Men who exercise strenuously may have a lower libido than those whose workouts are lighter, according to one of the first studies to scientifically delve into the relationship between mens workouts and their sex lives.
For years, scientists and active people have debated whether and how exercise affects sexual desire and human reproduction.
But most past studies have centered on women.
Typically, this research has found that when some female athletes, such as marathon runners, train intensely for many hours a week, they can develop menstrual dysfunctions. These problems seem caused by hormonal imbalances occuring because of physical stress and frequently affect a womans interest in sex and her ability to conceive.
