Medical field have reported that stressful life and lack of exercise have negative effects on adult`s diseases and sexual activity. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between recreational sports activity and sexual activity in married males. Five hundreds thirty married males in a big city were randomly sampled and consented to participate. Data(N=495) were collected using the 25-items, self-report Sport Activity Questionnaire and the Sexual Activity Survey, developed and piloted by authors. Results of Analysis of Covariance showed that whether or not you participate in sports activity was significantly associated with the sexual activity(p<.001). Scheffe`s post hoc test showed that the sexual activity was the highest in the most active participants. The frequency of sport activities(p<.05) and the duration of sport activities(p<.01) were also related to the sexual activity. The 4 times a week participation was higher than the once a week in the sexual activity(p<.05). And the sexual activities were higher in the 90 ∼ 120 min compared to the less than 30 min and more than the 2 hour exercise(p<.05). However, the participation years, the mode of sport activity, the company existence, and the regular/organized participation in sports activity were shown to have no effect on the sexual activity. It was concluded that the moderate sports activity was positively associated with sexual activity among married males.
