Of all the functions given to men, the ability to reproduce is perhaps the most important.The quality of sex depends on many factors.But the reproduction of sexual intercourse is only possible 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 "potency" is the ability, the presence of sufficient force to reproduce certain actions.If we talk about male potency, the term "certain actions" can be replaced by the term "sexual intercourse" in the interpretation.That is, "potency" in this context is a man's ability to perform sexual acts.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, the functionality of which depends on many factors.Men's strength can decline regardless of age.It can be affected by incorrect lifestyle choices or taking strong medications.Here is the full list of negative factors:
- poor diet, overweight;
- the presence of chronic diseases;
- taking strong drugs, narcotics;
- long-term sexual abstinence;
- irregular sleep, bad lifestyle;
- regular heavy physical work;
- genetic predisposition;
- indecent behavior of the partner, which oppresses the man;
- other psychological problems
All these factors have the strongest effect on mature men.
Important!Long-term abstinence can lead to the loss of male potency in men of the stronger sex who have reached the age of 70.
Being overweight is a very insidious factor.When present in the body, testosterone levels decrease and female hormones are produced.And since the weight problem stems from improper diet and unhealthy lifestyle, which are also the causes of the disappearance of potency, it is very important to rethink your life's priorities and take care of your health.
How to determine the presence of potency
There are many basic ways to test potency that parents don't talk about and don't teach in school because polite society prefers not to talk about such things.But for a man, this is a very important question.
A morning or night erection is normal.If a man does not notice it, he should consult a doctor and urgently reconsider his lifestyle in order to identify the above negative factors.
The concept of male power includes the following important characteristics: stable erection, speed of arousal, duration of sexual contact.
To check the level of potency, it is worth assessing the duration of sexual contact and the degree of excitement.If you are unable to achieve an erection during sexual activity for a long time, this may indicate serious problems.
What is an erection
If we are talking about an erection, it is worth explaining what it is.An erection is the process of filling the cavernous bodies of the penis with blood, as a result of which the penis increases in volume, becomes flexible and is completely ready for sexual contact.The absence of an erection or its irregularity is the main indicator of a decrease in the level of male potency.There are several main types of erection:
- Reflex erection.This is achieved by stimulating the genitals, as a result of which an impulse is sent to the spinal cord, which in turn starts the erection mechanism.
- Psychogenic erection.It is achieved by recreating mental images and exposure to external stimuli.These can be certain smells, images, music, tastes, soft, muffled speech, etc.
- Spontaneous erection (morning or night).This is a feature of the body and can be observed in all representatives of the stronger sex.The absence of a spontaneous erection is considered a serious disorder that may indicate sexual dysfunction.
Libido and potency
There is another concept that is very 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 contact, libido itself is the desire, the sexual instinct.And although these concepts have different meanings, they are still directly dependent on each other.A decrease in the level of libido leads to a lack of erection, which, as we learned, is the main indicator of the level of potency.
Potency level standards
In sexology, there are no standards for the level of potency.It is impossible to determine the average duration of sexual intercourse and the speed of arousal of the penis.The size of the penis and the number of copulatory frictions (movement of the penis in the vagina during intercourse) cannot be determined either.
This is due to the fact that each person has individual characteristics of the body, and each has its own standards.Only a urologist can accurately determine the presence of a problem if the patient has certain complaints.
A man should monitor his health and should not ignore the warning signs, even if he noticed them only once.In addition, it is important to visit the urologist regularly to preserve your virility and prevent possible complications.
Impotence
Impotence or erectile dysfunction is a complete lack of potency in which the size, firmness and straightness of the penis are insufficient for sexual intercourse.It is impossible for the penis to become erect in any way.The causes of impotence are the same as the decrease in the level of male strength.
Listen!Impotence is permanent.
This problem can have a detrimental effect on a man's emotional and psychological state.After all, a man's strength is a fundamental factor in the normal life of a representative of the stronger sex.
Conclusion
It is worth doing everything in advance to prevent the loss of potency.It is necessary to lead a correct lifestyle, pay attention to the alarm signals of the body, do not overload yourself with exhausting physical work, and do not abuse strong drugs and narcotics.But if you find that despite all your efforts, signs of impotence appear, you should not self-medicate under any circumstances!Only a urologist can solve this problem!
