A common stereotype is that having sex not only brings great pleasure, but also makes it possible to improve your figure. What is this opinion based on, and how are intimate relationships and weight loss actually related?
Instructions
Step 1
If sex were actually about getting the perfect figure, there would be far fewer overweight people on the street. Many people see intimate relationships as a kind of cardio exercise. In a sense, this opinion is not so far from the truth, because during sex the frequency of contractions of a person's heart muscle increases, and blood circulates faster throughout the body, which provokes an increase in the speed of all metabolic processes and helps burn calories. Another thing is that during one sexual intercourse the average person hardly burns more than 250 kilocalories, which is approximately equal to the energy value of one glazed curd cheese.
Step 2
Thus, at the beginning of a whirlwind romance, when a man and a woman spend whole days in bed and only occasionally go to the kitchen to satisfy their hunger, they can really lose weight by having sex, and even get a little thinner. In addition to this, many people in the period of strong love generally lose their appetite, which necessarily affects the volume of their bodies. Having sex, for example, 3-4 times a week, to lose weight and noticeably improve a person's figure will hardly work.
Step 3
Keep in mind that a beautiful figure is the result of not only a well-developed metabolism, which allows you to spend incoming calories, but also a consequence of a well-developed muscle frame. It is the muscles, on which a person spends some of his time, that allow the skin not to sag, and the fat layer, the presence of which is necessary in some parts of the body, to lie evenly, forming such attractive bulges in the right places.
Step 4
Can you build muscle by having sex? You will hardly be able to increase their volume during lovemaking, but it is quite possible to strengthen them and make them a little more embossed. Resting on his hands in positions where he is on top, the man makes his shoulders stronger and stronger. And in the "woman on top" pose, the fairer sex works on the elasticity and attractiveness of her buttocks and hips. In addition, in many poses, each partner can feel that the muscles of his body are stretching. The more stretched the muscles, the more flexible and graceful a person looks.
Step 5
Finally, when having sex, a huge amount of pleasure hormones are released into the bloodstream, which have a very beneficial effect on the body. They also affect the appearance just wonderfully, making the eyes shine, and the skin - to become smoother and healthier. Under the influence of these hormones, over time, the figure of a person who does not deny himself the joys of sex becomes more harmonious and proportional.
