"Sex" is one of the topics that men are most concerned about yet often overlook. When they encounter difficulties in their sexual lives and gradually drift apart, they realize that sexual function is not like an engine that can always operate smoothly; it also requires care and maintenance, especially during 5 key periods.
During puberty and after puberty (ages 16-24), males undergo significant physiological changes, with testosterone levels increasing by as much as forty to fifty times, leading to sexual desire, erections, sexual fantasies, and nocturnal emissions. Faced with these normal sexual impulses, young men often experience significant psychological pressure because they don't know how to handle them. The key to sexual health during this period lies in proper guidance. First and foremost, it is important to understand that masturbation is a normal means of releasing sexual desire and, as long as it is done in moderation, it generally does not harm the body. Secondly, males in this period are still adolescents with weaker self-control, making them more prone to excessive masturbation. Additionally, feelings of guilt and fear can result in significant psychological burdens, causing dizziness, tinnitus, memory decline, anxiety, and even decreased sensitivity in penile nerve reflexes. During this stage, parents should be more attentive to their child's life, guiding them to divert their attention and satisfy their sexual needs through other means, such as cultivating personal hobbies and participating in group activities. Males should also pay attention to personal hygiene, regularly inspect their genitals, and check for any abnormal lesions.
Honeymoon period: On their wedding night, perhaps due to excessive nervousness, Mr. Wang was unable to achieve an erection. In clinical practice, it is common to encounter males who experience erectile dysfunction (ED) for one or more years due to the failure of sexual activity on their wedding night. The main cause is often psychogenic, such as the first sexual encounter for both parties, which inevitably leads to awkwardness and excessive nervousness and anxiety. These factors can overstimulate the sympathetic nervous system, resulting in ED. If men carry a heavy psychological burden as a result, it is likely to make them even more anxious during the next sexual encounter, leading to a vicious cycle of "the more afraid, the less successful". To overcome these problems, it is necessary for men to relax and fully engage in sexual activity, while also requiring understanding and support from their wives. At the same time, before the wedding night, both husband and wife should learn together about sexual knowledge, overcome their anxieties, and effectively improve the quality of their sexual lives.
