Of all the functions attributed to man, 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 real 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 capacity, the presence of sufficient force to reproduce certain actions.If we are talking about male potency, the phrase “certain actions” in the interpretation can be replaced by the phrase “sexual relations”.In other words, “potency” in this context is the man’s ability to perform acts of a sexual nature.In sexology there is no concept of female potency, which is why 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 decrease regardless of age.It can be affected by poor lifestyle choices or the use of strong medications.Here is a complete list of negative factors:
- inadequate nutrition, excess weight;
- the presence of chronic diseases;
- taking potent drugs, narcotic substances;
- prolonged sexual abstinence;
- irregular sleep, poor lifestyle;
- regular heavy physical work;
- genetic predisposition;
- tactless behavior of a partner who oppresses 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 masculine strength in 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 weight problem comes from poor diet and an unhealthy lifestyle, which are also the reasons for the disappearance of potency, it is very important to reconsider your life priorities and take care of your health.
How to determine the presence of power
There are several basic ways to test potency, which parents do not talk about or teach at school, because in polite society they prefer not to talk about such things.But for a man this is a very important question.
Having morning or nighttime erections 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 are unable to get an erection during sexual activity for a long time, it may indicate serious problems.
What is an erection
If we talk about erection, it's worth explaining what it is.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 elastic and completely ready for sexual intercourse.The absence of an 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 genital organs, through which an impulse is sent to the spinal cord, which in turn triggers the erection mechanism.
- Psychogenic erection.Achieved through the recreation of mental images, as well as exposure to external stimuli.These can be certain smells, images, music, taste sensations, silent and muffled speech, etc.
- Spontaneous erection (morning or night).It is a feature of the body and is observed in all representatives of the stronger sex.The 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.Decreased libido levels lead to lack of erection, which, as we found out, is the main indicator of potency level.
Power level norms
In sexology there are no standards for the level of potency.It is impossible to determine the average duration of sexual intercourse and the rate of penis arousal.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 sexual intercourse).
This is due to the fact that each man has individual body characteristics and everyone has their 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 warning signs, even if they were noticed only once.Furthermore, it is important to regularly visit a urologist to maintain virility 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 impossibility of bringing the penis into an erect state by any means.The causes of impotence are the same as those caused by a decrease in the level of male power.
Pay attention!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 in the normal life of a representative of the stronger sex.
Conclusion
It's worth doing everything you can in advance to avoid losing power.It is necessary to lead a correct lifestyle, pay attention to the body's alarm signals, not overexert yourself with exhausting physical work and not abuse potent and narcotic drugs.But if you find that, despite all your efforts, signs of impotence appear, you should under no circumstances self-medicate!Only a urologist can solve this problem!
