[quote=Anonymous]People are getting huge. HUGE, not just 5 lbs. overweight, and it impacts the sex life.

"Almost two-thirds -- 65% -- of obese people in the treatment group reported significant sexual problems; 41% of the nontreatment group cited sexual problems; only 5% of normal-weight people did."  "Overweight and obesity may increase the risk of erectile dysfunction (ED) by 30–90% as compared with normal weight subjects. "

The overweight and obese French experienced the same issues, so it's not cultural, it's health related. "BMI and sexual health. There was no difference in sexual dysfunction (lack of sexual desire, arousal, painful intercourse) between obese or overweight women compared with women with a normal BMI (table 4)⇓. Nevertheless, results show a significant trend towards decreasing sexual desire with increasing BMI (P=0.01). Data also show a significant increase in erectile dysfunction with increasing BMI for men (P=0.002) (table 5)⇓. Compared with normal weight men, the odds of often experiencing erectile dysfunction in the past 12 months were 2.58 among obese men (P=0.03) and 2.69 among overweight men (P=0.02)."

40% of America is obese and more than 70% is overweight.
