The 'Skinny' on Sex After Weight Loss Slimming Down May Not Always
Improve Women's Sex Lives, Weight Loss Experts Tell What You Can Do
About It CHARLESTON, S.C., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- If a woman
thinks that finally attaining her size 4 weight loss goal will make
her sex life explode with excitement, she may have to guess again.
Shrinking body size can actually diminish sexual pleasure for many
women, according to Rosie Schulman, RN, and her husband Harold, an
Ob/Gyn, Medical Professor and clinical researcher and co-authors of
Tipping the Scales, a book on getting and living thin. They say
that where sex is concerned size may indeed matter. "As women lose
weight, the fat cells that used to produce and store estrogen are
not as productive as they were when she was heavy," explains Dr.
Schulman. "That means while her body is more svelte and attractive,
her physical processes usually supported by estrogen, such as blood
flow to genital regions and vaginal lubrication, may actually
diminish. Reduced lubrication doesn't make for great sex."
Zestra(TM) is one of the solutions that may help solve the weight
loss- lack of lubrication problem, according to the Schulman team.
The female arousal solution created by pharmacists from bioactive
botanical components is the only product of its kind that has been
studied in a well-designed clinical trial conducted by recognized
sexual medicine experts and is published in respected medical
journals (http://www.zestraforwomen.com/). According to the
Schulmans, Zestra(TM) combined with tender massage, helped
lubricate delicate tissue with heightened warmth, tingling,
sensation and lubrication. "Often when women lose weight, physical
factors and years of psychological indifference have caused their
sexual switch to be turned off and there are some changes and
reprogramming that need to be done before sex can become
enjoyable." Schulman attributes the syndrome to mental attitude,
but her ob-gyn husband and co-author Harold Schulman, MD, says that
there may be a simple physical reason for less pleasurable sex with
weight loss, namely declining estrogen. Recent research has shown
that when women lose weight their free serum estrogen declines.
This means that less estrogen gets to vital organs such as the
vagina, uterus and breasts. Although not closely studied this could
result in a decrease in genital blood flow and vaginal moisture in
some women. In women who lost weight and are experiencing sexual
problems, Zestra(TM) may be uniquely beneficial. Clinical study
results on Zestra(TM) were first reported in Boston at the
prestigious International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual
Health (ISSWSH) and were recently published in two respected
peer-reviewed medical journals -- The Journal of Sex & Marital
Therapy and Drugs. Zestra(TM) is the only non-prescription product
that is clinically proven to increase arousal, pleasure and
satisfaction in women. "Losing weight is something that should be
celebrated," states Rosie Schulman, who has helped many people lose
and keep their weight from creeping back on. "A woman should feel
every bit as sexy as she looks. Otherwise what's the point of it
all?" For more information about female sexual health and
