REVEALED: Drinking coffee twice a day acts like natural Viagra
Apparently overweight men could particularly benefit from a couple of cups of coffee, that's according to new research anyway
IF you could do one easy thing to boost your sex life, surely you'd give it a go?
Well if you're a guy you're in luck, as we have just the suggestion.
According to a study by the University of Texas Health Science Centre at Houston, sipping on COFFEE gives the same kind of results as Viagra.
We're not suggesting nipping into Starbucks will help everyone who needs the little blue pills, but apparently caffeine acts as special kind of pick-me-up.
Even better, having coffee every day could see men less at risk of developing erectile dysfunction.
You don't even need to boil the kettle that much - apparently just two to three cups a day is enough to lower the chance of erectile problems.
That's when measured against people who don't drink any coffee anyway.
The impact of overweight guy was particularly apparent too.
Rung Wang M.D. co-wrote the study and drew comparisons between the impact caffeine has on the penis and Viagra.
Apparently the drink helps arteries in the penis relax, which means it's easier for blood to flow.
If you're having problems between the sheets it's always a good idea to go to the doctor rather than trying to self diagnosis.
There can be tonnes of reasons why things aren't working quite right, including stress and tiredness, with the NHS estimating half of men between 40 and 70 will experience impotence.
There might also be a physical issue at play, like hormone problems or narrowing blood vessels.
Occasionally there might be something more problematic at play though, so if you've noticed something's been wrong for more than a few weeks head to the GP.
As an example, sometimes erectile problems are the first sign of heart disease - which is when the blood supply to the heart is interrupted.
