to a 2018 study. Other studies also indicated that 1 out of 12 men and 1 out of 10 women get sexual-induced orgasm at one time in their life, even without any sexual thoughts.

Certain workouts increase sexual drive

Exercises, such as hanging leg raise can make you horny. It involves hanging on something like a bar and lifting the legs towards your chest as you engage the abs. It facilitates boosted blood flow to the pelvic area, possibly leading to arousal.

4) and are any specific kinds of workouts more likely to cause horniness and high libido than others? if so list them and explain briefly why that’s so for each example. (like HIIT? prob right? explain if so!) send answers asap via email

Of course, yes. For example;

Running

Some individuals can get an orgasm after running, but for a long time. If you run before an abs workout, your chances of getting an exercise-induced orgasm increase because it stimulates the sympathetic nervous system that escalates sexual arousal. Another one is the hanging leg raised as mentioned above.
