The Male Sex Drive

A man’s sex drive is usually in his head. There are two areas in the brain that are critical to a man’s sex drive and performance, these are the limbic system and the cerebral cortex.

The two areas play a significant role to an extent that a man is capable of attaining an orgasm simply by dreaming or thinking of a pleasurable sexual experience.

The Cerebral Cortex is the brain’s outer layer grey matter. It’s the part of the human brain that is charged with the following higher functions:

•        Movement

•        Sensation

•        Thought

Sex fall squarely in the thought bracket and after a man gets aroused, the signals originating, from the cerebral cortex region hasten both blood flow and heart rate to the genitals. The brain cerebral cortex region initiates the process that generates an erection.

The limbic system is a segment of the cerebral cortex. It covers the following areas;

•        Hippocampus

•        Thalamus

•        Amygdala

•        Hypothalamus

The above components are involved with sex drive, motivation and emotion. Emory University-based researchers discovered that viewing sexually arousing images magnifies the activity in men’s amygdalae region.

The same experiment discovered that males were more aroused by the pictures more than females. 

Sex Drive in Male Adults

When we become adults, testosterone cease to boost male sexual organ growth. Testosterone now handles maintaining a sex drive. Unfortunately for men, when we reach the age of 18 years, our testosterone levels start diminishing although it is unnoticeable.

Mayo Clinic reports that by the time a man hits 30 years, testosterone levels begin dropping by 1%. Some men lose their ability to maintain hard erection and result to soft erection treatment options.

In recent years, there has surfaced numerous discussions about sexual peak. However, sexual peak has not yet been measured in a consistent manner. Testosterone levels pick up in men during our late teens and as testosterone declines we take longer to achieve an erection.

As testosterone levels dip, the longer it takes a man to maintain hard erection once more after ejaculating.

To counter these effects, it’s important that we check our diet, get a regular physical check-up. Also, men are advised to curb their cigarette and alcohol and drugs consumption.

To treat Erectile Dysfunction that have their roots from low testosterone, medical practitioners advise older men to use enhancements once in a while. Soft erection treatment once consumed by an older adult will help him perform better in bed.

Treatment for Sexual Problems

Maintain an erection during sex is a true male dilemma. This is one question for which most of the men are looking for an answer. However, with little change, practice and perseverance, a truly firm erection can be achieved. We ensure that the methods described here are based on real life experiences and industry knowledge of sexual consultants. Read through the article to find gems of information to solve your sexual problems forever.

 1. Eat Watermelon seeds

This is one trick known to be used by many porn actors. The watermelon seed is rich in Citrulline which, after ingested and metabolized, the blood arrives as nitric oxide. This is an important component in maintain hard erection, it is what relaxes the smooth muscle in the penis and provides the corpora cavernosa to fill with blood, thus leading to erection. In health food stores, you can buy roasted seeds. Prefer non-salty to avoid sodium intake in the body. How much you need to eat a day? 30 grams is enough, or two tablespoons. Another option is tea made with water 500ml or so juice, beating the pulp and the seeds in a blender, but without adding water or sugar.

2. Anesthetic Ointment

Once the penis to be erect, place a minimum amount of EMLA cream (found at any drugstore and cost about 30 dollars) on the foreskin of the penis, enough to cover the tip of a cotton swab. Do not cover the entire glans, not to let the totally insensitive penis. The intention is to decrease the sensitivity in the erogenous point of the penis.

3. Whiskey Doses if done well

Whiskey is an excellent peripheral vasodilator, thus allowing your penis to fill with blood and, as alcohol is quickly absorbs and blocks certain neurotransmitters in the nervous system. It greatly decreases the sensitivity in the extremities. That is, men take much longer to ejaculate during sex. An important note: fermented beverages such as beer, wine and champagne usually has the opposite effect, leaving the more flaccid penis than usual. In addition, whiskey two doses are enough. The whole bottle causes you powerlessness over the years.

4 Eat right

Look for lower fat intake, so there is no compromise on the blood vessels. The external pudendal artery, which takes blood from the heart straight to the penis, is so thin that it is the first artery in the body to become blocked. As the blood flow to the penis will shrink, the erection will be compromised. Men who have experienced situations reported signs of impotency two years before the stroke. So, understand, where there is excess fat there is no health. If impotency is coming, it is worth to diet and exercise. And for best performance, sex comes before dinner, after taking food your blood will be concentrated in digestion, especially if the food is heavy.

