Building muscle during sex: myth or reality?

Article sexe mythe réalité
Sport and pleasure are not always considered compatible. But at Shaped with Pleasure, we have a different vision: what if love were a real workout?

Sex, an underestimated physical activity

The sexual act mobilizes several muscle groups, sometimes as intensely as a conventional workout. According to various studies, sexual intercourse can burn between 100 and 300 calories, depending on intensity and duration. The muscles most involved include :

  • The abdominals, engaged for support and stability.
  • Thighs and buttocks, particularly active in certain positions.
  • Arms and shoulders, especially in positions where support is essential.

Can you really build muscle during sex?

Compared to a classic bodybuilding session, it’s true that love alone won’t be enough to build significant muscle mass. However, it can be an excellent complement for toning the body and improving endurance. Repetitive movements, controlled breathing and strategic positioning can all help to strengthen muscles.

At Shaped with Pleasure, we’ve developed methods and tips to optimize the physical aspect of your lovemaking. For example:

  • Adopt positions that put more strain on deep muscles.
  • Work on sheathing and balance for better endurance.
  • Use accessories to intensify effort and vary movements.

Physical and mental benefits

As well as working the muscles, sex is an excellent cardiovascular exercise. It improves blood circulation, increases respiratory capacity and reduces stress thanks to the release of endorphins. A body in motion, a blossoming libido and a more complicit relationship… What more could you ask for?

Conclusion: an unsuspected fitness ally

You can’t replace a workout with a steamy night out, but there’s no denying that love is an asset to physical well-being. Shaped with Pleasure accompanies you in transforming every intimate moment into an opportunity to improve your form while enjoying yourself.

So, are you ready to combine business with pleasure? 😉
