Study: Weight loss aids erectile function
Wednesday, June 23, 2004 Posted: 10:44 AM EDT (1444 GMT)

CHICAGO, Illinois (Reuters) -- Obese men with difficulties in getting an
erection can improve their sexual function by exercising and losing weight,
Italian researchers have said.

Of 110 men attending a weight loss clinic, half undertook an intensive
program and those who exercised more each day and lost more weight scored
better on a measure of erectile function two years later.

"Our data demonstrate that lifestyle changes, including a reduced calorie
diet and increased exercise, improve erectile function in obese men and
resulted in about one-third of men with erectile dysfunction regaining
sexual function after treatment," wrote study author Katherine Esposito of
the Center for Obesity Management, Second University of Naples, Italy.

Improving blood circulation, a benefit to overall cardiovascular health,
was the main reason cited for higher scores on erectile function tests,
Esposito wrote in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

The second group of men received only general advice about healthy food
choices and exercising and they scored just as poorly as before.

About 30 million American men have erectile dysfunction, which affects an
estimated 12 percent of men younger than 59 and 30 percent older than 69.

Now I have a problem whether this is amusing or not. Fact is, one of
the most despressing experiences in my life was when my oldest son
asked "Dad, how long ago was it when you last saw your dick?" It was
one of the many last straws which shocked me into TRT - which caused
me lose 30 pounds and made my manhood visible again. So presently I
can laugh heartily at such an observation, but 5 years ago it was not
so funny.

On another note, losing fatty tissue can reduce aromatization and thus
might increase total T . And exercise is said to increase T as well.

As a female, I welcomed the sight of my toes as the pounds melted.

So, how do they measure changes in "erectile function".
Do they take the chap's word for it, or is there a scale, or a springy thing
that measure bounce vs tension??

But at the root of it a stiff approach is required.

It was done by a questionnaire, so in other words, they took the
chaps' words for it. Here's the relevant text from the article:

"Erectile function was assessed by completing questions 1 to 5 on the
International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), which is a
multidimensional questionnaire.13 The 5 questions asked were (1) How
often were you able to get an erection during sexual activity?; (2)
When you had erections with sexual stimulation, how often were your
erections hard enough for penetration?; (3) When you attempted sexual
intercourse, how often were you able to penetrate (enter) your
partner?; (4) During sexual intercourse, how often were you able to
maintain your erection after you had penetrated (entered) your
partner?; and (5) During sexual intercourse, how difficult was it to
maintain your erection to completion of intercourse? The IIEF score
represents the sum of questions 1 to 5, with a maximum score of 25; a
score of 21 or less indicates erectile dysfunction."

randomized controlled trial. Esposito K, et al. JAMA. 2004 Jun

I agree with the study.  Weight loss and exercise greatly helps.  

I'd like to add another big factor that is not mentioned in the
study:  8 hours of SLEEP.

It works wonders and almost as good as viagra.

Yup, plus every 35lbs (IIRC) of lost lard adds an inch to the length
of your dick :)

Bonker.

Studies show the more weight an obese woman loses, the more she'll improve
a man's erectile function.

Studies also show that blood loss from the brain slows IQ. This is a
case in point when idiots worship a woman between her knees and her
belly button.

If you want a perfect women go f.ck a photograph.

Is that somewhat akin to a woman who is attracted to a male by judging
the lower half of his body.  There is a lame brained woman who
frequently posts here that does that and then even puts messages on
the NG to that effect.
What is ironic is that the woman in question cannot attract any men at
all except what comes off the bottom of the heap, the rejects.

Until you can see me sitting at the keyboard you will be the idiot

mess give a damn about you and what you think?

I sure as hell don't.

Your admission that obese women are undesirable is duly noted.

Excessively fat women look ugly. It is impractical to try and have sex when
she's 100lbs overweight and the weight is all fat - but most women ain't
that big.

You of course do know what a lot of Asian women prefer, right? Besides,
after f.cking a cute asian chick, experience tells me it isn't all that
except that she looks good on your arm. In bed it ain't much at all. If the
lights go out, any guy whose hormones are more fixed on performance than
looks, is going to go to sleep right there and then.
