When understanding how to eliminate erectile dysfunction, increase or normalize potency, it is not always clear what potency means and what is considered normal.Perceiving the concept as the ability to conceive and satisfy a woman, men are right.But sexual power includes other aspects that should be discussed in more detail.
What is potency?
The meaning of the word is defined as “the ability to perform, produce, create”.It turns out that potency is the reproduction and fulfillment of male sexual duties.Sexologists define potency in men as the ability to perform reproductive functions.A rather narrow and applied understanding, characteristic:
- the ability to ejaculate with high-quality sperm;
- stability of erectile function;
- speed of manifestation of excitement;
- duration of sexual intercourse;
- the ability to obtain satisfaction and please your partner.
In the broadest sense of the term, potency refers to the ability to be sexually active and become a father.Identifying the concept with the number and frequency of contacts is not entirely correct, just like libido: the concepts are not synonymous, but only components of the general sexual behavior of a man.
The components of sexuality: libido, erection, fertility, depend on a series of factors.In particular, the level of testosterone concentration in the blood.The male hormone determines desire, the possibility of conceiving a child and erectile function.The peak of testosterone synthesis occurs at the age of 25-30, but psychologists believe that not all men can boast of high potency during this period of time.Increased desire and ability to frequent contacts - yes, if the body is normally healthy, but the ability to satisfy a partner and prolonging acts are not always companions of young people.
In addition, erectile function can be affected by negative external factors: stress, moral, mental stress.Very often, it is after 30 years that a man achieves a certain financial, emotional and psychological stability, thanks to which potency also returns to normal.
Power norm indicators
Having understood the power, what it is, it is necessary to determine the norms of the indicator.However, this is difficult because every man has his own characteristics.Some people can maintain an erection for 20-25 minutes, while for others 5 minutes is too long.
Important!The concept of normal potency in men means that the patient is able to maintain the sexual organ in an erect state during sexual intercourse, which does not always end with ejaculation.
The absence of erection in certain circumstances, regardless of the will of the man, should not be considered a deviation from the norm.This could be the influence of external and internal factors that have nothing to do with the ability of sexual behavior.It is impossible to precisely determine quantitative indicators, but there are generally accepted gradations:
- The 20-30 year old man must have at least 4 sexual intercourse in 7 days;
- 30-35 years – at least 3 acts in 7 days;
- 60 years – at least 3 acts in 10-12 days.
These are average indicators compiled taking into account the regular relationships of a normally healthy man.It should be noted that in 69-72% of cases the potency remains after 60 years.Today, sexologists note that among older patients there are many more men, whose potential is higher than that of boys aged 17-23.But pathologies with an almost complete absence of libido are more common among young people under 25 years old.
Important!It is fundamentally wrong to connect the size of the sexual organ and potency;sexual activity does not change depending on size.The only exceptions are those males for whom size is the determining factor and, due to “insufficient length”, the man himself refuses a normal sexual life.But if sexual intercourse lasts less than 2 minutes, it is worth paying attention, especially when this is the norm for a man, and not random premature ejaculation.
Impact on the potency of chronic diseases
Some chronic pathologies can manifest themselves as decreased erection and decreased libido, the main components of male sexuality.Particularly dangerous chronic diseases include dysfunction of the endocrine system and diseases of the pelvic organs.
Three groups of diseases affect potency:
- Pathologies of the genitourinary system.These include prostatitis, urethritis, inflammatory and/or infectious kidney lesions, and sexually transmitted diseases.The urinary and reproductive systems are closely connected, so any disease causes chronic urinary retention, which provokes the development of cystitis, nephritis and stone formation.All factors disrupt the synthesis of testosterone, which manifests itself in a decrease in male strength.Pathogens such as chlamydia, ureaplasma and gonococci disrupt the microflora and affect the prostate and appendages.Lack of treatment can lead to infertility.
- Diseases of the cardiovascular systemlead to irreversible changes in large vessels and capillaries.Insufficient blood supply causes the destruction of the vascular network of the genital organ, which also ends in the absence of erection and decrease in potency.
- Psychoneurological diseases and disorders,This also includes all kinds of addiction to bad habits.Psychogenic impotence is one of the most terrible and difficult to treat.A man loses sexual desire, there is no desire, the emotional background is disturbed.Antidepressant therapy has a side effect: decreased potency.As for alcohol and drug addiction, in 100% of cases the disease ends with a decrease in libido and complete impotence.
Regardless of the severity, periods of exacerbation, chronic pathologies always affect male sexual potency.Complete loss of abilities and fertility can be avoided only with early diagnosis of the disease, timely initiation of therapy and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle.
