What do sex and sports have in common?

At first glance, it might seem like sports and sex have little in common – apart from sweating during both – but they have a surprising number of similarities.

They are good for your body and your mind

During exercise and sex, your body produces substances such as endorphins, dopamine and oxytocin .
These hormones:

• reduce stress
• give a feeling of happiness
• provide relaxation
• strengthen your self-confidence

After a sporting activity or a nice intimate moment, you often feel calmer, happier and more balanced.

You use the same muscle groups

When you exercise, you train your core, legs and arms — but also your pelvic floor muscles .
These same muscles play an important role in:

• sexual sensitivity
• more intense orgasms
• more control and relaxation

Strong, conscious muscles ensure more fun, both on and off the court.

Rhythm, timing and focus are essential

Whether you're playing a rally or indulging in fun:

• it's all about rhythm
• timing
• and being present in the moment

The better you feel what your body is doing, the better the experience will be.

Practice makes it more fun

In sports everyone knows: the more you play, the better you get.
This applies equally to sex and self-pleasure:

• you learn what you like
• you become more confident
• you dare to enjoy more
• It is not an achievement, but a journey of discovery.

It's a form of self-care

We do sports not only to stay fit, but also to:

• taking time for ourselves
• release tension
• to feel good in our bodies

Sex and masturbation are also forms of self-care: moments when you pay attention to yourself, relax and enjoy yourself — without feeling guilty.

Let's move!

Both sports and sex are about energy, connection with your body and pleasure .
They are not opposites, but allies in a healthy, strong and relaxed life.
