Better sex for men who lose weight naturally: studies

Wednesday • September 6, 2006

Men who lose weight without resorting to drugs will find their sexual performance also improves, an Australian researcher has said, citing new research.

Professor Gary Wittert of the University of Adelaide outlined research Wednesday he said confirmed a direct link between non-pharmaceutical weight-loss and the rapid improvement in sexual and lower urinary tract problems.

"Our research found that diet-induced, rather than drug-induced, weight loss led to rapid similtaneous improvements in cardiac and vascular function as well as sexual function and lower urinary tract symptoms," he told the 10th International Congress on Obesity in Sydney.

Studies conducted by the Royal Adelaide Hospital and the University of Adelaide drew a direct correlation between medically supervised weight-loss using a "very low calorie diet" and the reversal of symptoms in men such as erectile dysfunction and low sexual libido, he said.

Very low calorie diets are often used in clinical settings for people whose health is immediately compromised by their weight and who need to lose it quickly, such as before an operation, Wittert explained.

"Whilst the men in the study were not on any medication, thousands of Australians that are overweight or obese currently require substantial medications at huge cost to both the health system and the individual," he said. — AFP

Just about anything which can produce a placebo effect can also allow one to preceive their sexual performance as having improved :-)
