More Coffee Linked to Longer Lasting Erections

And there is one more benefit of regular and healthy organic coffee. More coffee is linked to longer lasting erections! Forbes reports on a study published in the journal PLOS ONE. Coffee consumption is linked to decreased erectile dysfunction. That is to say if a man drinks more coffee he is more likely to be able to maintain an erection for the time desired.

According to a new study out in the journal PLOS ONE, caffeine intake is linked to reduced odds of having erectile dysfunction (ED) in men who drink the equivalent of two to three cups of coffee per day. Among the lifestyle factors that are known to put a man at risk of ED – poor diet, physical inactivity, smoking, and alcohol consumptions – caffeine has not been of the biggest candidates. But the new study suggests that like other areas of physical and mental health, ED may be another beneficiary of caffeine’s fascinating benefits. Since erectile function, and dysfunction, is in some ways an extension of cardiovascular health – and caffeine is known to have certain cardiovascular benefits – the idea that it could also help ED may not be so surprising. But for men who are devout coffee drinkers, the results may come as good news.

The odds of a man having difficulty maintaining an erection for the desired length of time is about 44 percent for men age 40 and over. For men over 70 the incidence of erectile dysfunction is 70 percent. So, just how much does coffee help?

What Is the Benefit of Coffee?

Researchers found that the caffeine equivalent of two to three cups of coffee a day were roughly forty percent less likely to have erectile dysfunction than those who do not drink coffee. The scientists believe that the benefit comes from caffeine. The benefit works for men who are overweight or frankly obese as well as men with hypertension, common reasons for erectile dysfunction. The caffeine in coffee does not help if erectile dysfunction is causes by diabetes, but coffee itself can help prevent diabetes!

Coffee and Diabetes

We have known for years that more coffee leads to less diabetes.

Drinking coffee reduces the incidence of Type II diabetes, the type that affects 95% of people with the disease. This has been known for some years but until recently no one really knew why. Now researchers at UCLA have found what may be the reason. It turns out that there is a protein called sex hormone-binding globulin. Its normal job is to regulate sex hormone activity in the human body. Researchers have long suspected that the same hormone has an effect on the development of Type II diabetes. How does organic coffee come into the picture? Drinking coffee increases the body’s levels of sex hormone-binding globulin. The American Diabetes Association says that nearly 24 million Americans have diabetes of which more than 9 in 10 have the Type II variety. That comes to roughly 22 million people with Type 2 diabetes. The fact that more organic coffee can lead to less diabetes could be a significant issue in US public health.

So, not only does more lead to longer lasting erections but it can prevent type II diabetes, a cause or erectile dysfunction!
