British poet W.H. Auden once wisely opined, “Thousands have lived without love, not one without water.” And if you care about your overall health and love life as well, it’s vital that you stay hydrated.

The failure to adequately hydrate your body can lead to a number of problems, not the least of which is compromised sexual function. In fact, just as your car needs adequate levels of motor oil to run properly, your body needs adequate hydration for virtually everything it does.

Although the importance of hydration extends well beyond the realm of sexual function, having too little water in your system can lead to fatigue and headache, which are hardly conducive to romance. Furthermore, in men, inadequate hydration can make it more difficult to get and keep an erection, while in women it can result in a deficiency of vaginal lubrication.

64 Ounces a Day Is the Minimum

The recommended minimum daily intake of water or other unsweetened fluids is 64 ounces, sometimes expressed as eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day. For some people, particularly those who are older or those suffering from diabetes, an even higher intake of water is preferable — up to 104 ounces daily.

As you’ve often read in this blog, one of the keys to preserving normal erectile function is a regular program of physical activity. If you’re pursuing such a program, it’s even more important to stay fully hydrated to replace the fluid you’ll lose through perspiration during exercise.

To learn more about the relationship between inadequate hydration and erectile dysfunction, check out this related article that appeared in the eDrugstore blog several months back.

How You Can Stay Hydrated

In an article posted at EverydayHealth.com, writer Moira Lawler offers several science-based recommendations you can follow to avoid dehydration and the adverse effects that can follow. Here are just a few of those tips:

  • Don’t ignore feelings of thirst, which mean just what you think they mean: Your body is crying out for water. Keeping a water bottle handy allows you to quench that thirst whenever it occurs.
  • Be alert to the symptoms of dehydration, which can include fatigue, facial flushing, headache, and even vomiting.
  • Check your urine color, which is either clear or pale yellow when you’re well hydrated. If it’s dark yellow or even brown, it’s time to top off the fluid levels in your body.
  • If the mucus membranes that line the inside of your mouth feel dry, have another drink or two of water.
  • Don’t rely solely on the general guidelines of 64 ounces of water per day, because that may not be enough to meet your needs. Drink enough water to eliminate any symptoms commonly associated with dehydration. For many, that’s more than 64 ounces.
  • Drink more water when exercising.
  • The heat of summer and illness can sharply increase your need for more fluids, so increase water intake accordingly.
  • Increase your intake of fruits and vegetables with high water content. These include most berries, grapes, lettuce, and melons.

In short, staying fully hydrated will ensure optimal health and also guard against the development of sexual dysfunction.

For men whose erectile dysfunction is caused by inadequate blood flow to the penis, Viagra and the other oral ED drugs known as PDE5 inhibitors can usually provide relief. If the convenience of ordering these drugs online appeals to you, check out the many services available from eDrugstore.com. To learn more, visit our Erectile Dysfunction page.
