Exercise Boosts Men's Mental, Sexual Health, Poll Finds

On June 3, the Cleveland Clinic's online survey found most men report exercise improves mental health, confidence, and sex drive.
The poll found very high weekly stress among men, with about 86% experiencing stress or mental exhaustion, prompting the MENtion IT campaign to break stigma and encourage support, Cleveland Clinic said.
Survey respondents reported skipping workouts causes 81% lower energy, 47% more stress, 33% decreased mental well-being, 61% link fitness to sex drive, and around 66% would seek mental health help.
Most men were unaware that about 18% had low sexual desire and 15% erectile dysfunction in the past year, while large shares didn't link these to heart disease, uncontrolled diabetes, high blood pressure, or depression.
About 30% of men do not engage in regular physical activity despite benefits, so clinicians urge screenings and mental-health care while Cleveland Clinic's MENtion IT campaign encourages open health talks.
