Of all the functions given to a man, the ability to reproduce is perhaps the most important.The quality of sex depends on many factors.But the reproduction of sexual relations is possible only if there is potency.We often hear this word, but sometimes we do not 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 are talking about male power, the expression "certain actions" in the interpretation can be replaced with the expression "sexual intercourse".That is, "potency" in this context is the ability of a man to perform acts of a sexual nature.In sexology, the concept of female power does not exist, so we can only talk about representatives of the stronger sex.
Negative factors affecting power
The human body is a very complex system, the functionality of which depends on many factors.Male strength can decrease 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, overweight;
- the presence of chronic diseases;
- taking powerful drugs, narcotic substances;
- long-term sexual abstinence;
- irregular sleep, poor lifestyle;
- regular heavy physical work;
- genetic predisposition;
- the 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 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 it is present in the body, the level of testosterone decreases and female hormones are produced.And since the weight problem comes from poor nutrition and an unhealthy lifestyle, which are also the reasons for the disappearance of strength, it is very important to review your life priorities and take care of your health.
How to determine the presence of power
There are some basic ways to test potency that parents don't talk about and don't teach in school, because in polite society they prefer not to talk about such things.But for a man this is a very important issue.
Having an erection in the morning or in the evening is normal.If a man does not find out, he should consult a doctor and urgently review his lifestyle to identify the above negative factors.
The concept of male strength includes these important characteristics: stable erection, speed of arousal, duration of sexual intercourse.
To check the level of potency, it is worth assessing the duration of sexual intercourse and the degree of arousal.If you cannot achieve an erection during sexual activity for a long time, this may indicate serious problems.
What is erection
If we are talking about erection, it is worth explaining what it is.Erection is the process of blood filling of the cavernous bodies of the penis, as a result of which the penis increases in volume, becomes elastic and fully ready for sexual intercourse.The lack 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 erection:
- Reflex erection.It is achieved through stimulation of the genitals, due to which an impulse is sent to the spinal cord, which in turn stimulates the mechanism of erection.
- Psychogenic erection.It is achieved by recreating mental images as well as exposure to external stimuli.These can be certain smells, pictures, music, taste sensations, quiet 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 very closely related to power.We are talking about libido, which means sexual attraction, usually of an unconscious nature..While potency is directly the ability to perform sexual intercourse, libido is the desire itself, the sexual instinct.And although these concepts mean different things, they are directly dependent on each other.Decreased libido levels lead to lack of erection, which, as we have discovered, is the main indicator of potency level.
Power level rates
In sexology, there are no norms for the level of potency.It is impossible to determine the average duration of sexual intercourse and the degree of penile 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 person 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.In addition, it is important to visit a urologist regularly to maintain your virility and prevent possible complications.
Impotence
Impotence or erectile dysfunction is a complete lack of power, in which the size, tension and straightness of the penis are not enough to perform sexual intercourse.This is the inability to bring the penis to an erection state by any means.The causes of impotence are the same as those caused by a decrease in the level of male potency.
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 for the normal life of a representative of the stronger sex.
CONCLUSION
It is worth doing everything possible in advance to prevent loss of power.It is necessary to lead a correct lifestyle, to be attentive to the body's alarm signals, not to overdo it with exhausting physical work and not to abuse powerful drugs and narcotic substances.But if you find that, despite your efforts, signs of impotence appear, under no circumstances should you self-medicate!Only a urologist can solve this problem!
