Why Sexual Health is Important for the Rest of the Body

There is a lot of talk about physical health, or mental and emotional health, our kids’ health, our pet’s health, even the planet’s health, but there seems to be very little discussion about our sexual health. This article will look at some important tips related to the sexual health of both men and women.

Male Impotence, also called erectile dysfunction (ED), is one of the most common forms of dysfunction experienced by men. The majority of men will experience this problem at some point in their lives. Impotence is more common in men older than 65, but it can occur at any age. The majority of men experience erectile dysfunction at least one time in their lives and this is very normal. It is also normal as men age that they will experience changes in the erectile function just as they experience changes with the rest of their body. Their orgasms may not be as powerful as they once were and the time it takes to get hard in between orgasms will become longer. There are a couple of signs and/or symptoms of impotence; inability to have a full erection, inability to maintain an erection during intercourse, and the complete inability to achieve an erection regardless of the attempts made.

The way a penis maintains an erection is primarily the way it is made. The penis has two cylindrical structures that look kind of like sponges. These cylindrical shapes run along the length of the penis. When arousal takes, place blood begins to flow into the cylinders, which then increase up to seven times their normal size. Just as a sponge when you get it wet it expands, the same happens with the penis. When blood flows in to the penis, an erection is formed. The longer the arousal the harder and stiffer the penis becomes. Once ejaculation has occurred the blood flow retreats and the penis goes back to its normal size and shape.

When a person has an orgasm, the body experiences an increase in blood flow, not only to our genitals but also to all the other organs of the body. When the heart rate increases and breathing deepens, the circulation is improved. The body is given a fresh supply of blood flows into all of the organs. The old deprived blood is removed along with toxins that have been collected in the body.

To maintain good physical health, it is important to lower your cholesterol, this is also important for your sexual health as well. If you maintain a diet high in cholesterol your arties will eventually clog and you will experience a heart attack because your body will no longer be able to circulate blood. Now a heart attack is horrible, but consider the side effect of high cholesterol, along with the heart attack. You have now increased your chances of having impotence. If your heart cannot pump blood to the body, it certainly cannot pump enough blood to your genital region. This can make it near impossible to maintain an erection. If you have not done so now, change your diet to low cholesterol one and both your physical health as well as your sexual health will benefit.

The power and release that an orgasm brings is remarkable. Many people completely relax from the day’s tension and are able to drift into peaceful unconsciousness while wrapped up in their lover’s arms. It is next to impossible to worry about those dishes sitting in the sink or the vacuuming and laundry that are waiting for you when you have just had a magnificent climax. The chemical Oxytocin is a natural opiate that is released during sex and becomes quite powerful during an orgasm. It is a powerful pain reliever. It breaks down like this; mores sex – less pain.

There are studies that state that if you have a minimum of two orgasms per week you will live twice as long as those who do not. Sexual health is very important for both men and women. Those who are not able to function normally during intercourse can lose their sense of identity. This can lead to emotional stress and depression. If you are experiencing problems with sexual functions, it is important to speak to your health care provider.
