Exercise and sex drive

[Geoff The Phantom Skier]

Have started hitting the weights again recently, and DAMN! my sex drive has gone through the roof! Especially after a workout, all the endorphins and increased testosterone production has been leaving me more toey than a roman sandle.

Uh Huh...

YEP!

:great:

Skiing does it for me, after a good day on the hill I'm always ready to go

Yah that will happen. Just don't go overboard on it though as Schwarzenegger did: I heard him say that a good pump was better than sex.

Whenever I have been in exceptional shape I pretty much walked around with a hard on all day long.

Would explain why theTank hobbies so much.

As for myself...Either it's the psychotropic drugs, or Becky was right and I'm inclined to be asexual, because I sure haven't seen much of an increase. Sure I notice and appreciate the female form now than I did last year. On the other hand, I haven't gotten laid since about Sept. Hell, I don't think I've rubbed one out in the past month.

Then again my work outs are inclined to be intense. Consisting of 3-5 sets and 10-40 reps per set, and rounded off with 20-30 minutes of HIIT cardio. And that doesn't count the run to the gym and back.

Last time I was tested, my testosterone levels were normal....Maybe it just get to the horny switch.

No Dave I suspect that its the drugs. Look to see if that is one of the side effects and if so maybe see if there isn't an alternative.

I'm not working out much these days, but DAMN I'm frisky.

Rubbing out at least 2 a day. Must be all the good tidings....

Cymbalta isn't known as having that issue, but IIRC it's one of it's less common issues. Welbutrin on the other hand is commonly used to counter the libido killing effects found in other antidepressants (read: it makes you horny)

So....
