A good indickator of heart disease

So apart from its many other upstanding attributes the male penis can predict the onset of potentially fatal heart disease.

Clever as!

Not alone in this skill but in a less conspicuous way the female clitoris can do the same.

The engorgement of the male apparatus to achieve penetration and the enjoyment of engorgement of the female apparatus (to make the next 20 years of child rearing worthwhile!) relate to the ability of the arteries to dilate and the veins in the zone to construct. This action is caused by the generation of nitric oxide.

Pfizer Pharmaceuticals made a fortune for shareholders by creating a drug that increased the release of this frisky molecule. That little blue pill developed a devout following not unexpectedly!

Arterial wall damage as a result of decreased availability of nitric oxide with the inflammatory destructive result is the genesis of atherosclerosis ( hardening of the arteries) with the potential culmination with a heart attack or stroke and /or cardiac arrest and sudden death.

Studies suggest erectile dysfunction predate the appearance of heart disease by three years. Clitoral dysfunction is not so well studied.

The ability to generate nitric oxide in the walls of the arteries is as all other bodily functions genetically prescribed and individual genetic variations (in the eNOS gene) known as single nucleotide polymorphisms determined the availability of the molecule for each individual.

So if you and your partner need the blue partner, make sure the shadow of heart disease has been cleared before stiftoff.
