After all, we can abaondon life&#8217;s responsiblitie just to get freaky, but we also can let stress ruin our fun times. One huge factor is linked to weight. Here&#8217;s what happens when the pound pile on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:23px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#d70072\"><b>ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Erections and orgasms rely on blood flow. However, when plaque builds up in your blood vessels, it makes it all the more difficult to get it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#d70072\"><b>FEMALE DRYNESS<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blood circulation affects arousal in women too. Without it, the genital area has issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#d70072\"><b>HORMONE LEVELS<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With increased weight, come increased levels of Sex Hormone Binding Globulin&#8221; (SHBG). It\u2019s a chemical that literally attaches to testosterone and therefore decreased your desire to get busy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#d70072\"><b>PENIS SHRINKAGE<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, your penis doesn\u2019t actually get <i>smaller<\/i>, but this area is not exempt from weight gain. The extra fat will pad out your mound and take away length. So, when you lose some pounds, things can look bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#d70072\"><b>NEGATIVE MOOD<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-esteem can take a huge hit. This can lead to a slew of emotional issues that can keep you away from pleasure. Also, depression is one of the biggest libido killers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#d70072\"><b>DIFFICULTY BREATHING<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve seen this one first hand. Significant pounds can sap away your energy and ability to perform for anything but a short stint \u2013 even then, you could end up wheezing and needing a break before you\u2019re even done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#d70072\"><b>ADDITIONAL HEALTH ISSUES<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s basically a line of dominos. One health issue is linked to others. So, when you step into obesity, you\u2019re getting a mountain of other health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#d70072\"><b>MEDICATIONS<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s always a Catch-22. You need the meds to take care of some health problems, but they can also affect your sex drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:23px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background\">Have you had any experiences you want to share?
