This just in: A study out of Taiwan has found that forgetting to brush your teeth can impact your ability to maintain an erection.
That’s right, fellas. All those nights you skipped brushing because you were too tired or too lazy or too drunk could be killing your boners.
Researchers found that guys with erectile dysfunction were also 79 percent more likely to have been diagnosed with chronic periodontal disease compared to guys without ED.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Chronic periodontal disease is an infection in the gums that happens as a result of poor brushing. The gums become inflamed and recede from the teeth, creating pockets where bacteria can fester and spread to the surrounding bone.
Inflamed gums can also cause damage your endothelial cells, which line the insides of all your blood vessels. Damage to your endothelial cells can lead in decreased blood flow, resulting in an inability to get hard.
The good news? All of these problems can be treated if caught early. Treatment can be as quick and easy as a deep cleaning from your dentist.
The better news? All of these problems can be prevented by simply brushing your teeth for two minutes twice a day and visiting your dentist for regular cleanings and checkups.

Oh Queerty, you SOBs! I almost lost my breakfast when I saw that picture.

On the right column of my screen, there is an add to seek dental care in Mexico, 80% cheaper. It’s been showing up on the screen for a couple of days. I asked my spouse who would take this kind of chance? Liver transplants in foreign lands, etc. That was the end of that.
Today, an article about poor dental hygiene crops up. Either one of the writers went exploring the dentistry sites and got inspired to make it relevant to the gay community, or Queerty has a deal with the Mexi-maxillary-mailing list advertisement people, to heighten our awareness of our pearly whites. I must go be productive.
Republicans will ban any form of gum stimulation by 2017…

There is no causality in regression studies. The interpretation given here is BULL.

Poor dental hygiene can also kill your chances of finding someone to share your erection with.

You just need to brush your teeth AND your tongue with “colgayte total” twice a day, and floss. So simple. You get fresh and sparkling clean breath and all the boys will be crazy for you.

There’s a reason there is no kink community around bad teeth (he says being just bad from the dentist

Otherwise good looking people with missing or rotting teeth can kill erections too. Brush your teeth.

I brush my teeth in the morning and I also brush them and my tongue after a meal while at work during a break. I’m surprised more people don’t do this. I also use a restoring mouthwash which really does work.

Of course, people who are depressed don’t take care of themselves very well AND depression leads to lack of sex drive. And people who do a lot of drugs also don’t take care of themselves and the drugs can affect sex drive. Just because two things occur at the same time (poor hygiene and low sex drive) does not mean one caused the other. So brushing your teeth, while a great idea in its own right, may not cure a low sex drive/impotency. There can be a myriad of other potential causes for either or both issues.

I think you need to keep your whole body in good condition to have great performance. Beside a healthy diet and workout a clean hygiene is also very important. Here’s my story: http://www.howtogetstrongererections.com
