For the average male, as long as they are in the right situation and opportunity, they will not have a decrease in sexual desire. However, some men are affected by sexual desire disorders and cannot actively respond to their wives' demands for sexual life, or even are unwilling to have sex, which can greatly harm both spouses. Generally speaking, there are many factors that affect male sexuality, and the most common ones are the following.
1. Age
This is an important factor affecting sexual desire. Women's sexual desire does not reach its peak until they are 30 to 40 years old, and gradually declines after menopause. A significant proportion of young women have less strong demands on sexual life itself, and even lack initiative. It is not surprising that their sexual desire needs to be awakened by their husbands.
2. Health status
The impact of health on sexual desire is both important and complex, as only physically and mentally healthy individuals can maintain normal sexual desire for a long time. However, there are indeed some patients with severe diseases who maintain strong sexual desire just like healthy people. Therefore, for this issue, it is necessary to distinguish between different situations and conduct a specific analysis.
3. Emotion
The relationship between marital emotions and sexual desire is very close and quite subtle. This is not surprising, because unlike other animals, the generation of sexual desire is not simply a biological instinct, but is often triggered by love.
Therefore, there are obstacles in the relationship between husband and wife, especially when it reaches the level of rupture, resulting in mutual boredom and decreased sexual desire. Moreover, some couples appear calm and never argue, but they distrust each other and harbor mutual suspicion. This seemingly estranged couple can also cause decreased libido due to a bad mood. Therefore, sexual harmony between couples stems from emotional harmony between couples.
4. Physical and mental exhaustion
Due to work stress, concentration on learning, or busy social work, or overworked mental work, personal private life is relatively inhibited, affecting the functional state of the advanced nervous system, resulting in a gradual indifference to sexual life, resulting in sexual dysfunction.
5. Nutrition
Nutrition is the material foundation of sexual life. Malnutrition can cause amenorrhea in women. Research results show that the lack of important trace elements such as protein and zinc can cause sexual dysfunction. Adequate and complete nutrition, especially eating foods containing high-quality protein, multiple vitamins, and zinc, can maintain normal levels of sexual function. However, it should also be noted that excessive nutrition can cause obesity, while severe obesity is prone to decreased libido.
6. Emotions
When people are in a bad mood, their libido tends to temporarily decline, especially in severe situations such as extreme sadness, terror, indignation, sadness, depression, and despair, where their libido can be significantly affected or even completely lost. As bad emotions subside, sexual desire will also recover, but in general, the recovery time is slower than when bad emotions subside.
7. Addicted to tobacco and alcohol
Female alcoholism is prone to sexual dysfunction, reduced vaginal secretions, causing pain and lack of pleasure in sexual life, leading to decreased libido. However, the impact of tobacco and alcohol on sexual function is reversible, and most people's sexual function can gradually return to normal levels after abstinence from tobacco and alcohol.
8. Drugs
Taking certain drugs for a long time or in large quantities can cause sexual dysfunction and even cause sexual apathy in women. There are many types of drugs that affect sexual function. Among them, the main and common ones are: reserpine, Rauwolfu, propranolol, chlorpromazine, ibuprofen, and some anticancer drugs. Longer periods of radiation therapy can also lead to decreased libido.
Once a man loses interest in sexual life, it will inevitably lead to marital discord. Therefore, male friends should pay more attention to this aspect of the situation, and if there are abnormal manifestations, please promptly treat them to prevent the threat of sexual dysfunction diseases.
