Light Therapy For Male Sexual Dysfunction
Researchers find a new treatment option for men with sexual dysfunction.
New help for men with sexual dysfunction may be on the way. In a new small study, researchers find that light therapy may cure certain sexual dysfunction in men, reports the UK's Press Association.
When researchers randomly divided men into two groups, either giving them a placebo light treatment or authentic light therapy for one half hour each morning during a two-week period, they found that the men receiving the authentic light therapy experienced an improvement in sexual function.
Study participants were suffering from sexual dysfunction including inability to reach orgasm, low desire and impotence. The light used in the light therapy was a white fluorescent light box of 10,000 lux intensity.13 Relationships Mistakes We Men Could Stop Making
How does the light therapy work? The intense light is thought to alter the pineal gland in the brain, which in turn regulates the internal biological clock tied to many body functions, reports the Press Association.
The study results appear in the scientific journal, Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics.

Alright, I've got my flashlight in hand. Now what do I do with it.? Careful mama! I know what you're thinking.
Yes, nude sunbathing-out in the yard. I found it particularly arousing when I had been couped up in the house for several months during chemo several years back. You wouldn't believe how it made things bloom. I thought it was just the warm sun and the breeze on my naked body that made me so arroused. It made a very tough year a whole lot more bearable. I had lost any sex drive from the chemo and it caused depression but I refused to take any anti-anythings. It really brought me back to life. I still enjoy it from time to time-I've got a large property that's very secluded.
I actually originally attempted to get as much sun exposure on my body as I could as quick as I could since the chemo drugs had made me very photo sensitive. I knew of many benefits of sunlight, everything from Vitamin D, treating depression and regulating melatonin for better sleeping. So I figured the more skin I had exposed to the sun, the less time I would have to spend in it and thus lessen the chance for sunburn which I was warned not to allow to happen.
Being able to enjoy sex again made the treatment much more tollerable and less stressful. I only had one incident. The UPS man pulled up into the front yard. The front door was wide open except for the screendoor on the front outside foyer. The side garage doors were locked. The rear french doors were right inline with the front door---so I couldn't enter the house from the backyard screen patio without being seen by the driver.My clothes were on the back patio room-right in view of the open front door. I was stuck. I had to just watch him leave the property without leaving my package which needed to be signed for. I made sure I had a robe or something nearby after that.
Sunlight works good. And Yes, at least as far as myself, I think men, probably women too, in sunnier climates ARE hornier. Particularly if you spend as much time in the sun as I do. Hell, you probably don't even need to be in Florida, If you get a sunny day in Minnessota or N.J it probably works just as well.
Hmm. Does this mean men are more likely to have low libido in the winter? Are men in sunny climates hornier?
So should we avoid regular fluorescent lights because they're not full-spectrum? Get out of our cubicles? Demand windows? Nude sun-bathe?
And would this work for women?
