Over the years I've come to realize that being fit is better than anything for sex, and sexually pleasing your partner. Not wanting to seem like a mindless sex monster with no connection with whoever I am having sex with, I find that being a good physical specimen enhances even the emotional/intellectual experience that rounds out good sex.
So I've begun to focus exercise routines that are aimed specifically for sexual performance. Here is my list and I am hoping to germinate some constructive discussion (and I mean this, as many of you don't have a clue).
In no order of importance:
1) situps (not crunches) - straight and obliques. Cutting down on abdominal fat greatly enhances hardness of erections and the ability to sustain them. A strong core helps with thrusting. I find that obliques should be included with straight situps, and very high repetitions are necessary. As for crunches, sorry but I find those lame - but I know there are physiotherapists out there that evangelize those as some form of public policy for the masses they deem too brainless to know how to handle their own bodies.
2) suspended leg raises - sorry I don't know what these are normally called, but the way it is done is to hold one up at the elbows and raise your legs together into an L shape, bending at the buttocks. For people like me who sit all day at an office, this one is necessary because it engages the lower abdomen with the buttocks better than jogging. I like to hold the legs up in a sustained manner for as long as possible. Again, high repetitions are best.
3) running up hills - I used to mindlessly just jog long distances on relatively flat surfaces, but aside from the cardiovascular benefits I got nothing else out of it. But running up hills builds endurance and quads, and I like to find those places that take me about 15 minutes to do. 2 or 3 reps of those, and I'm wasted.
4) sustained squats - where I hold a weighted barbell at shoulder level and go into a sustained squat, legs at L-shape. I try to hold for as long as possible with weights at about 100 lbs, and that usually turns out to be about 30 seconds each time. That's not a long time, so obviously I need lots of work there. However the main benefit is being able to hold your partner in a standing intercourse position with her facing you as she sits on your lap and her legs straddling your body. I'm not a big person so a lot depends on her weight as well.
5) bench presses - lots of them, high repetitions and low to medium weight. When I say high repetitions, I mean reps of 15-25 per set. I found you have to tolerate other guys sneering at your lightweight antics, so beware. But try to ignore the meat heads with their super high weights and silly low reps (6 or less) and revel in the knowledge that women generally don't find their undefined bloated sausage-like bodies very appealing. They generally prefer muscular and cut, I think. Now where the benefit of bench presses comes in is in holding yourself up for long periods in missionary.
Does anyone have any more ideas?
