Erectile Dysfunction
due to Obesity - How true it is?
If a disease affects the body’s metabolism, the
body loses its ability to absorb glucose into cells.
Glucose is used for energy in the body so when it can't
be absorbed the body doesn't have any energy. A person
can either be born with diabetes (type I), which is
genetic, or they can get it after birth, caused by obesity,
physical inactivity or other factors.
Severely overweight people are much more likely to
report poor sex lives. Obesity is a risk factor or aggravating
agent for approximately 30 diseases and/or conditions.
It affects multiple organs such as the heart; lung;
vascular skin; gastrointestinal; genitourinary system;
musculoskeletal; and psychiatric. Depression, Low self-esteem,
societal rejection and prejudice, lesser work and income
opportunities, marital, familial, social and sexual
problems add to the burden of the morbidly obese.
Sex is more likely to be impeded by anxiety than adiposity.
Fat men have even less opportunity for sexual interaction.
"Despite changing social and sexual norms,"
notes Dr. Bess, "men still are presumed to be the
sexual initiators, and such fat men are inhibited from
approaching woman by the fear of rejection. This reticence
can lead to social and sexual isolation." Obese
persons who are not able to attract sexual partners
engage in normal autoerotic masturbatory activity.
In fact, a fat man should be prepared to find that
his weight adds to his partner's pleasure. "The
stimulating aspect of a fat man is manifested in the
way he uses his weight to apply intense titillating
pressure on the woman's genital area," writes Lisa
Davis. "What with the physical power of most men,
physical weight is not a necessity for a man to make
his presence felt, but it can be an advantage.
Long-term use of alcohol, nicotine, cocaine and marijuana
can also lead to Obesity and Impotency.
About 3% of men suffer from a testosterone deficiency,
which causes impotence. An excess of prolactin, a hormone
produced by the pituitary gland, can cause the testosterone
level to drop, thereby lessening the male sex drive.
In order to get rid of obesity, many physicians
have recommended the following exercises:
- Aerobic exercise: continuous for 12 to 20 minutes
minimum at 80 percent maximum heart rate, six times
per week.
- The best exercise is walking. Another good routine
is bicycle riding.
- Avoid competitive sports, especially if you
are obese.
- See your medical doctor before starting an exercise
program.
It is not necessary that you have to dedicate 30 minutes
to 90 minutes for exercise at one time. It is perfectly
Ok to break this into 10 or 15 minute increments. That
way you can do some workout during lunch time and in
the evening too.
The impotency which can be due to physiological reasons
can be solved through the Medical Treatment. Thirty
million men in the U.S. suffer from impotence or erectile
dysfunction. Most often, this is the result of some
underlying physical condition. Cialis has definitely
caught the attention of the world’s media. Television
reports, magazines, or newspapers are all filled with
news of this drug’s purported ability to improve
male sexual performance and virility.
