Obese People Have Less Satisfying Sex Lives: Study

Overweight women seem to be affected more than men, researchers add

-- Robert Preidt

TUESDAY, May 3 (HealthDay News) -- Obesity may lower levels of sexual satisfaction, especially for women, a new study shows.

Duke University researchers studied 91 obese men and 134 obese women who completed a sexual functioning questionnaire before enrolling in a weight loss study. The questionnaire covered nine areas: interest, desire, arousal, ****** satisfaction, behavior, relationship, masturbation and sexual problems.

"We found that there was lower sexual satisfaction and lower sexual quality of life among women than men, and overall sexual quality of life was low among both groups," Dr. Truls Ostbye, a professor in the department of community and family medicine, said in a Duke news release.

The researchers also compared the obese patients' scores to the results from a group of cancer survivors and a general population group. Obese women's scores were lower than both those groups' scores, while obese men's scores were between the scores of the cancer survivors and the general population group.

"Our findings contribute to a growing body of research that indicates obesity is associated with reduced sexual functioning and sexual quality of life among both men and women," Ostbye said.

Doctors should be aware of this issue and invite obese patients to talk about it, the researchers said.

"Obese patients welcome the opportunity to discuss the effects of their weight on quality of life, including sexual quality of life," said study co-author and clinical psychologist Ronette L. Kolotkin. "Because so many obese individuals experience discrimination and prejudice, they appreciate providers who create a warm, supportive environment in which to discuss these sensitive issues."

The study appears in the May/June issue of the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy.

Maybe you found it "stimulating"....cause you're not obese any more....LOL!

 I dunno, sex has always been amazing… At any size! I can say I cant contort myself into more exciting positions now… and that up against the wall sex is just as good as i remember!!!!!

better positions, more stamina, better outfits..whats not to enjoy?

Yay for healthy, consenting adults!

OMG if ppls sex drive gets better after surgery (weight lose) then **** I dont know what Im gonna do. My sex drive now is sky rocket. I jus wish I got it more. lol I haven't even had surgery yet. I go to get sleeved 2morrow morning @ 5am. Im gonna be like a crazy cat in heat if they say it gets better when we loose weight. That scares me. lol


KIsha

No complaints here!

 Ehhhhhh, I don't know about these types of studies. There's lot's that contribute to unsatisfactory sex lives for us fatties like the fact that everywhere we look media is telling us we're not sexually appealing. I'd like them to do the study again with confident, fat people like myself who have no problem with sex (with themselves or others)! 

Sorry Guys - I am going to be shallow and honest. Sex Sucks for me and my wife. My obesity has caused my testosterone levels to be next to nothing. (seeking treatment for that). My back hurts after the act. In my head I feel like one of those blubber walrusses you see mating on the ice at the discovery channel. My wife is obese and visually that does not add to the visual turn on for me not to mention the limited sex positions because of our weight.

I love my wife, and luckily our relationship is not based on sex, but right now sex sucks

Sorry for my honesty!

No shame in honesty, brother.

Never have had a sex-drive issue, but flexibility & confidence issues(I mean, some days I couldn't even make eye contact with my hand.... ha ha ha) were there... but I didn't let it stop me.  Sex is much better now though.  Yay for sex!

"Bad sex."  Sorry, that's a concept I can't get my head around, so to speak.....
