Does smoking increase sex drive?
Unfortunately for all you nicotine addicts out there, smoking does
NOT increase sex drive. In fact, smoking can reduce genital blood flow, and
even reduce overall size of the man's meat giraffe...not to mention
making his teeth yellower!
But don't fear, there are quite a number of natural herbal options
that increase men's and women's sex drive, but first let's learn
more about the psychological and physical factors that are
involved in sex drive.
There are five major areas involved in human sexuality and sex drive:
1. Psychological/Mental--The causes of psychological sexual
dysfunction resulting in low male and female sex drive are
numerous, and it is difficult to list them all, but most often low
sex drive is related to depression, performance anxiety, marital
stress or relationship problems, life crisis, financial difficulties,
religious or moral repression, or some type of mental condition or
illness.
2. Hormonal--Androgens, such as testosterone, are a major component
of sex drive. Testosterone levels decline about 1 percent each
year in men, which may contribute to lower male sex drive with
aging. Testosterone also declines with age in women leading to a
decrease in female sex drive. Women who have had surgical removal
of the ovaries notice a drop in sexual interest. Replacement of
androgens can be helpful in those with age related sexual
dysfunction. Testosterone is available by prescription only. An
over the counter hormones, such as DHEA, converts into
testosterone and thus increase sex drive. Pregnenolone is another
over the counter hormone that may increase testosterone levels and
thus enhance sex drive. However, hormone use has drawbacks due to
potential side effects. A better option is to use natural herbs
that increase sex drive.
3. Vascular--Alterations in the flow of blood to and from the penis
are thought to be a common cause of male erectile dysfunction. For
instance, medical conditions such as atherosclerosis (hardening of
the arteries), high cholesterol, hypertension, or diabetes reduce
blood flow to the penis and genital organs thus leading to
difficulty with erection or genital swelling. Additional factors
that can impede blood flow include penile injury, surgery in the
pelvic or abdominal area, and sitting on a bicycle too long. Men
who log several thousand miles a year on their mountain bikes
suffer scrotal damage that could reduce their fertility.
4. Neural--Nerve damage from disorders such as diabetes, multiple
sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke affect the brain’s
ability to respond to sexual stimulation. In women, abdominal or
pelvic operations can occasionally lead to nerve damage. Sexual
dysfunction is common in men undergoing surgical treatment for
prostate enlargement or cancer.
5. Chemical--Some chemicals involved in the human sexual response
and sex drive include dopamine, acetylcholine, and nitric oxide.
