There is nothing scarier to a “real guy” than having problems with his “best friend.”
Statistics dispassionately report: in every second bedroom, various types of sexual problems occur. Sometimes on one side, sometimes on the other. The difference, however, is that if a woman “didn’t work out” she doesn’t make a problem out of it. On the other hand, when a “mishap” happens to him – it almost means the end of the world. And no wonder, because men identify very strongly with their sexuality and erotic performance, and any failure in this regard is a cause for great concern for them. However, it would be much better if the gentlemen, instead of worrying, would take the bull by the horns and look for the source of the problem or professional help.
Unfortunately, only a few percent of men with bedroom problems see a doctor. You can call them “lucky” – because thanks to the quick treatment they return to full fitness. It turns out that most male problems are temporary problems that can be dealt with. And win!
Erectile dysfunction – when to seek help?
The first enemy of true masculinity is erectile dysfunction. There are several different phenomena under this name. Sometimes it is a condition in which an erection does not appear at all. Sometimes the penis stiffens, but not enough to have a satisfactory intercourse. And sometimes, although it achieves the desired hardness, it loses it at some point. If such a situation happens once – it is already difficult for a lover, but you can still say “it is temporary, it will pass, the next time it will be better”. The male ego suffers, but hope does not die. But if erection problems occur several times, the man becomes afraid. What I feel? He is desperate, the world is slipping from under his feet. The threat of the label of impotent peeks into the eyes – after all, what is a guy who “can’t” worth?
There is a vicious cycle: the more a man is afraid of potency problems, the more likely they will occur. And that – in the opinion of men – ashamed to admit such a powerlessness, instead of seeking help, they begin to avoid intercourse – this is the easiest way not to confront the problem. Is this method good? Definitely not. Because not only does the problem persist, but there are also misunderstandings with the partner who feels unwanted, unattractive and rejected by her lover. And when the atmosphere breaks down between partners, the desire drops even more, and sex completely stops “pretending”.
How do I get out of this vicious circle? First of all, approach the problem with calmness. You have to remember that temporary erectile dysfunction They happen to most men, especially if they are exhausted or very stressed. Only when the problems persist for some time are they treated as a problem requiring consultation with a specialist. But beware: even if the problems drag on, no doctor will call you impotent. This must not be done. He will sooner hear about sexual dysfunction or problems with potency. Impotence is a negative concept that can only aggravate the problem, and that’s not the point …
Some dietary supplements, such as N ° 1 Libido HIM – a libido supplement for men, which you can buy at an attractive price on Medonet Market, also act as supportive in the case of problems with the proper functioning of the sexual organs.
The causes of erectile dysfunction
The causes of erectile dysfunction are complex. They can be emotional or psychogenic – it will be, for example, depression or a subconscious aversion to a partner, and sometimes to sex in general. The reason may be hormonal disorders, when low levels of male sex hormones do not “feed” the libido, the man is not aroused enough, so he cannot have an erection. The causes are also neurological (e.g. multiple sclerosis), anatomical or iatrogenic (caused by damage e.g. after accidents or operations).
It also happens that erection problems are the first sign of other, completely unrelated to erotic diseases, for example prostate problems whether kidney failure, diabetes or atherosclerosis. The latter two diseases quite quickly have a negative impact on such a delicate sphere as the erectile mechanism: diabetic neuropathy involves damaged nerves, and angiopathy – blood vessels. Meanwhile, for an erection to occur, both circulation and innervation must function perfectly.
All these problems have one thing in common: each requires consultation with a specialist. And it is worth considering medical help, especially since after the cause has been cured, sexual performance returns in one hundred percent.
It is worth using Men’s Power preparations – a set of supplements for men YANGO, which includes Siberian ginseng, saw palmetto and tribulus tribulus, which have a positive effect on male libido and potency.
The blue pill – Viagra
What do men with erectile dysfunction ask doctors most often? Oh magical blue pill – Viagra (or any other drug containing sildenafil, vardenafil or tadanafil). Fama says he’ll get any guy on his feet, making his penis stand at attention and be as hard as steel. There is a lot of truth in this, although you need to know a bit about Viagra to be able to actually use it.
The main active ingredient in Viagra is nitric oxide, which acts on the blood vessels to increase their flexibility and efficiency. In addition, it stimulates a whole cascade of various biochemical changes that lead to an erection. The composition of the pill has also been enriched with substances that inhibit the process of penile relaxation, maintain and prolong the erection. Therefore, if the problem lies in circulatory disorders, Viagra will actually deal with it immediately. However, for the blue pill to help, the man must want sex and must be aroused (that is, his partner must “turn him on”). If there is no excitement, you will not get an erection, even after taking Viagra.
