Even relatively young men experience sexual weakness - medical statistics show that 39% of men after the age of 40 were treated for impotence, and after 50 - already 69%. However, it is worth noting that a significant part of those who "discovered" erectile dysfunction actually just needed proper rest and a review of their usual, but unhealthy lifestyle. It should be borne in mind that there is no standard for potency and if someone can and wants to have sex three times a day, then for others once a week is enough. It all depends on the sexual constitution.
In addition, sexual activity is affected by age, temperament, lifestyle and couple relationships. Statistical data show a wide range in terms of the rates of numerical indicators in the intimate life of different people. Let me give you some of them:
- The approximate frequency of sexual contact among pubescent males is from three times a day to once a month;
- at the age of 30-45, sex once a week does not mean weakening of power - only if it happens less often, doctors suggest a deviation from the norm;
- boys under 30 make love three times a week, men 30-60 years old - from two to three, after 60 - three times a month;
- impotence caused by psychological causes is registered only in every fifth case, most often its cause lies in poor physical health.
Signs of power deviation from the norm
Let's look at 5 different cases of potency disorders to understand which external signs indicate ordinary fatigue and stress and what signals serious disorders in the body.
There is practically no spontaneous erection, as well as psychogenic (from thoughts) and reflex (from touches), the penis has stopped "rising" in the morning.
Vascular pathologies are most likely to blame: atherosclerosis, hypertension, coronary heart disease. Venous disorders are possible: often erectile blood simply does not stay in the erect penis, but immediately leaves it through the dorsal vein.
Smoking worsens vascular problems: the arteries of a smoker's penis become half as narrow, which means that the erection will be half as weak.
How to help yourself: If you do not feel well, you should measure your blood pressure and if you notice changes in it, consult a doctor immediately. It is worth changing your diet, minimizing fatty meat and fast carbohydrates (sugar and products containing it) and be sure to quit smoking. If you cannot quit smoking on your own, you should consult a psychotherapist or use replacement therapy at first, for example, a nicotine patch. With venous blood flow, doctors often prescribe ablation (removal) of the dorsal vein through which the flow occurs.Spontaneous and morning erections are good, but during caresses they do not occur or disappear in the first rubs.
This seems like a typical case of psychogenic ED accompanied by self-doubt, anxious anticipation of failure, or fear of displeasing a partner. Potency is also impaired due to continuous overwork and insufficient sleep.
Problem solution: you need to give your body a break. Do not believe that great people slept 4 hours a day and the quality of their lives did not suffer from it. It is unlikely that you will solve global problems for which it is worth neglecting your health and natural needs. Sleeping 7-8 hours a day allows the body to recover and produce the amount of testosterone needed for full sex. Quarrels and negativity in relationships with a girl also affect potency, so it is better to limit communication that does not bring joy and satisfaction.Withdrawal occurs less and less, and to achieve an erection, you have to make an effort.
There is a lack of male sex hormones - androgens, mainly testosterone. This happens both due to old age and obesity, excessive use of alcohol or anabolic steroids. Many athletes, in search of higher results, are deprived of normal strength; Anabolic steroids act in the same way as testosterone and their use provokes a decrease in the production of this hormone in the body. Basically, taking anabolic steroids is chemical castration.
How to get your libido back: get rid of excess weight, but you will have to do it without the help of chemical "crutches", that is, drugs for rapid fat burning and gaining muscle mass. An excellent solution would be to visit an endocrinologist for tests instead of blindly trying to change your hormonal balance. Remember that the maximum safe dose of alcohol per day is equal to 30 ml of pure alcohol.The attraction is present, but the erection comes on slowly and disappears quickly.
It appears that nerve conduction is interrupted; This happens with diabetes, radiculitis or after spinal injuries, when the areas of the spinal cord through which the sexual arousal signal travels from the brain to the penis are affected.
How to increase power: visit an andrologist and neurologist, get rid of radiculitis, perform auxiliary therapy using vibration stimulation. The receptors of the head of the penis are very sensitive to vibrations, the excitation arising in them is transmitted to the cavernous nerves of the penis, and it is possible for the organ to be put in an excited state even in difficult cases.The erection is weakening, annoying pain in the lower abdomen has appeared, urination occurs often and in small portions.
Signs very similar to the beginning of prostatitis. Although the arousal mechanism itself is not damaged, due to poor health, sex simply fades into the background. By the way, the beginning of the development of prostatitis is often indicated by extremely rapid ejaculation. However, similar symptoms can also indicate a sexually transmitted infection.
What to do: see a urologist, examine the prostate and get tested for STDs. You should not postpone the visit to the doctor: sexually transmitted infections provoke the development of prostatitis, and in its advanced form, the prostate tissue changes irreversibly, which can lead to the appearance of incurable impotence. In the early stages, inflammation of the prostate gland can be treated successfully and almost painlessly.
For all the listed types of potency disorders, a healthy lifestyle and regular high-quality sex will be a good help in its restoration. The level of testosterone in the blood depends on the frequency of intimate contacts - the more often they are, the more hormone is released into the blood and vice versa - the less often the sex, the less androgens that are so necessary for a man. are produced.
