Alcoholism & Smoking
hampers Male Sexuality
Addiction of any nature has a negative impact on our
health. A recent study showed that men who smoked one
pack of cigarettes a day for five years were 15 percent
more likely to develop clogging in the arteries that
serve the penis, a situation that can cause impotence.
In addition, heavy smoking decreases sexual capability
by damaging the tiny blood vessels in the penis. The
use of marijuana and cocaine also can result in impotence
and hamper the male sexual performance.
A recent study found out that impotence was equally
common among smokers and non-smokers in general. However,
among men with certain health problems, those who smoked
were much more likely to have potency problems. For
example, 56 percent of smokers with heart disease were
completely impotent compared with only 21 percent of
non-smokers with the disease.
Alcohol, a very popular form of addiction in men also
bears negative impact. Its intake decreases the body's
ability to produce testosterone. Research at Chicago
Medical School revealed that drinking alcohol may cause
the hormonal equivalent of menopause in men. Alcohol
not only affects sexual
function, but also increases the risk of heart attack
and other dangerous conditions.
Excessive alcohol consumption disrupts hormone levels
and can lead to nerve damage. This type of impotence
may be reversible or permanent depending on the severity
of the nerve damage. Some clinical studies suggest about
25 percent of all alcoholics become impotent at some
opint of time even after they stop drinking.
Negative impacts of alcohol:
a). Alcohol affects accuracy and consistency of a task
more so than it affects speed.
b). Significant memory loss occurs with high doses of
alcohol and may develop into blackouts involving amnesia.
c). Larges doses of alcohol hampers sexual performance.
d). Sex lives become disturbed deficient, and ineffectual.
e). Its consumption can result in Impotency.
When treatment of underlying physical or psychological
problems fails to restore potency, a man and his sexual
partner can consider one of the available solutions.
The most popular treatments for impotency are described

However, the latest erectile
dysfunction treatment Cialis is made by Eli Lilly
and biotechnology firm ICOS. Cialis is the latest competitor
of the successful erectile
dysfunction drug Viagra.
