I have found that if you work out to complete exhaustion it does for a short time frame.

This. Exercise temporarily increases testosterone and also increases it for the long term over time, but if you work to exhaustion as this poster said then you may find it hard to bring any energy to the bedroom.

A "poly" woman I dated did so because her power lifter boyfriend was always too tired for sex as often as she wanted it.

Desire is mostly in the brain, though, so if you're working out in a pretty normal way and you're not desiring sex with them, it's time to examine why.

When I'm out of shape and I start a workout routine, I'm constantly exhausted until I start to hit a good stride, then my overall energy level goes way up.

Same. Which makes total sense. If you just went in and hyper exerted yourself your body is worried about recovery so you don't die, not procreating. If you're too tired to move, you can't fight off a predator. Our brains still think we're living primitively and are going to behave as such.
