What does power depend on?

Sufficient strength of sexual potency is necessary for men of reproductive age to maintain the ability to make full sexual contact and fertilize the egg. The level of sexual desire directly depends on the physiological and psychological health of a man.

strong man with good power

A decrease in potency is normal for any man who has reached a certain age limit. The congenital characteristics of the organism, the eating behavior and the lifestyle of the patient have a significant impact on the rate of sexual desire.

Features of the development of healthy potency

Doctors say that men have the ability to maintain sexual function throughout their lives, but the intensity of erection and sexual desire decreases 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 seen when changing sexual partners or the usual place of sexual contact, after a positive emotional outburst or joyful event.

A pronounced negative impact on the level of sexual desire is exerted by such life circumstances as:

  • psychological conflicts;
  • lack of conditions conducive to privacy;
  • excessive enthusiasm for work;
  • strenuous physical labor;
  • tactlessness of the partner.

Prolonged sexual abstinence negatively affects a man's sexual health. From an early age, the effects of a long break are quickly smoothed out. People over the age of 70 who have not had sex for more than 3 months suffer from an 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. The control of 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 testosterone norm. The optimal level of a hormonal substance is set for each man individually. 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 in the older age group gradually lose the ability to develop inadvertent arousal due to the gradual slowing down of hormonal activity in the testicles.

A significant lack of the hormone leads to 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 estrogen activity and aincreased risk of developing diabetes.

A natural decrease in testosterone levels is observed after the onset of 30 years. During this period, the bioavailability of the sex hormone begins to decrease. So, men under the age of 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 50at age 60, a man can no longer have sex more often than once a week.

Causes of erectile dysfunction

Andrologists confirm the direct dependence of healthy sexual potency on:

  • psychological state. Overwork and psycho-traumatic factors, depressive states and various phobias inhibit the transmission of signals of sexual arousal, promote the release of substances that suppress potency;
  • vascular health. Elastic and elastic arterial vessels are necessary to conduct blood to the penis. Sufficient tone of the venous channels allows prolonged sexual contact;
  • state of the cavernous tissue of the penis. The presence of cavernous insufficiency leads to a lower erection;
  • health of the peripheral nerves of the small pelvis. Damage to nerve cells leads to a decrease in the sensitivity of the intimate area.

A negative impact on the state of sexual strength and endurance is provided by smoking, alcohol consumption and certain medications (antihistamines, sedatives).
