Millions of women like this phrase: the more you’re happy with your own body, the more you dare to display it. Therefore, achieving your ideal weight not only helps you stay healthy, but also to more fully enjoy your sexuality.

“Body image is essential because it is related to self-esteem,” says the sexologist Yolanda Rodriguez of the University of Vigo. This Spanish specialist carried out a study on perception of the body and sexuality in 325 young women. The conclusion, after extensive interviews , Who was pleased about one’s own body determined by more than 80 percent of the greater or lesser delivery and sexual pleasure for women.

But be careful, the key to a good sex life is not to lose pounds to a dangerous extreme thinness. Experts speak of weight with which a woman is really easy to enjoy under the sheets. “This is feel comfortable to surrender without worrying about hiding parts of the body,” adds Rodriguez.

This basic premise is, as discussed in the First World Conference on Sexuality in April 2007 in Sydney, Australia, and fundamental in relations that began recently.

A national survey conducted in Mexico by Mitofsky Consulting found that women reported better thinner intimate activity, and more opportunity to choose their partners and having sex when they wanted.

Within marriage, things changed a bit. “But we must not rest on our laurels and think that the couple supports bellies and hips increasingly large,” advises Rodriguez. And at this point, an investigation of Duke University was enlightening.

It was monitoring the sex lives of a group of 161 women and 26 men who were obese low diet for two years and concluded that, as they offal pounds, the study participants, both sexes, are books from their prejudices.

“For women was particularly problematic not wish to be seen without clothes and not enjoy sexual activity,” says Martin Binks, director of Behavior and Health Center Diet and physical well-being of the university and study director. The team analyzed how people improve their sex lives as they lost pounds. On average, the group fell by 13 per cent of their weight within two years that lasted monitoring.

So, now, both sexologists as dietitians are adding to the list of the benefits of losing weight factor sexual alongside improvements in the numbers of blood pressure and cholesterol, among others. “Before, always linking weight loss to be better in front of the mirror, put the clothes one wanted and that one could not. Now, it is the pleasure of nudity and privacy to be loved without complexes” , Deepens John Money, sexologists representative of the United States to the world conference in Sydney.
