Men might think that by spending hours in the gym, honing their bodies until they resemble a buff Adonis, women (or other men) will throw themselves at them, powerless to resist the sexual attraction they feel.

男人们或许以为，当他们花大量时间在健身房塑造自己的躯体，成为健硕美男后，女人们（或其他男人）会蜂拥而至，无法抗拒他们身上散发的性吸引力。

But it turns out strenuous exercise could be doing your sex life more harm than good.

但结果是，剧烈运动可能会对性生活产生负面影响。

According to a new study, high intensity workouts may actually lower a man's libido.

一项最新研究显示，其实高强度运动可能会降低一个男人的性欲。

The research by the University of North Carolina assessed 1,100 men who considered themselves to be athletes. The men were asked questions about their sex lives but also their exercise habits.

美国北卡罗来纳州大学的这项研究评估了1100位自认为身强体健的男性，调查了他们的性生活和锻炼习惯。

The men who participated in the survey were divided up based on how much and how intensely they exercised, then also based on whether their libidos were high or low.

研究者先根据受访者锻炼的时间和强度进行分组，随后再根据他们性欲的强度分组。
