When figuring out how to eliminate erectile dysfunction, increase or normalize potency, it is not always clear what potency means and what is considered normal.Perceiving the concept as the ability to conceive and satisfy a woman, men are right.But sexual power includes some other aspects that should be discussed in more detail.
What is power?
The meaning of the word is defined as "the ability to perform, produce, create."It turns out that potency is reproduction and fulfillment of male sexual duties.Sexologists define potency in men as the ability to perform reproductive functions.A fairly narrow and applied understanding, characteristic:
- the ability to ejaculate with high-quality sperm;
- stability of erectile function;
- speed of manifestation of excitement;
- duration of sexual relations;
- the ability to obtain satisfaction and please your partner.
In the broadest sense of the word, potency refers to the ability to be sexually active and become a parent.Identifying the concept with the number and frequency of contacts is not entirely correct, just like libido: the concepts are not synonyms, but only components of the general sexual behavior of a man.
The components of sexuality: libido, erection, fertility, depend on several factors.In particular, the level of testosterone concentration in the blood.The male hormone determines desire, the possibility of conceiving a baby and erectile function.The peak of testosterone synthesis occurs between the ages of 25 and 30, but psychologists believe that not all men can boast of high potency during this period of time.An increased desire and the ability to have frequent contacts, yes, if the body is normally healthy, but the ability to satisfy a partner and the prolongation of acts do not always accompany young men.
In addition, erectile function can be affected by negative external factors: stress, moral and mental stress.Most often, it is after 30 years that a man reaches a certain financial, emotional and psychological stability, so potency also returns to normal.
Power norm indicators.
Having understood the power, what it is, it is necessary to determine the norms of the indicator.However, this is difficult because each man has his own characteristics.Some people can maintain an erection for 20-25 minutes, while for others 5 minutes is too long.
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 under certain circumstances, regardless of the man's wishes, should not be considered a deviation from the norm.This may be the influence of external and internal factors that have nothing to do with the capacity for sexual behavior.It is impossible to accurately determine quantitative indicators, but there are generally accepted gradations:
- The man between 20 and 30 years old must have at least 4 sexual relations in 7 days;
- 30-35 years – at least 3 events 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 man.It should be noted that in 69-72% of cases the potency is preserved after 60 years.Today, sexologists note that among older patients there are many more men whose potential is higher than that of children aged 17 to 23.But pathologies with an almost complete absence of libido are more common among young men under 25 years of age.
Important!It is fundamentally wrong to link the size of the sexual organ and potency;Sexual activity does not change depending on size.The only exceptions are those men for whom size is the determining factor and, due to their “insufficient length”, the man himself rejects a normal sexual life.But if sexual intercourse lasts less than 2 minutes, it is worth paying attention to it, especially when this is the norm for a man, and not random premature ejaculation.
Impact on the potency of chronic diseases.
Some of the chronic pathologies can manifest themselves as a decrease in erection and libido, the main components of male sexuality.Particularly dangerous chronic diseases include dysfunctions 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 related, so any disease causes chronic urinary retention, which leads to the development of cystitis, nephritis and stone formation.All factors alter the synthesis of testosterone, which manifests itself in a decrease in male strength.Pathogens such as chlamydia, ureaplasma and gonococci alter the microflora and affect the prostate and appendages.Lack of treatment can cause infertility.
- Diseases of the cardiovascular system.lead to irreversible changes in large vessels and capillaries.Disruption of blood supply causes the destruction of the vascular network of the genital organ, which also causes the absence of an erection and a decrease in 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, there is 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 in decreased libido and total impotence.
Regardless of the severity, periods of exacerbation and chronic pathologies, they always affect male sexual potency.Complete loss of abilities and fertility can only be avoided with early detection of the disease, timely initiation of therapy and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle.
