A member asked:
Can being overweight (250lbs nothing crazy like 300 or 400) affect a guys firmness in his erections? and what can be done to help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Weight gain, anabolics, opiates, some other medication, tobacco and alcohol plus stress and anxiety and certain medical disorders can all affect erectile function. Eat less, exercise more, lose weight, get healthier, avoid toxins. You're too young to do this to your body.
