THERE IS A compelling connection between vitality and sex appeal that remains largely undersold.

ACTRESS MAE WEST called sex “emotion in motion” To say that healthiness and sexiness are connected is to understate the obvious. It would be virtually impossible to overstate the health factors that play a role in what we think of as sex appeal. It should also be clear that we’re not talking exclusively about the health of the body or falling in love. But rather, the sexual performance of a man and how healthy habits engender sexiness because there’s something inherently sexy about a healthy person.

Poor sexual stamina is frustrating, but it happens in both men and women. Research shows men’s average stamina is between 2 to 5 minutes, while women’s can last approximately 20 minutes before orgasm.

Your sexual function is dependent on your general health and, when your underlying health suffers, so does the vitality that makes sexual attraction interesting. Health problems of all kinds can radically reduce both your desire for sex and your ability to engage in it.

Most men in their 30’s onwards have developed some kind of weight problem because they don’t possess the discipline to resist unhealthy temptation.

Fitness-faking: we all know that things like Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat and TikTok give the impression that we are doing better than we are. Perceived well-being is something millions of people invest in to exaggerate their current state of health and fitness, to give the impression that they are doing better than they are.

The Massachusetts Male Aging Study: The longitudinal study of health and aging, carried out by this study found that participants who burned an average of 200 calories per day were less likely to become impotent over time compared to men who didn’t exercise at all.

Failing that, guys could take up the practice of Shunamitism (the practice of old men

sleeping with — just sleeping with — young women).  This started when King David of the Old Testament was brought a young girl, Abishag the Shunamite, to lie with the elderly king in a non-sexual embrace. It was believed that the breath of someone very much younger is life-giving. The practice was also promoted by doctors as a restorative in 18th-century France.
