13 Everyday things you never knew affect a man’s performance in bed

7. Taking Medications

As annoying as it is, there are some medications out there that can negatively impact a guy’s sexual performance. In particular, antidepressants, hormones, and medications that are used to treat high blood pressure can cause sexual dysfunction. If you suffer from seasonal allergies, be aware that some over-the-counter antihistamines and nasal decongestants can also lead to erectile dysfunction and other sexual woes. And even if you don’t experience anything as concerning as this, there are other sexual effects, such a loss of desire or libido and an inability to reach climax or orgasm. It’s a bummer, but speaking with your doctor can help.
