Intimacy And Men

Sexual activity varies from person to person. It depends on many external as well as internal factors. For example - the mental health has a straight influence on your sexual health. Plus it is also controlled by the opinion of the society, religious traditions, and even the idea of ​​the "norm" of sexual behavior, which has been developing over the years.

Peaks of Sexual Activity in Men

In youth, most men are hypersexual at the age of 17-23, the first peak of sexual activity. This is due to rapid puberty, excessive production of the male hormone testosterone, self-knowledge and relationships with women. At this time of age, the sexual opportunities are great, the level of excitability is very high. This age requires safe sex as most individuals receives some sorts of STDs at this age. But this has its drawbacks - quantity has to replace the quality and duration of sexual intercourse.

Gradually, a man accumulates sexual experience, and the hormonal background stabilizes, testosterone levels out to an optimal level. This allows you to better control your sexual behavior, reduces the desire for constant sexual intercourse. From the outside it may seem that this is a decline in activity, but in reality it is just a normalization of sexual behavior, when the quality of connections is no less important than the quantity. This period lasts on average from 23 to 30-35 years.

Recessions in Sexual Activity in Men

As men age, testosterone levels decrease, which affects desire. By the age of 40, most men begin a clear decline in sexual activity. This is due not only to the hormonal background, but also to the increased level of responsibility, the number of tasks and responsibilities. Accumulated fatigue and stress have a bad effect on sexual life.

At this age, the level of excitability is already lower, so the external environment and psychological moments influence the sexual mood much more strongly. A mature man may already need an additional incentive to become interested in sex. A man can talk and think about his sex life just as often, but the attraction will inevitably be lower compared to youth.

After 45-50 years, most men have problems with the heart health, blood vessels, and the reproductive system. They affects the stability of the erection and makes it weaker over the time. Approximately half of men over 50 complain the erection problem.

Illnesses often require medication at older age which may interfere with sexual activity.

In addition as you age chronic diseases, excess weight often occurs. Excess fat and a sedentary lifestyle reduce testosterone levels. Stress also adds to the problem, as it releases cortisol, the stress hormone. It inhibits the synthesis of testosterone.

How to Increase Sexual Activity in Men at Home

Avoid being overweight

Obesity affects testosterone levels. Studies show that obese men have half the testosterone levels of lean men.

Aromotase enzyme converts male androgens into female estrogens. Therefore, with obesity, in addition to reduced sexual activity, nervousness and excessive breast growth may appear. At the same time, a decrease in testosterone production leads to even greater accumulation of fat. You can get out of this vicious circle only by losing weight.

Go in For Sports

According to many studies, exercise causes enhancement of blood flow in the penis, improves mood and increases the level of sex hormones. It is important not to have excess sports and make it simple.

The combination of power loads with aerobic loads helps well - running, swimming, cycling, etc.

Get Enough Sleep

Another study has proven a decrease in testosterone levels with constant sleep deprivation. Not to mention the psychological state. For normal recovery of the nervous system, a high-quality, long sleep of at least 7-8 hours is required.

Take Supplements

It is by far very important to include some sex improving supplements in your diet. Ashwagandha is a super herb that has been scientifically proven to stimulate the sex hormone. For men, vitamins A, E and D, as well as zinc and selenium, are especially important to promote your sexual vitality.
