A trio of medical researchers has found that many men experiencing erectile dysfunction can overcome much of the problem by simply engaging in aerobic exercise.
Prior research has shown that many older men experience problems with achieving an erection when they want to have sex. In this new study, the researchers identified that some research has shown that erectile dysfunction is quite often associated with cardiovascular health and associated symptoms such as inflammation and narrowing and/or hardening of the arteries. They also noted that regular aerobic exercise has been shown to reduce symptoms of cardiovascular disease. This made them wonder if such an approach might work for men experiencing erectile dysfunction.
To find out, the researchers searched multiple databases of information related to research into erectile dysfunction. They found 11 randomized, controlled studies where some volunteers experiencing erectile dysfunction were given drugs to treat their symptoms while others were prescribed exercise.
The researchers found that prescribing aerobic exercise was nearly as effective as prescribing drugs like Viagra—provided the volunteers actually did the exercise prescribed. More specifically, out of 1,100 men involved in the trials, 600 followed an exercise regimen that involved engaging in 30 to 60 minutes of aerobic exercise three to five times a week. Another 500 volunteers served as a control group.
The researchers involved in the trials found that those volunteers who participated in the exercise regimens saw a 5-point improvement in erectile function. They also found that the more severe the condition, the greater the improvement. The researchers also noted that volunteers given Viagra or Cialis saw improvements of 4 to 8 points, while those given testosterone saw improvements of just 2 points.
The research team pointed out that exercise, unlike drugs, rarely had any negative side effects.

Exercise with a 23 year old named Cindy?
“So is a hot wife.”
That is critical! So many of my friends, who have professional working wives, will complain that not only are they rarely in the mood, but that their sex life lacks energy and excitement.
While some of that is to be expected with age and raising a family, my wife works out daily, is an avid runner, and changes it up to keep herself fit and tone.
Her vigor in that regard has made me much healthier, as I have followed her lead and go to the gym regularly with her and will walk 3-5 miles per day, weather permitting.
We’re in our 50’s and she regularly refers to me, (and my appetite for her), as her eternal 17 year old.
That works for me!
and together is even better as sildenafil opens the blood capillaries in the lungs increasing weight training performance too.
Bump t bump
If you want to have a good life then diet and exercise is the key.
Ask the women if “nearly as good” is as good as “a very intense, pleasurable orgasm that you feel to your toes”.
Duh?
