M O S T C E N S O R E D - - - - - - - - EMMAUS, Pa., July 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Everyone knows that cycling keeps you fit and healthy, but can it improve your sex life? According to the August issue of BICYCLING magazine, new research indicates that despite the concerns about impotence, the average cyclist may actually enhance sexual performance with cycling. The article, authored by contributor Joe Kita, a senior writer for Men's Health magazine, says cycling may make you more attractive to the opposite sex. Kita notes that while even BICYCLING has warned of the dangers of excessive cycling as a possible link to impotence, the average cyclist has little to fear if they use common sense. "Will biking cause impotence for the average cyclist? Does that risk outweigh the sport's cardiovascular benefits?" asks Harin Padma-Nathan, M.D., clinical professor of urology at the University of California School of Medicine. "The answer is no on both counts." So what are the sexual benefits of regular bike riding? -- GREATER BLOOD CIRCULATION: One key to sexual health is blood flow to men's and women's sexual organs. Cycling helps build the cardiovascular system, which improves blood flow throughout the body and especially to the penis. -- HEIGHTENED SEX DRIVE: University of California at San Diego researchers found that men who followed a regular exercise program reported a 30% increase in frequency of sex with their partners and experienced 30% more orgasms. They also fantasized more about sex, kissed and caressed their partners more. -- INCREASED SEXUAL ENDURANCE: Because cycling improves your cardiovascular conditioning, cyclists don't tire as quickly during lovemaking. -- STRONGER SEX MUSCLES: Cycling improves your legs, buttocks, and lower- back muscles, all key muscles used during intercourse. -- BIGGER SEX ORGANS: Cycling can reduce fat that builds up around the base of a man's penis. In essence, since this fat reduces penis size, cycling can make the penis look as large as possible. -- SEXUAL APPEAL: A recent survey by Men's Health magazine revealed that women find a man's rear-end and legs the sexiest parts of his body. Cycling helps tone and strengthen these parts, increasing a man's physical appeal. -- MORE ENDORPHINS: Regular exercise increases the body's release of endorphins, which creates a feeling of heightened well being. This release of endorphins has been shown to increase sexual arousal or even orgasm in women. SOURCE BICYCLING