Sildenafil is not a miracle solution to all male troubles, just a drug that has positive effects on erection, but also possible side effects. Therefore, it should be prescribed by a doctor after examining the patient, because, for example, it should not be used by men with heart problems or high blood pressure.
Interesting fact: prostaglandin injections, administered with a tiny needle directly into the cavernous bodies of the penis, have also been used for some time. Prostaglandins have the ability to inhibit muscle relaxation. It is a one-time procedure performed immediately before the planned intercourse.
Penile implants – when are they used?
In cases where pharmacotherapy does not help or the penis is damaged, e.g. after operations, the so-called penile implants. These are cavernous body prostheses, i.e. those elements that stiffen during stimulation and allow the penis to be inserted into the vagina. Special cylinders are implanted into the corpus cavernosum, connected to a fluid reservoir and a pump hidden in the scrotum. When a man wants to get an erection, he activates the pump and the cavernous bodies fill with fluid. Such an erection cannot be distinguished from “natural”. Plus: the treatment is reimbursed. Cons: Requires a complicated and lengthy operation.
Premature ejaculation – causes
This is the second most common male nightmare. This is a state where ejaculation occurs so quickly that intercourse is not satisfactory for both parties. Because although a man experiences physical discharge as a result of ejaculation, a woman has no chance of orgasm – statistically speaking, she needs at least 10 minutes of stimulation and intercourse to feel satisfied. A man, although he often needs less than three minutes, seeing and feeling dissatisfied with his partner, is also not able to derive satisfaction from being close. Although there is no rule here: there are couples in which a woman is satisfied with a short intercourse – this is most often the case when she is not a big fan of sex herself and treats it as a marriage, onerous duty. In this case, rapid ejaculation in your partner is not so much a problem as a solution.
Nevertheless, most men dream to be able to make love like a real macho for many hours, and preferably all night (regardless of the fact that few women dream about such long-distance close-ups). And ejaculation after two or three minutes is a reason for them to complex. It also happens that a man “shoots so fast” that he ejaculates before the penis is even inserted into the vagina. However, this is quite typical of very young men, very excited to have access to a female body at all.
However, if we visit a sexologist’s office, we will find out that – regardless of our own expectations about the length of intercourse – premature ejaculation is a condition in which intercourse lasts less than three minutes. If this time exceeds even by a few seconds, it is not considered an anomaly by sexology, but a normal condition.
Where did these problems come from? Apart from his young age, one can blame them for their emotional tension, man’s insecurity, his fear of failing to test in bed, and sometimes… infections in the genitourinary tract. These include: prostatitis, inflammation of the foreskin, phimosis, a short frenulum that can cause discomfort (the man then subconsciously ends intercourse quickly because it is painful for him). There are also neurological disorders, but they are rare, most problems are of an emotional, anatomical or health background.
Ways of premature ejaculation
There are several ways to do this. The first is to reduce sexual tension before intercourse – or masturbation for short. If it comes to the first ejaculation this way, the second “try” will take longer. It is best if the first ejaculation is the “joint work” of the lovers. Then he brings the partners closer to each other, and the woman can even help the man reach the first climax (you can agree that he will reciprocate her beautifully later).
The second way is to apply special condomsfilled with a special anesthetic. It reduces the penis sensitivity to stimuli, and thus slows down the build-up of excitement under the influence of frictional movements.
Another method is a strong grip on the base of the penis when a man feels that the ejaculation is approaching (another school says that it is on his head) and quite firmly pressing it. This is to impair circulation. The excitement decreases, you may even experience a partial loss of erection – but this is nothing to worry about, two moves and the erection comes back. In this way, you can press the penis many times during intercourse, prolonging it.
One method – though not everyone agrees – is by administering antidepressants. They make patients less willing to have sex. In the case of too much emotional arousal, they inhibit the conduction of nerve stimuli, including those related to ejaculation – and, as a result, delay ejaculation.
But these are all half measures. The most reasonable solution is to visit a sexologist who will teach a man how to properly “handle” his penis during intercourse. He will tell you how to stop ejaculation when it is already approaching. The man may then practice slowing down during intercourse or while masturbating.
Priapism – penile dysfunction
Priapism is another penile dysfunction, fortunately it is extremely rare. The disorder is where the penis fills with blood to get an erection – but after ejaculation, the blood doesn’t drain from the cavernous bodies of the penis – as it should. It stays in the cavernous bodies of the penis, causing a long-lasting, prolonged, painful erection. This is a health-hazardous condition! In this case, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible, where the doctors will unblock the blood outflow and make the erection pass.
