There is a direct link between bad sex and snoring. People who snore have a bigger risk of erectile dysfunction than other men. Snoring and erectile dysfunction have a common factor which affects overweight men and men with low testosterone level.

Hormones released after sex make us feel comfortable and reduce stress. This is also true the other way around. Another recent survey shows, that people who have good night sleep have “higher sexual desire, greater vaginal lubrication and a 14% increase in the chances of getting frisky the next day.

Snoring and good sex cannot co-exist. One Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Association’s survey said: “more than 50% of people would have sex more often if they or their partner stopped snoring, while a third of couples admitted they hardly ever had sex because one or other of them snored.”

The solution is to make love before sleep. The sex has to be satisfied that both partners can get orgasm. The orgasm makes us good sleep. To stop snoring, you need a healthy lifestyle. In some cases, an operation could be helpful
