Increase libido for me?

Well... my sex drive is still low. I am glad that I am going back to swimming. They say that swimming is the best exercise for better health and better sex.

Almost all MS patients can't handle heat-whether generated by temperatures outside the body or by exercise-may cause temporary worsening of many MS symptoms. In these cases, eradicating the heat eliminates the problem. Some temperature-sensitive patients find that a cold bath may temporarily relieve their symptoms. For the same reason, swimming is often a good exercise choice for people with MS. Exercise is an important part of maintaining function for the person with MS, therefore, swimming is often recommended because it allows strenuous activity without overheating.

Swimming is the best exercise without adding stress to knees, ankles, legs and the back. A major benefit of swimming is the near weightlessness, which can help swimmers strengthen their shoulders and abdominal muscles. The exercise also strengthens the heart and helps decrease problems associated with diabetes, asthma, high blood pressure and allergies. Better sex is another benefit from swimming (or Aerobic exercise). Those who swim (Aerobic exercise) regularly tend to have higher levels of desire, greater sex confidence and frequency, and an enhanced ability to better arousal.

Why is swimming (or any form of aerobic exercise) is real libido booster?

Many experts says that aerobic exercise triggers the release of endorphins, opiate-like chemicals produced in the brain that create a sense of well-being, which makes you more receptive to sex which also boost your self-esteem, confidence and body image, all of which are important factors to maintain a positive attitude.

Anyway, I am going to swim about 1 mile each time I swim. Lap Swimming in a 25 tyard pool is 2 lengths, from the starting point to the other end and back again. 72 laps makes 1 mile (144 lengths). When I was swimming a few years back, I used to do a mile within 40 minutes. Not sure about now so I will find out when I start.
