Simple methods to enhance male sexual function
1. Exercise for sexual enhancement
The most important thing for enhancing sexual function and improving endurance is to improve overall blood circulation, especially in the lower body. Poor blood circulation can lead to blood stasis and various health issues, resulting in decreased energy and endurance. Therefore, it is necessary to stimulate the body in various ways to promote metabolism and improve blood circulation.
2. Stimulation of the index finger
This method has the advantage of not being limited by time or place and is very easy to implement.
For example, when taking a bus to and from work in the morning and evening, hook the index finger around the handrail or hanging ring inside the bus; or in leisure time, repeatedly pull and stretch the index fingers of both hands; or use an umbrella handle or a golf club to massage the index finger; a simple method is to use the index fingers of both hands to hook a stick or bamboo pole and rotate the upper body left and right. This is because the index finger is the pathway of the large intestine meridian in the body, and the tip of the index finger is the Shang Yang Acupoint. From a medical perspective, stimulating this meridian and acupoint has obvious effects in enhancing sexual function and boosting Qi.
3. Method to enhance erection ability - horse stance
Stand with your legs spread apart and shoulder-width apart, with your knees flexed significantly. The position of the knees is very important and should not be inwardly flexed and stretched forcefully.
This way, the knees must be flexed and bent, which will have a stimulating effect on the pubic bone. The position of the knees flexion is crucial for the impact on the pubic bone. Next is the position of the hands, with the thumbs placed on the waist. The other four fingers press against the spine like a latch, while the body leans backward. The first movement of the four fingers is to press inward, and by thinking about massaging the buttocks, you can easily understand.
