"  We&amp;#039;ve read before that pensises and dental hygiene, of all things, are totally linked, in that guys who don&amp;#039;t floss are way more likely to have impotence issues. (Oh, human body, you are so cray.)  But new research shows just how important having a healthy mouth is when it comes to penile function: A study just published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that bleeding gums might be a major warning sign of erectile dysfunction. Severe gum disease\u2014which typically causes those bleeding gums\u2014more then doubles the chance that a dude won&amp;#039;t be able to get it up.  Basically, when a guy has gum issues, the bacteria in his mouth can enter the bloodstream and cause arteries to narrow and harden. And when blood vessels harden, the penis doesn&amp;#039;t: If the blood can&amp;#039;t get into a dude&amp;#039;s member, then erections just don&amp;#039;t happen.  So, the next time your guy is too lazy to brush his teeth before bed\u2014as mine sometimes is\u2014just share this info with him. I&amp;#039;m pretty sure he&amp;#039;ll be going at it with the toothpaste in about three seconds.  Want more from Natasha? Follow her on Twitter or find her on Facebook.
