Men’s health often focuses on the topic of “enhancing masculinity”, with a wide variety of enhancement products flooding the market, seemingly suggesting that the enhancement of male strength relies on external substances. However, medications are not a panacea, and their potential side effects cannot be ignored; not all men need to resort to them to demonstrate their masculinity.
In reality, when facing difficulties in their sex lives, many men first think of turning to medications, neglecting other key factors in their lives that affect sexual harmony, particularly the importance of self-confidence. Clinical observations have found that some men have normal physical functions but struggle to enjoy their sex lives, with the root of the problem lying in their uncertainty about their sexual abilities and lack of confidence.
During their first sexual experiences, due to nervousness and lack of experience, men may encounter issues such as erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation. If they do not correctly understand these situations, they may begin to doubt their sexual abilities, resulting in a cycle of anticipatory anxiety and performance anxiety, worrying that each time they will not perform satisfactorily. This mindset only exacerbates the problem of erectile dysfunction. In the past, the medical community generally believed that most erectile dysfunction stems from psychological factors, although modern medicine has gained a deeper understanding of the causes of ED, the impact of psychological factors remains significant.
The modern male sexual function assessment system emphasizes the importance of an individual’s confidence in their own erectile abilities, highlighting the importance of positive cognition and self-confidence in improving sexual function. Therefore, for men, establishing a correct self-perception and enhancing self-confidence may be the key to revitalizing their masculinity.
