Is there any relationship between sexual desire and obesity?

　　Human sexual desire is mainly directly related to the endocrine system, and has nothing to do with obesity. But generally speaking, the amount of adipose tissue in obese women increases, and the concentration of estrogen is relatively higher than that of androgens. This not only affects the menstrual cycle and fertility, but also generally causes low sexual desire. male Due to the increase in body fat, more androgens are converted into estrogen, and the blood concentration can more than double, inhibiting the secretion of pituitary gonadotropin, causing sexual function to decrease to varying degrees. Sexual dysfunction in highly obese people includes not only low sexual desire, but also symptoms of erection, sexual intercourse, ejaculation , orgasm and many other disorders.

　　In addition, experts have found that for a woman, being too fat or too thin will affect their sexual psychology. For example, an ugly figure may cause low self-confidence, or it may be difficult to arouse the enthusiasm of heterosexual partners for sexual participation. People who are too thin may worry that they are not sexy enough, which may cause psychological disorders. On the other hand, being overweight or underweight can lead to inconvenience during sexual intercourse, fatigue, lack of energy and other factors, which over time can lead to a decrease or even disappearance of sexual interest.
