Want great sex in '07? Lose weight
Sex columnist Brian Alexander lists "Lose the weight, get in shape" as the "most important thing you can do this year to improve your sex life." While this isn't to say that voluptuous folk can't have a good time, for most people, your libido and performance drop when you're overweight and out of shape.
While overweight men exhibit significant drops in testosterone levels, exercise creates pulses in sex hormones -- so take Brian's advice, and "get off the couch."
Looking for other solutions to spice up the sex life? Try having a conversation, dropping the sexual politics, and promising to make sex about the other person.

True, so true!
I gained 20 lbs after moving to the Pacific NW and my drive went down the drain.
I could care less about SEX, for the most part.
Not that I don't think about it every once in awhile, but when I see this body, it's not sexy. I don't feel it so I don't want it.
So this year the flab is coming off!

Great ideas! It might be fun to incorporate physical activity into the relationship by doing things like hiking to a private spot in the woods or playing a competitive game together to get the brain going before spending some intimate time together. Doing things together strengthens the relationship, the activity will improve your health in the longterm, and the endorphins released through exercising will just add to the experience!
