Best vs Worst Sexual Positions for Men With ED
Sexual positions that require more strength and muscles than other positions can potentially impact erection strength. This is because of how important blood flow is to erections. Erections happen when you become aroused and signals and proteins are released to relax the muscles and blood vessels in your penis. This relaxation allows for more blood to flow to the penis, which is what creates an erection.
Strong erections need strong pelvic muscles and blood flow. If you have restricted blood flow, you may struggle to get an erection, keep an erection, and/or have a strong enough erection for sex. It doesn’t help that as we age, blood flow to the penis starts to decrease, making it more difficult to maintain an erection. Being overweight, sedentary, and frequently drinking and smoking can make it even more difficult for forceful blood flow to reach the penis.
Some sexual positions and activities require the use of large muscle groups as well as more strength and effort. When your blood is flowing to the large muscles you are strenuously using, you may not be getting enough blood flowing to the penis. That’s why it’s thought some sexual positions are better than others when it comes to erectile dysfunction. For a chance to enhance your erections, give these positions a try!

Other Ways to Be Intimate
It’s important to remember that penetration is not the only way to be intimate with your partner and have mutual sexual satisfaction. Men often focus on penetration and male climax as a sign for a successful sexual encounter, but for women and some men this is often not the case.
Women tend to need more than men do to have an orgasm, so spend time enjoying each other’s bodies in new ways. Touching each other and finding ways to pleasure one another may even bring you closer and improve your relationship.
Erectile Dysfunction Prevention and Treatment
In addition to trying out different sexual positions, it’s worth speaking to your GP about erectile dysfunction, especially if it has had a sudden onset. Erectile dysfunction is often a symptom of an underlying medical condition like diabetes, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure. Other conditions that can cause ED are heart disease, mental health disorders, kidney disease, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis (MS). Some medications and treatments can lead to ED as well such as antidepressants, antipsychotic medications, antihistamines, diuretics, and chemotherapy.
There are many changes you can make to your habits that can help prevent ED. These include eating better, exercising more to get your blood flowing, reducing stress, quitting smoking, and drinking less.
You can also take erectile dysfunction treatment to help with getting and keeping an erection suitable for sexual activity. Men have been taking ED tablets for years to successfully enhance their performance in the bedroom.
