By Ernie Mundell HealthDay ReporterHealthDayFRIDAY, Feb. 9, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- Is 'practice makes perfect' true for the male erection, too?
The key seemed to lie in connective tissue cells called fibroblasts.
So, "an increased frequency of erections leads to more fibroblasts that enable erection," he said.
The opposite also appeared to be true: "A decreased frequency results in fewer of these cells," Göritz said.
"This is not something we have shown in our study, so it is a bit speculative, but a reasonable interpretation is that it gets easier if you have regular erections,” Göritz said.
