Damage to blood vessels can reduce the enjoyment that women get from sex...

It is important not to forget that smokers are far more probable to suffer from erectile dysfunction than men who do not smoke. Statistics show that men who smoke in their thirties and forties put themselves at a double risk of erectile dysfunction when compared to those men who do not smoke. Health authorities have found that the warning that impotence may occur with smoking has been one of the most effective warnings for men to give up smoking. Cigarette packets in the United Kingdom often have a warning on them that says that smoking can cause impotence.

Smoking is said not only to damage small blood vessels which are very important for health but is also thought to affect the all important smooth muscle that makes up part of the erectile function process in the male penis. Another thing that people should be aware of is that smoking does not just affect the sexual function of a man but is also very probable to have an affect on the enjoyment of sex and the libido of a woman. Female sexual function is also known to be linked to good blood flow to the female genital organs and that is why smoking and damage to blood vessels can reduce the enjoyment that women get from sex.

From research done it has been seen that men who quit smoking will see the effects of improved sexual function even after a period of only two weeks. If you are suffering from a declining erectile function it may well be that the first thing for you to do is to quit smoking and get fit and thus you could spare yourself the extra expense of buying erectile dysfunction medications like Viagra, Cialis or Levitra. You could also be investing in your future sexual health and ultimately your overall health and quality of life too.
