In a study conducted in 2013 by The Journal of Sexual Medicine, an association was found between gum diseases and the liability of experiencing erectile dysfunction. The study was quite interesting as it showed that the chronic inflammation caused due to various kinds of gum diseases, damages the endothelial cells that line the blood vessels. These blood vessels are also present in your penis, thus causing an erectile dysfunction. Consult your dentist as soon as you experience any gum problems.

Stress affects your sexual performance.
4 of 5
Of all the bad affects that stress brings into your body, a poor sexual performance is certainly one of them. Stress increases your heart rate and in turn your blood pressure, which are damaging to your sexual desire and your performance. Moreover, psychological stress can also affect you in achieving an erection or an orgasm. Stress also triggers bad habits like alcoholism, smoking, etc, which gravely affects your libido. Conversing with your partner can help in bringing your stress down. Exercise helps to reduce stress and thus improve your libido and health.

It has been found out that, the smaller a man s waist is, the better his sexual performance will be. Go that extra mile while running to keep yourself in shape and get a good sex out of it.
