Hard Body, Soft Penis – The Link Between Steroids and Male Impotence
Getting in shape is difficult. We know this for a fact. You get up at 5 a.m. and slog your way to the gym before work; you choke down disgusting protein shakes; and strain your muscles on flimsy free-weights. Then, six months later, you look at yourself in the mirror and realize that your results are marginal at best. If only there were some way to give nature a little boost. If only there were some way to get a rock-hard body in record time, without having to spend 9 to 5 in the weight room. Is it any wonder why anabolic steroids are so tempting?
Yes, steroids may deliver results, but be warned, they have a dark side. There is a scene in the 2000 film “Bedazzled” where the protagonist, played by Brendan Fraser, asks the devil, played by Elizabeth Hurley, to make him a star athlete who's irresistible to women. The devil grants his wish and turns him into an NBA superstar, but when he meets the woman of his dreams, he finds that his penis is the size of a raisin. That's what happens when you make a deal with the devil. There's always a nasty catch, and such is the reality of anabolic steroids.
Steroids and Impotence – Not Hard To Comprehend
Anabolic steroid use impacts numerous systems within the body. For starters, it inhibits your liver function that can cause dramatic reductions in critical sex hormones such as DHEA and testosterone. In addition, the Encyclopedia of Sports Medicine and Science notes that steroid use leads to supra-physiological concentrations of testosterone. After all, you're trying to increase your testosterone, right? Well, the problem is that your hormones are governed by an internal feedback loop, which regulates the amount of testosterone released into your body. Steroid use interferes with this feedback loop, causing natural testosterone production to diminish. Before you know it, the signs of impotence start to set in.
And it's not just the illegal or heavily regulated steroids that you need to watch out for. Even over-the-counter testosterone boosters can function in the same way. It's like the devil's deal personified. You wished for a killer body so that you could attract the partner of your dreams, but now that you have her, you can't get it up!
Restoring Your Testosterone to Optimal Levels
Okay, if you're tired of struggling to get your penis back in order, there is good news. Testosterone can be replenished, and your fate is not set in stone. First, you need to get off the “juice.” If you want to build muscle, you'll have to do it the hard way. Second, start taking a natural herbal remedy to replenish your testosterone. The operative word here is “natural.” Herbs like Avena Sativa, Dioscorea and Epimedium can help you to regain your hormone balance.
Finally, maintain a healthy diet. Choose organic foods (as pesticides have been shown to impact the reproductive system), and consume plenty of nuts, oatmeal and lean protein, while limiting alcohol consumption. This diet change will help promote a natural increase in testosterone and nitric oxide. Be diligent, and before long, you should “salute the flag” just like old times. And next time the devil comes knocking on your door offering a quick fix, remember that there's always a catch.
