Use it or lose it
A new study published in the American Journal of Medicine
shows that men with erection problems tend not to have much sex,
prompting sexual health experts to claim that increased sexual
activity can lower the risk of erectile disfunction.
Researchers with the Tampere Male Urological Study in Finland
studied almost 1000 Finnish men, asking them how frequently they
engaged in intercourse and if they had experienced erectile
disfunction.
The researchers found that having sex once a week halved men's
chances of developing erection problems. The study's director, Dr
Juha Koskimaki, says that this is probably because using the penis
regularly maintains its oxygen levels, which are vital to muscle
health. Low levels of oxygen can reduce muscular flexibilty and can
affect the way the penis responds to chemical signals during sexual
arousal.
Bottom line? Have more sex.
