When discovering how to eliminate erectile dysfunction, increase or normalize potency, it is not always clear what potency means and what is considered normal.Perceiving conception as the ability to conceive and satisfy a woman, men are right.But sexual power includes several other aspects that need to be discussed in more detail.
What is potency?
The meaning of the word is defined as "the ability to perform, produce, create".It turns out that potency is reproduction and the fulfillment of male sexual duties.Sexologists define potency in men as the ability to perform reproductive functions.A rather narrow and applied meaning, characteristic:
- the ability to ejaculate with high quality sperm;
- stability of erectile function;
- speed of emergence of excitement;
- duration of sexual intercourse;
- the ability to gain pleasure and satisfy your partner.
In the broadest sense of the word, potency refers to the ability to be sexually active and become a father.The identification of the concept with the number and frequency of contacts is not entirely correct, just like libido - the concepts are not synonymous, but only components of the general sexual behavior of a man.
The components of sexuality: libido, erection, fertility, depend on a number of factors.In particular, the level of testosterone concentration in the blood.The male hormone determines desire, the possibility of conceiving a child and erectile function.The peak of testosterone synthesis occurs at the age of 25-30 years, but psychologists believe that not every man can boast of high potency during this period of time.Increased desire and the ability for frequent contact - yes, if the body is normally healthy, but the ability to please the partner and prolong the acts are not always companions of young people.
In addition, erectile function can be affected by negative external factors: stress, moral, mental stress.Most often, after 30 years, a man reaches a certain financial, emotional and psychological stability, due to which the power also returns to normal.
Power rate indicators
Understanding power, what it is, it is necessary to determine the rates of the indicator.However, this is difficult because each person has their own characteristics.Some people can maintain an erection for 20-25 minutes, while for others 5 minutes is too much.
Important!The concept of normal potency in men means that the patient is able to maintain the sexual organ in an erect state throughout sexual intercourse, which does not always end with ejaculation.
The absence of an erection in certain circumstances, regardless of a man's wishes, should not be considered a deviation from the norm.This can be the influence of external, internal factors that have nothing to do with the ability of sexual behavior.It is impossible to determine the quantitative indicators precisely, but there are generally accepted gradations:
- The 20-30 year old male must have at least 4 sexual intercourses in 7 days;
- 30-35 years old – at least 3 acts in 7 days;
- 60 years - at least 3 acts in 10-12 days.
These are average indicators compiled taking into account the regular relationships of a normally healthy person.It should be noted that in 69-72% of cases, potency remains after 60 years.Today, sexologists note that among elderly patients there are many more men whose potential is higher than that of boys aged 17-23.But pathologies with almost complete lack of libido are more common in young people under 25 years old.
Important!It is fundamentally wrong to link the size of the sexual organ and power;sexual activity does not change depending on the size.The only exceptions are those men for whom size is the determining factor and, because of "insufficient height", the man himself refuses a normal sex life.But if sexual intercourse lasts less than 2 minutes, it is worth paying attention, especially when this is the norm for a man, and not random early ejaculation.
Impact on the power of chronic diseases
Some of the chronic pathologies can manifest as a decrease in erection and a decrease in sexual desire - the main components of male sexuality.Particularly dangerous chronic diseases include dysfunction of the endocrine system and diseases of the pelvic organs.
Three groups of diseases affect potency:
- Pathologies of the genitourinary system.These include prostatitis, urethritis, inflammatory and/or infectious kidney lesions, and sexually transmitted diseases.The urinary and reproductive systems are closely connected, so any disease provokes chronic retention of urine, which provokes the development of cystitis, nephritis and the formation of stones.All factors disrupt the synthesis of testosterone, which is manifested in a decrease in male strength.Pathogens such as chlamydia, ureaplasma and gonococci disrupt the microflora and affect the prostate and appendages.Lack of treatment can lead to infertility.
- Diseases of the cardiovascular systemlead to irreversible changes in large vessels and capillaries.Damaged blood supply causes destruction in the vascular network of the genital organ, which also ends in the absence of erection and decreased potency.
- Psychoneurological diseases and disorders,This also includes all kinds of addictions to bad habits.Psychogenic impotence is one of the most terrible and difficult to treat.A man loses sexual desire, he has no desire, the emotional background is disturbed.Antidepressant therapy has a side effect - decreased potency.As for alcohol and drug addiction, in 100% of cases the disease ends with decreased libido and complete impotence.
Regardless of severity, periods of irritation, chronic pathologies always affect male sexual power.The complete loss of abilities and fertility can be avoided only by early detection of the disease, timely initiation of therapy and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
