PositiveTip for

Obesity and Sexuality

Obese young women are 3 times as likely to use the internet to meet a partner.

French investigators have found that erectile dysfunction is experienced twice as often among obese men compared to normal weight men. However, obese women were no more likely to experience sexual dysfunction than normal weight women. But younger obese women were three times as likely to have met a partner on the internet, and were more likely to have an obese partner than normal weight women.

PositiveTip: Obesity not only impacts overall health, it can also negatively impact healthy relationships and emotions.
