There are a lot of factors to consider when talking about Sexual health. It has been defined as the state of sexuality related to physical, emotional, mental and social well-being. It is vital to have a positive and respectful approach towards sexuality and sexual relationships to be considered sexual healthy.
Your feelings have a great impact on your sexual appetite. For example, if you are feeling anxious, bitter or angry towards your spouse or partner you will not feel like having a sex with them. How could you feel sexy when you are in emotional pain?
Sexual health is of immense concern nowadays, which is true for both women and men, but for some reason there is so much more talk about it in regards to women. You could be the most affectionate man in the world but if you are unable to satisfy your spouse in bed it can lead to relationship issues.
Sex is very important for a relationship to go smooth, your inability to last in bed can turn your relationship bitter. Anxiety builds up in your mind making sex more and more difficult, until you just dread the thought of it when you should be looking forward to enjoying one of nature’s most natural and enjoyable instinct.
There are various psychological factors to be considered while discussing male sexual health. If a man fails to achieve his goals in life can cause him to enter into a state of depression. Developing an avoidance to having sex becomes natural in such a situation.
Other topics relating to sexual health for men are as follows:
- Desire
- Pleasure
- Orgasm
- Rapid or delayed ejaculation
- Prostate health
- Masturbation
As men age there is a natural decrease in the production of testosterone, which can cause them to lose their desire in sex. Low sexual desire can also be the result of some chronic disease, hormonal imbalances, stress, fatigue or a poor body image.
Most of the men today suffer from erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is a sexual dysfunction that can prevent a man from being able to have an erect penis. Health problems such as high blood-pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high cholesterol or depression contribute to erectile dysfunction. Anybody can be affected by this illness at any stage of life, but it is more often seen in men above the age of 40 years.
Early ejaculation in single men can make it difficult to hang onto a long term partner, which will then cause them to develop more sexual health issues.
Men are typically hesitate to talk about their sexual health issues as it causes their ego to get hurt. They take it as a curse and just live with it, even though most of these things can be fixed or reversed. Living under such constant stress can lead to depression. If your husband/partner is having these types of issues, try talking with him. Make him feel comfortable to be able to share his feelings with you. If necessary consult a doctor.
