Ok, so no doubt many of you started smoking
thinking it looked cool and that it might affect your sex life to look cool, or
be grown up or rebellious or whatever. You are of course totally correct in
assuming that smoking affects your sex life. In fact, several recent studies
have looked at exactly this question in regard to male impotence and found that
there is a link between smoking and difficulties having an erection. Now tell
me how cool is that? That is surely far too grown up, that is as grown up as
your aged grandfather!
Smoking has
been linked to coronary artery blockage, but now we know that arteries in the
penis are damaged by smoking, too. In a study of men with penile artery
blockage (average age 35), the smokers were significantly more blocked than
non-smokers. And the more they smoked, the more their arteries were blocked.
Since erections are mainly caused by blood flowing into the penis through
arteries, unclogged arteries are very important in enhancing one's sex life.
Nicotine is a
vasoconstrictor, meaning it tightens blood vessels and restricts blood flow. In
the long term, it has even been shown to cause permanent damage to arteries.
Since a man's erection depends on blood flow, researchers assumed smoking would
affect erections. Studies have confirmed this time and again. In one study
published in 1986 in Addiction Behavior, it was shown that just two cigarettes
could cause softer erections in male smokers. Results are corroborated by a
definitive study published in June 2001 that looked at all studies done on
impotent men over the last two decades. The research showed that 40 percent of
men affected by impotence were smokers, as opposed to 28 percent of the general
male population. Interesting eh? It’s no wonder you are considering Male Enhancement Pills.
So what does
all this discussion about impotence mean for women? During sexual arousal, the
labia, clitoris, and vagina also swell up with blood, similar to a man's penis,
enhancing sensation and arousal. If nicotine can restrict blood flow and cause
erectile dysfunction in men, it can be assumed that blood flow is restricted in
women as well, and may have a negative effect on sensation.
Of course,
quitting smoking would also eliminate stained teeth, unhealthy skin, and rapid
accumulation of wrinkles on the face, less need for natural male enhancement
pills, and clothing, hair, and breath that stink of smoke. That might improve
one's sex life. Smokers may have enjoyed a sexy image in the past, but research
tells us that they are not "doing it" as often as non-smokers.
Studies show that men between 25 and 40 years who smoked one or more packs per
day had sex less often than non-smoking men of the same age. Another study
suggested that carbon monoxide in the blood caused by smoking inhibits the
production of testosterone (a hormone that creates sex drive).
Lastly, smoking affects fertility. Smokers'
sperm come in many sizes and shapes - many of them not normal. Some have two
tails or two heads, others have giant or tiny heads, and some have split tails.
The more a man smokes, the worse the damage. Nicotine essentially poisons the
sperm and its ability to fertilize an egg.
