Sexual health has been defined as the state of sexuality related to physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being. A positive and respectful approach towards sexuality and sexual relationships is vital for attaining sound sexual health.
Your feelings have a great impact on your sexual appetite. For example, if you are feeling anxious, bitter, or angry towards your partner you will not feel like having sex with them.
Men’s sexual health is of immense concern nowadays. You could be the most affectionate man in the world but if you are unable to satisfy your spouse in the bed it can lead to relationship issues.
Sex is very important for a relationship to go smoothly. Your inability to last long enough in bed can turn your relationship bitter. Anxiety builds up in your mind making sex one of the most traumatic things in your life.
Various psychological factors are also considered while discussing men’s sexual health. Men’s failure to achieve their goals in life can put them into a state of depression. Avoidance of sex becomes natural in such a situation.
Other topics relating to men’s sexual health are as follows-:
• Desire
• Pleasure
• Orgasm
• Rapid or delayed ejaculation
• Prostate health
• Masturbation
A decrease in the production of testosterone in men causes them to lose their desire for sex. Low sexual desire can also be the result of some chronic disease, hormonal imbalances, stress, fatigue, or a poor body image. Always discuss it with your doctor, and look for patterns.
Many men suffer from erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is a sexual dysfunction that immobilizes a man to develop an erection of the penis. Health problems such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, or depression contribute to erectile dysfunction. As such, many medications used to treat common medical conditions can also cause it. Anybody can be affected by this illness at any stage of life, but more often it is seen in men above the age of 40 years.
Early ejaculation in single men deters them from seeking an ideal partner.
Men usually hesitate to talk about their sexual health as it might hurt their ego. They take it as a curse and just live with it. Living under such stress can lead to depression. If your partner feels the same, try talking to them. Everyone feels better when they can share their feelings. If necessary consult a doctor.
Men’s sexual health needs considerate assistance. Do not hesitate to talk about your sexual problems with your partner and your doctor.
