hi.. anyone sure about the relation between cigarrette smoking and its effects on sex and fertilization..

I know some people like to smoke cigarettes after they have sex. But I don't know if they smoke during sex. I guess some do.

Isn't smoking during sex a sign that more lubrication is needed?

I've heard the myth that smoking menthol cigs in particular lowers the sperm count, but I have no idea if that has any merit or not...

Don't have any immediate references, but smoking contributes to atherosclerosis (general term for disease of the arteries). Over time, that is likely to negatively effect blood supply, which in turn means obvious related side-effects. Don't know about the fertilisation side of things though.

i dunno if smoking during sex is such a good idea, might start a little fire...

and over all, its bad for your health nomatter what, so its gonne be bad for your sexual organs as well. blood, heart, lungs, brain ... all those are important

isnt it that sex is as exhausting as running a few miles?

The risk of fire is a terrible thing, but if ppl are willing to look stupid whle doing it, it might enhance sex. Lack of oxygen and increased heart rate might tickle someones fancy.

If you smoke after sex you're doing it too fast.

Or you need to lube up.

I stopped smoking 13 years ago, but I saw no difference between the two.

If the Lord meant us to smoke, he would have set us on fire...

I'd love to be able to have that rite of smoking a wonderful cigar or a pipe...you know that is when smoking is a fulfilling moment as can be many others.

I'm not up to it...I smoke cigs and really hooked on them!

I remember times when I just couldn't go without a cigarette. I used to get a nicotine fit if I didn't get one!

Now, I can't even stand cigarette smoke.

Good for you...how did you stop smoking if I may ask?

Thank you!

Wore the patch for a few days and just didn't go back. Sort of like cold turkey.

Besides, my doc was trying to get me to quit smoking for a few years before that.

A friend of mine whose mom I used to date when he was a little boy - HE started smoking now!!

Did you gain lots of weight?
I'm asking because I know I would and I like how much I weigh now.

People say that when you stop smoking, you gain some weight by picking up an eating habit, but I don't remember doing that.

Your body burns energy/calories by processing the poisons out of your system the cigarettes put in, and repairing the constant damage to your lungs. Then there's also the possibility you might want to eat more. Being no two people are alike, your mileage may vary. Give up the cigarettes and worry about your body composition as a seperate issue.

Yeah just gimme butt some time time to dig my arse into that thought!
I'll smoke one or two and be right back with a weighy question.

I tried to quit several times but it's hard i think you have to be redy to quit .

Exactly right - quitting is really not hard once you have *really* made the decision that you want to stop. Once that decision is made, you 'just do it'.

On a side note I think the same applies to other things like alcohol too. If you need to switch to a dependency on 12-step meetings (aka God) or whatever, you haven't really made the decision.

Gaining some weight after quitting is likely to happen to those who (consciously or subconsciously) convince themselves they are so dependent that they need to replace the cigs with something else. If you do take that route, it's wise to choose a healthy food that won't pile on the weight. For example, I know someone who used fresh strawberries and it worked wonders for her.
