Beach sexual stimulation

Yes, I think they do have an affect on our bodies, and libido to some extent. To the guy worried about you seeing skin at the beach--- ignore him, he's a dork (to that person: you're going to have to see people in life, stop treating your recovery like it's a case of cooties). As for the beach, yes, I think the effect happens in three ways. First, there is the calming nature of beaches. Second is the sun. Basking in all that light has a positive effect on our cells, our brain chemistry, etc (see videos by Andrew Huberman, he gets into the sun and how it effects testosterone). Third, if your swimming in the water, you're using many of your muscles all at once (moreso than say a swimming pool, because ocean water is always moving). I have extremely bad PIED. But after a friends wedding in Mexico, spending 10 days in the sun, swimming in the water, having regular breakfasts, and working out, I saw huge improvements when I came back home--- unfortunately, I squandered that opportunity through relapse.

Since I can't go to Mexico every day, I bought a red light therapy device, joined a gym, and started jiu jitsu. On a new journey now.
