For several years, scientists from Manchester have been investigating sexual problems in modern men and have concluded that work can cause impotence. Nowadays it is considered that if a man is the owner of a successful business, then problems in his personal life are automatically excluded from him. It may seem strange, but in the process of research, almost inverse dependence was discovered.
Experts believe that there is a direct link between work and personal life: if a person devotes too much time to his work, then in bed problems there may be problems. In the course of recent research, scientists have determined that a profession and even a job can negatively affect the sexual activity of an adult male.
During the study, English scientists conducted a comparative analysis between different professions, attendant habits, working conditions and sexual activity of men. It turned out that problems of a sexual nature primarily concern men who hold managerial positions and owners of large and medium-sized businesses. Doctors believe that the reason for this indicator is a strong psychological burden on the body, associated with constant stress. Frequent trips can cause irregular and irregular meals, which can also cause erectile function.
The second in the list indicate people in the form: the military, law enforcement officers, security guards. Doctors say that people whose lives are constantly in danger, with time problems in sexual life. Erectile dysfunction in law and order is associated with stress and passion for work: sex simply does not have enough time or desire.
It may seem implausible, but the following on the list of researchers consider representatives of creative professions: artists, writers, variety artists. Despite the large number of fans, male creators often do not have enough time for sensual sex. In addition, creative professions require tremendous dedication from the artist, who "give" all the energy to creativity. Alcohol, light drugs, nightlife also have a detrimental effect on health and erectile function in particular.
Physical labor, of course, reduces sexual activity in men. This is not surprising, after a hard day at work, there is often no desire and time for passionate sex, and over time a physical opportunity disappears.
Men who are forced to work hard physically need to pay special attention to healthy eating and rest. In such conditions, the body is able to recover independently, which will help to avoid problems in sexual life.
The list is closed by professional athletes. It would seem, why do people who lead a healthy lifestyle complain about problems with erection? The problem is that grueling workouts, sports nutrition, a ban on sex before an important game or competition can lead the body into a stressful state. As is known from the results of the study, stress is the most important cause of impotence.
