Even relatively young people experience sexual weakness - medical statistics show that 39% of men after 40 years have been treated for impotence, and after 50 - already 69%. However, it should be noted that the majority of those who "discover" erectile dysfunction actually just need proper rest and a review of their usual but unhealthy lifestyle. It must be taken into account 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 influenced by age, temperament, lifestyle and relationship in a partner. Statistical data show a wide range in terms of the norms of numerical indicators in the intimate life of different people. Let me give some of them:
- estimated frequency of sexual intercourse among pubescent males is from three times a day to once a month;
- in 30-45 years, sex once a week does not mean weak potential - only if it happens less often, doctors suggest deviations from the norm;
- men 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 reasons was registered only in every fifth case; often the cause lies in poor physical health.
Signs of potential deviation from the norm
Let's look at 5 different cases of potential disorders to understand the external signs that indicate normal fatigue and stress, and what are the signals of serious disorders in the body.
There is practically no spontaneous erection, as well as psychogenic (from thought) and reflex (from touch), the penis has stopped "waking up" in the morning.
Most likely, vascular pathology is to blame: atherosclerosis, hypertension, coronary heart disease. Venous disorders are possible: often erectile blood does not remain in the erect penis, but immediately leaves it through the dorsal vein.
Smoking worsens the vascular problem: the penile arteries of a smoker shrink by half, which means that the erection will be half as weak.
How to help yourself: If you feel unwell, you need to measure your blood pressure, and if you find a change in it, immediately seek the advice of a doctor. It is worth changing your diet, minimizing fatty meats and fast carbohydrates (sugar and products containing them), and make sure you stop smoking. If you cannot quit smoking on your own, you should consult a psychotherapist or use replacement therapy at first, for example, nicotine patches. With the outflow of venous blood, doctors often prescribe resection (removal) of the dorsal vein where the leakage occurs.Spontaneous and morning erections are good, but during caressing they do not occur or disappear at the first friction.
This seems like a typical case of psychogenic ED associated with self-doubt, anxious anticipation of failure, or fear of not satisfying a partner. Potential is also affected by constant overwork and insufficient sleep.
Solution to the problem: you need to give your body a rest. Do not believe that great people sleep 4 hours a day and their quality of life is not affected. There is no way you can solve a global problem that is worth neglecting your health and natural needs. Sleeping 7-8 hours a day allows the body to recover and produce the necessary amount of testosterone for full sex. Arguments and negativity in a relationship with a girl also affect the potential, so it is better to limit communication that does not bring joy and pleasure.Attraction seems to be less and less, and to achieve an erection, you have to make an effort.
There is a lack of male sex hormones - androgens, especially testosterone. This happens due to old age and obesity, excessive use of alcohol or anabolic steroids. Many athletes, in pursuit of the highest results, lose their normal potential; Anabolic steroids act similarly to testosterone, and their use causes a decrease in the production of this hormone in the body. Basically, taking anabolic steroids is chemical isolation.
How to get your libido back: get rid of excess weight, but you need to do this without the help of chemical "sticks", that is, drugs to burn fat quickly and gain muscle mass. The best solution is to visit an endocrinologist for testing instead of blindly trying to change your hormonal balance. Do not forget that the maximum dose of safe alcohol per day is equivalent to 30 ml of pure alcohol.The attraction is there, but the erection comes slowly and disappears quickly.
It seems that nerve conduction is interrupted; This happens with diabetes, radiculitis, or after a spinal injury, when the area of the spinal cord through which sexual stimulation signals travel from the brain to the penis is affected.
How to increase potency: visit an andrologist and neurologist, get rid of radiculitis, carry out additional therapy using vibration stimulation. The receptors of the head of the penis are very sensitive to vibrations, the excitation that arises in them is sent to the cavernous nerves of the penis, and it is possible to bring the organ into an excited state even in difficult cases.Erections are getting weaker, annoying pain in the lower abdomen has appeared, urination occurs frequently and in small portions.
Symptoms are very similar to the onset of prostatitis. Although the stimulation mechanism itself is not affected, due to poor health, sex simply fades into the background. In this way, the beginning of the development of prostatitis is often indicated by unusually rapid ejaculation. However, the same symptoms may also indicate a sexually transmitted infection.
What to do: visit a urologist, check the prostate and get an STD test. You can not delay a visit to the doctor: sexual infections trigger the development of prostatitis, and in its advanced form, the prostate tissue changes irreversibly, which can lead to the onset of impotence that cannot be cured. In the early stages, inflammation of the prostate gland can be treated successfully and almost painlessly.
For all types of potential disorders listed, a healthy lifestyle and frequent high-quality sex will be a good help in their recovery. The level of testosterone in the blood depends on the frequency of intercourse - the more frequent, the more hormones are released into the blood, and vice versa - the less frequent sex, the less androgens are so necessary for men. produced.
