Every hour spent playing video games per day triples risk of erectile dysfunction and low sperm count, study suggests
It's well known that spending too much time gaming could lead to weight gain and trouble sleeping. However, it could spell trouble in the bedroom, a study suggests. Researchers in China studied more than 200,000 men while they performed'leisure' activities like watching TV, going for a drive, and playing games on the computer. The team measured participants' sex hormones, as well as feelings of depression and anxiety. They found that every 1.2 hours spent playing video games or doing other leisure activities per day at the computer led to a three times greater risk of erectile dysfunction (ED).
