More Sex If You Are Sexually Healthy
Men often experience a lapse in virility and vitality, and a decline in well-being. Yet most men will talk about almost anything else other their concerns about their sexual health. Too many men however deny the problem, refuse to talk about it with anyone, blame their partners or themselves, begin withdrawing, and finally find reasons to avoid having sex. The problem that “doesn’t exist” eats away at their self-esteem, their relationship deteriorates, and their lives go downhill.Researchers found that 80-90 percent of all chronic sexual health problems were based on physical imbalance caused by a variety of stressors. Medical conditions including diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension play a role, as well as many of the medications taken to treat these diseases. Cigarette smoking has a significant effect, as does excessive alcohol consumption.
Although men often give the impression of being in control of their lives-that’s the impression men think they are suppose to convey. Nonetheless, men have a lot to gain from taking greater control over their medical conditions which affect their sexual health issues. Many men do not acknowledge their sexual worries and fears to their partners. Not being able to talk about problems work against intimacy. Men are slow to admit to illness and other physical problems, and they are even slow to admit to sexual dysfunctions. And the idea of needing an expert for help in dealing with personal or relationship problems is just out of the question.
It should be clear that erections require that a whole constellation of things be right. Your nervous system and vascular systems have to be capable of responding properly and your emotions have to be capable of aiding, or at least not impeding, the process. Anything-physical or emotional-that gets in the way of sufficient blood getting and staying in the penis can cause problems with erections.
For instance, if you are being treated for high blood pressure, there is a possibility that you will become impotent. High blood pressure is a serious medical problem that has received increasing attention in recent years. However, the drug interactions or combination of drugs used to treat high blood pressure may contribute to impotence. The physician should warn the patient about the side effects of all drugs prescribed, especially those that have been linked to impotence.
According to a study of 2,400 men from researchers at the University of Bristol in England, men who reported three or more orgasms per week enjoyed a 50 percent reduction in heart attacks and strokes compared to those who have sex less often. It seems the principal message of this study is that having sex reduces the incidence of heart attack and strokes and lets you live longer. In fact, just the opposite is true. Being healthy allows you to have sex as much as you want. Remember you’re certainly more sexually fit than people who can’t have sex three times a week.
