The concept of "libido" has more psychological roots, so it should not be confused with the potency that stands for physiological erectile possibilities. Simply put, potency is I can, whereas libido is what I want. Libido means sexual attraction, desire, lust. Erroneous is he who believes that libido for a man is a self-evident process, and only a sexy beauty comes to his eyes, as the libido makes itself felt. Such a reaction occurs only in 30% of the stronger sex, a little more than half of men reaction to such a girl will be weak, and almost 20% do not react to it at all. Increased libido depends on the production of testosterone, as well as genetic heredity.
Why the male libido is reduced
A significant reduction in the libido or its complete absence for today is considered one of the leading problems of modern men. The bottom line is that male satisfaction in sexual terms is the key to his physical health. Perhaps, that is why a strong sex reacts so acutely to the slightest problems in sexual life. Low libido can bother not necessarily representatives of adulthood, but also relatively young guys. This can be a lot of reasons.
Neuropsychiatric causes
Daily stressful situations, family scandals, work-related troubles, lack of sleep or chronic fatigue, a state of depression - all contribute to the suppression of male libido. Although men often perceive such emotional shakes as a vital standard, such conditions are often very dangerous for men's sexual health.
Important! The scandals in the family can significantly reduce the libido. Family squabbles cause overstrain of the brain area responsible for sexual attraction, convincing the brain that the man has already received the necessary sexual satisfaction. As a result, libido decreases.
Such a psychological effect often leads to a sharp drop in libido, being a surprise for a man. Libido can decline on the background of sexual disorders, against which the man suffers sexual failures, because of what he has lost confidence in his sexual viability.
Hormonal insufficiency
Both potency and libido are closely related to the level of testosterone production. The higher the content of the hormone, the more pronounced is his sexual and sexual desire. Approximately from the age of 30, the development of testosterone in the body begins to decrease and the male develops an androgen deficiency toward old age.
Chronic diseases
Also not a rare reason for lowering sexual desire. These can be cardiovascular pathologies, disorders of brain functions, endocrine disorders. The danger comes from the already existing pathologies of a chronic nature, as well as from diseases suffered in childhood.
Harmful habits of
Everyone knows the harmful effects on the body of drugs and alcohol products, tobacco. Not an exception - and the sexual desire of a man, which can be suppressed by these habits. Particular danger such harmful to the body of hobbies are people who have chronic diseases.
Injuries to
If a man has experienced a trauma to the genitals that led to a disruption in the function of the testicles( which produce testosterone, responsible for sexual attraction), then this can adversely affect the libido.
Medications
Often, uncontrolled use of medications such as anabolic steroids, hormones or antidepressants can cause a side effect in the form of suppression of sexual desire. Therefore, experts do not recommend taking such drugs without medical appointment, because the consequences can be irreversible, and again to cause an increase in libido in most cases is almost impossible.
Uneven sexual activity
If a man is too active and violent sex life, or if she is practically absent, in conjunction with periods of prolonged abstinence, then such men may have some extinction of libido.
Most men are mistakenly blamed for the decline in sexual desire for advanced age. But many studies prove the incorrectness of such a theory. Even in old age a man can feel the desire, just by the 50th anniversary, almost every representative of the strong half gets almost a bouquet of chronic sores, which provokes a decrease in libido.
In half the cases, the return of the libido to the former intensity is entirely possible, only for this may need the help of an andrologist, as well as a sex therapist. If there is any deviation or a decrease in the inclination, it is recommended to contact specialists, then the sexual relationship can still be adjusted.
How to increase male libido without tablets
First you should completely change the diet so that the body receives the necessary trace elements contained in fruit and vegetable dishes. In addition, men need to include in the daily menu products that cause sexual arousal, the so-called aphrodisiacs. An important factor is the level of testosterone, which can be increased by natural methods. The building material for testosterone molecules is zinc, so for the normal level of the male hormone it is necessary to consume enough zinc, which is contained in nuts, seafood and meat.
Warning! Doctors strongly recommend that men who often drink beer, abandon their addiction, because the beer contains an analog of female sex hormones - phytoestrogen, which dulls the libido and reduces erectile function.
A number of studies have shown that there are many medicinal plants that promote libido. Attention among such plants deserve parsley, mint, ginger root, ginseng, celery and so on. Particularly worth mentioning is ginseng, which is generally called the root of life. It is very useful to enrich the diet with such vitamins as E and C, contained in bran bread, olive oil, tomatoes, citrus, baked potatoes. Proper nutrition stimulates the secretion of testosterone and stimulates the activity of the organs of the reproductive system.
No less important for the male body has a nightly 8-hour sleep, and sleep is necessary in absolute darkness and silence, then the production of hormones will be carried out without interruptions and irregularities. In addition, a tired man does not want anything more than to rest, then there is no sexual desire.
Researchers have found that walking barefoot contributes to increased sexual desire. In the area of the foot are specific points, influencing which you can achieve increased libido. Only walk barefoot need not on a soft carpet, but on a large sandy beach, only then will there be an effect.
Drug-induced ways to increase the desire of
Many men, as soon as they experience a decrease in libido, begin to take funds that solve these problems. Heavy artillery in solving this issue is hormone replacement therapy, although it can not be said that this method is safe. Men take steroid drugs in the form of pills, inject injections or paste steroid patches to make up for the missing testosterone. Practice shows that these funds allow you to return sexual desire as at the age of 18.But steroids have a lot of contraindications, and very serious, that is why it is absolutely impossible to engage in independent steroid therapy.
Vegetable preparations, so-called aphrodisiacs, are safer. These products contain microelements and vitamins that promote the normalization of material metabolism, increase the sensitivity of the genital organs and increase the flow of blood to them. In the composition of some plant aphrodisiacs there are substances that promote the production of male hormones.
Warning! Aphrodisiacs of natural origin contribute to exacerbation of sexual desire, improves erectile function.
There are also chemical preparations like Viagra or Cialis. They contribute to a short-term stimulation of blood circulation in the genital organs of men, but in the absence of sexual arousal, i.e. in the absence of libido, these drugs will not give the expected effect. Therefore, problems with lost attraction, these funds, which are stimulants of erection, do not solve.
