What Guys Are Saying About Their Health |

Peak Sexual Functioning
Some guys are afraid they'll lose their youthful sex drive or that their erections may lack strength and staying power. The good news: You can enjoy present and future sex by adopting certain lifestyle or medical approaches.
Action Rx:
Lifestyle changes that help increase libido and promote longer lasting, stronger erections include: regular aerobic exercise, such as jogging or fast walking for 20 minutes a day; at least eight hours of sleep a night; moderate alcohol consumption; and quitting smoking. (Both alcohol and nicotine use negatively affect sexual functioning.)
Great sex is your birthright, so if you experience changes in your sexual performance, see a doctor. Certain drugs diminish libido or promote impotence: Sometimes switching a prescription is all it takes to get back in the swing of things. While the prescription drug Viagra helps promote firmer and longer lasting erections, men with low libido may need testosterone replacement medication. Many men use the recently developed testosterone patch (worn under clothing, next to the skin), to help normalize sexual desire.
