With the acceleration of social development, people’s life pressures are increasing, leading to a gradual decline in men’s sexual performance.
The decline in sexual performance can cause disharmony in sexual life, which seriously affects the couple’s life for a long time. In fact, the decline in male sexual performance is also closely related to daily habits. So, what bad habits in life can cause a decline in male sexual performance? How can male friends improve their sexual performance?
4 habits that lead to a decline in male sexual performance:
1. Soft Sofa:
Medical research has found that sitting on a soft sofa for a long time can cause serious harm to the male scrotum. Because the normal sitting posture relies on the pelvis as a support point, with the scrotum “settling” stably between the legs. However, when you sit on a soft sofa, the support point will sink downward, causing the legs to unconsciously squeeze together, thereby putting pressure on the scrotum, hindering blood flow. This accumulation of toxic substances released by the testicles will have a significant impact on testicular health. In addition, nutrient supply is interrupted, and the secretion of testosterone by the testicles is weakened. Therefore, remember not to sit on a soft sofa for a long time.
2. Exercise Bike:
When men exercise, the exercise bike is a popular choice for many. However, if the time spent pedaling is too long, it can cause abrasion, stones, and even swelling of the scrotum, which may affect sexual function. The bicycle seat is not only hard but also protrudes in front, causing inadvertent contact with the scrotum while pedaling. Prolonged collisions can damage nerves, soften the scrotum, cause swelling of the seminal vesicles and testicles, and, most severely, affect blood circulation, leading to insufficient blood supply to the penis and affecting erectile function.
3. Heavy Metals:
Among heavy metals, lead, mercury, and cadmium have the greatest impact on sexual function. Excessive intake of lead can seep into semen or eggs and accumulate, affecting the secretion of reproductive hormones, leading to a decrease in sperm count, deformities, and reduced fertility. Mercury can lead to a decrease in sexual desire and erectile dysfunction. If severe, it can also cause male infertility. Cadmium can affect hormone secretion and damage the liver and kidneys.
4. Cigarettes:
The reason smoking leads to a decrease in sexual desire is that harmful substances in cigarettes can cause blood vessel hardening, hindering blood circulation, and potentially causing erectile dysfunction. Even if there are no such symptoms, medical research also indicates that smoking affects the penis, causing it to bend rather than stretch straight, affecting overall health. The sexual performance of male friends is essential, not only for physical health but also for family happiness. However, many factors contribute to the decline in male sexual performance, so it is essential to pay attention to health maintenance methods.
Tips to improve male sexual performance:
1. Moderate Self-restraint:
Both men and women may have periods of strong sexual desire after marriage, during which it is crucial to practice moderation and consider each other’s needs. Focusing solely on the frequency of sexual activity can compromise its quality and hinder delaying sexual aging.
2. “Strengthening the Body is Better than Tonic”:
Ensure regular physical exercise and proper nutrition. Jogging and walking are suitable activities for middle-aged individuals. Focus on exercising the lower body, as the key to sexual function lies in the waist and feet areas. Consume foods rich in quality protein, vitamin E, and zinc. If possible, take vitamin E capsules daily. A healthy physique and positive mental outlook contribute to maintaining good sexual function.
3. “Strong Seed Depends on a Strong Heart”:
After entering middle age, don’t attribute minor bodily changes (such as eye fatigue or slower climbing stairs) to sexual function immediately. Believe that your sexual function is normal, robust, and vibrant. Maintain mental resilience and confidence.
4. Do Not Limit Marital Intimacy to Just Sexual Relations:
Engaging in non-intercourse sexual activities (sexual entertainment, games) between couples enhances intimacy and attachment. Strictly viewing sexual relations, especially with high expectations on sexual activity, can lead to unnecessary psychological stress, which hinders delaying sexual aging. Emotional attachment, tenderness, and affection between spouses are essential psychologically and physiologically.
5. Abandon Bad Habits:
Discard habits such as smoking and excessive drinking, maintain a regular lifestyle, and ensure adequate sleep daily.
6. Pursue a Younger Attitude, Focus on External Youthfulness:
While being faithful to your spouse, maintain an admiring attitude towards women. Regular sexual activity between spouses supports secretion of sex gland hormones, preserving and maintaining sexual function.
