How to Tell Your Partner You Have Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction (ED), also known impotence, is a common male sexual problem, affecting about 40 percent of men over age 40 and 70 percent of men over age 70. Having ED is stressful, and some men struggle with opening up to their partner about their condition. Here are some things to consider to help make the conversation easier for both you and your partner. Educate yourself.  There are many misconceptions about impotence. You need to educate both you and your partner on the causes of ED to clear up these myths. Some common  myths  about ED include:  ·          ED is just part of aging . This is not true.

Why Exercise Can Give Your Sex Life a Boost

Image
Making time for regular exercise is hard work. Whilst some people get a huge kick out of sweating their ass off in the gym, people with busy lifestyles already would rather slump in front of the TV with a cold beer than run for 20-minutes on the treadmill. There is also the fact that exercising can lead to injuries, which are rarely pleasant, as anyone currently suffering from plantar fasciitis pain knows to their cost. But, if your sex life is a bit below par lately, exercising might just give you the boost you need to get frisky between the sheets. Here’s why! Runner’s High It may sound counterintuitive, but exercise does make us feel good. Runner’s high is that moment of elation at the end of a workout when you are on top of the world and you feel an uncontrollable urge to do lots of fist pumps in the air. This is no accident. Exerting your body during a workout causes the brain to release endorphins. It’s nature’s way of ensuring we continue to exercise and stay f

How to Increase Your Sperm Count

Avoid overheating your testicles.  There's a reason testicles are outside of a man’s body: they need to stay a bit cooler than the rest of his internal organs. When testicles get too warm, they aren't able to produce as much sperm .  There are a number of ways to make sure your testicles don't get overheated: ·          Don't wear tight pants and jeans. ·          Wear loose, cotton boxer shorts instead of briefs. ·          Sleep without underwear so that your testicles stay cooler. ·          Avoid hot baths and saunas. Wear a jockstrap when you play sports.  It goes without saying, because most men know this from experience, but a blow to the balls will hurt you  and  kill your sperm. Massage your body with herbal oils.  This, along with regular exercise, improves overall blood flow and circulation. Increased circulation means healthier sperm. Reduce stress levels.  Stress can decrease your sexual function, leading to reduced sperm producti

Erectile dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction  ( ED ), also known as  impotence , is a type of sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis during sexual activity. Erectile dysfunction can have psychological consequences as it can be tied to relationship difficulties and self-image. The most important organic causes of impotence are cardiovascular disease and diabetes, neurological problems (for example, trauma from prostatectomy surgery), hormonal insufficiencies (hypogonadism) and drug side effects. Psychological impotence is where erection or penetration fails due to thoughts or feelings (psychological reasons) rather than physical impossibility; this is somewhat less frequent but can often be helped. In psychological impotence, there is a strong response to placebo treatment. Besides treating the underlying causes such as potassium deficiency or arsenic contamination of drinking water, the first line treatment of erectile dysfunction consists of

How to Increase Libido

If you want to increase your libido for a romantic evening, set the mood by eating foods like strawberries, chocolates, and oysters, which are said to raise the sex drive. If you’re old enough to drink, a moderate amount of wine or other alcoholic beverage may help you relax, but use caution, since too much alcohol can affect your performance in the bedroom. If you need a little more help, ask your partner to help you play out one of your fantasies. Keep reading to learn how managing stress can help boost your libido!

For men, sex

How to Control Premature Ejaculation

Image
Premature ejaculation occurs when a man orgasms during sex sooner than he or his partner would like. Criteria for diagnosing this condition include that the man nearly always ejaculates within one minute of penetration or is almost never able to delay ejaculation. For most men the average time until ejaculation is about five minutes. Premature ejaculation affects many men and can lead to them feeling frustrated and embarrassed. Some men even try to avoid sexual intimacy because of it. Try the pause-squeeze method. If you and your partner are willing, you might try the pause-squeeze method for learning to delay ejaculation. • Stimulate the penis without entering your partner. Notice when you are about to ejaculate. • Ask your partner to squeeze your penis at the place where the head meets the shaft. Your partner should squeeze for several seconds until the need to ejaculate lessens. • After 30 seconds, resume foreplay and repeat

Pay attention to your body, your breath, and any sounds that you hear. ·          Try to ignore intrusive thoughts and simply focus on the present moment. If a thought pops into your head, acknowledge the thought and then let it pass. For example, if you think of something that happened at work, then you might think to yourself, “yes, that happened,” and then picture the thought drifting away. Focus on your space and breathing.      As you meditate, focus on your space and breathing. Take deep, soothing breaths and pay attention to air entering and leaving your body.

How to Navigate Sexual Issues While Single

Image
If you want to share a relationship that will stand the test of time, it is important to get to know your own sexual preferences so you can find someone who shares them with you. It is possible to discover many of your sexual preferences on your own by simply reflecting on who you find most attractive, and what scenarios most appeal to you from books, movies, and fantasies. Other preferences may only take shape in the context of a relationship either because you are introduced to something new, or because you learn to like something you never experienced before. Think about how much you really want to have sex with other people. If you sometimes feel different than other people because you feel content being single and celibate, ask yourself the following: • Do you find that you lack any desire for or attraction to members of either gender? You may think some people are good looking, but do not feel "turned on" by looking at them the w

How to Balance Hormones

Hormonal imbalance has been linked to numerous health conditions, from infertility and depression to loss of focus and loss muscle strength. Reproductive hormonal imbalance and systemic hormonal imbalance can both be sources of major concern. Here are a few ways, both natural and medical, to treat and balance your hormones.

Balancing Female Hormones Understand how your hormones function.  Each hormone is responsible for the completion of certain tasks in the female body.

In women, it accelerates metabolism, increases fat stores, reduces muscle mass, helps form secondary sex characteristics, increases the sex drive, and promotes the increased growth and formation of th

Male Infertility Cause of Hormonal Problems

Image
A small percentage of male infertility is caused by hormonal problems.  The hypothalamus-pituitary endocrine system regulates the chain of hormonal events that enables testes to produce and effectively disseminate sperm.  Several things can go wrong with the hypothalamus-pituitary endocrine system: • The brain can fail to release gonadotrophic-releasing hormone (GnRH) properly.  GnRH stimulates   the hormonal pathway that causes testosterone synthesis and sperm production.  A disruption in   GnRH release leads to a lack of testosterone and a cessation in sperm production. • The pituitary can fail to produce enough lutenizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone   (FSH) to stimulate the testes and testosterone/sperm production.  LH and FSH are intermediates   in the hormonal pathway responsible for testosterone and sperm production. • The testes’ Leydig cells may not produce testosterone in response to LH stimulation. • A male may produce other hormones and chemical c
