Sex, Food, and Rock-n-Roll!

Yesterday, I introduced the idea here of comparing the act of eating with the act of sex. It's easy to compare eating to sex. Both acts produce very strong endorphin releases in our brains; that chemical (among others) that leads to a state of pure extasy, no matter how short lived. Both are pleasurable endeavors that lead to extremely positive results. And both can lead you to stray out of your commitments to yourself and your loved ones to live up to some standard of self-discipline when it comes to preventing disease.

But the most important relationship between food consumption and sex is not how each one resembles the other independently. Rather, it is how one affects the other when abused. I am talking particularly about how the consumption of excessive amounts of food, or the wrong kinds of foods, can lead to a diminished level of sexual pleasure. That's right, the more you indulge in your favorite foods without a care in the world, the more you attract those extra pounds onto you instead of attracting your mate. This is predominantly because, more than likely, as is with everything you do, obesity slows your sexual drive a whole lot. You literally become a lazy fuck.

If you have ever been obese, think about how that excess weight affects your pace when you walk, or when you engage in any physically taxing activity. You become agitated easily and need breaks often. So you often sit down or lean on things because your frame can't sustain all that girth in motion for too long.

The same thing occurs on those nights of romance with your significant other. You might be able to get exited about the hot action that is about to ensue, but a few minutes pumping away at it will leave you breathless and ready to lean back and take a breather. Not only that, but since your body has only finite amounts of blood circulating through you, when you become agitated, that blood is redirected to the other organs which are starving for it, since you've taken on a huge task of performing such an arduously athletic activity without being physically apt for the challenge. Of course, this affects primarily guys, since we all know that good erections depend principally upon a proper supply of blood to "that" region.

But, ladies, you are not off the hook, either. Obesity in women can make you feel less attractive to both yourself and your mate, therefore experience a lower sex drive. But not only that. In an article titled, "Obesity and Sex Drive," on the website tree.com, it is stated that:

"Excess body fat results in higher than normal levels of a hormone called sex hormone binding globulin, which binds to testosterone in both men and women, influencing the sex drive in both."

Read the article here: http://www.tree.com/health/obesity-effects-sex.aspx

This hormone "inhibits the function of [sex] hormones," according to Wikipedia. Once your sex hormones are thrown off balance, forget-about-it. Might as well just sit there and cuddle.

Speaking on a more personal level. When I was obese, I secretly always wanted to be taking it easy when getting it on. So I would maneuver around until I was the one relaxing while my partner did all the work. It's embarrassing, yes. But it is also true. You want to have a great sex life? Get a good grip on your eating habits. Become more active. As soon as you lose a few pounds, you will not only look good and feel healthy, but you will also feel more sexy or attractive (women and men respectively) and have greater energy to take on your mate on that horizontal dance of old.

Go on, take me up on that challenge to lose those two to three pounds in a week, and you'll see how you'll be feeling like you're too seeexy for this blog, 'cuz you'll be busy kneading your mate's pizza dough all day long in bed. Happy spanking.


*UPDATE

Today I only had one meal because I went to the dentist and experienced the most gruesome pain in my life to date. I'm just not hungry or looking forward to eating anything else other than maybe fruit and water.

My one meal consisted of a chicken leg quarter, two eggs, four cheese sticks, 12 mini carrots (sauteed), three Serrano peppers, a single-serving size bag of pork rinds with a half avocado, and about 30 oz. of diet green tea.


I have been very active these days. Today included a trip on foot across an international bridge into Mexico. That was fun. But the pain afterwards was excruciating. People, take care of your teeth. That's all I have to say. You don't want none of this pain.
