This Is Why Vegans Might Have Better Sex

And vegetarians, too...

If you’re like most people, the idea of veganism conjures up images of tasteless tofu and carrot sticks.

But what you may not know is that vegans also have a reputation for being great in bed. That’s right, if you’re looking for a passionate partner, you may want to consider dating a vegan.

Or becoming one yourself.

Now, before you write off the entire population of vegans as sex-crazed hippies, it’s important to note that anyone of any diet or nutritional lifestyle can have amazing sex.

However, vegans do have an upper hand in several ways.

If you’re looking to spice up your love life, read on to find out how going vegan can help you have better sex.

Woody Harrelson said:

Becoming vegan was the biggest change I ever made in my life, and one of the greatest accomplishments as well.

Better Blood Flow

As any vegan will tell you, a plant-based diet has benefits that extend far beyond just improved health.

A vegan diet, which is high in various nutrients and low in saturated fat and cholesterol, can help to enhance blood viscosity. This allows more oxygen to reach the muscles, which aids athletic performance.

I probably don’t need to explain the connection between great sex and peak performance.

Formula 1 racecar driver and athlete, Lewis Hamilton, said:

This is why I have decided to go on a vegan diet. It has been over a year now. Yes, it’s hard — nothing’s ever easy — but I’ve felt the best I’ve ever felt.

Plant-based diets help improve the flexibility and diameter of your arteries. This leads to better blood flow. All of this makes vegans plant-munching sex gods.

In other words, their blood is thicc.

Stronger Erections

For many men, the idea of having low cholesterol might not seem like it would have much of an impact on their sexual health.

However, research published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine shows that there is a link between cholesterol levels and erectile function.

The reason for this is that cholesterol plays a vital role in the production of testosterone. Testosterone is the hormone responsible for sexual arousal, and it also helps to promote the growth of new blood vessels.

When cholesterol levels are too high, it can reduce the amount of testosterone in the body and make it more difficult for blood vessels to function properly.

As a result, men with high cholesterol are more likely to experience erectile dysfunction. While there are many potential causes of erectile dysfunction, maintaining a healthy cholesterol level is essential for optimal sexual health.

Body Conscious

Vegans tend to be highly conscious of what they put into their bodies.

They’re often careful about what they eat and make sure to get enough nutrients and vitamins. This healthy lifestyle extends to their sex lives as well. Vegan men tend to have higher levels of testosterone and more sperm than non-vegans, priming them to be better lovers.

Meanwhile, vegan women tend to have higher levels of estrogen, which makes them more aroused and responsive to sexual stimulation.

Ultra Compassion

In addition, vegans typically possess deep compassion, which can carry over into the bedroom.

They’re likely to take their partner’s needs into consideration and focus on mutual pleasure. This sense of empathy creates a deeper connection between partners and enhances the overall experience.

As with food preferences, many non-vegans also display compassion.

However, vegans seem predisposed to empathy.

Higher Sex Drives

One of the most surprising benefits of veganism is a higher sex drive.

Good circulation is essential for a healthy sex life, as it helps to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the sexual organs. It also plays a role in determining how sensitive the genitals are to stimulation.

By improving circulation, vegans can enjoy a more active and satisfying sex life.

Menopause Mediator

In case you needed any more motivation to eat more salads, according to new research, a plant-based diet can also help relieve the symptoms of menopause.

According to a study in the Menopause journal, menopausal women who followed a soy-rich vegan diet had fewer vasomotor symptoms, such as hot flashes.

The North American Menopause Society conducted the research and is no doubt pleased with the findings.

In case you’re wondering, soy isoflavones are estrogen-like compounds found in plant-based foods. They “deepfake” estrogen in the body. During menopause, estrogen levels drop, causing hot flashes and sleeplessness. Soy isoflavones can help to relieve these problems by replacing some lost estrogens.

But you don’t need to know all of that to know that easier menopause symptoms mean better sex.

Final Thoughts

You don’t have to dive into veganism or vegetarianism. You can dabble. You can test out a new way of eating, living, and loving.

I like how writer, podcaster, and TV personality, Fearne Cotton puts it:

We all have a better understanding these days of how food affects us, and also how our food choices affect the planet. Whenever you decide to eat vegan, whether it be for a month or once a week on a Monday, it’s still going to be beneficial to you and the planet.
