When the body begins to fail in intimate moments, it may be speaking a language that has nothing to do with desire and everything to do with the health of the heart. Nutritionist and psychologist Sonia Lucena argues that erectile dysfunction is frequently the cardiovascular system's earliest warning signal—arriving in the bedroom long before it arrives in the chest. The arteries that serve sexual function are smaller and more vulnerable than those surrounding the heart, meaning they narrow and stiffen first, offering men a window of time in which lifestyle change can still redirect the story.
