A man’s sexuality is crucial to his perception of masculinity, therefore, it is vital they understand the inner workings of their sexual organs and how a healthy sex life does not begin and end with an erection. Here are a few very important thing all men should know about their sexual health.

Sex is a healthy, necessary and natural part of life – it helps to keep the body vital, improves sleep, helps to reduce anxiety and increases self-confidence. Studies indicate that men who enjoy active sex lives are generally in good physical and emotional health. The right foods and regular exercise are powerful tools in keeping the cardiovascular system in optimum health – and the healthy functioning of that "all-important organ".
Get your sleep:
While we sleep our bodies perform maintenance and repair to cells and tissues – including those of the sexual organs. Throughout the night, healthy men experience erections that are thought to be crucial to the health of the penile tissue.
If a man doesn’t sleep well and misses out on the REM phase (a cycle during sleep where blood vessels are widened), the tissue around the penis can become deficient of oxygen and nutrients causing damage and affecting the ability of the penis to become rigid. Men who do not have normal erections during sleep often have difficulty sustaining erections when they are awake. Men who no longer experience morning erections should consult their doctor.
Regular sex and ageing:
Studies show that men over 50 have a longer life expectancy if they have at least two orgasms a month while heart attack victims apparently survive longer if they regularly have sex. The natural process for the ageing male is that once they hit 40 years old their blood vessels start to age, becoming furred with fatty deposits that can affect blood flow to the penis, putting men at risk for erectile dysfunction.
Fatty tissues build up and the consequential hardening of arteries is the result of obesity, high blood pressure, lack of exercise and a diet high in saturated fats. With time, a man’s testicles may also not be able to produce as much testosterone, making it difficult for the penis to become rigid. A good exercise routine – inside and outside the bedroom – is key to longevity.
Don’t stress:
With each sexual encounter the Luteinizing hormone is released – it is central to sexual appetite and drive. Fear of failure and anxiety over sexual performance causes the production of adrenalin, which can affect a man’s ability to maintain an erection. This will in turn lower of the production of the luteinizing hormone – a vicious circle caused by anxiety and reduced intimacy.
So if your member is not rising to occasion as much as he should, don’t make it worse by worrying about it, rather visit your doctor – sooner than later.
Cardiovascular health:
The common health conditions that affect erections also cause heart attacks and strokes and in fact 90% of men with erectile dysfunction have risk factors for cardiovascular disease – the number one killer in the western world. Studies suggest that in a group of men with penile artery disease, 50 to 75% will also have the early stages of blocked arteries around the heart.
An erection therefore plays a central role in a man’s health as it is an excellent visible indicator of what is going on in the rest of his body. When there are problems with sexual appetite and performance, a direct link can be made to health, especially cardiovascular health. Men should learn to address the source of these problems by focusing on how their lifestyle influences their cardiovascular system.
By making a few simple lifestyle changes, men can prevent and reverse conditions that diminish health and hardness – at any age.
