Your life choices have great impacts on your health.
More importantly, your life choices, habits and behaviour have long lasting impact on your sex life.
As a matter of fact, many of those facing sexual health challenges actually directly caused it through their lifestyle which they’ve lived with for a long while.
What Wha’anda is saying by implication is that you need to watch the things you do because of the possible effects on your sexual life.
Simply failing to sleep enough, deciding not to use a condom, eating junk food, etc. can come back to hurt you in the bedroom as weak erection, premature ejaculation, infertility or even life threatening sexually transmitted diseases.
Here are a few things you should watch out for…
-
Drinking and smoking too much is bad for your sex drive and your overall health. These habits can decrease your sexual performance significantly.
-
If you gain weight but don’t exercise, you’re setting up yourself for disappointment in the bedroom because your sex drive and performance will definitely suffer. It is important to note that diabetes and high cholesterol levels which are all linked to obesity can also affect your libido. The way out is to stay fit by eating right and exercising.
-
Ignoring penis-area infections may leave you with a disease that you cannot manage. As soon as you notice an itch, rashes, boils, sores and anything out of the ordinary around your penis, get help and treat it.
-
Having sex with multiple partners without using condoms is now a thing among young people. But this is risky and very dangerous. You can get a sexually transmitted disease that will cause serious health complications.
-
Masturbate too frequently can cause weak erection and premature ejaculation. So you must learn to control your urge to masturbate.
-
Drugs abuse can have dire sexual side effects, and this is not only about controlled substances like cocaine and heroin. Even over the counter drugs like control pills, anti-histamines, decongestants, antidepressants cause erectile dysfunction, orgasm issues and low sex drive.
-
Skipping sleep too many times leaves your body weakened and unable to perform optimally. You should know that sleep is important to your sex life because the brain is needed to coordinate the sexual process. Where you are lacking sleep, this coordination will not happen rightly, leading to sex related problem.
If your sex life is important to you, you should ensure that you try to correct your lifestyle choices before it is too late and you have a big problem on your hands.
Sex is only worth it if it is healthy….
