Poll: How much sex are people really having now?

by

Half a year ago, when the COVID-19 pandemic was rampant, we asked, “how often are you having sex?”

The COVID-19 Pandemic has made it increasingly difficult to maintain healthy relationships with our significant others. You may have had to social distance for longer durations, or maybe you had actually gotten sick of being cooped up together without a break. Interestingly, the majority of people answered that they had sex weekly; however, the second highest vote was rarely or never.

While we’re now seeing some hope for the pandemic from more vaccinations, AND it’s finally summer – has there been changes to your sex life? Find out what other couples are experiencing too after answering our short poll! 

Study: Less Sexual Desire Could Cause ED Years Later

by

Perhaps it would interest you to know that a sign that erectile dysfunction is on the way may come long before its physical onset.

That’s right, and you can bet that the people Boston Medical Group are probably more familiar with this subject than anyone else.

Last year, the results of a study involving 800 men were reported, and it was discovered that when men had less in the way of sexual desires and thoughts, it translated into a greater likelihood of developing ED than those who had normal sexual thoughts and desires.

The idea, one supposes, is that those thoughts, or lack thereof, are perhaps the beginning of a process of sexual dysfunction. In a way, that makes sense, because of the natural connection between thoughts and action as a part of the sexual function in general.

The American Urological Association reported the findings at their annual meeting last year, and while we don’t know why it took so long, the study in question took place between 1987 and 1997.

The group of men who took a survey and gave indications of reduced sexual desire were then re-visited and found to have ED at some level to a much more considerable degree.
