The strength of male sexual function is closely related to a person's age and physical health, and will change with the decline of physiological functions of various organs in the human body. According to a survey, men aged 20-64 are currently "relegated to the second tier" in terms of sexual ability at an average age of 43.9, and have been "laid off" since the age of 47.7. So, how should men maintain normal sexual ability?
1. Relax
Penile erection is the process of congestion in the penis, which requires a large amount of blood to enter the penis. Only when the blood vessels are relaxed and have good elasticity can the penis achieve normal congestion and erection. Excessive stress is the biggest fatal injury to middle-aged men's sexual well-being. Prolonged exposure to stress can cause mental tension, increase adrenaline secretion in the body, and cause vasoconstriction. Over time, not only can it lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease, but it can also have a negative impact on the male penis, causing vasoconstriction, insufficient congestion, weak erection, and natural collapse of the penis. Therefore, in daily life, it is important to maintain an open-minded mood, maintain emotional stability, and be mentally happy. It is important to promptly relieve stress and avoid mental stress causing a decrease in sexual ability.
2. Exercise
As middle-aged people age, their secretion of sex hormones decreases year by year, and their sexual ability also gradually decreases. Research has confirmed that exercise can promote the secretion of hormones (male hormones). 80% of men who exercise regularly say that since exercising 2-3 times a week, their confidence in sexual activity has greatly increased and their sexual behavior has become more positive. Exercise can enhance the muscle elasticity of the abdomen and buttocks, making it easier for a woman to reach orgasm during sex than before. Due to muscle exercise, the ability to control ejaculation is greatly enhanced, and sexual activity can also be prolonged. So, in order to enjoy the beauty of sex, it is important to engage in aerobic exercise, exercise physical strength, and cardiovascular function.
3. Emphasize self adjustment
Transient sexual dysfunction should not be blindly regarded as permanent. In fact, it is entirely possible to experience temporary sexual dysfunction in situations such as fatigue, tension, anxiety, and poor living environment. Therefore, it is important to have a correct understanding of occasional sexual dysfunction and not easily believe that one is impotent, causing unnecessary psychological burden to oneself. As long as couples communicate more, after a period of self adjustment, most people can recover. If you still feel ineffective, you can consult a professional doctor and undergo necessary examinations. It is best for the couple to go to the hospital together. Generally speaking, the vast majority of middle-aged men seeking treatment for sexual dysfunction do not have obvious organic diseases. The decline in sexual function is more reasonable and does not belong to the category of erectile dysfunction. As long as necessary adjustments are made, the shadow of the disease can be completely overcome.
4. Weight loss and prevention of "three highs"
Obesity can cause many health problems. Obese people are more likely to suffer from hypertension, high cholesterol, high blood sugar and other diseases than normal people. Hypertension and high cholesterol can cause vascular sclerosis, and diabetes can cause nerve damage. If it affects the blood vessels and nerves of sexual organs, it may lead to erectile dysfunction. The sexual dysfunction caused by the "three highs" is difficult to treat clinically, so prevention is the key. Therefore, appropriate weight loss and prevention of damage to blood vessels and nerves caused by the "three highs" can prevent erectile dysfunction.
5. Quit bad habits and arrange diet reasonably
Staying up late will weaken your immune system; Smoking can damage blood vessels and reduce penile blood flow; Excessive drinking can damage the liver and nerves, which can lead to erectile dysfunction. Therefore, middle-aged men should avoid staying up late, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption to avoid damage to their sexual organs. At the same time, it is necessary to reasonably arrange diet, avoid high fat, high cholesterol, high sugar, high salt diet, and actively prevent hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and other diseases. Zinc is an essential trace element for maintaining sexual function, so middle-aged and elderly people should eat foods rich in zinc, such as oysters, clams, fish and shrimp, beef, yogurt, poultry eggs, soy products, etc., which is beneficial for maintaining sexual function.
6. Pay attention to male hormones
After middle age, the levels of male hormones in the body gradually decrease with age, and physiological functions begin to decline. In addition, with greater mental pressure, some men develop male menopausal syndrome, showing symptoms such as decreased physical fitness, fatigue, weakened memory, lack of concentration, restlessness, depression, hot flashes, sweating, and decreased sexual function. For middle-aged men, if they experience the above symptoms, they should go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner, and pay attention to supplementing testosterone hormones, just like supplementing estrogen and maintaining the ovaries in middle-aged women.
7. Sexual patterns
Just like using the brain frequently, people are not prone to aging. There is also a pattern of "use in and waste out" in men's sexual abilities. Don't forget about men's sexual functions - if you forget, you will become decadent. Maintaining a regular sexual life is a "good recipe" for maintaining physical fitness and avoiding sexual decline. Whether you are middle-aged or elderly, according to your physical age and specific health status, as long as you have the ability, you need to maintain an appropriate frequency of sexual activity. But at this point, sexual activity should not be excessively indulgent, and sexual activity should not be carried out when feeling too full, drunk, or tired. Regular sexual activity not only enhances the enjoyment of life, but also keeps you healthy, prolongs lifespan, and reduces the occurrence of erectile dysfunction.
