What Do Women Think About Penis Sizes?

by

When it comes to what women think about penis size, a vast majority (84%) think their partner’s penis is fine, according to a study from UCLA and Cal State LA. Only about 14% of women wished their partner has a large penis, and 2% actually wanted a small penis (read more about how to measure your penis).

More illuminating is the fact that women feel more satisfied than men about the size of penises. In almost every circumstance, men rated their penises as smaller than what women would rate it.

In this day and age of conversations about masculinity and a man’s role in the world, family and in a relationship, these questions about a key component of the male identity are understandable.

For a lot of men, their average penis size is a determining factor in how to feel about themselves as the male component in any healthy relationship. And being in a healthy relationship is itself a key component in being a happy person. So, “Does penis size matter?” is a question many men have as a consequence of this.

Heart Disease and its Connection to ED

by

Numerous studies have shown that you don’t have to get a heart attack to have heart disease. There are many forms of heart disease, and each of them has its different symptoms. Recognizing the symptoms and knowing how to deal with them are a key to maintaining proper health.

But heart disease can also gravitate into something else – erectile dysfunction. And if you have developed one, you know that there is a decent chance you’re going to develop the other.  A 2019 study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine states “the CVD risk of ED patients was significantly increased by 43%, CHD was increased by 59%, stroke was increased by 34%, and all-cause mortality was increased by 33%. Older individuals with ED (≥55 years), those with ED of a shorter duration (<7 years), and those with higher rates of diabetes (≥20%) and smoking (≥40%) were more prone to develop CVD. Additionally, severe ED was proven to predict higher CVD and all-cause mortality risk.”*

Do you experience shortness of breath? Do you get chest pains from time to time? Do you have the experience of feeling weak or dizzy from time to time? Do you get sick or nauseous more than you think you should? Do you sweat a lot more than should normally be expected under the circumstances?

All of these things could be signs that you have coronary artery disease. That means you could be a heart attack waiting to happen.

It also means that you could be much more likely to develop ED. It is not hard to imagine why; any time the normal flow of blood is upset, it will affect the process through which a male achieves erection, and by definition, that is exactly what happens in any form of heart disease.

Cholesterol and the foods a man eats can also contribute to a healthy heart and risk of coronary issues.  (what is cholesterol and what foods are healthy)

It is very difficult to treat patients for erectile dysfunction without having a full understanding of all of these principles. Proper testing and diagnosis from a doctor is always recommended when one has cardiovascular or ED symptoms.

Look for Zinc – It Fights ED!

by

There is a general medical consensus that one of the things that may cause a problem and lead to erectile dysfunction (ED) is a depletion of zinc in the body.

What can cause this? Well, one of the things is your diet. Another may involve the development of certain physical disorders and diseases. People with diabetes can have abnormally low zinc levels, for instance. “Proteomic analysis showed a significant decreased expression (P < 0.05) of 5 apolipoproteins and zinc..”*
Kidney disease is also characteristic of this kind of disorder.

What zinc does, as it directly relates to ED, is to increase the level of testosterone in the body.

So what can you do about it?

Well, you can alter your diet and include more foods that have a high zinc content to fight ED.

These foods may include turkey and chicken, for example, as well as beef. These foods are very high in protein; they are good for the heart and the reproductive system.

Whole grains fit the category of zinc-rich foods, and so does salmon. Remember also that shellfish is a healthy alternative from this perspective. This includes lobster, oysters, mussels and clams.  (also see: The 10 Best Foods that are High in Zinc)

You may want to consult with a physician if you have serious dietary concerns. For diet questions as they result in possible causes of ED, your best bet is to speak with a doctor who specializes in ED treatments.

High Blood Pressure and its Relationship to ED

by

There are certain medical conditions that might appear to be unrelated to erectile dysfunction that could actually have a very real bearing on it. One of those conditions is high blood pressure.

Blood flow to the penis is a necessary component of achieving an erection, and so it follows that any restriction on that is going to have an effect on erections, and the sexual performance that is associated with it.

High blood pressure is just what is implied from the name; it exerts a lot more pressure on the blood vessels, which makes blood flow a lot more problematic. As a result, the blood will have a much more difficult time flowing to the penis, and that is one of the things that directly causes ED.

To compound things, you could be taking medications for the purposes of dealing with high blood pressure that could contribute to the problem as well.

Don’t take any chances; there have been studies indicating such a connection that 65% (or more) of adult men with high blood pressure also develop erectile dysfunction. A recent study published by the International Society for Sexual Medicine (ISSM) indicates “Among adults diagnosed with hypertension, tighter blood pressure control, as measured by average systolic blood pressure and deviation from the average, is associated with a lower incidence and a longer time to the development of ED.”*

Alleviating high blood pressure thru lifestyle changes or medications can certainly help men with overall blood flow and thus many ED issues, but often more specialized treatment options are required.

What are the Symptoms of ED and How Common is it?

by

The signs of ED are varied and may differ from one man to another.

The condition is very common. Although most often seen in men over the age of 40, ED can affect men of all ages. According to the Massachusetts Male Aging Study, which was the largest-ever survey of male erectile dysfunction, is even more common than once thought.

52% of all men between the ages of 40 and 70 have some degree of erectile dysfunction (classified as mild, moderate or severe).
