SMOKING:
1. Less blood flows into the penis if the inflow route is blocked by long term build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries (atherosclerosis) caused, in part, by smoking.
2. Rapid contractions in penile tissue, a direct an immediate result of nicotine stimulation in the brain, restrict arterial blood flow into the penis. This is known as acute vasospasm.
3. The valve mechanism that traps blood in the penis is impaired as a result of nicotine in the blood stream. This is known as venous dilation.
ALCOHOL:
Impotence
In her book, "Drugs, Alcohol and Sex," Patricia Bush states that even small amounts of alcohol causes a decrease in the size of the erection of the penis. It may help in releasing inhibitions but too often alcohol limits performance, reduced satisfaction and fertility, and causes stress and strain between partners. Moderate doses of alcohol affect sexual function in the following ways: fewer or no orgasms, longer foreplay, decreased lubrication for both women and men, and increased time to get an erection. Sex therapist, Avodah K. Offit, MD, psychiatrist and author, says that an alcoholic drink with dinner can cause a loss of interest in sex for that night and what you drink today may affect sex tomorrow. Even after one drink, a man's erection may be dramatically compromised.
