Dr. Heba Kotb, a marriage counselor, recommended that men drink in moderate amounts, because excessive tea can negatively affect sexual health.
Kotb said during her hosting of the “Bowdah” program, presented by the media, Amr Al-Leithi, that excessive tea drinking may increase the risk of erectile dysfunction.

The marriage counselor explained that the tea contains tannic acid, adding: “When levels of tannic acid rise in the body, the peripheral blood vessels begin to constrict.”
She pointed out that the sexual blood vessels are part of the peripheral blood vessels, explaining that their constriction reduces the flow of oxygen-laden blood to the penis, which causes erectile dysfunction.
Kotb concluded her speech by clarifying that the permissible limit of drinking tea per day should not be more than 3 cups.
