Does Dry Fasting Affect Erectile Function?
Dry fasting — avoiding both food and water — may reduce inflammation short-term but can severely dehydrate you, lowering blood pressure, energy, and testosterone. All of these are essential for maintaining erections. Long-term or frequent dry fasting can impair your libido and recovery capacity.
Side Effects
- Dehydration and dizziness
- Weakened erection quality
- Fatigue and mood crashes
Better Options
If fasting, stay hydrated. Choose gentler intermittent fasting paired with nutrients that support blood flow and testosterone.
