Sexuality for Men, Lifestyle Therapy

Lifestyle Therapy

A man's sex drive is dependent on testosterone and a good blood supply to the erectile tissue, factors that rely on good nutrition and exercise.

Eat zinc source foods: liver, oysters, nuts, seeds and legumes.
Dopamine (L-Dopa) is intimately associated with sex drive in men. One 16 oz. can of fava beans has almost a prescription dose!
Add mineral-rich foods like shellfish, greens and whole grains; EFA's from flaxseed and sea greens.
Eat fiber-rich foods like legumes, fruits and vegetables to avoid atherosclerosis of the penis.
Drink in moderation. Heavy drinking can lead to reduced erections.
Environmental estrogens in hormone-injected food animals, herbicides and pesticides affect male sperm counts and female hormone balance. Avoid hormone-injected meats and dairy foods, and herbicide-sprays
Extra weight means a smaller penis. Sexologists say a man loses 1/2 inch from his penis for every 15 pounds he gains. Extra weight causes protective fat pad to creep over the shaft.
Exercise can increase sex drive, especially exercise with your mate. Exercise like dancing, walking and swimming stimulates circulation and increases body oxygen. New research shows exercise is as effective as Viagra in men with heart problems who cannot use the drug.
Try aromatherapy oils dotted on your sheets. Sexuality-enhancing aromatherapy oils for men include: cinnamon, sandalwood, lavender, patchouli, coriander, jasmine and cardamom. Sexuality-enhancing oils for women are: ylang ylang, rose, clary sage, neroli and rosewood.

Prolonged recreational drug use inhibits sperm production.
Heavy metal or radiation damages sperm / chromosome structure.
Sexually transmitted diseases scar the vas deferens and testes, obstructing sperm delivery to the penis; infertility results.
Smoking, the cadmium contained in cigarette papers interferes with the utilization and absorption of zinc.
