| SEXUALITY |
SEXUALITY : sexual desire, sexual pleasure, sensual gratification, sexual fulfillment, or eros, but can more broadly mean desire, wish, passion, longing, pleasure of the senses, the aesthetic enjoyment of life, affection, or love, without sexual connotations.
Obesity has a huge range of physical effects. Those that suffer from obesity have an increased chance of developing other serious diseases, have less energy, and suffer from depression and low self esteem. They also tend to have problems in the bedroom.
When a person is obese, their sex life suffers. A report presented at a meeting of The North American Association for the Study of Obesity by Martin Binks, PhD, from Duke University Medical Center, shows that obese Americans are 25 times more likely than those of normal weight to report problems with their sex lives. It's a dramatic difference.
The physical effects of obesity can also lead to performance anxiety, making partners unwilling to attempt to perform sexually. In a study of 928 obese men and women, of those seeking treatment for their obesity 50% had a decreased sex drive and trouble wanting sex, 42% felt they had problems performing sexually, and 41% said they avoided sex altogether.
A number of studies have shown that it damages the quality of sexuality in a variety of ways, both for men and women. Including Impotence(ED).
These results have been confirmed by a number of researchers. At Duke University Medical Center (USA), for example, it has been found that obese persons suffer from lack of desire and pleasure, the tendency to avoid sexual activity and low performance. Statistics also tell us that these problems can be up to 25 times worse than for persons of normal weight.
Obese individuals have been expected to be less sexually interested, attractive, and capable of developing a satisfying romantic relationship than persons of normal weight. Changes in sexual interest and rate of sexual activity have been described coinciding with weight change. A decrease in sexual activity and sexual satisfaction has been reported during periods of weight gain and an increase during weight loss. Obesity, like sexuality, has been recognized to have a homeostatic function in relations. If, after weight reduction, a formerly obese partner in a relation becomes more sexually active, the homeostasis is disturbed, and problems might appear.
ED (or impotence) in men refers to the inability to get or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse, and this may be associated with a loss of libido.
ED is often a symptom or consequence of some other problem. It was once thought that ed was mainly caused by psychological factors, such as anxiety or depression, but most cases actually have a physical cause.
While occasional erectile dysfunction is normal, ongoing impotence can be a symptom of a serious physical illness, such as blood vessel disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure. These particular problems also affect the heart and the blood vessels that supply the heart.
