Smoking Reduces Sexual Desire

their sexual arousal was measured

Smokers say that one of the most pleasurable cigarettes they have is the one that they have often sex and it is ironic that smoking is not only responsible for higher levels of erectile dysfunction in men but it also lower levels of fertility in both men and women. According to Doctor Cindy Meston however smoking is not only responsible for the above but can even “significantly lower” the sex drive of a man. Her research shows that within a few minutes of a man having a cigarette he may be reducing his libido by as much as 25 percent.

Smoking Reduces Sexual Desire

The way she conducted this research was by giving one group of non smoking men a nicotine chewing gum and another group of men a placebo normal chewing gum. They were then made to watch a pornographic film and in ways which we are not going to divulge to you in this article their sexual arousal was measured. Doctor Cindy Meston says that it was quite clear that those men who used the nicotine gum had a lower sexual appetite compared to those who used the normal placebo chewing gum.

This research is fascinating because it is the first time that research can conclusively prove that the very act of smoking weakens the sexual desire of a man. Many people associate smoking with virility and sexual prowess whereas in fact the opposite has been shown to apply in many different research projects. There is not one aspect of sexual function, desire or ability that is enhanced by the act of smoking in both men and women.

Some people used to believe that because smoking increased a man’s heart rate somehow he would therefore sustain a better erection but this research has shown that the opposite applies.
