If you smoke, you could be hurting yourself in more ways than one. Sure, it’s bad for your lungs and your heart, but it could also be preventing you from reaching climax. More research has been done on men than on women, but there is research on both genders, and it says that people who smoke don’t have as much sex and it’s not as satisfying. This is especially true in men. Many of them who struggle with erectile dysfunction are smokers or former smokers. Even if they quit smoking some time ago, the length of time that they smoked and the amount that they smoked are both very significant.
A lot of people really enjoy lighting up after sex, but if they knew what it was doing to their sex life, they might consider quitting. For women, smoking decreases their fertility and reduces blood flow to their ovaries. It also brings on menopause at an earlier age in many women, and that can give them a higher risk for heart disease, cancer, and other problems. Women over 35 shouldn’t smoke if they take birth control pills, either. There are a lot of reasons for not smoking, but a lack of a satisfying sex life is a definite reason for a lot of people to consider quitting.
