Is erectile dysfunction getting in your way of having a romp in bed? Your savior might just turn out to be Temple urologist Jack Mydlo whose 3-step formula to get back the pleasure in sex is - cut back on fat, down your cholesterol, and kick the butt. Simple, safe and super-efficient!

Men often rely on the "little blue pill" to score in the bedroom but following these three simple steps can improve their performance without a visit to the doctor or a drugstore.

After diabetes and high blood pressure the next culprit in the line for erectile dysfunction (ED) is cigarette.

"The number one thing we can do to stop erectile dysfunction is to stop smoking. It's the number one environmental cause of ED in our society," said Mydlo.

It restricts the blood flow to the penis. He said it takes 12 to 24 months for better function once you quit the habit.

Men with high cholesterol are at two fold risk of developing ED.

"Men with a cholesterol level of 240 or higher have almost a twofold increase of ED compared to a man who has lower cholesterol numbers," said Mydlo.

High levels of cholesterol lead to plaque buildup in tubes (in the penis and arteries, which can greatly reduce blood flow.

Obesity is to blame not only for men with self-esteem issues involving their appearance, but also their performance.

"Adipose tissue in body fat converts testosterone to estrogen, and lower levels of testosterone can make it difficult for a man to achieve an erection, no matter how many pills they take," said Mydlo.

Losing weight will improve the testosterone to estrogen ratio, which may improve sex drive, or libido, as well as erections. It also decreases cholesterol, which will help improve blood flow.
