Sex and health are deeply intertwined. Here at Badd Kitty adult stores, we want you to be healthy AND happy. Especially as men age, keeping sexually active can contribute to a man's overall health and happiness. Sexual health should always be considered an important piece of the overall health puzzle for everyone.

First and foremost is prostate health. Prostatitis, an inflammation or infection of the prostate, and prostate or colon or rectal cancer can be a huge factor in men's health, especially as men age. These issues and their treatments can cause low testosterone, which can lead to a host of other health problems such as obesity, inflammatory illness, and pituitary gland tumors. The first sign of prostate problems is usually erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction should not always be taken as a sign of a bigger problem, however. While most men experience some instances of erectile dysfunction at various times in their lives, prolonged suffering of erectile issues should always be discussed with your healthcare provider. Something as simple as a urinary tract infection can both be a cause of underlying problems or a sign of them. Knowing your own body, and reacting when there is something wrong is your greatest tool for taking control of your health.

There are things men can do to avoid some of these issues and mitigate the impact of others. Number one is regular exercise. Getting the blood pumping through exercise can be a literal boon for your overall cardiovascular health. Exercise can also lead to lower stress levels, which can directly benefit a more active and healthy sex life. Keeping up with health exams like blood sugar and testosterone levels, urinalysis when you suspect issues, and regular prostate exams can ensure none of these factors go unchecked, and your sex drive will thank you.

Keeping your mental health in check goes a long way to a healthy sex life as well. Keeping on top of stress, anxiety, depression, and other common mental health factors helps to elevate sex drive. Take time for self-care, and talk to your therapist or another healthcare provider about any problems that arise or persist. The longer these issues are allowed to go unchecked, the longer both your mental health and your sex life can suffer. Be sure to follow your therapist’s instructions and take any prescribed medications as directed. Stress directly affects testosterone production and depression can increase blood pressure which can also affect your erection.

Beyond erectile dysfunction issues, men can experience premature ejaculation, delayed orgasm, or even the inability to ejaculate. These issues directly affect your ability to enjoy sex fully and should be treated as the important health issue they are.

Keeping happy and healthy in your sex life is an important facet of men's health. Taking steps to be in control of healthy sex life and maintaining your sex drive can reward you and your partner. Keep this in mind going forward with your health care options.
