Low testosterone in women impacts sexual desire, muscle mass, and cognition. Evaluating and addressing low testosterone levels through lifestyle factors like sleep, exercise, diet, and managing endocrine disruptors can help restore hormone balance.

Orgasms have various health benefits such as reducing heart rate, lowering blood pressure, improving mood and sleep, and potentially reducing pain. Masturbation and achieving orgasm through healthy means are advocated for the positive impacts on overall health and well-being.

Enlarged prostate, common among older men, can lead to urinary problems and impact quality of life. Lifestyle factors like exercise and dietary choices can play a role in prostate health. Additionally, regular ejaculation may lower the risk of prostate cancer development, highlighting the potential connection between sexual health and prostate health.
