Temporarily. Most people experience a calm and relaxation after orgasm and you have a space where the issues that create hypertension are forgotten. If the sex becomes part of feeling good about your self and relaxing about ones relationship to life it can help to let go of the tension of false ideas that create high blood pressure.

You posted this question here so obviously you are looking for diet and nutrition solutions.  Congratulations to making efforts to improving your health.  The good news is - hypertension can be managed by diet.  This is a general answer I usually offer to my patients with the same question....\n\nIn general, a diet that emphasizes fruits & vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy appears effective in shaving points off a blood pressure reading. In particular, shedding pounds, cutting down on sodium, boosting potassium intake and limiting alcohol are all proven ways to help control blood pressure.\n\nFor more details on diet solutions, go to the DASH diet link at the bottom of the page listed below.\n\nTake Care :-)

Viagra shouldn't be taken around the same time as you take blood pressure medication. It could cause your blood pressure to drop significantly. You might want to try and take a half of pill- 25 mg.

Check with your physician.  I have heard it said that if you can tolerate walking up a flight of stairs without getting short of breath or excessively fatigued, it may be OK to start having sex.

Studies show that having consentual sex has several health benefits. All the way from mental to physical effects. Your body produces "happy" hormones whenever you exercise, that's what relaxes you after. Your brain absorbs chemicals that just make you feel good. It releases tension, does all sorts of great stuff. Especially if it makes your girlfriend happy. Good sex can keep you out of the dog house for days.

There are other factors that cause decrease in libido.  Stress may be a cause, it also may be a lack of connection with the person you are with. Even diet  and nutrition can affect libido.  I suggest you examine other areas of your life that you may be lacking in, or need to work on.  So try activities that relieve stress, even a good exercise regiment can increase blood flow and release natural hormones or endophins present primarily for sex.  However if smoking is a stress reliever, I suggest you avoid it altogether.  Smoking consticts blood capillaries and your gonna need a good flow of blood for pleasure....overall, examine your things that affect you mentally, and emotionally, because tis is what leads us to making decisions that affect our bodies and untimately how or bodies behave.

besides its primary role in reproduction, sex relieves hormonal tensions. since our bodies produce eggs and sperms during our sexually active age, we need to have sex to release such tensions within. some people have resorted to masturbation to achieve this but ideally have good and clean sex with the one you love. another benefit of sex is it draws a couple closer. when the Bible says that two shall become one, it suggest that for sex too when a couple is enjoined physically, emotionally and spiritually.

It seems to be tiresome because making love is actually a form of exercise.  Your blood pressure shoots up, your respiration and pulse rate increases and even your heart beat doubles.  You exercise your muscles too, especially your arm muscles for men and thigh muscles for women.   But the feeling of "tiredness" , spouts from being satiated and gratified.

I knew I had seen this somewhere before and had to go looking for it ...\n\nDid you know that you can tell from the skin whether a person is sexually active or not? \n\n1. Sex is a beauty treatment. Scientific tests find that when woman make love they produce amounts of the hormone estrogen, which make hair shiny and skin smooth. \n\n2. Gentle, relaxed lovemaking reduces your chances of suffering dermatitis, skin rashes and blemishes. The sweat produced cleanses the pores and makes your skin glow. \n\n3. Lovemaking can burn up those calories you piled on during that romantic dinner. \n\n4. Sex is one of the safest sports you can take up. It stretches and tones up just about every muscle in the body. It's more enjoyable than swimming 20 laps, and you don't need special sneakers! \n\n5. Sex is an instant cure for mild depression. It releases the body endorphin into the bloodstream, producing a sense of euphoria and leaving you with a feeling of well-being. \n\n6. The more sex you have, the more you will be offered. The sexually active body gives off greater quantities of chemicals called pheromones. These subtle sex perfumes drive the opposite sex crazy! \n\n7. Sex is the safest tranquilizer in the world. IT IS 10 TIMES MORE EFFECTIVE THAN VALIUM. \n\n8. Kissing each day will keep the dentist away. Kissing encourages saliva to wash food from the teeth and lowers the level of the acid that causes decay, preventing plaque build up. \n\n9. Sex actually relieves headaches. A lovemaking session can release the tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain. \n\n10. A lot of lovemaking can unblock a stuffy nose. Sex is a national antihistamine. It can help combat asthma and hay fever.\n\nhttp://www.angelic1healing.com
