Need a little motivation to get off the couch and put down the pastries?  A study in Med Page Today found that increased libido was one of the benefits of weight loss.   I’m always looking for reasons to stay in shape and ways to make people’s sex lives better so I was pretty excited when I came across this article.

The eggplant vibrator just seemed appropriate here.

“Sexual function improved significantly and quickly in obese men with type 2 diabetes after weight loss with reduced-calorie diets, results of a small Australian clinical study showed.

Erectile function, sexual desire, and urinary symptoms all improved significantly in 31 men who lost 5% to 10% of their body weight in eight weeks.”

If you’d like to live a healthier life style, but just can’t get going, you may want to keep these positive sexual side effects in your back pocket.  Knowing that you’ll want to do it and have a better time doing it if you lose a few pounds may be just the kick in the ass you need.  I’m not suggesting anyone go to extremes here, but there’s nothing wrong with showing the old ticker a little love.

This study was aimed at men (particularly those with diabetes) and it is indeed true that the whole weight loss thing being linked to better sex mostly pertains to men.  Sorry, Ladies.  That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t maintain healthy life style.  I know the better I feel, the more inclined I am to get down and dirty!

I was checking out one of my favorite blogs, Dangerous Minds, and came across this little gem.  I love clever ways to promote safe sex and this is definitely one of them.  The video below is an animated version of a poster that the French AIDES organization uses to promote safe sex.  They have another funny video on their website that I recommend checking out, but you have to go to their site to see it.

I’m a little behind pop culture news with all protesting going on in the world right now, but I was pretty psyched to see this clip of Cameron Diaz talking about porn!

We couldn’t agree more, Cameron!
