1. Taking drugs
A new study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine suggests that drug use, especially amphetamines, can affect men's sexual life.
Researchers tested 1159 men who had taken excessive amphetamines or other "speed type" drugs. Among these participants, half believed that drug use did not affect their sexual function; The other half claimed that the medication brought them "harder erections, sexual satisfaction, enhanced orgasms, and delayed ejaculation".
Amphetamine is a drug that stimulates the central nervous system and is commonly used to treat certain diseases. However, excessive use or even abuse can lead to physical and psychological addiction. Taking it in the short term can increase heart rate, suppress appetite, bring joy, make people more alert, easier to control themselves, and more social; Long term use of it can cause restlessness, insomnia, hallucinations, and aggressive behavior.
2. Alcohol
Setting aside popular beliefs such as' promiscuity after drinking ', sex and alcohol are not actually mixed up. According to Daily Health, alcohol is actually a sedative. It will reduce libido and make it harder for men to have an erection. A 2007 study by the University of Washington also found that sober men have faster erections than drunk men, and some men who drink alcohol are unable to have an erection at all.
3. Nicotine
If you are a smoker, don't expect nicotine to have a Viagra like effect on your pencil, but the opposite is actually true. In 2011, researchers in the UK recruited 65 sexually active men who wanted to quit smoking. They were first measured for their erection status in the laboratory, followed by an 8-week smoking cessation treatment.
The results showed that 31% of men who successfully quit smoking had wider and harder erections; And compared to men who relapse, they reach their maximum intensity of sexual arousal faster. Subsequent follow-up studies found that 20% of participants reported having erectile dysfunction at the beginning; Among those who have successfully quit smoking, 75% say they are no longer troubled.
4. Prescription drugs
Drugs are a common cause of sexual dysfunction, and we are not talking about drug use. In fact, one out of every four patients with erectile dysfunction can be traced back to the use of prescription drugs. For example, some drugs used to treat high cholesterol (such as statins) can affect the secretion of testosterone; Drug treatment for blood pressure can slow down blood flow, lead to decreased libido, and affect erection and ejaculation.
The above are the four major factors that affect male sexual function that the editor will introduce to you. In fact, these factors are all caused by bad lifestyle habits. As a man, not only should he have a good body, but also good sexual ability is responsible for his family and a magic weapon for satisfying his wife and son.
