Perhaps it is difficult to even think of, but a lot of men suffer from erectile or sexual dysfunction. 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. Reasons for this could range from emotionally destabilizing factors like stress and depression to some inevitable factors like ageing and declining testosterone levels. This could also be due to adopting a lifestyle which includes smoking, drinking and use of recreational drugs.

Anything that causes a bottleneck to the blood flow to the penis region, can cause problems with erections. It is now known that without proper blood flow to the penis there can never be any erection.

Smoking causes the number of erections to come down in a big way while the man is sleeping. When there is such reduction in the number of nightly erections, it is an early sign of something going wrong and that there is not adequate amount of blood flowing which can result in an erection. This is due to immoderate smoking according to the Lahey Hitchcock Medical Center, Burlington, Massachusetts. It has also been noticed that when one stops smoking even for a day, it can bring back involuntary nightly erections.

Moreover heavy smoking teenagers are likely to suffer from poor quality semen. Over and above the sperm volume and mobility gets affected. This could seriously jeopardize their chances of fatherhood and may even increase the risk of having children with genetic disorders due to damaged DNA received from either parent.

Similarly, studies have also demonstrated that heavy drinkers are more affected by erectile dysfunction than casual drinkers. Not only does alcohol inhibit performance but it also affects libido which makes erection impossible.

It is this clear that a moderate lifestyle can lend a good support to 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. The good news for sufferers of erectile dysfunction is that there are several herbal remedies available which act as aphrodisiacs and increase blood flow to the penis.
