Let’s be honest—exercise keeps you wet in more ways than one.
In this episode of the Shameless Care Podcast, Robert and Anna break down how movement, muscle, and a little sweat can completely transform your sex life. This isn’t another “go to the gym and look hot” conversation; it’s the real science of how exercise changes blood flow, hormones, and arousal physiology for everyone—men, women, and everyone in between.
We start with the basics: how regular exercise improves genital blood flow, erection quality, and vaginal lubrication through better endothelial function and nitric oxide production. According to a 2024 BMJ study, even short sprint-interval training can significantly boost vascular health. Anna, of course, calls it “cardio for the clitoris,” and she’s not wrong.
Then we hit the hormone stack: testosterone, estrogen, cortisol, and the misunderstood role of endorphins. Resistance training boosts free testosterone in both men and women, while too much high-intensity exercise can tank libido by spiking cortisol. Anna unpacks why yoga might be the best sex enhancer nobody talks about, and Robert argues that the treadmill might be humanity’s least erotic invention—unless you count what it does for your heart.
But it’s not just physiology. Confidence, body image, and mood all play huge roles in sexual satisfaction. Research from the Journal of Sexual Medicine shows that people who exercise regularly report higher desire, more frequent orgasms, and greater satisfaction with partnered sex. Movement rewires your brain for pleasure, not just performance.
We also tackle age and recovery—what “fit for sex” looks like at 25 versus 55, and how the right mix of strength, cardio, and rest keeps everything firing. You’ll hear about nitric oxide, pelvic floor strength, mitochondrial density, and—because it’s us—probably one too many jokes about glute bridges.
By the end, you’ll understand why the body’s vascular health is sexual health, and why movement may be the most under-prescribed aphrodisiac in medicine.
Whether you’re trying to boost arousal, prevent ED, or just feel more alive in bed, this episode will make you laugh, learn, and maybe lace up your shoes.
Because at Shameless Care, sex-positive healthcare isn’t just about testing—it’s about thriving.
