Men’s Sexual Health
Sexual health can be a difficult topic to talk about, but for many of us, a fulfilling sex life is a vital part of a happy and healthy life. That’s why it’s important to take care of your sexual health and learn as much as you can about it. For men, strong sexual health involves many components, including physical, mental, and emotional health, which all play a major role in and out of the bedroom. Let’s talk about what men’s sexual health is all about, including the challenges that many men face and what they can do to improve and fortify their sexual health throughout their life.
What is sexual health?
What do we mean when we say, “sexual health?” This term usually gets applied to medical issues like sexually transmitted infections, but it’s about so much more than that! Sexual health is directly connected to physical and mental health. Everything from erectile dysfunction to depression are considered sexual health issues, as they impact our libido, arousal, sexual function, and ability to experience pleasure and “let go” for orgasms to happen. Sexual health is related to sex, of course, but it is a key component of our overall health.
Men’s sexual health challenges
Over the course of our lives, many different sexual health challenges can crop up. Some have physical causes, like aging, certain health diagnoses, or stress, and others can be caused by external things like side effects from medications. Many of the challenges on this list can impact both men and women, and some only impact men. Let’s talk about some of the most common ones we see.
- Low libido: This usually means losing interest in sex or sexual activity, or it may disappear entirely. This is usually diagnosed by comparing current sexual desire levels to how they have been previously in the person’s life. Low libido is often temporary and rarely permanent and can be supported in a range of ways, including taking supplements and talking to mental health practitioners.
- Erectile dysfunction or erection difficulties: This is one of the most common concerns among men of all ages, even though it’s often attributed to men over 40. Erectile dysfunction is a medical diagnosis that comes from a doctor and usually means the person struggles to reach an erection, the erection is lost quickly, or erection can’t happen at all. Erection difficulties are far more common and describe many different issues, including reduced erection strength and rigidity, difficulty reaching an erection in certain environments or circumstances, losing an erection before orgasm happens, and erections that don’t look or feel the way the person expects them to.
- Premature or early ejaculation: This is another incredibly common concern among men of all ages. Premature ejaculation is a medical diagnosis that comes from a doctor and typically describes ejaculation that happens within 2 minutes of sex. Early ejaculation is far more common and usually means a person ejaculates sooner than he expects or would prefer, or sooner than a partner wants it to happen. Many are surprised to learn that ejaculation can happen between 2 and 12 minutes, which is considered a normal range.
- Delayed orgasm or ejaculation: We often hear about this less often than premature ejaculation or early ejaculation, though it is common. Delayed orgasm or ejaculation usually describes orgasm or ejaculation that takes longer than a person expects or would prefer, or longer than a partner would like. This can be caused by a range of things, including libido or arousal challenges and even medication side effects.
