Skeletal muscle mass and strength contribute independently to healthy sexual function through metabolic and endothelial mechanisms, particularly in aging adults and men with comorbidities like sarcopenia, diabetes, and obesity. Cross-sectional studies using muscle volume, hand-grip strength (HGS), and bioelectrical impedance assessment show correlations between muscle parameters and erectile function, sexual desire, and overall sexual satisfaction. In older men, HGS correlates with decreased erectile dysfunction risk (OR: 0.86 per 5\u00a0kg, 95% CI 0.78-0.96). Despite the established influence of testosterone on muscle and endothelial health, an independent correlation between HGS and International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) score persists after adjustment for serum testosterone (\u03b2\u2009=\u2009.169, P\u2009=\u2009.037) showing the strength of this relationship independent of testosterone.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There is a positive correlation between erectile function and muscle health. Maintaining skeletal muscle with nutrition and physical activity improves erectile and overall health outcomes. Therapies that target sexual function and muscle health simultaneously (eg, testosterone and L-carnitine) may further benefit sexual function. Future studies are warranted to strengthen and elucidate this relationship and to follow the longitudinal outcomes of these therapies on sexual health.<\/jats:p>\n
