Welcome!
Sexuality EDucation Network is dedicated to providing you with scientifically established information on how couples can maximize their sexual enjoyment by natural means without using drugs. There is no reason for you to spend your hard-earned money on expensive and unproven remedies and gadgets.
Scientific information is available on how you can improve erectile function by using the wealth of evidence (see an evidence-based approach to erectile function) outlined in this site and in our book (Survival of the Firmest™). Even if you have never experienced erectile dysfunction, our recommendations are likely to help you have improved erectile performance and to prevent problems in the future.
Background
Two reproductive endocrinologists, a registered dietician and fitness instructor, and a chef with a life-long interest in shopping and cooking for health (the authors) have pooled their efforts and knowledge to provide the information in this web site and in two books to help you to understand how this all works.
Our Goal
This site does not promote unproven remedies or gadgets. Our recommended supplements are based on either studies showing improved erectile function or on studies showing increased NO (Nitric Oxide) production by blood vessels. There are no illegal additives. They will cost you a lot less than Viagra, Cialis or Levitra, and if you do require some extra help, you will need a lower dose of these medications.
Quote
“Although our work led to the discovery of Viagra, which has benefited countless millions of couples worldwide, Dr. Meldrum puts forth a potent argument in this book that we should not be masking abnormal body chemistry and poor vascular function by simply treating the symptom (erectile dysfunction) with drugs. We now have the knowledge to correct the underlying problems leading to deficient NO production. Just as I have emphasized in my nationally bestselling book, NO More Heart Disease, the cardiovascular and general health benefits of enhanced NO synthesis by blood vessels will have far-reaching benefits for each and every one of us ---- I have no doubt that this book will help millions of couples around the world by improving male sexual performance. It will also contribute significantly to the goal of my book ---- NO More Heart Disease.

ED is an important early warning sign of actual or impending cardiovascular disease
For the large majority of men with erectile dysfunction, excess body weight (particularly located around the waist), too little physical activity, the wrong food choices, smoking and/or excessive alcohol have resulted in unhealthy blood vessels that produce too little nitric oxide (NO). The penis is just a collection of specialized blood vessels within a tough fibrous sheath, and NO is the factor required for those blood vessels to relax enough for the penile tissues to become engorged and cause an erection. Enough NO must be present for drugs like Viagra to work effectively. NO is also critical for blood vessel health to prevent heart attacks, strokes, and dementia. These are all the reasons why this web site emphasizes better lifestyle choices as the first approach to ED. By optimizing NO production by your blood vessels, not only will your erectile function improve, but you will live a longer and healthier life. If you do need the assistance of Viagra-like drugs, you will need a lower dose and you will get more satisfaction from their use.
