A review in Obesity of 47 studies found the evidence consistent that obesity goes with reduced sexual functioning: obese men more often reported erectile dysfunction, women reported more problems overall, and most weight-loss studies found improvement afterward.

No reason to avoid having sex after a heart attack
In a survey presented to an American Heart Association meeting, only half of men and a third of women said doctors raised sexual activity before discharge after a heart attack, and many then avoided it. Harvard's Murray Mittleman says the risk is negligible and regular exercise nearly erases it.
