People might be surprised to know that there is a link between sexual issues and diabetes. Since it is a sensitive subject, many men and women with diabetes fail to discuss how their medical condition might affect their sexual life. If they would discuss their concern with their doctor, perhaps there could be a care plan for them to follow. Quality Health reports that physicians may prescribe medications to treat sexual problems related to diabetes.

In some cases, sexual performance can be affected by diabetes. Diabetes can cause the loss of sexual desire and performance in both men and women. Up to 50 percent of men and 25 percent of women may experience some kind of sexual problems or a loss of sexual desire if they have diabetes, according to a report.

Almost one in three men with diabetes suffer from erectile dysfunction. Diabetes can cause damage to the nervous system over a sustained period of time. This situation is known as diabetic neuropathy when diabetes damages the erectile tissue leaving it impossible for a man to achieve or maintain an erection. In fact, erectile dysfunction is the way men might discover that they have diabetes. Some evidence indicates that women with diabetes might become unable to respond sexually when the clitoris fails to respond to stimulation.

Knowing that sexual problems may be linked to diabetes should be enough to get diabetics to discuss this concern with their primary care physician or their diabetic doctor. While diabetes is a disease, it doesn’t have to keep diabetics from enjoying a healthy sex life.

Sexual performance is a touchy issue — excuse the bad pun — and it could be even touchier when hooked up with how much men drink. Guys who want to avoid taking erectile dysfunction drugs, such as Cialis or the blue pill might want to back off the alcohol. Drinking alcohol can cause lasting damage to men’s sexual performance even after abstaining from the booze, a 2017 study suggests.

Researchers said men can suffer “the droop” for more than a year after giving up heavy drinking. Academics from Santo Tomas University in Columbia and the University of Granada in Spain said their results show that, overall, all dimensions (pleasure, arousal, desire and orgasm) were moderately impaired. Pleasure and orgasm being the two most significantly impaired. After even two weeks of abstinence, there was no improvement.

The Journal of Sexual Medicine study noted: It does not seem to be just a temporary problem because erectile ability was still affected after a year, and according to the results, did not seem likely to improve by just reducing drinking rather than quitting all together. This 2013 study reverses long-standing myth that alcohol does not cause performance problems. In fact, studies show that men with the disease of alcoholism have a 60 to 70 percent chance of suffering from sexual problems. Alcohol users were found to have lower pleasure scores, which only backs up years of speculation about alcohol and how it changes male performance and overall reproductive health.

So the booze may make it easier to get a few digits at the club, but the depressant can kill the fun later that night… and possibly later in life if the drinking continues.

The researchers also found that heavy drinkers tended to enjoy sex less, and less often, than those who don’t drink anymore. Might have something to do with how alcohol impacts other areas of relationships, too.
