3. It’s worth it for their partners…but sometimes not

At those moments, when they do get to take their shirts off for their significant others, the hard work was worth it. People with six-packs reported loving the reaction they would get from their partners seeing, appreciating, and touching their sculpted bodies. Another person said that their six-pack negatively impacted his love life, however. The reason? Abs boosted their ego, which, as a result, made them have higher standards for girls and, hence, led to less bedroom action because their standards were so high. 

4. Abs can make you better in bed

One shocking side effect of having a six-pack and training your abs? It might make you better in bed. When you put in the work to build those abs, it comes with a side of endurance, which translates to skills in the bedroom. Some men say that when their partner needs them to maintain a certain speed or rhythm, they don’t need to take a break, slow down, or adjust anything. The unexpected results from that endurance training (plus the visuals your partner is getting) is a pretty great motivation for staying fit.
