When figuring out how to eliminate erectile dysfunction, increase or normalize potency, it is not always clear what potency means and what is considered normal.Men are correct in understanding conception as the ability to conceive and satisfy a woman.However, sexual power includes other aspects that need to 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 reproduction and the fulfillment of male sexual obligations.Sexologists define male potency as the ability to perform reproductive functions.Rather narrow and applied interpretation, characterized by:
- the ability to ejaculate with high sperm quality;
- stability of erectile function;
- speed of manifestation of excitement;
- duration of sexual intercourse;
- the ability to satisfy and please your partner.
In the broadest sense of the word, potency refers to sexual activity and the ability to become a father.The identification of the concept with the number and frequency of relationships is not entirely correct, just like libido - the concepts are not synonymous, but only components of a man's general sexual behavior.
The components of sexuality: libido, erection, fertility depend on many factors.In particular, the level of testosterone concentration in the blood.The male hormone determines desire, the possibility of conceiving a baby and erectile function.The peak of testosterone synthesis occurs at the age of 25-30, but psychologists believe that not all men can boast high efficiency during this period.Increased desire and ability to have frequent intercourse - yes, if the body is normally healthy, but the ability to satisfy the partner and the prolongation of actions are not always companions of young men.
In addition, erectile function can be affected by negative external factors: stress, moral, mental stress.Most often, after 30 years, a man achieves a certain financial, emotional and psychological stability, thanks to which the potency also returns to a normal level.
Potency norm indicators
Having understood the potency, what it is, it is necessary to determine the standards of the indicator.However, this is difficult because each person has their own characteristics.Some people can maintain an erection for 20-25 minutes, while for others, 5 minutes is too much.
Important!For men, the concept of normal potency means that the patient can maintain an erection during sexual intercourse, which does not always end with ejaculation.
The absence of an erection in certain circumstances, regardless of the man's wishes, cannot be considered a deviation from the norm.This can be the influence of external and internal factors, which have nothing to do with the ability of sexual behavior.Quantitative indicators cannot be precisely defined, but there are generally accepted grades:
- A 20-30-year-old man must have at least 4 sexual intercourses within 7 days;
- 30-35 years old - at least 3 acts within 7 days;
- 60 years - at least 3 acts in 10-12 days.
These are average indicators, which are 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 even after 60 years.Today, sexologists note that among older patients there are many more men whose potential is higher than that of 17-23-year-old boys.But pathologies with an almost complete lack of libido are more common among young men under the age of 25.
Important!It is fundamentally wrong to link penis size and potency;sexual activity does not vary with size.The only exceptions are men for whom size is decisive, and because of "insufficient length" the man himself rejects a normal sex life.But if sexual intercourse is less than 2 minutes, then it is worth paying attention to this, especially if this is the norm for a man and not random premature ejaculation.
Effect on the potency of chronic diseases
Some of the chronic pathologies can manifest as reduced erection and decreased libido - this is the main component 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 urogenital system.These include prostatitis, urethritis, inflammatory and/or infectious kidney changes, and STDs.The urinary system and the reproductive system are closely related, so any disease causes chronic urinary retention, which provokes the development of cystitis, nephritis and the formation of stones.All factors interfere with testosterone synthesis, 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 systemleads to irreversible changes in large vessels and capillaries.Impaired blood supply causes destruction in the vascular network of the genital organ, which also results in a lack of erection and a decrease in potency.
- Psychoneurological diseases and disorders,This includes all types of addiction to bad habits.Psychogenic impotence is one of the most terrible and difficult diseases to treat.A man loses sexual desire, there is no desire, the emotional background is disturbed.Antidepressant therapy has a side effect - reduced potency.As for alcohol and drug addiction, the disease ends in 100% of cases with reduced libido and complete impotence.
Regardless of severity, periods of exacerbation, or chronic pathologies, they always affect a man's sexual power.The complete loss of abilities and fertility can only be avoided by early detection of the disease, timely initiation of therapy and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle.
