Re: SEX: Fats was: and Morning Wood (DONT READ IF OFFENDED BY SEXUAL TOPICS)

" From an erection standpoint, anything that's good for your heart is good

for your penis, " says Dr. Mulhall. Too much saturated fat can, over time,

clog arteries and, in doing so, prevent an adequate flow of blood from

reaching the genital region. This not only interferes with the ability to

perform, but also with sexual pleasure. Too little fat, on the other hand,

is also bad.

" You need fat to produce your hormones, " says *Beverly Whipple*, professor

emerita at Rutgers University and president of the World Association for

Sexology. " Cholesterol is metabolized in the liver, and you get your

testosterone and estrogen, which you need for your sex drive, " she says.

Olive oil, salmon and nuts are optimal sources of the " good " kinds of

fats--monounsaturated and polyunsaturated.

P.S. How about we add " SEX " to the list of tags on subjects, as well as

politics and religion???

There's not much monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fat in the butter

and coconut oil he's using, which are the #2 and #1 most saturated

fats on the market respectively. I would think saturated fats would

be more metabolizable into cholesterol since they are easier for the

body to break down, though a pubmed search for " saturated fat

erection " yields no results so apparently it isn't very well studied.

If at some point decides to add the tag I'll enforce it but until

then I'll only be enforcing the POLITICS and RELIGION tags.
