Of all the functions that man has, the ability to reproduce is perhaps the most important.The quality of sex depends on many factors.But the reproduction of sexual relations is only possible if there is power.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 "power" is the capacity, the presence of sufficient force to reproduce certain actions.If we talk about male potency, the phrase "certain actions" in the interpretation can be replaced by the phrase "sexual relations."That is, "potency" in this context is a man's ability to perform acts of a sexual nature.In sexology there is no concept of female potency, so we can only talk about representatives of the stronger sex.
Negative factors affecting power.
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 taking strong medications.Here is a complete list of negative factors:
- poor diet, excess weight;
- the presence of chronic diseases;
- taking powerful drugs, narcotic substances;
- long-term sexual abstinence;
- irregular sleep, poor lifestyle;
- regular hard 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 mature men.
Important!Prolonged abstinence can lead to the loss of male strength in 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 loss 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 in school, since in polite society they prefer not to talk about such things.But for a man this is a very important question.
Having morning or night erections is normal.If a man does not detect it, 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 cannot achieve an erection during sexual activity for a long time, this may indicate serious problems.
What is an erection?
If we talk about an erection, it is 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 by stimulating the genitals, whereby an impulse is sent to the spinal cord, which in turn triggers the erection mechanism.
- Psychogenic erection.It is achieved through the recreation of mental images, as well as exposure to external stimuli.It could be certain smells, images, music, taste sensations, quiet, muffled words, etc.
- Spontaneous erection (morning or night).It is a characteristic 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 that is closely related to power.We are talking about libido, which means sexual attraction, normally of an unconscious nature..While potency is directly the ability to have sexual relations, libido is desire itself, the sexual instinct.And although these concepts mean different things, they directly depend on each other.A decrease in libido levels causes 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 for power level.It is impossible to determine the average duration of sexual intercourse and the rate 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 intercourse).
This is due to the fact that each man has individual body characteristics and each has his 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.In addition, it is important to periodically visit a urologist to maintain your virility and prevent possible complications.
impotence
Impotence or erectile dysfunction is a total lack of potency, in which the size, tension and straightness of the penis are not sufficient for sexual intercourse.This is the inability to bring the penis to 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!The impotence is permanent.
This problem can have a detrimental effect on the emotional and psychological state of a man.After all, male strength is a fundamental factor for the normal life of a representative of the stronger sex.
Conclusion
It is worth doing as much as 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 overexert yourself with exhausting physical work and not abuse powerful drugs and narcotic substances.But if you find that, despite all your efforts, signs of impotence appear, under no circumstances should you self-medicate!Only a urologist can solve this problem!
