That feeling of satisfaction a man gets whenever he satisfies his partner after intimacy could be likened to none. As a man, you ought to be a king while making love, and becoming a king means that there are some sacrifices to be made and these sacrifices include getting rid of those habits that could affect your performance.
If you want to be successful while making love, you should take note of these three bad habits/addictions that could ruin your performance during intimacy.
1. The habit of sleeping late/not getting enough sleep
There’s no harm in staying up late while trying to catch up with your schedules or being stuck in an interesting movie. However, it could become very bad if you form the habit of sleeping late or not getting quality sleep.
As an adult, you’re supposed to sleep at least 7 hours a day, anything below that is not good for your health and it can come with terrible consequences if you make it part of your lifestyle.
Apart from an increased risk of heart diseases, high blood pressure, stroke, or obesity, poor sleep can ruin your performance during intimacy.
According to sleep foundation, lack of sleep can lead to s*xual dysfunction. Studies have also shown that lack of sleep can affect the production of hormones such as testosterone in men, lack of sleep is also linked to er*ctile dysfunction (inability to maintain an er*ction).
2. Habit of watching blue films
Having a sneak peek at adult movies isn’t deemed harmful, some say it helps them get in the mood. However, adult movies could negatively affect our brain, lifestyle, and performance during intimacy if it becomes an addiction.
According to studies, excessive watching of blue films could make a man feel less stimulated by his partner and could make it hard for him to have or maintain an er*ction.
Adult movies could increase your desire to make love but it could make it hard for you to get stimulated by your partner because your brain can get used to those ‘better things’ you see on screen and you wouldn’t be entirely moved or excited by your partner.
3. The habit of drinking alcohol
There’s no harm if we sometimes take one or two bottles while chilling with friends. Some do say that it helps them get rid of stress and anxiety. However, making alcohol your habit means drinking it regularly and it could be harmful to your health in several ways. Apart from increasing your risk of having cancers, kidney, respiratory, heart, and liver problems, it can badly affect your performance during intimacy with your partner.
According to studies, excessive intake of alcohol could lead to er*ctile dysfunction, loss of l*bido, and premature ejaculation.
Tips for better performance
• Set a sleep timetable for a better sleeping habit and try taking short naps during the day if you can’t meet up to sleep well at night. You could also try taking a nap before intimacy, it could help increase your energy.
• Don’t drink excess alcohol before intimacy
• Always eat foods that could help improve your blood flow because an improved blood flow means an improved er*ction. According to studies, these foods could help improve your blood flow.
