Male Erections
Male Erections: The last measure of a man’s sexual health is the quality and reliability of Male Erections. Erectile dysfunction ( formerly called impotence) is the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an errection adequate for intercourse. It’s an enormous problem that has really gotten the attention it deserves only since the introduction in 1998 of the erection-enhancing drug Viagra.
The largest study done to date estimates that between 20 million and 30 million men in the United States experience some degree of erectile dysfunction, with the incidence increasing steadily with age. Erectile dysfunction is caused by interplay of normal aging and a host of other factors that speed up the biological clocking, including the following
- Smoking
- Diabetes
- Alcohol
- Many prescription medications
- Obesity
- High cholesterol level
- Injury
- Sedentary lifestyle
Basically, what’s bad for the heart is bad for the penis. I think if men understood that things like high cholesterol levels put them at greater risk for erectile dysfunction and heart disease, they would likely to watch their diets, exercise and seek appropriate help. Fortunately, erectile dysfunction can almost always be successfully treated these days with either medications or a range of other techniques and technologies.
