Smoking cigarettes is known to cause a number of health problems, which may include lowering your sperm count and semen production. There are many toxins in cigarettes and marijuana, many of which can cause diseases and health problems that often last a lifetime. A lower sperm count will increase your chance of infertility and can have profound effects on your overall sex life, including erectile dysfunction. We intend to clarify the issues between smoking and male semen production in this article.
Most people know about toxins in cigarettes, including tar, cyanide, ammonia, and many other things that are bad for your health. Some of the things that smoking causes includes cancer, emphysema, asthma, and many more diseases. These are all common knowledge, but did you know that cigarettes are harmful to men's sex drive, sperm production, fertility, and overall sexual performance.
Many studies have found an increased incidence of infertility, as well as decreased sperm production in male smokers. Another thing that studies have found is an increased percentage of abnormal sperm and sperm with poor motility (swimming motions, crooked tails, etc.). Such defects effectively lower male fertility without lowering sperm count, which is another unfortunate side effect of smoking. Smoking has also been said to make semen taste very bitter, which can lead to hurt feelings in the bedroom.
Besides reducing male fertility, smoking can ruin sex drives and overall virility. There is a link that has been found between smoking and impotence, for example. Many heavy smokers complain about weak erections and erectile difficulties. Another aspect of smoking before having sex is turning your partner off if they are a non-smoker. During sex, most women don't want to smell cigarettes on your breath, so make sure you don't smell like smoke just before you some to bed.
As you can probably tell, smoking is detrimental to your sperm production as well as your virility. From the increased chance of infertility to the higher rate of impotence, cigarettes and marijuana are both harmful to your sex life. Quitting smoking is not easy to do, but something that needs to be considered if you plan on having a healthy life and healthy family.
