Even relatively young people experience sexual weakness: medical statistics show that 39% of men after 40 years of age were treated for impotence, and after 50 - already 69%. However, it is worth mentioning that a significant part of those who "discovered" erectile dysfunction actually just needed adequate 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, for others once a week is enough. It all depends on the sexual constitution.
In addition, sexual activity is influenced by age, temperament, lifestyle and relationships. Statistical data show a wide range in terms of norms of numerical indicators in the intimate lives of different people. Let me give you some of them:
- the approximate frequency of sexual contacts between men in puberty is from three times a day to once a month;
- in people aged 30 to 45, having sex once a week does not mean weakened potency; only if it occurs less frequently, doctors suggest a deviation from the norm;
- Boys under 30 make love three times a week, men from 30 to 60 years old, two to three, after 60, three times a month;
- Impotence caused by psychological reasons is recorded in only one in five cases; Most of the time 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 common fatigue and stress and which indicate serious disorders in the body.
There is practically no spontaneous erection, in addition to psychogenic (from thoughts) and reflex (from touch), the penis has stopped "getting up" in the morning.
Most likely, vascular pathologies are to blame: atherosclerosis, hypertension, coronary heart disease. Venous disorders are possible: often erectile blood simply does not remain in the erect penis, but leaves immediately through the dorsal vein.
Smoking aggravates vascular problems: the arteries in a smoker's penis narrow by half, which means that the erection will be half as weak.
How to help yourself:If you feel unwell, 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 meats and fast carbohydrates (sugar and products containing it) and making sure you quit smoking. If you cannot quit smoking on your own, you should first consult a psychotherapist or use replacement therapy, for example, a nicotine patch. In case of venous blood leakage, doctors usually prescribe resection (removal) of the dorsal vein through which the leak occurs.
Spontaneous and morning erections are fine, but during caresses they do not occur or disappear at the first friction.
This seems like a typical case of psychogenic erectile dysfunction associated with self-doubt, anxious anticipation of failure, or fear of not satisfying one's partner. Power is also affected due to constant overwork and lack of sleep.
Solution to the problem:you need to give your body rest. Don't think that great people slept 4 hours a day and their quality of life did not suffer because of it. You are unlikely to be solving global problems that are worth neglecting your health and natural needs. Sleeping 7 to 8 hours a day allows the body to recover and produce the amount of testosterone necessary for full sexual intercourse. Quarrels and negativity in relationships with a girl also affect potency, so it is better to limit communication that does not bring joy and pleasure.
Attraction appears less and less frequently and to get an erection it is necessary 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 alcohol consumption or anabolic steroids. Many athletes, in search of the best results, are deprived of normal power; Anabolic steroids act similarly to testosterone and their use causes a decrease in the production of this hormone in the body. In essence, taking anabolic steroids is chemical castration.
How to recover your libido:get rid of excess weight, but you will have to do it without the help of chemical "crutches", that is, drugs to quickly burn fat and gain muscle mass. A great solution would be to visit an endocrinologist for testing instead of blindly trying to change your hormonal balance. Don't forget that the maximum safe dose of alcohol per day is the equivalent of 30 ml of pure alcohol.
The attraction is present, but the erection appears slowly and disappears quickly.
It appears that nerve conduction is altered; This happens with diabetes, radiculitis or after spinal injuries, when 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, carry out auxiliary therapy using vibration stimulation. The receptors of the head of the penis are very sensitive to vibrations, the excitement arising in them is transmitted to the cavernous nerves of the penis and it is possible to bring the organ to a state of excitement even in difficult cases.
The erection is weakening, persistent pain has appeared in the lower abdomen, urination occurs frequently and in small portions.
Signs very similar to those of the appearance of prostatitis. Although the arousal mechanism itself is not affected, due to poor health, sex simply takes a backseat. By the way, the beginning of the development of prostatitis is usually indicated by unusually rapid ejaculation. However, similar symptoms may also indicate a sexually transmitted infection.
To do:Visit a urologist, examine your prostate, and get tested for STDs. A visit to the doctor should not be postponed: 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 can be treated successfully and almost painlessly.
For all of the listed types of potency disorders, a healthy lifestyle and regular high-quality sexual relations will be of great help in restoring them. The level of testosterone in the blood depends on the frequency of intimate contacts: the more frequent they are, the more hormone is released into the blood and vice versa: the less frequent sexual intercourse, the less androgens are so necessary for a man. they are produced.
