FYI Health Tip
While 10 percent of men suffer from erectile dysfunction, marijuana is not the cause.

Marijuana is not to blame for your erectile dysfunction, Don Juan stoners. A recent research review suggests the root of your sexual problems is probably not from smoking pot. Before you puff your way into the sack, to be clear there is very little research on this topic at all. The authors of the review concluded more research was needed to explore the effects of pot on sex drive.

Loading ...More than one in 10 men suffer from erectile dysfunction and the problem is on the rise (no pun intended). There are a variety of reasons the problem is growing, mostly because we’re simply living longer. Plus, as we age we keep popping other pharmaceutical drugs to keep us “healthy.” The pills men are popping to combat depression, high blood pressure and balding are having a direct impact on the love organ. Indeed, a recent story suggests the anti-balding drug Propecia may cause sexual dysfunction.
It would make sense that since other drugs have an impact on sexual functioning, pot may as well. However, according to one large study involving 4,350 men who were screened for use of pot and its sexual effects, “The authors report no link between frequency of cannabis use and trouble keeping an erection.” As many studies have failed to find an association between pot smoking and sexual problems, there have been studies that have tried to prove the reverse. Indeed, in 1970, one research study concluded ”Cannabis use intensified sexual arousal, increased sexual thoughts, and prolonged sexual performance.” Since pot is a mind-altering drug, some people could very well enjoy sex more while stoned.
The problem with most of the research was that it was based on self-reports. Most of the studies were small and involved animals not humans. There is no way to determine whether the specific cause for erectile dysfunction alone is smoking pot or because of myriad other reasons. Basically what the researchers concluded was after looking at all of the evidence, most of the studies suggest that pot does not cause erectile dysfunction.
Either way fellas, if you are concerned about your sexual problems consider trying a natural aphrodisiac: Yohimbine, an extract of West African yohim trees, is prescribed to dilate pupils and is approved by the FDA for this purpose. It was also a precursor to today’s erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs.

Marijuana Does Not Impact Male Sexual Performance
Summary
Marijuana or cannabis is one of the most widely used illegal drugs worldwide. There is speculation that excessive use of this drug may affect male sexual health. This review attempted to look into this issue by examining earlier published scientific evidence. It was found that there are few studies that examine the link between male sexual disorders and cannabis use. Some human studies have found that cannabis may enhance erectile function in males, but animal studies have shown that cannabis may have the opposite effect.

bitchiness and dressing down around the house is a major cause of sexual dysfunction. Many women havent figured this out after being married for years. Men need visual stimulus, just ask Hugh Hefner.

I always said that Cannabis is markedly pro-evolutionary, as it increases appetite, induces rest, suppresses violent urges and enhances sexual experience. Many obvious facts will be confirmed by science as the time goes on!
