Get some sun boys

How sunlight boosts your love life

I've been shedding light on America's sex problems for decades...and now the mainstream is finally coming around.

Toss your dangerous penis pills, because the REAL answer to most cases of erectile dysfunction can be found in a single hormone: testosterone. And a new study suggests that you can get your own bedroom boost by simply stepping outside -- because your testosterone rises and falls alongside your sun-powered vitamin D levels.

But don't count on the sun alone to get your sex life cooking. It might give your testosterone levels a little kick, but it won't be enough for most sexually challenged men.

There's a simple reason for that: As you get older, your body makes less testosterone. It happens to the best of us. Getting fat will also cause your levels to go limp. And if you're fat and old, you're up the creek -- but let me throw you a paddle: Switch to a high-protein diet rich in animal fats, and drop the carbs down to almost nothing.

The protein will give you energy. The zinc in the meat will boost your testosterone levels. And the lack of carbs will help you shed those extra pounds. Add it all up, and you'll be back on track in the sack -- but most men over 50 will need an extra hormone boost to really complete the picture.

Forget off-the-shelf testosterone supplements. Visit a doc who knows something about natural hormones. He can check your levels and top you off the right way: with a series of injections.

Finally, don't be afraid of that big yellow thing in the sky. The media's Chicken Little act over sunlight is out of control -- I actually read an article in the online edition of the St. Petersburg Times that said you should get your vitamin D through sunlight "only with your doctor's approval."

I kept looking for the punchline, but it wasn't a joke.

So consider this your permission slip -- get outside and bask for a few minutes every day. Skip the sunblock and head back inside when your skin turns just a little pink.

The sun won't poison you if you use some common sense, but your food might.
