How does bodybuilding affect one's libido? Has anyone noticed any changes in their sex drive or sexual performance after starting bodybuilding?

Many bodybuilding supplements do increase your libido greatly.

When I was lifting heavy, I was more aggressive, but my sex drive didn't change. I think that may have something to do with reproductive organs being within the body cavity, where there is little stimulus.

For men, doing heavy exercises and taking supplements that actually increase testosterone production can greatly increase sex drive, since testosterone is the main male sex hormone.

If Schwarzenegger's romping past is any indication, I'd say bodybuilding tends to increase your libido.

I think it is different with women DianaR because of the different homonal factors involved in arousal.
