Default Sex and LC.....(don't read if you get offended easily)

Seriously,

Since LC, I'm feeling more "aroused" then usual. Maybe because I'm not bloated and able to move around more. Seriously, I'm not fixated on food anymore........I'm fixated on something else.

Is it mental or are you guys scared to say you feel the same.....

I totally makes a difference for me. I think it's very much a body image issue... I don't feel even remotely sexy when I'm overweight.... I'm STILL overweight, but not as bad as before.

Changes nothing for me. I'm horny 24/24hrs, 7/7 days. loool...

However, I get less tired when I'm "doing it". As it's easier for me to stay in the "push-up" position for longer periods of time, AND, because my belly is smaller it's easier for her to slide her hand between us and play with herself at the same time as I am doing...

hehehhe... (too much details ?)

I'm ...*ahem*....more movable! If that makes any sense. I noticed the last time that my body could contort into different positions much more easily. My gawwwd, I sound like something out of a carnival show! ha!

Now that I am this weight, I am defeinitely not interested.

Incase I lose the weight, I be happy to let you know if that has change, here I was blaming it on age, but chances are the weight might has alot to do with it, lets hope that change.

Default different thread

There's a different thread over in nutrition or health somewhere from a guy who said his sex drive dropped to zero when he was very low carb. We couldn't tell if he was complaining or bragging or trolling. It seemed to be fairly linear with carb count, according to his discussion.

OTOH, I notice a parallel to night time temperature, and when the nights get over 70 degrees F, it really takes off. I figure it's nature's way of wanting me to get pregnant so I'd be giving birth at the "best" time of year for a baby. Thank goodness we have workarounds...

Default working out??

Are you just low carbing or are you also working out???Working out and getting the blood flowing in a non sexual way really helps to get the blood flowing in a sexual way. The whole self esteem thing is big also .. If you feel better about yourself it shows BIG TIME and it will cause other to see you in a better light ...but on a different note .. any of you ladies like to talk to my wife about it ???PLEASE lol

Extra weight, to me, means less interest, definitely. When I'm smaller, there are angles I don't mind him seeing, positions I don't mind being in, and different levels of lighting I don't mind being in!

Oh no, you are definitely not alone. I've been pretty much a raging pile of lust since March. Unfortunately, I am single (although I am working on changing that), so there isn't a lot I can do about it. (At least, not that I'll admit to on this forum! )
