Circumcision May Reduce Some Risk of Contracting HIV
As the debate on the benefits of circumcision continues, several studies are suggesting one more plus that comes with the procedure: it apparently reduces your risk of contracting HIV during penile-vaginal sex.
An Australian study shows that the inner foreskin has the largest concentration of what’s called Langerhans’ cells – the target cells for HIV infection. Other areas of the foreskin have a significantly lower level of those cells.
The foreskin also may be more susceptible to suffering small tears during intercourse, offering the virus more points of entry.
By removing the inner foreskin, you remove the skin surface that is most susceptible to HIV infection. This doesn’t eliminate your risk of contracting it, but it does reduce your risk.
At the same time, the American Urological Association points out reports that show circumcision doesn’t interfere with sexual function or pleasure.

An Exercise Routine Each Day Keeps Erectile Dysfunction Away?
While some men require multi-layered treatment to help in their battle with erectile dysfunction, others can get marked results by improving the way they take care of themselves.
Even if you do need a physician's help, making changes in the way you live can multiply the benefits you get from treatment.
Try to exercise regularly. The research on the best methods of exercise call for doing it five days a week. Start at just a few minutes a day, if you've been inactive. As you get into the routine, and as you become more fit, work up to 30 minutes. If you can't do five days a week, try to work out as much as you can.
Stick with it. The longer you keep exercise as part of your routine, the easier it is to keep the habit.
You can ask your doctor for help in finding a physical therapist, if you're unsure about how to start exercising. With professional help, you can get a safe, solid start.
Try scheduling exercise into your day, and look for classes that you'll have fun in and look forward to. If it's less of a chore, you are more likely to keep it as part of your long-term lifestyle change.
When you begin to see results -- especially the benefits exercise can bring to your sexual function -- you may never want to stop! Boston Medical Group encourages finding treatments of all kinds.

Depression's Connection to Sexual Function
If you’re clinically depressed, you may also find you’re having problems with a low sex drive, inability to orgasm or erectile dysfunction. It’s not your imagination – problems with sexual function and depression are often linked.
It’s chemical, doctors believe. Sexual desire begins in the brain and triggers increased blood flow to sex organs. The trouble comes when the chemicals in the brain are imbalanced, as with depression.
To complicate matters, antidepressants also can have side effects that deplete sexual function.
The physicians at Boston Medical Group are experts in untangling the relationship between your depression medication and your sexual function. You may need to switch to another antidepressant, and there are also other medications you can take along with your antidepressant that can help improve sexual function.
Your doctor can help you manage the sexual side effects of your antidepressants.
The key is to talk to your doctor honestly and openly about your situation, so you can find the most effective, successful strategy for getting healthy and improving your sexual function.

Gardening Can Help Keep Up Sexual Function
Men who spend time each week gardening – digging, weeding or mowing the lawn – can cut their risk of impotence by half, according to a recent study by Medical University of Vienna
The same study, highlighted by the UK’s Telegraph, showed that dancing, cycling and other kinds of moderate exercise can help in the same way. Low, regular physical activity can help maintain erectile function, the study found.
That means expending as few as a thousand calories a week can help.
That could be gardening for 30 to 45 minutes, dancing for half an hour, cycling four miles in 15 minutes or jogging 1.5 miles in the same time, according to the study. The research showed that amount of activity reduced impotence by around 38 percent.
