Men’s Sexual Well-Being Beyond Performance

Introduction

Every person has a different mindset and different body type and the factors like physical, emotional, and psychological aspects play pivotal roles in our sexual performance. Men’s sexual performance was only limited to stamina and strength. Today’s generation's belief in men’s well-being is exaggerated far beyond the traditional focus. Sexual education not only concentrates on sex but also talks about a wide spectrum of information like consent, pleasure, sexual health, and emotions. In this blog, we’ll briefly discuss how men’s sexual health and well-being are not solely about their physical capabilities but also determined by their mental and physical health.

So, without any further ado, let's move forward with the blog talking about different factors influencing men’s sexual well-being.

Reasons Influencing Men’s Sexual Performance

Let’s discuss some factors apart from traditional factors that affect men's sexual well-being and performance:

• Emotional and Psychological Factor: We all have so many insecurities and lack of self-esteem that sometimes affect our sexual performance as well. Nowadays, many of us suffer from depression and anxiety which creates a barrier to sexual intimacy and desires. It affects the personal relationship of a person. One of the main reasons for male ejaculation problems lies in this factor. 
• Physical Health: Good physical health plays a crucial role in improved sexual well-being. Your lifestyle choices can affect or improve your sexual performance. Men who have diabetes, surgeries to the prostate gland, or any other health issue can face male ejaculation problems. Your diet and the exercise you do regularly also influence your sexual performance. 
• Communication and Desires: A healthy relationship starts when you are comfortable with your partner and share your desires and feelings openly. Open communication makes both partners satisfied during their sexual intimacy.
• Sex Education: Every individual should be educated about sexual well-being as it is very important for happy and healthy sexual well-being. It teaches you a detailed discussion about pleasure, consent, emotion, and physical connectivity and makes you aware of the different desires of a human.

Male Reproductive System Problems

There are many problems that men face. Let's discuss and talk about a few common male reproductive system problems:

• Erectile Dysfunction: In erectile dysfunction, it becomes quite difficult for men to maintain an erect penis, which creates problems during sexual intercourse. The reasons for erectile dysfunction are psychological causes and ageing in men.
• Loss of Libido: Libido is the desire to have sexual intercourse or sex-seeking behaviour. There are different levels of libido, that vary from one person to the other. Due to the loss of libido, the person loses his interest in sexual desires and intercourse or distress, which creates problems in a happy relationship. The symptoms behind the loss of libido are fatigue, psychological causes, and many other symptoms as well. 
• Premature Ejaculation: In premature ejaculation or rapid ejaculation, ejaculation does not happen at the time the man and his partner want during sexual intercourse and happens sooner than the desired time. This happens due to biological and emotional reasons.
• Testicular Lumps: Lumps on your testicle or swelling on your testicle can be dangerous as it has very rare chances to be a sign of cancer. Testicle lumps can also affect fertility. It can be in the area around the testicles.
