According to the British Daily Mail report, a large scale of survey has revealed that 40% of the couples are facing with problems like loss of libido. Dr.Michael Perlin, a medical experts and also the British sex therapist, who is also one of the supporter of this report, have pointed out that some unexpected facters in life may affect the sexual desire. Here are 15 of the most common killers.
1. Always Getting a ice-Cold Feet
One research from the University of Groningen in Netherlands shows that 80% female participants who wear socks while sleeping can reach orgasm. But only half of those who sleep on bare feet can have an orgasm. The research leader, Dr.Gilt Holstein says:"keeping the feet warm can increase the female's security and comfort. Wearing socks while sleeping or soaking the foot before bedtime is conducive to raising sexual desire.
2. Olfactory Disorder
More and more evidence shows that the smell plays an essential role in the sex drive and attraction. A study done by Dr.Ilina Kroy, the psychologist from University of Gothenbury, indicates that the male who lost their smell can have much less sexual desire than the normal ones. The olfactory disorder has led to diminished quality of sexual life by 83% for allergy sufferers.
3. To watch TV in the Bedroom
Italians reserchers have found that watching TV in the bedroom does not only affect the sex frequency, but also the quality. What make things worse is that the violent films or the real TV special programs would influence sexual interest and passion.
4. Taking Hair Growth Medicine
"The drugs for hair growth can easily reduce sexually active and make it difficult for men to erect eventually." Dr.Lada Modegier says, the sexual health expert from London,"This is because the pharmacology of the drugs is to inhibit androgen and the sexual function can be damaged by certain drugs in the following forty months or so."
5. Dental disease
A latest study done by Inonu University in Turkey, published in"Journal of Sexual Medicine" shows that the men with dental disease are three times more likely to have an ED risk than the normal ones. There are some similar risky factors between ED and dental disease, such as aging, smoking, diabetes and CVD.
6. Overdrinking
Dr. Perlin says:"Drinking a little can be helpful but overdrinking will influnce the physical balance and coordination which results in losing the feeling of skin pain." A recent research published in"Journal of Sexual Medicine" found that excessive drinking will have a long-term bad influence on sex. The cardiologist, Dr.Liam Jackson,the head of the British Sex Counseling Association, said that long-term drinking can cause the physical damage and affect the sex function.
7. A messy bedroom
Debbi Herbik, auther of " A Guide for Women's Sexual Pleasure and Satisfaction" has expressed that if your room is messy, it will spoil a romance mood and very likely to 'kill' the female sexuality.
8. Taking Oral Contraceptives
Dr.Modegier says:" several researches have shown that oral contraceptives can reduce the female's libido which may lead to less sexual arousal and lack of orgasm,and so on.." The reason is that the hormonal contraceptives will disturb the balance of the hormone in women. So in order to avoid such problems, women had better choose other methods of contraception.
9. Thyriod Problems
For women in their 40s and 50s, hypothyriodism can easily lead to the decrease in libido. Dr.Modegier says:" Hypothyriodism is easy to cause fatigue,depression, lack of motivation, the libido decreasing or comlpete loss. The drug treatment for hypothyroidism is an effetive way to solve the problems."
10. Obesity
Dr.Modegier also says that keeping a healthy body weight is the key to a satisfying sexual life. Obesity will alter the androgen levels in the body, and reduce the male and female sexual desire. The most damege part for Obesity is that it would reduce the blood flow, which not only increases the risk of heart disease, but also affects the normal play of sexual function for both men and women.
11. Taking Blood Pressure Medications
Dr.Jackson says that some certain blood pressure medications would have a bad effect on the sexual life. As the reports shows, Some of the elder users can not get erection after taking the medications for 2-4 weeks. You'd better see a doctor and consider a substitute for the blood pressure medications.
12. Depression
Dr.Ryan Glover,the British sexual health clinical nurse specialist,says:" Depression can reduce libido. Meanwhile taking antidepressants can inhibit the role of euphoric hormone "dopamine", which will relieve depression, but it also affects libido."
13. Diabetes
Dr. Jackson says:" The study has shown that 1/3 male diabetic patients have got ED problems. How badly you control your blood sugar level, then how seriously the ED problems can get. The key problem is that Diabetes can injure the blood vessels and affect the blood flow.
14. Prostate Problems
Ali Luke, a specialist nurse with Prostate Cancer in UK, says:" the drugs, like 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors, used to treat prostate enlargement can cause ED. Due to the prostate cancer surgery and chemotherapy, the peripheral nerves can be removed or damaged, which can easily lead to ED.
15. Arthralgia
Angela Jaklin, the occupational therapist with British Arthritis Research Institute, says:" Arthralgia is a big killer for sexual desire". The arthritis pain would get worse at night. For the patients, it would be very painful to turn over in bed, not to mention having sex. The couples should enhance the communication and choose a right period of time with less painful to have sex, which is very important.
Try these steps if you cannot see any effects in 1 hour after taking the hard 10 days:
1. It will be better to take the capsule with an empty stomach next time.
2. If you get frequent erection, please drink lots of water, 12 to 25 ounces at least.
3. Foreplay is very important, longer foreplay prepares the body and increases blood circulation.
4. Relax the muscles or take a shower before sexual intercourse! Stiff muscles will reduce the blood flow which leads to premature ejaculation.
5. Stop using immediately if undesirable effects develop.
6. Keep out of the reach of children.
7. DO NOT take if you are pregnant, have high blood pressure, diabetic, or have any heart disease/problem.
8. Store this product in a cool and dry place.
9. Do not take this pill with anything that may have nitrate in it.
