In case you need one more reason to quit smoking, recent studies suggest that smoking affects your sex life, especially for men. That’s a pretty powerful reason.
While an unfortunate fact of growing older is that there may be some performance problems in the bedroom, even men in their 20s and 30s who smoke report less vitality. This is not to suggest that females who smoke aren’t also affected sexually. But the research conducted using female subjects is minimal compared to research involving males.
If you believe everything you see on TV, once they hit middle age, men are past the point of having vital sex lives. That may be true for some. But a recent study of males (married and single) between 20 and 79 suggests that generally, the decade of their fifties is a pretty good time for men and sex. Not that a 50 year old male can expect to have the stamina and vitality of a young buck. Naturally that’s where youth has the advantage. But in terms of the big picture, fifty- something men are more satisfied with their sex lives than those in their 30s and 40s, and nearly as satisfied as those in their 20s.
