As against the accepted notion that 'sex reduces with age and aging men are at a higher risk of Erectile Dysfunction (ED),' a new study has come out with astonishing result that says 'frequent sex augments erectile capacity of men.'
Erectile Dysfunction is a medical term, which defines: “The repeated inability of the male partner to attain or sustain an erection firm enough to carry-on and complete a sexual intercourse.”
Ageing men who don't take part in frequent sexual intercourse with their partner gradually lose their erection capacity and rather develop the ED. And, once reaching at the ED stage they gradually get distracted from the sexual activities and then despite heartiest desire could not satisfy their partner.
The study reveals the vital result in simple terms: “More sex, less ED risk.” In other words, the risk of erectile dysfunction was inversely proportional to the frequency of sex.
The researchers observed that men not indulging in sex even at least in a week were at the double risk of developing Erectile Dysfunction than those having sexual intercourse once in a week.
And, as the sex-in-a-week surpassed ‘thrice a week’ indulging men were able to cut their erectile dysfunction risk to almost one-fourth, compared to men who had less-than-weekly sex, researchers observed.
For the study, the team of researchers led by Juha Koskimaki, MD, PhD of Tampere University Hospital, Department of Urology, Tampere, Finland, analysed 989 men aged between 55 to 75 years for five years.
At the commencement of study no men had erectile dysfunction. During the period of study, 79 cases of erectile dysfunction per 1,000 men were reported among men who had sexual intercourse less than once a week. The number further dropped to 32 cases per 1,000 among men reported having sexual intercourse once a week. Not only that, the numbers further reduced to 16 per 1,000 men who had participated in sexual activities for thrice a week.
Koskimaki says about the result, “Regular intercourse has an important role in preserving erectile function among elderly men, whereas morning erection does not exert a similar effect. Continued sexual activity decreases the incidence of erectile dysfunction in direct proportion to coital frequency.”
The study is published in the July issue of The American Journal of Medicine.
