There are plenty of ways to protect your erection. Some of these involve changing our daily habits, while substituting new ones.
In this article I will explore 7 ways you can prevent erectile dysfunction.
1. Leave your work at the office
“Work-related stress is a huge issue for sexual function,” says Dr. Walker. Men with demanding jobs have a hard time leaving work at the office, which means their anxiety is in high gear for most of the day keeping them from ever reaching full-throttle in the bedroom.
When you’re a workaholic, sleep and exercise—two big contributors to ED tend to take a backseat. Knowing when to turn it off can help you get it up, Dr. Walker reassures.
“Don’t work when you get home, don’t work on vacation, and incorporate more stress-relieving activities like exercise,”
he advises.
2. Go to bed early
Researchers from the University of Chicago found that sleeping 5 hours or less tanked testosterone levels of young, healthy guys by 10 percent after only a few days.
“Sleep affects free testosterone, the part that isn’t bound by proteins and is free to do what your body needs it to do, including support your libido and sexual function,” Dr. Walker explains.
The balance of brain hormones that have an effect on your erection like dopamine and serotonin are regulated by sleep. Solid shuteye is most important in younger guys, for whom low T plays a larger part in their ability to get it up, Dr. Walker adds. Aim for at least 6 hours a night, but 7 or 8 is ideal.
3. Good oral hygiene
Researchers have proven that ED and chronic gum disease share some of the same risk factors. One study showed that 80% of the male population, who had ED, caused by poor penile blood supply, also suffered from severe gum disease.
While keeping your love life healthy is to keep your oral functions healthy, with brushing, flossing and regular dental visits.
4. Drink Less Alcohol
A University of Washington study found that drunk dudes put more effort into getting it up and still saw softer results than sober seducers.
Even if you don’t have problems performing now, heavy drinking can impair your sexual performance down the road, according to a 2013 study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, which found reformed alcoholics were more likely to have ED than their clean counterparts.
5. Stop cradling your laptop & mobile phones
Laptops generate a tremendous amount of heat, and anything that warms the testicles too much can decrease your sperm count and testosterone levels, says Dr. Fisch.
The cells in the testicles that produce your swimmers and hormones are heat-sensitive, which is why the scrotum is outside the body to start with.
Your testes functions optimally a few degrees below body temperature. Perching your PC over your junk can possibly affect T production, messing with your ability to get an erection, Dr. Fisch says.
6. Do not smoke
Smoking cigarettes can harm blood vessels and curb blood flow to the penis. And nicotine makes blood vessels contract, which can hamper blood flow to the penis.
Men who gave up cigarettes for 8 weeks had thicker, more rigid erections and reached max arousal five times faster than their smoking friends who relapsed, according to a 2011 study in the British Journal of Urology International.
7. Exercise
Break out a sweat for 30mins at least three times a week. It will not only improve your stamina and make you look younger, it will also make you feel good. This is in addition to all other health benefits of exercise.
Exercise especially resistance training builds your muscles. This is turn increses the body's production of testosterone, the male hormone resposonle for libido.
“A lot of guys know their lifestyle is harming their health, but it isn’t until it begins to affect their sex life that they start to listen,” says Charles Walker, M.D., assistant professor of urology and cofounder of the Cardiovascular and Sexual Health clinic at Yale University.
