Males of reproductive age need to have enough strength to maintain the ability to have intercourse and fertilize an egg. The level of sexual desire directly depends on the psycho-physiological health of the man.
Reduced potency is normal for any male who has reached a certain age limit. Innate characteristics of the body, eating behavior and lifestyle of the patient have a significant influence on the speed of sexual desire.
Characteristics of healthy potential growth
Doctors say that men are capable of maintaining sexual function throughout life, but erection strength and libido decrease over time. Male sexual development often has a pathological cause.
The maximum strength of sexual potency can be achieved when there is sufficient emotional stimulation and complete psychological well-being. Increased production of sex hormones is often noted with a change of sexual partners or a change in the usual sexual location, after a positive emotional outburst or a joyful event.
Life circumstances such as:
- psychological conflict;
- lack of suitable conditions for intimacy;
- excessive enthusiasm for work;
- exhausting physical labor;
- partner ingenuity.
Prolonged menopause has a negative impact on men's sexual health. At a young age, the effects of a long period of rest are quickly tempered. People over 70 who have not had sex for more than 3 months have an increased risk of irreversible erectile dysfunction.
The Importance of Testosterone for Sexual Health
The degree of sexual attraction to the opposite sex is directly related to the endocrine activity of the gonads. The strength of libido is mediated by the action of testosterone, which is secreted in the testes. The control of male sex hormone secretion is carried out by organic compounds secreted by cells of the pituitary gland. This means that the main role in maintaining male viability is in the health of the organs of the reproductive system and the brain.
In medicine, there is no universal definition of testosterone standard. Optimal levels of a hormone are established for each man. During the day, varying amounts of testosterone were found in the plasma of patients.
Hormone levels reach their minimum after midnight. Hormonal levels rise sharply in the morning, when many men may experience involuntary erections. As people age, they gradually lose their ability to develop sex because the hormonal activity of the testicles gradually slows down.
A significant hormone deficiency leads to a decrease in libido and a complete loss of interest in sex, the development of psycho-emotional and cardiovascular abnormalities, metabolic disorders and weight gain, increased activityestrogen activity and increase the risk of developing diabetes.
A natural decrease in testosterone levels is observed after the onset of 30 years of age. During this period, the bioavailability of sex hormones begins to decrease. So, men under 30 years of age desire sex about 5-7 times a week, after the age of 30-35, the level of sex decreases to 2-3 times a week, and after the age of 50-60 a man can not have. Have sex more than once a week.
Causes of Erectile Dysfunction
Andrologists confirm the direct dependence of healthy sexual potency on:
- psychological state. Overwork and traumatic factors, depressive states and various phobias inhibit the transmission of aphrodisiac signals, promoting the release of potent inhibitors;
- vascular health. The dilated and elastic blood vessels are needed to carry blood to the penis. Sufficient sound of venous tubes allows prolonged sex;
- condition of the cavernous tissue of the penis. The presence of cavernous bodies leads to poorer erections;
- the health of the peripheral nerves of the small pelvis. Damage to nerve cells leads to a decrease in the sensitivity of the intimate area.
Smoking, alcohol consumption, and certain medications (antihistamines, tranquilizers) have a negative impact on sexual strength and endurance.
