What Effects Your Sexual Performance?
Strange but true, problems like erectile dysfunction affecting the sexual health of men are more frequent than we can think of. While the figure is at 40% according to official studies, it could actually be higher since a lot of men prefer to remain non-committal in these issues. There are several plausible reasons for this including advancing age, reduction in testosterone or he could be suffering from some temporary mental upheavals like stress and depression. However some recreational activities like smoking, drinking and drugs could also be contributing factors.
Anything which tampers with the flow of blood to the penis can be a deterrent to erections. Physiologically speaking the penile region needs blood to flow smoothly for making erection a possibility.
Smoking is one of the major causes that have lead to a substantial drop in the number of erections that take place while you are asleep. This drop in nightly erections gives an important signal that there is an underlying problem and that enough blood is not flowing for normal erection to occur. According to Lahey Hitchcock Medical Center, Burlington, Massachusetts, extreme amount of smoking causes this. It is also proved that even stopping smoking for a day improves nightly erections.
Moreover heavy smoking teenagers are likely to suffer from poor quality semen. Additionally the sperm volume also deteriorates. This drastically reduces their chance of becoming a father as well as increases the chance of having offspring with genetic disorders due to faulty DNA imbibed from either parent.
Similarly, there have been studies that highlight that heavy drinkers suffer more form erectile dysfunction than occasional drinkers. This is because alcohol is a suppressant and it affects male libido negatively which makes it harder for you to achieve and maintain an erection.
Thus a balanced and healthy lifestyle is behind the success of your sex life. If you adopt a balanced diet plan with moderate exercising, you could see a dramatic change in your sex drive and overall improvement in health. If you suffer from erectile dysfunction you could rely on herbal medications which contain herbal ingredients with aphrodisiac properties which pump in more blood to your penis.
