Understanding the Effects of Exercise on Sexual Function in Women
Exercise has been shown to positively impact sexual function in women. Regular physical activity contributes to enhanced sexual satisfaction indirectly by preserving autonomic flexibility, benefiting cardiovascular health and mood.
Studies suggest that exercise, particularly before sexual activity, can significantly improve sexual desire and overall sexual function, particularly in women with baseline sexual dysfunction.
Additionally, exercising has broader effects on body image, psychological well-being, and libido, contributing to an increase in sexual well-being.
