Sufficient force of sexual potency is needed for males of reproductive age to maintain the ability to make full sexual contact and fertilize the ovum. The level of sexual desire directly depends on the physiological and psychological health of a man.
Declining potency is normal for any man who has reached a certain age limit. The congenital characteristics of the body, the eating behavior and the lifestyle of the patient have a significant impact on the rate of sexual desire.
Characteristics of the development of healthy potency.
Doctors say that men have the ability to maintain sexual function throughout their lives, but the intensity of the erection and sexual desire decrease over time. The development of male menopause usually has pathological causes.
The maximum strength of sexual potency can be achieved with sufficient emotional arousal and complete psychological comfort. Increased production of sex hormones is usually noticed when changing sexual partners or changing the usual place of sexual contact, after a positive emotional outburst or joyous event.
Circumstances of life such as:
- psychological conflicts;
- lack of adequate conditions for privacy;
- excessive enthusiasm for work;
- exhausting physical work;
- lack of tact from the partner.
Prolonged sexual abstinence negatively affects a man's sexual health. At a young age, the effects of prolonged rest quickly soften. People over 70 years of age who have not had sexual intercourse for more than 3 months are at increased risk of irreversible loss of erectile capacity.
The importance of testosterone for sexual health
The level of sexual attraction to the opposite sex is directly related to the hormonal activity of the gonads. The strength of sexual desire is mediated by the action of testosterone, which is secreted in the testicles. Control over the secretion of the male sex hormone is carried out by organic compounds secreted by the cells of the pituitary gland. This means that the main role in maintaining male viability is played by the health of the organs of the reproductive system and the brain.
In medicine, there is no universal concept of the norm of testosterone. The optimal level of a hormonal substance is set individually for each man. During the day, different amounts of testosterone are found in the plasma of patients.
Hormone levels reach a minimum after midnight. The indicator of the hormonal substance rises sharply in the morning, when many men can experience an involuntary erection. People of the older age group gradually lose the ability to develop inadvertent arousal due to the gradual decrease in hormonal activity of the testicles.
A significant lack of the hormone implies a decrease in libido and a complete loss of interest in sexual contacts, the development of psycho-emotional and cardiological abnormalities, metabolic disorders and weight gain, increased activity of estrogens and an increased risk of develop diabetes.
A natural decline in testosterone levels is seen after the onset of 30 years of age. During this period, the bioavailability of the sex hormone begins to decrease. So, men under 30 experience sexual desire about 5-7 times a week, after the onset of 30-35 years, the level of sexual contact decreases to 2-3 times a week, and after the age of 50 to 60 years old a man cannot have sexual intercourse more than 1 time per week.
Causes of erection disorders
Andrologists confirm the direct dependence of healthy sexual potency on:
- psychological state. Overwork and psychotraumatic factors, depressive states and various phobias inhibit the transmission of signals of sexual arousal, promote the release of substances that suppress potency;
- vascular healthElastic and elastic arterial vessels are necessary to conduct blood to the penis. Sufficient tone of the venous ducts allows prolonged sexual contact;
- condition of the cavernous tissue of the penis. The presence of cavernous insufficiency leads to an inferior erection;
- health of the peripheral nerves of the small pelvis. Damage to the nerve cells leads to a decrease in the sensitivity of the intimate area.
Smoking, drinking alcohol and certain medications (antihistamines, sedatives) provide a negative impact on the state of sexual strength and stamina.
