View Full Version : Aroused after a workout?
Pultost
December 16th, 2018, 01:46 PM
So, I happen to love a good workout, I do it at least 2-3 times a week. What puzzles me, though, is that lately, a couple of times, when I've really given it all, and become totally pumped, I also feel kinda aroused, although I haven't been thinking about anything sexual. It goes away quickly, though, and it's not something that happens often, but it happens now and then, and it really makes no sense.
Have anyone else experienced this, or do I need to get my head examined? xD

Bodies respond differently to workout. Som get euphoric, some horny and some has a third reaction and maybe a fourth not so good one. It just depends. Luckily your body awards you with a great feeling :-)

I suppose I'm lucky, yeah. I've know a couple who feel physically ill after a workout, so I'm glad that doesn't happen to me. :)

When I'm playing sports or at the gym having a really tough workout I just get sweaty and tired so no, I don't get aroused at all...I just want to get home and get a shower. When I see really fit guys playing sports or working out, I get a little excited :)

I think it’s due to endorphins and other hormones from working out hard and also feeling good you’re making your body look sexier

Yeah, to put it this way, you don't need porn when you can watch guys work out or play sports. ;)

That could be, and I'm not complaining. I'm just glad it doesn't go overboard, that would be very awkward. :)

That's your body releasing endorphins...which are basically the same thing released when you have an orgasm.

Could be. Although I don't consider myself a gym junkie, I do crave a good workout a few times a week, and my sex drive is definitely high. xD

I almost always feel turned on after a run, since sexual thoughts tend to pop up while I do, unlike when I work out in other ways.

Physical excersize can increase the urge for sex, because if you exercise, certain physiological parameters change. It can increase hormone levels and such an increase stimulates your libido. Also, the level of a number of neurotransmitters is stimulated, such as endorphins, adrenaline, dopamine and oxytocin. This can all lead to a feeling of excitement.
Also movement ensures better blood flow, including that to the genitals. For females this can lead to a greater sensitivity of your clitoris.
So yes, workouts are good for your physical health and can be pleasant at the same time :-)

All those things get me super excited as well. I run as practice for the track team, and do a ton of outdoor work that would normally be done by boys or men. The most amazing thing is that going shooting with anyone, or even shooting by myself out in the woods, gets me totally wanting something else. :)

I can definitely be turned on after a workout! There's the initial tiredness and then a rush of energy and yes, a bit of horniness :)
I've *noticed* it happens to males in my family too. I think it's just person to person

Research says that it definitely happens more to males than females, especially after power/muscle training, as it increases the production of the sex hormone testosterone, of which women also have a small amount of.
And such an increase stimulates the libido.

I get aroused from the workout in general, not just one particular exercise, but I've heard about what leg lifts can do, I've even read somewhere that some women even had an orgasm from those lifts. I always take what I read with a pinch of salt, but who knows? :)

It happens to me too after a dance practice, it might be us sweating and huffing and puffing and all the streching in our danskins pressing on our sensitive areas!
After, getting in the shower or tub, makes my face turn red even more and get romantic thoughts and ideas on what to do about it...

I've had a similar experience from doing ballet.
I've also found on occasion that yoga can get me going.
Although 9/10 times i just feel the thrill & tiredness from exercising.

I get this too. I think it's got something to do with getting our blood pressure all worked up, plus all the chemicals our brains release when we exercise, dopamine and what not. All that amplified by being a teenager experiencing the hormones that puberty brings.
And depending on what exercises you're doing, sometimes, in tight active wear, certain body parts get unintentionally rubbed up against... I know I'm not the only one here who had that embarrassing moment with the climbing rope in gym, right?
