When Viagra hit the scene it was like a miracle drug for men suffering from erectile dysfunction. Men who were unable to achieve or maintain an erection due to medical issues were now able to due so. This tiny little blue pill not only gives many men their sex life back, it consequently boosts their self esteem. One of the biggest complaints men have, however, is that sex cannot be spontaneous. Sex must coincide with taking a pill.

Well, a new treatment is on the horizon that unlike lasting for several hours like Viagra, will last for months. This is the biggest attraction of the drug, you only need 2 injections a year. Lead researcher Arnold Melman says the initial research proves that this is a safe and effective treatment for male impotence.

Rather than damaging a man?s sexual performance, a good, stiff drink actually improves a man?s sexual prowess in the bedroom. Australian researchers found that men who drink report as many as 30 percent fewer problems than those who didn?t drink at all.

Dr. Kew-Kim Chew, of Western Australia?s Keogh Institute for Medical Research told London?s Sunday Telegraph that men who drank within safe, moderate guidelines seemed to have the best erectile function. In Chew?s study of 1,580 Australian men, even binge drinkers functioned better sexually than those who never drank.

?We found that, compared to those who have never touched alcohol, many people do benefit from some alcohol, including some people who drink outside the guidelines,? Chew said.

The study found that low risk drinkers – those who consumed up to twenty drinks a week spread over five days – had the fewest sexual problems. Those who drank on weekends only and those who were binge drinkers suffered lower rates of erectile dysfunction than those who drank only one day a week or drank none at all. Men who performed the poorest were heavy drinkers who had stopped drinking and those who smoked or had heart disease.
