According to the survey, among 440 erectile dysfunction patients, 30% were smokers, and the smoking time and the number of cigarettes smoked per day were directly proportional to the degree of erectile dysfunction. Smoking can not only lead to a weakening or inhibition of sexual function, but also harmful substances in cigarette smoke can damage the venous valves of the penis, causing insufficient blood flow to the penis, thereby affecting erection.
For a long time, people have relied on alcohol to enhance their libido, viewing fine wine as a partner for love-making. Studies show that if men drink strong liquor averaging over 250 milliliters per day, after 2-5 years, the survival rate of sperm will significantly decrease, and the concentration of testosterone in the blood will also drop. Moreover, about 40% of men may experience erectile dysfunction, while 10% may develop complete impotence. However, after quitting alcohol, only 50% of individuals are able to return to normal. Clearly, the belief that alcohol can boost courage and improve the quality of sexual life is extremely wrong.
Alcohol is the culprit that disrupts marital sexual harmony, but the effects of alcohol and smoking on sexual function are reversible. As long as you have the determination to completely quit smoking and drinking, after some time, the sexual function of most men can gradually return to normal levels.
