The strength of fat people's sexual function

Nowadays, obesity has become a very serious disease that threatens the health of modern people. With the improvement of modern living standards, more and more people are heading towards obesity. Obesity has a huge impact on daily life. Some people say that fat people generally don’t have good sexual function, but many people also say that fatness or thinness has little to do with sexual function. Today we will answer the question: is obesity really related to sexual function?

Obesity and sex are closely related. The sexual function of many obese men will be affected to varying degrees.

The penis becomes shorter

Jiang Bo told reporters that the length of an obese man's erect penis will be relatively shorter. Once, an obese man came to see a doctor and said embarrassedly that his penis looked shorter than before and he was not as comfortable during sexual intercourse as before.

"In fact, the organs of adults have matured and it is impossible for them to become smaller under normal circumstances." Jiang Bo said, but for obese men, as the abdominal wall fat layer thickens, especially the subcutaneous fat around the penis increases, part of the penis will be buried in the abdominal wall fat, making it look like the penis is much smaller than before, but during a normal erection, the penis only appears relatively short because it is partially buried in fat.

However, due to the increase in abdominal wall fat, the length of the penis is still shorter than before. The relatively short penis has a very obvious impact on sexual intercourse.

Fat men are not manly enough

Jiang Bo said that male sexual function includes five stages of sexual activity, namely sexual desire, penile erection, duration of sexual intercourse, orgasm and ejaculation, among which penile erection and duration of sexual intercourse are the most concerned. "Obesity mainly affects men's sexual desire, penile erection and duration of sexual intercourse."

"Obesity can also cause a relative lack of androgen secretion, which will also affect sexual desire and erectile function," said Jiang Bo. Obesity affects male androgen levels and also increases estrogen in the body. Due to excessive fat accumulation in obese men, excessive conversion of androgens into estrogens occurs. Higher estrogen concentrations can inhibit the secretion of pituitary gonadotropin, thereby reducing testosterone secretion by the testicles, causing male libido loss or erectile dysfunction, and even feminine manifestations of men, such as male breast development and reduced body hair.

Due to changes in the level of sex hormones in the body, male sexual function will weaken to varying degrees, which is manifested in a sharp decrease in male masculinity, low sexual function, and unsatisfactory sexual desire, erection, sexual intercourse, ejaculation or orgasm. Sexual dysfunctions such as impotence, premature ejaculation or anejaculation will appear to varying degrees, casting a shadow on the couple's life.

Obesity complications affect the quality of sex

Severely obese men may also have their sex life affected by weight and obesity complications.

Jiang Bo said that a complete sexual intercourse involves a lot of exercise, equivalent to running 800 meters or sprinting 100 meters at an average speed. Because of the burden of their weight, obese men will obviously show signs of physical exhaustion during sexual intercourse, or their cardiopulmonary function cannot sustain normal sexual activities. Therefore, obese men are often "in poor condition" during sexual intercourse, and are unwilling, unable, or end it hastily.

Various complications of obesity, such as high blood pressure and diabetes, can affect sex life. Hypertension aggravates systemic arteriosclerosis, causing ischemia, hypoxia, and functional impairment of important organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys; it forms atherosclerosis, and the penile arteries are very small, so atherosclerosis is very likely to occur and they are easily blocked, seriously affecting penile erection. High blood sugar damages peripheral blood vessels and also causes atherosclerosis, which affects penile erection. The peripheral nerve damage it causes directly damages the pudendal nerve, causing patients to suffer from severe erectile dysfunction. Finally, an enlarged belly also becomes an obstacle during sexual life, which not only affects the appearance but also affects the performance of sexual skills.
