This is a blog written for adults. Though there are neither explicit photos nor explicit sexual descriptions here, the themes and language are mature and may not be relevant for children, pre-teens and teenagers. In addition, some of the sites I link to do contain sexually explicit photos and sexual descriptions, and in the United States, it is not legal to look at these sites unless you are above the age of consent in your state. However, people of all ages have a right to get sexually accurate materials appropriate for their mental and emotional development, and there are, fortunately, some fabulous resources out there for those who are newer to the planet than I am! If you are under 18 and happen across my blog, I will ask that you either read it with a trusted parent or explore some of the sites designed for pre-teens and teenagers, like Scarleteen, one of my very favorites.

Smoking and Your Penis

This is by no means a new study, but I do wonder why there's not more publicity on the fact that smoking can lead to difficulty for men in getting, maintaining and enjoying erections. Do you remember that old Saturday Night Live skit back in the 1980's? (Was it Steve Martin in that one?) A bunch of guys walked around greeting each other: "Hey, Bob! (or whoever) How's your penis?!" As it turns out, Bob's answer might just have something to do with whether or not he's a smoker.

A few more resources on:
Smoking, high blood pressure, and erectile function
Smoking, obesity, and erectile function
Smoking and infertility in both men and women
