Potency in Men: Norms and Effects of Disease

When thinking about how to eliminate erectile dysfunction, increase or normalize potency, it is not always clear what potency means and what is considered normal.Considering the concept as the ability to conceive and satisfy a woman, men are right.But sexual power includes several other aspects that need to be discussed in more detail.

What is Potential?

The meaning of the word is defined as "the ability to perform, produce, create."It turns out that potential is reproduction and the fulfillment of male sexual duties.Sexologists define potency in men as the ability to perform reproductive functions.A rather narrow and applied understanding, features:

• the ability to ejaculate with high sperm quality;
• erectile function stability;
• speed of manifestation of joy;
• Duration of intercourse;
• the ability to find satisfaction and please your partner.

In a broad sense, 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 concept is not synonymous, but only a component of general human sexual behavior.

Components of sexuality: libido, erection, fertility, depending on several factors.In particular, the level of testosterone concentration in the blood.Male hormones determine desire, the possibility of conceiving a baby and erectile function.The peak of testosterone synthesis occurs at the age of 25-30 years, but psychologists believe that not everyone can boast of high potential during this period of time.Increased desire and ability for frequent intercourse - yes, if the body is usually healthy, but the ability to satisfy a partner and the prolongation of acts are not always friends of young men.

In addition, erectile function can be affected by negative external factors: stress, morale, mental stress.Often, after 30 years, a man achieves stability financially, emotionally and psychologically, because the potency also returns to normal.

Potential norm indicator

Having understood the potential, what it is, it is necessary to determine the indicator norm.However, this is difficult because each man has his own characteristics.Some people can maintain an erection for 20-25 minutes, while for others 5 minutes is too much.

Important!The concept of normal potency in men means that the patient can maintain the sexual organ in an erect state throughout sexual intercourse, which does not always end with ejaculation.

The absence of an erection in certain circumstances, regardless of human will, should not be considered a deviation from the norm.This may be the influence of external, internal factors that have nothing to do with the ability of sexual behavior.It is impossible to determine quantitative indicators with accuracy, but there is a generally accepted gradation:

• Men aged 20-30 must have at least 4 sexual interactions in 7 days;
• 30-35 years-at least 3 actions in 7 days;
• 60 years-at least 3 actions in 10-12 days.

This is an average indicator collected taking into account the normal relationship of a normally healthy man.It should be noted that in 69-72% of cases, the potential remains after 60 years.Today, sexologists note that among older patients there are more men, whose potential is higher than men aged 17-23 years.But pathology with an almost complete absence of libido is more common among young men under the age of 25.

Important!It is fundamentally wrong to link the size of sexual organs and potency;Sexual activity does not change depending on size.The only exception is the man whose size is the determining factor and, because of "insufficient length," the man himself rejects a normal sex life.But if sexual intercourse lasts less than 2 minutes, this should be noted, especially when this is the norm for a man, and not a random early ejaculation.

Impact on potential chronic disease

Some chronic pathologies can manifest themselves as a decrease in erection and decreased libido - the main component of male sexuality.Very dangerous chronic diseases include dysfunction of the endocrine system and diseases of the pelvic organs.

Three groups of diseases affect potency:

1. Pathology of the genitourinary system.These include prostatitis, urethritis, renal and/or infectious lesions, and STDs.The urinary and reproductive systems are closely related, so any disease causes chronic urinary retention, which leads to the development of cystitis, nephritis, and stone formation.All factors interfere with 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 cause infertility.
2. Diseases of the cardiovascular systemlead to irreversible changes in large vessels and capillaries.Impaired blood supply causes destruction in the vascular network of the genital organs, which also ends in the absence of erection and decreased potency.
3. Psychoneurological diseases and disorders,This also includes all types of addiction to bad habits.Psychogenic impotence is one of the most devastating and difficult to treat.A man loses sexual desire, there is no desire, the emotional background is disturbed.Antidepressant therapy has a side effect - reducing potency.As for alcohol and drug addiction, in 100% of cases the disease ends with decreased libido and complete impotence.

Regardless of severity, duration of severity, chronic pathology always affects male sexual power.Complete loss of ability and fertility can be avoided only by early detection of the disease, timely initiation of therapy and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
