Years ago I put out a rather gaudy article on all the ways kettlebells make you better at sex. It gathered some attention, naturally. And ever since, I’ll have an email come in, now and then, saying something along the lines of, “Pat, I see you are an expert in matters of salacious expression. Do you offer any paid instruction? Or is it all just Youtube tutorials and what not?”
So I go on to explain that sex was merely something I tried, once or twice, in order to get a better understanding of the benefits of kettlebells and that, had it not been for my curiosity around what physical effects the swing can convey in the bedroom, I, being a man of high taste, would have abstained from the matter, entirely. So, “No, I don’t offer any paid instruction.” But thanks for asking.
Because what has it got me, sex? I am married now, with three children, because of it. My freedom has been frightfully diminished. My food bill has been unfathomably enlarged. I am no longer the spirited scientist of my youth. I have a dog, a house, and all these plants to water, and closets to clean, etc. It is often an agonizing bill to pay. Ah, but it is not without benefit, either, I must admit. The children are fine, and fair, and oh so innocent and precious looking. My wife, Christine, is as an agreeable spouse and amenable to my needs. And, alright, yes, I love her. You caught me.
But back to the subject of sex. Do you need a description of it? Very well, then: The act itself can be most accurately described as an application of friction between two (or more) consenting adults, and so on, and so on. Fair enough?
Now let’s move on.
5 Ways Kettlebells Make You Better At Sex.
The kettlebell increases hip drive, the key component of effective intercourse.
To initiate sex, at least one participant person must be capable of producing movement in their hips. It is better if both do it, but, you know, sometimes you have a long day at work, and just wanna’ relax.
But the kettlebell reminds you of what your hips are there for–of what your hips are supposed to do! The forceful and repeated contraction and expansion of the glutes, hamstrings, erector what-have-you, and so on, cause the hips to propel forward and get everything going, in a general sort of way.
The kettlebell builds stamina and suppleness.
Now for sex to be kept a good deal of fun and games, you should be able to form yourself into many different kinds of shapes. Just imagine, for example, your partners surprise the first time you turn yourself into a tetrahedron, or something like that. Well, kettlebells can give you the mobility you need, and the stamina to stay there.
Goblet squats, for example, and such variations therein, serve to slacken the hips, knees, and lower back. I recommend 25 reps a day.
Also, is the need for wind–endurance, as they say. For you see when it comes to sex, it is not mannerly to call time out in the middle of it. (Taking frequent breaks may cause you to look inexperienced.) Obviously a break may be merited if things reach a certain boiling point–that is understandable. But you should never be physically wiped out from the actual, physical exercise of it. So for this, we turn to kettlebells, once more, to condition us.
The kettlebell leans you out, makes you strong, and attractive.
It has to be indicated, at some point or other, that physical attractiveness has something to do with getting laid.
And so it must be noted that hardly any other device aside the kettlebell is so notorious for stripping away fat and adding muscle on in its place. Complexes, combos, chains, etc–all of these devices are deadly effective metabolic conditioners.
And so a few more sample specimens, I leave below.
The kettlebell… erm…
Really and truly? I have no fifth reason for why kettlebells make you better at sex. This article was a stretch to start and I see no reason why I should stretch it any further.
So why don’t you tell me? How have kettlebells improved YOUR sex life? Or say, exercise in general. Drop a comment below. Would love to hear about it.

Strong ON!

Add a dragon and a bloody impaling, and I feel like I’ve just experienced a Game of Thrones episode! And, like said GoT episode, it motivated me to get back at it.*
* “It” being healthful-training, not IT, if you know what I mean by “IT.”
Pat Flynn says
Oh, I know what “IT” means… You don’t have to explain “IT” to me, Matt!

We have noticed the “what the hell” effect of swings manifesting in all sorts of ways. For example; both flat footed since birth, we are now sporting a far more pronounced arch.
We eulogise to friends of the benefits of kettlebells, but have never touched on this happily found side effect. Thank you for raising it.
Me, being older, noticed a waning in my libido which somehow has been rampantly resurgent since we started swinging. Haha 😉
For reason number 5 perhaps one might consider strength. A damsel in distress may enjoy being pinned down by a great brute and be ravished. Or have we been reading and re-enacting too many a bodice ripping novel?
Regardless, what you have said is real and is working well for us. I’m sure it is the same for many others who are perhaps too coy to say.

Mike,
Made me laugh with this one. So thanks for that. Also cool to hear swings have had such a positive effect on you. Not uncommon, but always fun to hear about.

Sad fact…that what kettlebell training can do for sex, other spiritual commitments can “undo” in most, if not all ways…
this must be why nuns don’t swing the kettlebell and why i may be dropping the kettlebell and heading to the “sikh” convent sooner than later…God help me!
or, i will have to live as a manmukh…whatever that means…but I think it involves eating a burger and drinking a beer with a fellow gym rat…smh!
Gus Worden says
What exactly is a manmukh?
Pat Flynn says
Oh, you!
And yes, what is a manmukh?

I started training with the kettlebells about 4 months back. I happened to start after reading a post you did on them. I wish I had commented now looking back. It is funny coming here and going right for this post. It has only been 4 months since I started. Not only have I gotten engaged, but my life in “the bedroom” has improved so much my fiance is the one who comes on to me! That was never the case in the 3 years we dated. I am in better shape, I am able to WOW her, and I don’t get tired anymore. Win-win and WIN!

This is by far one of the most motivating blog posts I’ve ever seen! xD
You make some good points though, there are a lot of important factors that are common between the two activities. I might just send this to my husband…
