Embarrasing but serious ?? for the guys.

parko03 Posts: 156 Joined: 2004/01/28	2004/03/26, 07:49 AM So guys, I know its gonna be hard not to giggle but I am curious about this from a guys point of view. My husband Has been on a losing weight streak. He has lost almost 50 pounds and has more to lose. Meanwhile, I have noticed that all of a sudden he is wanting more sex. Oh! Trust me I am NOT complaining, as I've always been the one to want more. But I mean every other day. Now, I know that he is probably feeling better about himself so his inhibitions are down, BUT its more. I mean more.....active....., trying new things....,and all in a GOOD way.....,not to mention he seems to be "lasting" longer... Now have any of you experienced this? We have always been an "active" couple even after 10 years of marriage, but Im loving this. I just wonder if it is because of his weight loss or maybe something else. Im of course feeling extremely sexy because of it and the way Im looking after losing weight and working out. OR, could it be me turning him on more?? Ive been dying to ask this for a few weeks now, but didn't know how. But after last night, I have got to know, is it me or him?? :)And don't worry you cannot offend me so please speak freely. Im just wondering from a guys point of view. Now that Im completely embarrased... here goes...(clicks post!) -------------- It is no fun to be normal!!!

The fact that you're shaping up is obviously a turn on for him, likewise his health will have put the spark back in his libido. From my experience as I've become healthier and happier I found myself feeling more sexual than before, back to my teen dyas type desires. Something else that has returned after lsoing weight is the infamous morning glory! No I'm no shrink so I really cannot account for his sexual experimentation, but suspect that is a consequence of renewed self esteem and confidence. Whatever...its sounds like you guys are in for a load of fun. Enjoy the ride.

Mostly before that I would eat till I was stuffed and just did not feel like going though the motions, or I was just so tired all the time that by the time I got to bed all I want to do is sleep. This also says nothing of my self image at the time, I just did not feel like an object of affection. I know this might sound funny, but I think guys like to feel sexy (might not be the right word) just as much as woman. I was a man that was 5'8 and 232, round was the word that described me not attractive. Even though me fiance that me that she would love me if I was 400 lbs, which I know she would, that did not help me feel better about myself. Once they weight started dropping the more I felt good about myself. just my 2 cents, Dale

My advice would be not to wonder so much "why" this is happening, but rather just enjoy it. Its fine to be curious as to why this is happening and you pretty much got all the answers from us, so go and enjoy!:big_smile: -------------- Baseball is wrong: Man with four balls cannot walk.
