Choose Cigarettes or Sex?

Standard warning about the dangers of smoking on cigarette packs sold in Indonesia is actually interesting to discuss. It read: "Smoking Can Cause Cancer, Heart Attack, Impotence, Pregnancy Disorders and the Fetus".

To say whether the ban was effective? Apparently not, because even if there is such a ban, especially the younger generation the number of smokers is increasing from year to year. This is certainly due to the massive tobacco advertising and blatantly targeting young people.


This matter must have been much discussed by writers anti-smoking people. This time who want to discuss something slightly different, especially of sexual function problems of people who smoke.

Cigarettes Affect Sex?

If you are smoking were asked "Choose smoking or sex? '. The answer to this question may be varied.

There probably are going to choose cigarettes, cigarette delayed an hour because it could make their heads spin, but if you postpone sex until a week it will not matter. But some are likely to tell you that sex is more important than smoking. Or a more 'smart' would probably answer 'Most delicious abis sex continue to smoke?'.

Actually, many studies that say and reveal the evidence that smoking makes decreased libido in men. It is not found in female subjects in the studies.

Besides decreased libido, smoking in the long term can lead to impotence. This is because the nicotine contained in cigarettes is a substance that is a vasoconstrictor of blood vessels. The effect on blood vessels is a way to tighten the blood.

No wonder people with high blood pressure are advised not to smoke. Hardening of the arteries will lead to poor blood flow and penis as a vascular organ fed to achieve an erection is also affected.

This problem can also occur in women. As is known the female sex organs such as the clitoris is a 'miniature penis' in the most minor. The clitoris may also swell during sexual stimulation and can give pleasure and even orgasm in women when distimulus.

It acts also similar with the penis, meaning the blood vessels around the clitoris will be filled if there is a stimulus. If women smoke and make their blood flow is not good due to hardening of the arteries, then what is happening can be likened to a man that is less passionate or difficult to achieve sexual satisfaction.

Although current smokers may feel there is no problem with the libido or sexual function, research has shown there are several things to be related to mechanisms of vasoconstriction caused by nicotine, a substance contained in cigarettes.

One of the most important is the erection. Smokers who smoke in large numbers and the length of time will recognize the difference may be a little hard erection if he's not smoking anymore.

Unfortunately, nicotine is the addictive substance, meaning that these substances cause dependence and will be very difficult to remove if the addiction. So could this person will never feel his erection without the influence of nicotine.

So choose cigarettes or sex?
