The Very Real Male Organ Health Risks of Smoking
It’s the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the
United States, causing about 20% of all deaths in the country. And
although current cigarette use has declined from about 21% to about 15.5%, smoking
is still too common. While many articles focus on issues like lung cancer when
discussing smoking, it’s important to realize that smoking can have
far-reaching consequences – including effects in the realm of male organ
health.
The ways in which smoking can potentially affect male organ health
are numerous:
- Size. It’s
absolutely no secret that many – perhaps most – men are very concerned about
their manhood size. Society’s idea of an appealing man includes the requirement
that he be larger than average in the manhood department, despite the fact that
skill is far more important than size when it comes to performance and
satisfaction. Yet some studies have indicated that smoking can in time actually
cause the member to shrink. This is due to an effect that smoking has on
elastin, which aids the member in stretching when it becomes hard.
- Sperm. Men who are interested in becoming fathers want to be sure
that their sperm is protected, which is another reason to give up smoking. A
2016 study looked at sperm functional tests in a group of 20 men who smoked and
in a group of 20 men who did not smoke. Among the group of men who smoked,
there was a significant reduction in the sperm quality in three key areas which
could negatively impact a man’s ability to conceive a child.
- Sensitivity. The reason why intimate contact feels so good is because the
nerves in the member are so wonderfully sensitive. If something happens to
impact that sensitivity, then coupling doesn’t feel as good as it could.
Smoking is thought to have an impact on sensation, as well. It’s a bit
complicated, but basically the body reacts to toxins in smoke by sending out
white blood cells. An overabundance of these cells can block the accessibility
of the nerve endings in the member, dampening the sensations that are desired.
- Smooth muscle. Those who are familiar with the anatomy of the member know
that the so-called smooth muscle in the member plays a big role. Basically,
when the smooth muscle fiber relaxes, there’s an increase in blood pressure and
blood flow, which fills up the soft tissue in the member so that it can become
rigid. But too much smoking can cause damage to the smooth muscle, so that it
doesn’t relax properly – and that can have an impact on a man’s reproductive
health. One study indicates that men who smoke are more likely to have “looser”
tumescence, for example.
- Reproductive function in general. Men who smoke have a greater chance of reproductive
dysfunction in general. There are several reasons for this, one of them being
that the chemicals released from smoking can damage the linings of blood
vessels, making them less capable of performing their important task of
increasing blood flow for tumescence to take place. Smoking-related damage to
the heart also affects the body’s ability to pump blood at the desired rate,
and a decrease in stamina also plays a role in decreasing reproductive
function.
Men who smoke are encouraged to take steps to break the habit,
which can be very difficult. Working with a doctor or other professional may be
required. It can be challenging, but it is well worth the effort.
Stopping smoking can be a boon to male organ health, as can daily
use of a first class male organ health creme (health professionals
recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin).
The best cremes contain both L-arginine and L-carnitine. L-arginine helps boost
nitric oxide production, thereby better enabling manhood blood vessels to
expand. Sensitivity can be better maintained with L-carnitine, which has
neuroprotective properties to benefit the member.
