For some lovin'.......then get out and get fit:


RealAge tip-


All About YOU: On the Move and In the Mood


Is something slowing down your sex life?

One episode of sex lasting 20 to 30 minutes can burn 300 calories -- the equivalent of running 3 miles. But the usual episode of 2 to 6 minutes uses only 25 calories (a quarter of a mile). If you cannot walk up and down two flights of stairs without stopping, it's a sign that you've got a problem that most likely will affect your sex life. Get fitter -- and friskier -- with fast walks, daily swims, and other on-the-move activities.


Maintaining the health of your sex organs not only ensures longevity but also supports a rich and fulfilling life. Above all, the most important thing you can do is follow the RealAge guidelines for decreasing arterial aging: Exercise regularly, eat a heart-healthy diet, and reduce stress. That will ensure a clear and well-flowing vascular system that promotes blood circulation to every part of your body -- including your love muscles. In fact, maintaining good blood flow is one of the best ways to make sure erectile dysfunction isn't inevitable as you age.

Just a few simple changes may be all that's needed to keep your sex organs in tip-top condition.

Darnit. So THAT's why I'm not getting any. ROTFL.


But I think the article makes a good point, and it's not just about the physical side of things, but when you exercise you just feel more confident, which makes for a more {ahem} fulfilling love-life!

LOL! So true huh? I think when you're in better shape you have more energy and feel more confident. Especially if you have small kids, not having overall energy can put things like romance on the backburner unfortunately. I don't think some people realize if they have to go on some hypertension medications that it can lead to erectile dysfunction as a side effect of the medication. Diabetes can lead to that too. I guess it's all interconnected.
