All I can surmise is this:

- Working on your body makes you more attractive to the opposite sex
- Women might presume the guy has more stamina
- There could be an evolutionary link: Women know that working out translates to a better body, and a better body leads to more attention from other women. Maybe the increased sex is his partner's way of saying "don't pay attention to anyone else, you have everything you need right here."

Can anyone else relate?
No. I would assume that there's some change in your mood or general vibe that you're not aware of, and that she's reacting to. Working out is known to increase T levels, and to improve a sense of well-being.

You are surprised that your wife wants more sex when you are more in shape? shocker.


Are you overweight usually?


I have a coworker, he gains and loses 10-20 lbs every now and then and it makes a differenc of day and night on his appearance. He goes from hot to not!


Some people don't look much different with a little more or less weight but others look quite differently in their face.

Only if they work out consistently. If they go to the gym today but haven't gone in months, no, that will not do anything for me.

Great points all around so far.

It's true that when I'm dieting/going to the gym consistently, I feel a lot more confident. I also give more importance to my overall appearance (cologne, clothing, etc.). I guess this is something the opposite sex picks up on. Not only do you look better physically, but you're projecting more confidence. I think the mere fact that you're putting in the effort to look more attractive makes you more attractive.

I think you answered your question to an extent.

There are a lot of things that go into why a woman wants to have sex with someone more after he works out. For one thing, you are showing that you care about yourself enough to actually take care of yourself.

There are plenty of other factors to it, but this is really a no-brainer.

I'd imagine working out routinely would be attractive to women
