Sexual potency (lat. potentia - strength) is the body's ability to react sexually.
In sexology, the concept of potency is used exclusively in relation to male sexuality.By “strength” or potency we understand certain sexual capabilities of a man, be it the degree of tension of the penis, the speed of erection, sexual excesses or the ability to lead an intense sex life.In this regard, the concept of potency is close to the concept of the type of sexual constitution.
Hypertension and potency - is there a connection?
However, a man’s potency cannot always be equated with the rhythm of sexual life he actually practices: often his sexual capabilities turn out to be higher than the frequency of sexual intercourse (coitus) that he adheres to.Foods that stimulate sexual desire are known, which also increases a man’s sexual performance and always has a beneficial effect on health if it does not turn into an end in itself.
Why do men refuse sex?
Perhaps, only on the honeymoon, when changing sexual partners, or after a period of sexual abstinence, does a man get as close as possible to the ceiling of his sexual capabilities.On other days, a lot of reasons (psychological conflicts at work and at home, lack of adequate conditions for intimacy, sexual coldness of the wife) can block his potency.Sexual potency disorders are manifested in the inability to achieve a state of sexual arousal, cause an appropriate reaction of the penis and perform sexual intercourse.
Increasing potency using natural methods
- Nutrition plays a primary role in the functioning of the entire body.Food must contain all the nutrients necessary for the body, especially vitamins and minerals necessary for potency, the main of which are zinc, selenium, vitamin E, B, C. Aphrodisiacs - foods that enhance sexual desire and sexual function - can have this set of nutrients.
- Special exercises to increase potency are aimed at increasing blood circulation in the pelvic organs and training the potency muscle - the pubococcygeus muscles.These exercises do not take much time and give noticeable results after the first week of training.
- Sexual function and sexual desire are directly related to the level of the male sex hormone testosterone.Low levels of testosterone in the male body cause a decrease in potency and sexual performance.This is especially true for middle-aged and older men, whose testosterone levels begin to decrease gradually (by about 1-1.5% per year after 25 years).
- Excess weight in men is the worst enemy of potency.The fact is that excess weight not only reduces testosterone levels, but also increases the level of estrogen - female sex hormones, the excess level of which leads not only to erectile dysfunction, but also to a deterioration in the general health of men.In addition, excess weight leads to cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, which are also serious factors in reducing potency and threatening health.
- Stop drinking alcoholic beverages, smoking and using drugs.
- A sedentary lifestyle contributes to a decrease in potency.It has been noted that representatives of sedentary professions have a more pronounced tendency to decrease potency than representatives of professions whose occupation is associated with physical activity.Therefore, another effective way to increase potency is physical activity and active sports.
- Often problems with potency arise due to psychological experiences.This could be the consequences of unsuccessful sexual intercourse, or uncertainty about one’s sexual capabilities.In any case, you need to get rid of sexual complexes that lead to a decrease in potency, if not on your own, then with the help of doctors: a sex therapist or psychotherapist.
- Avoid stress, prolonged depression and anxiety.When the body is exposed to any experiences or stress, sexual function is inhibited.This is due to the ancient mechanism of fertilization, the essence of which is to ensure that offspring are born in the most favorable conditions.
- Get at least 8 hours of sleep a day.Sleep should take place under optimal conditions in complete silence and darkness.
The issue of increasing potency must be approached comprehensively, then the effectiveness of treatment will be much higher.