5. Change pace and frequency

During intercourse, if you keep the same momentum, the session will end fast. We need to change the pace and movement to decrease the excitement of the penis. The more frantic and consecutive are your movements; greater are the chances of you ejaculating quickly. Learn insinuating penetration in different ways, involving not only the usual movements, but also circular movements, not deep penetration. So when you think you're close to coming, control your anxiety, slow down and change the sex position. This may be a good time to perform oral sex on your partner, for example.

6. Deep breathing

About 5 seconds before ejaculating, tilt your head up and breathe deeply. The lungs fill with air and the pubis retracts, compressing the muscles around the base of the penis. The abdomen must remain retracted for about 5 seconds or more while the lungs remains filled with air. Breathing should slowly return to normal, while there is an exchange of motion and depth of penetration to shallower and slower movements. A warning here is not to get to the exact last second before using this technique because it can happen the ejaculatory process begin chemically in the brain and be physically blocked in the penis region. Therefore, if you wait till the very last second, the chemical process of ejaculation will already start in your brain and it will then be impossible for you to hold on to your ejaculation.

7. Erotic thoughts

The brain is the body's largest sex organ. It is in charge of sending the command to the heart to pump blood to the penis. This is the exact reason why imaging sex scenes cause erection in men. An obscene thought in your brain can lead to early ejaculation. Use this information to your advantage. When you are close to an orgasm, change your thinking by images in the brain. This will take some practice before you become perfect. Once you feel that the penis is losing its erection capacity, resume sexual thought. Another tactic to prevent ejaculation is close your eyes, because the shape of the woman's body increases your libido, thus speeding up the orgasmic process.

8. Exercise to stop premature ejaculation

Start masturbation and when you feel that will ejaculate stop, slow down your breath, calm thinking and wait till your feeling of ejaculation subside. Resume masturbation again, stop often as you about to ejaculate. Practice this exercise continuously for at least 10 to 15 minutes. Do it 3-4 times a week at least. The purpose of this exercise is to educate and teach you to control anxiety at the time of pre-orgasm, so you learn to identify and stop the ejaculation process.

What is Frigidity?

Frigidity is often described as complete absence of sexual arousal in women. These women cannot get aroused even after long and appropriate touching of the vagina. This is therefore a completely different problem than inability of achieving intense orgasm. Sexology is a relatively new science which explored sexual occurrences and sexual behavior of men and women. Every new discovery in this area is replacing old knowledge or it simply changes it. 

There are many limits that do not allow us to get completely accurate information about sexual problems. This is the reason why many researchers had different opinions about frigidity too. For example, English surgeon Acton thought that the opinion that some women don’t experience sexuality is absurd. On the other hand, Freud thought that a woman is frigid if she is unable to achieve orgasm during normal sexual intercourse. Today, frigidity is described with all the casual factors together. But how can we tell if some women is suffering from frigidity?

Some people believe that only women that don’t feel sexual arousal and don’t achieve orgasms can be called frigid. Other people think that a woman is frigid if she doesn’t feel need for sex but can achieve orgasm. Still others believe the opposite – that a woman is frigid if she does feel need for sex but has never experienced an orgasm. In other words, a strict definition of frigidity is impossible to construct, at least not in only one sentence. It is worth mentioning that some claims about female frigidity have been scientifically disproved a long time ago.

Some factors that lead to frigidity

-          Wet dreams – there are many women who believe they are frigid but they have erotic dreams and they masturbate regularly. This only means that they experience sexuality in dreams and masturbation and that’s how they release their sex drive. They are not frigid.

-          A selfish man – this type of men were used to occasional and casual sex encounters and all of a sudden they realize that their wife is sexually unresponsive. They only rely on their masculinity and think that this is all they need in order to provide pleasure to their women. They are bad husbands and bad lovers because they only think about their own needs. In other words, he just takes and gives nothing in return.

-          Feeling of guilt – Some women practice masturbation regularly but they do this with a feeling of guilt that is buried deep in the sub consciousness. These things create limitations and they cannot relax during sex. They even don’t let the partner touch them in the same way they touch themselves and become unnecessary cold.

-          Fear of unwanted pregnancy – This is one of the main reasons for temporary frigidity. Although the contraceptive methods are improved and they guarantee almost 100% protection some women are still afraid that they might end up pregnant. This feeling of fear is especially present in women that cannot use birth control pills and they consider that other methods are unreliable.
