I recently read a snippet which stated that over one third of men who snore experience no sex life.
One might assume that with a person who snores, this simply means that their sleeping partner is in another room, leaving little to no chance for a sexual relationship.
This nonetheless, is not the only or even the biggest reason. Would it surprise anyone to learn that between sixty and eighty percent of those who experience sleep apnea suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED) ” the inability to achieve or maintain an erection.
The percentage intensifies, the more severe ones sleep apnea is. Why is this? Several theories abound.
The soundest possibility is that when one suffers from sleep apnea, an obstruction that occurs when soft tissue in the back of the throat collapses and in turn blocks the airway during sleep, vital oxygen necessary to health is not properly transported by the blood.
This in turn can lead to all sorts of health problems including stroke, kidney disease and hypertension (which can eventually lead to heart disease).
For the purposes of ED causes, hypertension would be the culprit. In reality, the most common cause of ED is hypertension (high blood pressure).
Another thought is that if one suffers from even mild sleep apnea, he stops breathing several times per night which them interrupts REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. It is believed that REM state erections are actually necessary to produce healthy conscious erections.
Snoring can also be a concern. Thou one may not stop breathing when one snores (if you can be heard in the next room, you probably have sleep apnea), breathing is still constrained and this in turn leads to less oxygen delivery to the body.
Risk factors for suffering ED due to sleep apnea include: being overweight, over age forty and alcohol or other drug abuse which can depress respiration.
Regardless of your reason for ED, I highly recommend my Erectile Dysfunction program. Its all natural and most importantly, it works! If you know snoring or mild sleep apnea are a problem for you, I also encourage you to try my Stop Snoring program.
