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 the fulfillment of male sexual duties.Sexologists define potency in men as the ability to perform reproductive functions.A very restricted and applied understanding, characteristic:
- the ability to ejaculate with high-quality sperm;
- stability of erectile function;
- speed of manifestation of excitement;
- duration of sexual intercourse;
- 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 father.Identifying the concept with the number and frequency of contacts is not entirely correct, as is libido - the concepts are not synonymous, but only components of a man's general sexual behavior.
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 25 and 30 years of age, but psychologists believe that not every man can boast of high potency during this period.Increased desire and ability for frequent contacts - yes, if the body is normally healthy, but the ability to satisfy a partner and prolonging acts are not always companions for young people.
Also, erectile function can be affected by negative external factors: stress, moral and mental stress.Most of the time, it is after the age of 30 that a man achieves some financial, emotional and psychological stability, causing his potency to also return 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 much.
Important!The concept of normal potency in men means that the patient is able to keep the sexual organ erect throughout sexual intercourse, which does not always end with ejaculation.
The absence of an erection under certain circumstances, regardless of the man's will, 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:
- Men aged 20 to 30 must have at least 4 sexual intercourse in 7 days;
- 30-35 years old – at least 3 acts in 7 days;
- 60 years old – 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 potency remains after 60 years.Today, sexologists note that there are many more men among older patients, whose potential is higher than that of boys aged 17 to 23.But pathologies with an almost total 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 with 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 “insufficient length”, the man himself refuses a normal sexual 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 accidental premature ejaculation.
Impact on the potency of chronic diseases
Some of the chronic pathologies can manifest themselves as decreased erections and decreased 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 STDs.The urinary and reproductive systems are closely linked, so any disease causes chronic urinary retention, which provokes the development of cystitis, nephritis and stone formation.All factors disrupt the synthesis of testosterone, which manifests itself in a decrease in male strength.Pathogens such as chlamydia, ureaplasma and gonococci disrupt the microflora and affect the prostate and its appendages.Lack of treatment can lead to infertility.
- Diseases of the cardiovascular systemlead to irreversible changes in large vessels and capillaries.Impaired 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, 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 a decrease in libido and complete impotence.
Regardless of the severity, periods of exacerbation, chronic pathologies always affect male sexual potency.Complete loss of capabilities and fertility can only be avoided with early detection of the disease, timely initiation of therapy and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
