Be A Better Lover: How Going Vegan Boosts Your Love Life

Did you know that eating vegan can boost your bedroom stats and improve your sex life? Ditch the Viagra and go vegan instead. Learn more about the benefits of going vegan—for animals, you, and your lovers.

4 Ways Going Vegan Can Better Men’s Sex Lives:

1. Going Vegan May Help Prevent Erectile Dysfunction

Whether love or lust, it all starts in the heart—and doctors agree: The best way to prevent artery blockages, improve heart health, and lower blood pressure is to eat a diet high in fiber, including fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. These foods help clear your arteries and get your blood flowing to, well, the important parts.

One study found that healthy vegan diets are significantly associated with a reduced risk and severity of erectile dysfunction in men. Researchers concluded that a shift toward more animal-free meals may lower the risk of erectile dysfunction and should be encouraged for overall health.

2. Vegans May Have Healthier Sperm

Want high-quality sperm? Science says: Go vegan. Studies show that vegan men have significantly higher total sperm counts and better sperm motility than non-vegans. They also had a lower proportion of sperm with DNA damage, which is critical for fertility.

Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic agree: A diet rich in fruits and veggies—especially tomatoes, which are loaded with lycopene—can boost sperm health. Several studies indicate that frequent intake of lipophilic foods—i.e., animal flesh and milk products—can negatively affect sperm quality, whereas fruits and vegetables may maintain or even improve it.

Not only have researchers found that processed meat intake is related to lower-quality sperm, they’ve also found that infertile men have significantly higher concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyl and other contaminants in their seminal plasma: The highest averages of those concentrations were found in urban fish-eaters.

3. Going Vegan Makes You Smell and Taste Better

Meat and dairy products are distasteful in more ways than one, women insist. One of the amazing effects that going vegan has on our bodies is changing the way we smell and taste—and all for the better. A 2006 study on body odor found that people eating plant-based smelled significantly better than those who ate animal flesh. Plus, eating fruit and drinking fruit juice a few hours before sex is thought to improve the taste of semen, while cigarettes, alcohol, meat, dairy, and deep-fried foods make it less palatable.

4. Vegan Men May Last Longer in Bed

Looking for better stamina? A Danish study tested the stamina of meat-eaters against vegetarians and vegans and found that men “peddling on a stationary bicycle until muscle failure lasted an average of 114 minutes on a mixed meat and vegetable diet, 57 minutes on a high-meat diet, and a whopping 167 minutes on a [vegan]diet.”

So eat up, protect yourself, and have fun while you’re at it.
