What physical factor is NOT associated with sexual dysfunction?

Regular exercise is not associated with sexual dysfunction; in fact, it is generally considered beneficial for sexual health. Engaging in regular physical activity improves overall health, enhances mood, reduces stress, boosts self-esteem, and increases blood flow, all of which can positively impact sexual function and desire.

In contrast, alcohol use and nicotine use can adversely affect sexual performance and libido. Both substances have been linked to physiological changes that can impair sexual function. Hormonal deficiencies, such as low levels of testosterone or estrogen, also have a well-documented impact on sexual dysfunction, resulting in various issues related to libido and performance.

Thus, regular exercise stands out as a physical factor that promotes, rather than detracts from, sexual health.
