Male circumcision 'doesn’t affect sexual satisfaction'
Conclusion
This review combines the results of 36 studies reporting differences in sexual performance and satisfaction between circumcised and uncircumcised men. Most were observational studies, though two large RCTs from Kenya and Uganda were identified. The findings of the studies are discussed, and the review finds no evidence for any overall differences between circumcised and uncircumcised men in terms of sexual function or sexual pleasure.
The review gathers together a large body of evidence, though the included studies will vary in their populations and methods of assessment. There are some factors that may be infl...

The link between erectile dysfunction and heart disease
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is caused by the inability of the artery that supplies blood to the penis to expand and contract properly. The study of this mechanism has led to a new understanding of the important link between ED and the development of coronary artery disease, and to new strategies for prevention and treatment, as described in Journal of Men's Health, a peer-reviewed publication from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available on the Journal of Men's Health website. (Source: Health News from Medical News Today)

Results of UK sex survey published
Conclusion
The findings of the report make for some mixed reading; suggesting multiple, and often contrasting, trends are at work.
One on hand we are having sex with more people than previous generations, but on the other hand we actually spend less time having sex.
Similarly, some of our attitudes, such as acceptance of same-sex partnerships have become more liberal, while other attitudes, such as acceptance of having sex outside a relationship, have hardened.
Perhaps the biggest concern is the statistics provided about non-volitional sex. The fact that one in 10 women had sex against their will at some point in their lif...

Is sex better exercise than walking?
Conclusion
This study found the energy expenditure and intensity of sexual activity in 21 healthy young heterosexual couples was significantly less (approximately 38% of the total) than that expended during a 30-minute treadmill exercise at moderate intensity.
Some men exerted more energy during sex than the average expended on the treadmill, but this was the exception among men and was not seen in any women.
The practical implications of the research aren’t too clear. Arguably, the results are of more interest on a sociological level; we may live in a more open society compared to the past but the"nuts and bolts&...

Compound developed that may treat erectile dysfunction priapism
It's not the little blue pill famous for helping men get big results, but for those who need it, the outcome might be even more significant. A new research report published online in The FASEB Journal, offers hope to men who experience priapism. This condition, which is often seen in men with sickle cell disease, causes erections lasting so long that they cause permanent damage to the penis. Specifically, a compound, called "C6'" offered mice -- with and without sickle cell disease -- relief by normalizing nitric oxide levels in penile blood...

Men with diet-induced erectile dysfunction may benefit from hitting the gym
Obesity continues to plague the U.S. and now extends to much of the rest of the world. One probable reason for this growing health problem is more people worldwide eating the so-called Western diet, which contains high levels of saturated fat, omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (the type of fat found in vegetable oil), and added sugar. Researchers have long known that this pattern of consumption, as well as the weight gain it often causes, contributes to a wide range of other health problems including erectile dysfunction and heart disease...

Erectile Dysfunction In Young Men May Be More Prevalent Than Previously Thought
In a recent analysis of one outpatient clinic, one in four men seeking medical help for newly-developed erectile dysfunction (ED) was younger than 40 years, and nearly half of young men with the condition had severe ED. While larger population-based studies are needed, the findings, which were published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, suggest that erectile dysfunction in young men may be more prevalent and more serious than previously thought. Erectile dysfunction is a common complaint in men over 40 years of age... (Source: Health News from Medical News Today)

Erectile Dysfunction Much More Common Among Young Men Than Previously Thought
According to a new analysis, published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, the number of young men suffering from erectile dysfunction may be much higher than previously thought.

Prime treatment options for ED are the drugs Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra. However, according to a study presented at the 28th Annual EAU Congress, despite the high prevalence of ED, most patients receive no treatment... (Source: Health News from Medical News Today)

Erectile Dysfunction Tied To Long Term Painkiller Use

Deyo, an investigator with the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research says in a statement: "Men who take opioid pain medications for an extended period of time have the highest risk of ED...
