Struggling

40yo married here.

When my diet goes to crap or I'm not in the gym, my sexual energy dwindles. I had hernia surgery middle of last year. Longest spell out of the gym for me in 3+ years since I started. Morning wood was very infrequent.

When I'm on point and squatting heavy (and eating well in order to enjoy squatting heavy) my sexual energy ramps up.

I see this as a normal and good thing. I'm a man. I want to increase my sexual energy ... even if there are possible temptations that come along with it.

Insight you ask for? Lift heavy. Eat right. Make goals in the gym, and hit them. Be the man who makes goals and hits them all over life. Be a man of value.

Yeah, it happens. Building muscle can cause a slight increase in several sex related hormones. Given enough time it will even itself out.

What do you mean by sexual temptation? It's a bit vague. Like tempted to look at porn? Find a ONS? Stare at women in the gym? Call up an old flame? Be specific.

Also, what else is going on in your life? Hobbies, bible study, church, prayer, friends, family, tv shows, movies, internet activity, gaming? What do you do to fill up your free time?

If you are lifting (as you should be), your testosterone levels will indeed go up. You will feel more sexual desire and confidence.
