Looking at the pumped gym athlete is a pleasure to one’s eye, while noticing someone overweight on the street is totally opposite. But do you know that both of them face same problem when it comes to the sexual life?

Men’s sexual functions are mainly controlled by testosterone. However this hormone easily transformed into a female sexual hormone – estrogen by ferment called aromatase. A rate with which testosterone becomes estrogene is proportional to the amount of aromatase in the human body. And here is the most important thing - the aromotase levels itself are proportional to the body weight, regardless of its fat or muscle.

Therefore – not looking great, but maintaining an optimal body weight (body index) is the key.

We are pretty sure you may find a lot of information online regarding this matter, however if you prefer to discuss something with a doctor, feel free to do so.
