Of all the functions entrusted to man, the ability to reproduce is perhaps the most important.The quality of sex depends on many factors.But reproduction of sexual intercourse is possible only if there is potency.We often hear this word, but sometimes we don't fully understand its true meaning.Therefore, in this article we will try to understand what potency is in men.
Definition of the concept
The true meaning of the word "power" is the ability, the presence of sufficient strength to reproduce certain actions.If we talk about male potency, the phrase “certain actions” in the interpretation can be replaced with the phrase “sexual intercourse”.That is, “potency” in this context is a man's ability to perform acts of a sexual nature.In sexology there is no concept of female potency, so we can only talk about representatives of the stronger sex.
Negative factors affecting potency
The human body is a very complex system, whose functionality depends on many factors.Male strength can decline regardless of age.It can be influenced by poor lifestyle choices or by taking strong medications.Here is a complete list of negative factors:
- poor diet, excess weight;
- the presence of chronic diseases;
- taking strong drugs, narcotic substances;
- long-term sexual abstinence;
- irregular sleep, poor lifestyle;
- hard and regular physical work;
- genetic predisposition;
- tactless behavior of a partner oppressing a man;
- other psychological problems
All these factors have the strongest impact on mature men.
Important!Long-term abstinence can lead to the loss of male strength for members of the stronger sex who have reached 70 years of age.
Excess weight is a very insidious factor.When it is present in the body, testosterone levels decrease and female hormones are produced.And since the problem of weight arises from poor nutrition and an unhealthy lifestyle, which are also the reasons for the disappearance of potency, it is very important to reconsider the priorities of your life and take care of your health.
How to determine the presence of power
There are several basic methods of testing potency, which parents do not talk about or teach in school, because in polite society they prefer not to talk about such things.But for a man this is a very important question.
Having erections in the morning or at night is normal.If a man does not detect this, he should consult a doctor and urgently reconsider his lifestyle to identify the above negative factors.
The concept of male strength includes the following important characteristics: stable erection, speed of arousal, duration of sexual intercourse.
To check the level of potency, it is worth evaluating the duration of sexual intercourse and the rate of arousal.If you cannot achieve an erection during sexual activity for a long time, this could indicate serious problems.
What is an erection
If we talk about erection, it is worth explaining what it is.Erection is the process of filling the corpora cavernosa of the penis with blood, as a result of which the penis increases in volume, becomes elastic and completely ready for sexual intercourse.The absence of erection or its irregularity is the main indicator of a decrease in the level of male strength.There are several main types of erections:
- Reflex erection.It is achieved through stimulation of the genitals, thanks to which an impulse is sent to the spinal cord, which in turn triggers the erection mechanism.
- Psychogenic erection.Obtained by recreating mental images, as well as exposure to external stimuli.This could be certain smells, images, music, taste sensations, quiet and muffled speech, etc.
- Spontaneous erection (morning or evening).It is a feature of the body and is observed in all representatives of the stronger sex.Lack of spontaneous erection is considered a serious disorder that may indicate sexual dysfunction.
Libido and potency
There is another concept that is closely related to potency.We are talking about libido, which means sexual attraction, usually of an unconscious nature..While potency is directly the ability to have sexual intercourse, libido is the desire itself, the sexual instinct.And although these concepts mean different things, they directly depend on each other.A decrease in the level of libido leads to lack of erection, which, as we found out, is the main indicator of the level of potency.
Power level regulations
In sexology there are no norms for the level of potency.It is impossible to determine the average duration of sexual intercourse and the rate of arousal of the penis.It is also impossible to determine the size of the penis and the number of copulatory frictions (movements of the penis in the vagina during intercourse).
This is due to the fact that each man has individual characteristics of the body and each has its own norm.Only a urologist can accurately determine the presence of a problem if the patient has certain complaints.
A man should monitor his health and not ignore the warning signs, even if they were noticed only once.Furthermore, it is important to visit a urologist regularly to maintain your manhood and prevent possible complications.
Impotence
Impotence or erectile dysfunction is a complete lack of potency, in which the size, tension and straightness of the penis are not sufficient to perform sexual intercourse.This is the inability to bring the penis into an erect state by any means.The causes of impotence are the same as those caused by the decrease in the level of male power.
Be careful!The impotence is permanent.
This problem can have a detrimental effect on a man's emotional and psychological state.After all, male strength is a fundamental factor for the normal life of a representative of the stronger sex.
Conclusion
It's worth doing everything you can in advance to prevent power loss.It is necessary to lead a correct lifestyle, be attentive to the body's alarm signals, not overload yourself with exhausting physical work and not abuse potent drugs and narcotic substances.But if despite all your efforts you notice signs of impotence appearing, you absolutely should not self-medicate!Only a urologist can solve this problem!
