There’s nothing more satisfying for a woman to see her man last longer in bed. Having a healthy sex life also means having a man who can have a hard erection last for an extended period of time. Sometimes, an erection can last for a very short period of time, and that can affect your sex life adversely. Although it is absolutely normal if it happens every once in a while, it can be a major issue and a matter of concern if it happens every time you have sex.

So, what’s the secret to having a long-lasting erection? How can you make an erection last longer, naturally? Well, several ways can help. But before you dive into the details, know this that you have to be consistent. Without you practising these steps on a regular basis, chances are, you will never get there. Okay, so let’s begin… here’s taking a look at a few lifestyle changes you need to incorporate to last longer in bed. Erectile Dysfunction and Morning Wood – What’s The Connection? Men Need To Know THIS About Their Sexual Health. 

Quit Smoking

Cut down on Nicotine consumption. Cigarettes or vaporizers – they all contain a fair amount of nicotine that affects the functioning of the blood vessels and reduce the effectiveness of nitric oxide. For the uninitiated, Nitric oxide plays an important role in opening up the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow through more easily when you’re having an erection.

Low Testosterone Levels

Having low testosterone levels can also affect your sexual life adversely. Reduced semen volume, abnormal hair loss, losing muscle mass are some of its common symptoms. In such cases, it is always advisable to visit a doctor nearest to you.

Exercise To Stay Fit

Any kind of inactivity can cause significant harm to the human body. Make sure you exercise for over 30 minutes a day to improve your performance in bed. Some of the most recommended exercises that can help you through are planks, sit-ups, push-ups, squats and burpees.

Cut Down on Alcohol Consumption

Research proves that a higher amount of alcohol consumption can lead to a high risk of sexual dysfunction. Having alcoholic drinks once in a while is no harm but make sure not to turn it into a habit.

Besides these, it is also highly recommended that one follows a Mediterranean diet which includes legumes, nuts and seeds, poultry, and vegetables to help get over erectile dysfunction. Having a healthy diet helps in maintaining smooth blood flow throughout the body, including the penis, which is the key to having consistent and long erections.
