Hornyness & Bodybuilding

[musclerose]

All you female bodybuilders out there...I have a question that you may be able to answer. Hornyness and bodybuilding...is this common? Personally, I am like a man when it comes to being horny and having insatiable desires to exert my power in ways other than pumping iron. I find that the more I lift, the hornier I become and the heavier I lift, the more intense the feeling seems to get. I was never this way before I started training, and I was also never this way until I started bodybuilding. I am usually very focused in the gym, but sometimes, all I can think about is releasing my power. I told you, I am like a guy in this area but I want to know if I'm alone. I have been lifting weights for years but even then, this urge was never there. Is this something that goes with the territory when you bodybuild? I hear that if you are on roids, it is very common but what if you are not? Guys normally love this topic, well...because they're guys, but I never hear women talk about wanting sex all the time because of their building muscle, so I thought I'd throw the topic out there to see if I have a sisterhood in this area. I don't know any women personally who train as hard and as heavy as I do, so if you're out there, I would like to know your thoughts. Also, guys, if you are reading, feel free to jump in, I don't mind.

I was never this way before I started training, and I was also never this way until I started bodybuilding. There are even times when I'm in the gym training, and a certain lift gets me wet, or watching a muscular man lift and hearing his moan drives me wild; then the fantasies start.

First of all: GOOD GOD.... (nobody flame... she knows shes a good God type of woman and she likes it)

Second: If your on roids, and I will not believe for one second that you are not, your gonna be horny. It makes hormones jet through the roof. I think someone is just feeling frisky and wants to talk to some other frisky dingos

[musclerose]

Well, sorry guy, I hate to tell you, you are DEAD WRONG. No steroids here, but I do thank you for the compliment. It's all natural baby. Second, it's nothing to do with feeling as you say "frisky", I'm a little too old for "frisky". I would really like some intelligent comments, please. But thanks for feeling the need to respond.

BambiFox needs to get in here for this one.

As for intelligent comments, weight lifting boosts libido. There... no brainer.

Hahahaha your poor hubby? That sounds like a horrible setting. I can picture it now. You: Come on honey gimme some.... Him: erggg, not right now hun Im just not feeling it tonight, plus Im tired. You: [Smack!] (You smack him on the chest and frown and climb on top of him)

This all ends with him laying there while you take advantage and get yours, then he feels like a woman, and you feel incredible, thus turning you into another woman who wants to dominate guys. Its ok, we all do it

Here's an odd one for you, since I've been lifting it has seemed to make my husband hornier. Can anyone explain this phenomenon. lol ;-)

[musclerose]

LOL, well, I can answer that one. There are a lot of men who are turned on by muscle on a woman, so that could very well be the reason. Just keep lifting, and watch his interest grow even more, lol.

Absolutely second that notion! btw musclerose, im from 334 and now living in 251... not a lot of bama ppl on the forums.

EDIT: nvm I know your area. You know the guys of Better Fitness Nutrition Center up there? The dudes that use to run Powerhouse run a group of gyms in 334 now.

Most women become more sexual in their late 30's to 40's. We're more settled, more confident in ourselves and become more comfortable in our own skin. So you've pretty much hit your sexual prime/peak so to say...

Not sure if bodybuilding really has anything to do with it.

It takes you guys half a lifetime to realize your hot?

LOL I guess so. Usually our careers are set, we have out kids, we have our house, routines are in motion, etc...more time to focus on sex...works for me...

Thanks a lot Kimm

I prefer to think it's the bodybuilding not that I'm getting old

I get better with age, it's just a number.

Lifting and cardio release all sorts of good hormones to include testosterone (in females too), seratonin (feel good hormone), and another one that helps with either pain or muscle recovery (bare with me I'm carb depleted ATM). The testosterone will up your libido no matter what sex you are. The seratonin makes you feel good. Then on top of that your in shape and feeling sexy! Plus what kimm said about being in your 30's and 40's is the sexual prime for females, your testosterone levels go up also I think and also your estrogen levels are lower in comparison to when you may have been younger. In guys its 16-25 for their prime I think. Since I've started in competition mode my libido has definitely went through the roof so you are not the only one. For the poster that said her husband was more horny that may have something to do with pheromes or your new bod has him all hot and bothered

I'm with her.... it has definitely gone through the roof for me..

[musclerose]

Hi, I am thankful for everyone's response; however, your response is actually what I waa looking for. I had been told by a friend of mine who is "male" almost the exact same thing. But you know, it's different coming from a woman because we are such similar creatures, whether we are willing to admit it or not. Thanks again for your response and much success to you in your competition.

yah, have to say it's increased, but i've always been a horndog, looking hotter does not help.

[Byakuya]

damn....




.....I seriously need to get my wife into bodybuilding

[PaulG]

Are you looking into the mirror when lifting? Thats probably it...

Can you feel the heat coming off of SeaBreeze?

I think she deserves the benefit of the doubt...

Lifting heavy and working out regularly will increase testosterone. Scientific research and
findings back this up.

[BigTimexXx]

If you're pushing any kind of weight that is worth talking about, then yes, your testosterone levels may fluctuate and rise temporarily over time.

And some of of what most people feel when they refer to this is part placebo. But either way, there is no worries - nothing you're feeling is out of the ordinary.

I told you, I am like a guy in this area but I want to know if I'm alone.

You're like any other human being (and bonobos, dolphins, and chimps) on this planet regardless of what sexual organs you have. You're not some strange alien and you like and desire sexual interaction. It's part of life.

Yep, same here. Always been an "in the mood" kinda girl, but since I began eating clean and lifting hard, I'm always ready to go! LOL! I think gym sex would be
THE B E S T !
