Of all the functions assigned to a man, the ability to reproduce is perhaps the most important.The quality of sex depends on many factors.But reproduction of sexual intercourse is only possible if there is potency.We hear this word often, but sometimes we don't fully understand its true meaning.Therefore, in this article we will try to understand what is potency in men.
Definition of the concept
The true meaning of the word "power" is the ability, the presence of sufficient force to reproduce certain actions.If we talk about male potency, the expression "certain actions" in the interpretation can be replaced with the expression "sexual intercourse".Simply put, “potency” in this context is a man’s ability to perform acts of a sexual nature.In sexology, there is no concept of female power, 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 affected by poor lifestyle choices or taking strong medications.Here is a complete list of negative factors:
- poor diet, excess weight;
- the presence of chronic diseases;
- taking potent drugs, narcotic substances;
- long-term sexual abstinence;
- irregular sleep, poor lifestyle;
- hard and regular physical work;
- genetic predisposition;
- tactless behavior of a partner who oppresses a man;
- other psychological problems
All of these factors have the greatest impact on middle-aged men.
Important!Long-term abstinence can lead to a loss of male strength for members of the stronger sex who have reached the age of 70.
Excess weight is a very insidious factor.When 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 methods of testing potency, which parents do not talk about and do not teach in school, because in a 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 it, he should consult a doctor and urgently reconsider his lifestyle in order 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 potency level, the duration of sexual intercourse and the rate of arousal should be assessed.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 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 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.This is achieved through stimulation of the genitals, through 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 through exposure to external stimuli.These may include certain smells, images, music, taste sensations, muffled words, etc.
- Spontaneous erection (morning or evening).This 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 very closely related to power.We are talking about libido, that is, sexual attraction, generally of an unconscious nature..While potency is directly the ability to have sex, libido is desire itself, the sexual instinct.And although these concepts mean different things, they are directly dependent on each other.A decrease in libido levels leads to a lack of erection which, as we have discovered, is the main indicator of potency level.
Power level standards
In sexology, there are no standards regarding 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 into the vagina during sexual intercourse).
This is due to the fact that each man has individual body characteristics and everyone has their own standard.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.In addition, it is important to regularly consult a urologist to maintain your 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 permit sexual intercourse.This is the inability to get the penis erect by any means.The causes of impotence are the same as those caused by a decrease in the level of male power.
Be careful!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 is worth doing everything possible in advance to avoid loss of power.It is necessary to lead a correct lifestyle, be attentive to the body's alarm signals, not to overwork yourself with exhausting physical work and not to abuse potent drugs and narcotic substances.But if you notice that despite all your efforts, signs of impotence appear, you should under no circumstances self-medicate!Only a urologist can solve this problem!
