You may not know about it, but the instances of men suffering from various sex problems like erectile dysfunction are an everyday happening. One can not believe the official figure of 40% as it would be definitely higher since a lot of men would shy away from admitting the truth. There could be many reasons for this which range from advancing years and consequent drop in testosterone or it could be due to psychological reasons like stress and depression. However some recreational activities like smoking, drinking and drugs could also be contributing factors.
Anything which hampers blood flow to the penile area can affect erections negatively. It is now known that erection can not be possible unless there is good amount of blood flow to the penis.
While asleep, the number of erections can reduce substantially, if the man is a smoker. 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. Even when you stop smoking for a day, it can restore normal nighttime erections.
Moreover heavy smoking teenagers are likely to suffer from poor quality semen. Additionally the sperm volume also deteriorates. This not only tampers with the possibility of becoming a father but may also result in their children born with severe genetic abnormalities from damaged DNA got 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. For an energetic and problem-free sex life and good health, a healthy diet plan and regular physical exercise are compulsory. Erectile dysfunction can be treated with herbal supplements which contain time-tested ingredients which increase the blood flow to the penis.
