Pain meds make love tough
Saturday, May 13, 2006
Certain common painkillers such as ibuprofen and naproxen apparently increase the likelihood that middle-aged and elderly men will develop erection difficulties, Finish sic) researchers reported yesterday.
The painkillers involved are classified as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs.
Dr. R. Shiri and colleagues at the University of Tampere found that the erectile dysfunction rate was 93 cases per 1,000 men per year among NSAID users compared with just 35 cases among nonusers.
Arthritis was the most common reason study subjects gave for NSAID use. But for whatever reason they were taken, NSAIDs roughly doubled the risk of erectile dysfunction compared with non-use, according to the study in the Journal of Urology.

Flossing makes make love tough
Saturday, May 13th, 2006
Certain common hygienic practices, such as flossing increase the likelihood that middle-aged and elderly men will develop erection difficulties, Finish (sic )researchers reported yesterday.
The practice is considered a noninvasive oral hygiene procedure, or NOHP.
Dr. R. Shiri and colleagues at the University of Tampere found that the erectile dysfunction rate was 93 cases per 1,000 men per year among men who flossed compared with just 35 cases among men who did not floss.
Bad breath ("dragon mouth") was the most common reason study subjects gave for flossing, followed by food particles lodged between the teeth. But for whatever reason they flossed, men who engaged in NOHP roughly doubled the risk of erectile dysfunction compared with non-flossers.
Anyone have a problem with the logic, or lack of it, behind this asinine "study"? Substitute "men who drive foreign cars" for flossers, or "men who watch the history channel". Men who take NSAIDS obviously have other problems, which may be the causative factor (or a contributing factor) rather than the NSAIDS. The study proves nothing, except how breathtakingly stupid these so-called researchers are.
