10 Secrets To Get Stronger Erections

 

2) Put in some time on your Kegel exercises.

According to Robert Valenzuela, MD, a board-certified urologist and medical adviser for Promescent, the pelvic floor muscles have a part in sexual activity and should be strengthened. “Contractions of the pelvic floor muscles (known as Kegels) contribute to an increase in the penile pressure and the stiffness of the penis,” according to the researchers. For the uninitiated, Kegel exercises (during which you tighten and release your pelvic floor muscles) might aid in the strengthening of your erections. Here are some pointers on how to go about doing Kegel exercises correctly.

 

According to Michael Ingber, MD, a urologist and urogynecologist at Garden State Urology, kegel exercises are also a component of a technique known as “penis rehabilitation.” “In the same way that you could visit a physical therapist after having shoulder surgery to work on the muscles, strengthening them, and improving range of motion, the same is true for the penis, the muscles, and nerves that are involved in erectile function.”

 

 In order to prevent this from happening, many urologists prescribe early penile rehabilitation, which includes Kegels, after events that impact the erectile nerves of the penis, such as prostate cancer surgery. “This is done in combination with medicinal medicines such as Viagra,” Ingber explains further.

 

3) Pay attention to what you consume.

According to WebMD, research has shown that foods that are bad for the heart are also terrible for the penis—which makes sense, given that both the heart and the penis rely on blood flow to operate effectively. The Mediterranean diet, which consists of fruits, whole grains, heart-healthy fats such as nuts and olive oil, red wine, and vegetables, is an excellent place to begin your health journey.

 

 

In an interview with WedMD, Irwin Goldstein, MD, head of sexual medicine at Alvarado Hospital in San Diego, said that “the relationship between the Mediterranean diet and increased sexual performance has been scientifically proven.”

 

 

4) Make a trip to the gym.

Aerobic activity, says Dr. Ryan Berglund of the Cleveland Clinic, is essential for maintaining good erections. “There’s nothing that increases bloodflow more than aerobic exercise,” he says. Additionally, it increases the body’s nitric oxide production, which aids in the maintenance of erections.

 

 

While running is beneficial, avoid riding your bike if at all possible. Cycling endurance athletes who spend a significant amount of time on their bike seats may have greater problems with erectile dysfunction, according to Erin Michos, MD, an associate professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

 

“This is due to the fact that bike riding may constrict the pudendal artery, which supplies blood to the penis,” Ingber explains further. A customized bike seat (split-seat) combined with specific shorts may assist to avoid ED, according to the researchers.

 

 

5) Put the smokes out of sight.

An study by the University of Kentucky discovered that when asked to score their sex life on a scale of 1 to 10, men who smoked received an average rating of 5, but men who did not smoke had an average rating of 9.

One explanation is that smoking is a well-known cause of impotence, and there is some evidence that smoking has an effect on erection strength—as well as the size of the erection. Smokers’ penises were found to be smaller than those of non-smokers in one study, according to the findings of the researchers.

 

Goldstein explains that smoking, “in addition to harming blood vessels, may cause damage to penile tissue itself, making it less elastic and preventing it from extending.”

We have yet to hear a more compelling argument to give up.

 

 

6) However, have a pot of coffee simmering.

Coffee, despite the fact that it is one of the most detrimental things you can do to your erection is to smoke, may really benefit you below the belt. According to a research conducted by the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, men who drank the caffeine equivalent of 2-3 cups of coffee per day were less likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction than those who chose to start their day with caffeine-free drinks.

 

7) Have a vasectomy performed.

If you’ve reached the end of your reproductive cycle (or you’re certain you don’t want children), you may want to consider investing in permanent upgrades at your sperm factory.

For some males, the possibility of a contraceptive failure may be a major cause of concern. This is particularly true for those who have had a birth-control disaster—or a scare—in the past, says Karen Donahey, Ph.D., head of Northwestern University’s sex- and marital-therapy department.

It is possible that this concern may manifest itself in erection issues, creating the same vicious cycle that makes performance anxiety such a mood killer.

 

However, if there is no sperm present, the likelihood of becoming pregnant is very low: Vasectomy is 99.9 percent successful when it is done appropriately. – According to Planned Parenthood, the surgery might cost anywhere from $0 and $1,000, depending on your insurance coverage and other factors.

 

According to Ingber, “many of my patients wind up paying $0 for them if they have high-deductible health insurance.” In many cases, we may do these procedures in the office setting under local anesthetic, which can reduce costs for certain patients.

8) Maintain your commitment.

It is normal for guys who begin having affairs to experience a decrease in erections. It’s so prevalent, in fact, that physicians who treat erectile dysfunction often inquire of their patients about whether or not they’re experiencing any negative effects.

In most relationships, unless you’re in an open or polyamorous relationship, you’re sure to experience a pang of guilt whenever you have sexual encounters with your spouse. Anxiety may result from guilt, and this might prevent an erection from occurring.

 

 

9) Lower your chance of developing diabetes.

According to the Mayo Clinic, erectile dysfunction is widespread among those who have diabetes (particularly type 2 diabetes). Because of the illness’s dual impact on the penis, it increases the progression of vascular disease while also slowing the transmission of impulses along neurons throughout your body. And, believe us when we say that a numb penis is not a happy penis.

 

Kind 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes among people in the United States. There are many strategies to avoid it, including eating the correct meals and engaging in regular physical activity. Additionally, you should be cautious in testing your blood sugar (talk to your doctor about the best methods).

 

 

 

 

10.Take a testosterone test to find out how much testosterone you have.

Low testosterone has no direct effect on the systems that control your erection, but it does have an effect on your desire, making it more difficult to become turned on—and hence more difficult to get hard. If you observe an unusual decrease in your sex desire, or if you have any of the symptoms of low testosterone, you should see your doctor to determine if your testosterone levels are lower than they should be. If they are, your doctor may assist you in restoring your testosterone levels to levels that are within normal range.
