Sexual Abstinence In Men And Its Effects by HealthTutor: 5:20pm On Nov 01, 2017
Sex is one of essential needs of human beings, their call of nature. Sexual instinct is one of the strongest, and we must reckon with it.

How does lack of sex influences men’s health?
Sexual abstinence has a negative influence on men’s health. Long abstinence can cause such disorders as prostatitis, erectile dysfunction, reduced libido, premature ejaculation and others. Frequent ejaculations may remove potentially harmful substances from the prostate. Use it or lose it: Men who have sex infrequently are twice as likely to experience erectile dysfunction as men who do it once a week or more, The older a man is, the more difficult it is to restore his sexual function after a long period of abstinence. Lack of sex is the cause of hormone changes in the man’s organism, which in turn often leads to body weight gain, problems with skin, psychological discomfort and various disorders. Lack of regular sexual life has a negative impact on the men’s mentality. A man becomes apathetic and passive; he loses interest in life. Men suffering from lack of sex often get depressed. Occasionally, lack of satisfactory sexual relations with a woman can even cause a change of sexual orientation in men.

When Men Suffer Low Sex Drive
Men are so ashamed of speaking up about low sexual desire. It violates their own sense of masculinity. After all, virility plays a big role in our concept of manhood. There’s this idea you’re supposed to live up to: "Real men are always in the mood."

What Causes It?
Lots of men have low sex drive, for a lot of reasons. And there are many ways to treat it.
Any number of things, some physical and some psychological. Sometimes it’s both.
Physical issues that can cause low libido include low testosterone, prescription medicines, too little or too much exercise, and alcohol and drug use. Psychological issues can include depression, stress, and problems in your relationship.

How Is It Treated?
Depending on the cause, possible treatments include:
• Healthier lifestyle choices. Improve your diet, get regular exercise and enough sleep, cut down on the alcohol, and reduce stress.
• Change to a new medication, if the one you’re on is affecting your libido
• Testosterone replacement therapy
• Counseling
Your doctor may recommend therapy if the issue is psychological. In many cases, a low libido points to a desire for a closer connection with your partner -- one that isn’t sexual, but still intimate. It can help to talk through these issues with a therapist, either alone or with your partner. If the issue is depression, antidepressants, can help. Some of them actually lower your sex drive, though.
What about the meds you may have seen in TV and magazine ads, like Cialis, Levitra, and Viagra? These don’t boost libido. They help you get and keep erections.
The bottom line: Know your body and tell your doctor what you’re feeling. Don’t hold back. That’s the only way he’ll know whether the root of the problem is physical, psychological, or both.
And the sooner you know, the sooner you can get back to feeling like yourself again.

AIDS is real! Better to abstain and be clean than follow your theory and regret forever.
