Drugs
That Interfere With Erection Or Ejaculation
|
Illicit
drugs, over the counter and prescription medicines can be
a problem for men's ability to perform sexually. For example,
many painkillers compete with testosterone for the testosterone
receptors on a man's tissues and thereby cause a decline
in sexual responsiveness.
Male
sexual performance can be a fragile thing. The first questions
to ask when a man is having sexual problems concern diabetes,
excessive use of drugs, alcohol or injury.
