EFFECT OF OVERWEIGHT

 ON SEXUAL PERFOMANCE

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.

1. 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.  Here’s a complete list of

 medicines that can affect your sexual life.
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.
