Why smoking is killing your sex life

To throw out a cliché: smoking is bad for you. But not only your lungs, heart, and blood vessels take a hit, your bedroom fun suffers too. LotteLust explains how this works.

One notch down

Let's start with the most obvious. It is well known that smokers last less long on the treadmill than non-smokers. Your stamina between the sheets also decreases. More endurance leads to better physical activity (duh!). Leave that pack of cigarettes behind for longer enjoyment in the bedroom. These sports not only have a nice effect on your fitness, but also on your sex life.

Dry affair

When you smoke, your vessels constrict, which reduces your blood flow. The veins around your vagina are significantly affected by this. Good circulation ensures that you become wet faster and better.

Out of balance

Tobacco is pure poison and your female hormones become completely unbalanced. The chance is high that your libido drops significantly. Also nutrition can give your libido a boost. It is much nicer if you can fully enjoy this. Tobacco is detrimental to your sense of smell and taste. When you quit smoking, these senses become sharp again.

Baby making

Do you have a desire for children (read here tips for nice baby making sex)? Kiss your cigarettes goodbye. The chance of infertility and an ectopic pregnancy is higher among smokers. Long-term smokers even have a great chance of entering menopause early. Lastly, it's really not pleasant to kiss someone who smells like an ashtray? All in all, quitting smoking has a positive effect on your sex life.
