I've started running recently. It's great, painful, and somewhat strange. After every run, I just really want to have sex. Normally, I'm quite controlling over my libido, but after running, I just have this immense urge. Is this normal? I'm a guy.

    Hmmm, science would say this is normal. It even happens to Charles Eugster. He's a 97 yr old athlete phenom. Seriously, he's said the same thing. Exercise increases libido. Good blood flow into all the cells. Running dilates your blood vessels, oxygenates your blood. Running is a kind of physical stress which releases adrenaline, which pumps you up like a paleo-thumping hunting raging caveman, lol.

    However, if you do too much? The reverse is more common.
    Hey, more exercise. YOLO. Enjoy.

    Totally normal. Your're burning fat (reducing estrogen), increasing testosterone, getting the blood flowing etc. All that leads to a stronger libido.

      In addition, your body's also releasing dopamine, a feel-good hormone that also shoots into your body during sex. So this makes sense.

    Yup, usually after a long run you get high testosterone level. My girl friend and I often go out and run a lot, then when we get back home we fall back in bed and make love...
