For some men, the very idea of starting the day without a piping hot cup of coffee is sacrilege. For these men, coffee is more than just a delicious beverage; it is a cup of courage, there to push you out the door to face the day. But after that first cup comes the second cup when the midday slump hits at 1, followed later by another cup when you begin to burn out around 5. Repeat every day for 30 years.
Coffee is an absolutely vital part of the day for many, but could all this coffee be spelling trouble for your erection? Sure, it wakes you up in the morning, but could it be killing your sex life?
Well good news coffee fiends; regular coffee consumption has not been found to cause erectile dysfunction. Even men on a 20-cup a day habit have nothing to fear, as black coffee does not have erectile killing properties. What’s more, research has found that regular coffee intake can actually reduce a man’s odds of developing erectile dysfunction. So not only is that coffee helping you to make it to work on time; it just might be saving your sex life.
But that is only in relation to black coffee. Men who like to enjoy their coffee sweet could actually be putting their erection at risk by indulging in multiple cups a day.
This is because coffee is sweetened with sugar, and sugar is absolutely not good for a man’s body. By drinking high-sugar coffee several times a day, a man could put himself a risk of developing high blood sugar, which can spiral into full-blown Diabetes. Diabetes is tied to a litany of health issues, including, you guessed it, erectile dysfunction.
So men knocking down black as midnight cups of coffee day in and day out have nothing to fear. But men who enjoy their coffee on the sweet side could be putting themselves at risk of developing erectile issues. Men who just need their coffee should consider switching to black coffee or, at the very least, cutting down on the sugar put into the coffee. It just might make the difference in saving your erection.
