Sex and Your Health

This is a sizzling topic that generates a lot of interest especially among the sexually matured. Abstaining adults who believe there is an appropriate time and context for the expression of this deeply ingrained desire that promises to deliver great satisfaction. Also among many married people who are having disparity in their perspectives about sex and are consequently unable to fill their sexual void reciprocally. 

Now, sexual problems are deeply emotional and can translate to other aspects of human life, causing stress and all its attendant health problems. 

This subject has also been responsible for a lot of relational problems like breakdown in communication, insomnia, unfriendly and irrational behavior, distraction from productive endeavors, loss of man-hours at the work place, loss of vital sources of income, not to talk of infidelity in family relationships, children out of wedlock, sexually transmitted diseases like Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, syphilis, Yaws, HIV/AIDS and many more. 

The health implication of sex is enormous and for us to see the importance of it, we need to know the implications of a wrong administration of it. I therefore welcome you to a journey into this ancient and narrow aspect of human relationship that is as old as man himself. 

It is important to note that satisfying sex did not start with our generation neither did its ills begin with modernization. There are as many pathways to sexual expression as there are shades of human creativity. Humans, for ages, have been seeking out ways to spice up this vital aspect of their lives and it will surprise you, the volume of information available on the topic, many of which are injurious to curious ‘Guinea pigs’ who engage in experimentation. 

The first health matter I want to address does not necessarily occur as a result of sexual activity but it affects the sexual organs and has maimed many naive young men, rendering them sexually impotent. It commonly affects people on some antidepressant drugs and drugs that are used for treating erectile dysfunction. It also affects a group of people called Sicklers (specifically males) and it is called Priapism.

Priapism is defined as a painful purposeless and persistent penile erection. Especially when it occurs in sickle cell, it may require a surgical intervention that results in disability. If you wake up in the morning with an erection which persist for long and is painful, please speak with your doctor as quickly as possible since there are medications available to reverse the process before a need for surgery arises. 

When I was in medical school, one of my classmates who had a master’s degree in humanities and obviously more experienced at the time, said something that troubled me. He said that it could take an average of 5 – 10 years for a couple to attain sexual equilibrium. That’s freaking too long! Can’t spend a fortune of my lifespan waiting to get there. But alas, when push comes to shove, we just get engrossed with making things work without realizing that time waits for no one. I guess you understand – I’m still working at it myself but, I have made a lot of progress out of which I’ll share with you. But, please beware of sex stimulants and enhancers or potentiates. Concerning aphrodisiacs, I truly believe that everyone can be a champion in their own ring if they really want to and really try. 

It is said that the greatest sex need of a man, a real man, is to satisfy his wife, not to have an orgasm. Not to satisfy himself. It’s literally frustrating to not be able to get your wife to a climax, especially if it happens always. It makes a man lose his self-esteem. And that is the reason the sex enhancement market is booming, because men are willing to spend a fortune to redeem their image in bed. 

But come to think of it, when you finally create a wrong image of yourself as a macho man, based on the ‘doping drugs’, and then get caught in a tight corner where your true capacity is tested without dope. How about that? Why don’t you train like a real athlete who can withstand any circumstance and excel in strength? Stamina is built not bought. Once you develop it, it’s yours for real. 

And I am writing all this to say that it works! You too can do it! But you need to be patient and do your bit. Don’t expect to be ‘the Hercules’ in a single swoop. Success takes time! Arm yourself with this knowledge, then take your journey to the ‘yonder land’. 

Space will fail me to write about the remedies in detail so, I’ll simply mention them then, you read up online or connect with Virtual Hospital for further coaching. 

1. The Kegel exercise (for men and women). 

2. Pause – Squeeze technique (men only) 

3. Stop – Start technique (for men only) 

By far, the commonest sexual problem in men is, Premature Ejaculation. That means climaxing before your partner. It can be really frustrating! But the three exercises highlighted above truly help.

In the same vein, you can enlarge and elongate your penis by physical exercises. Please be wary of artificial help except you run out of options or of course by a doctor’s recommendation. 

Now the women are not let out. Tighten your vagina and increase your sensation thereby, reducing the time required for you to climax. 

Above all, I must say that the mind is the greatest sex organ. I can’t exhaust the explanation to this statement in this article. Leave the Viagra for the old and feeble, roll up your sleeves and be a man! 

You can do this. You are more than capable.

Now we can begin to scratch the surface of the health benefits of sex. Sex is a mode of expression and communication that affects the tripathied component of the human being – spirit, soul and body. 

When sex is taken out of this context it could become a major source of confusion and frustration to the human being. 

One of the main benefits of sex is an emotional release of energy and desire. 

Man is created to be insufficient in himself and by himself. 

Sex is an anchor that connects one human being with another. 

This anchor is like a circuit that ensures the flow of vital energy required for accomplishment of life dreams and aspirations. 

Sex is supposed to create a multiplier effect in the endeavors of two people who are committed in heart and soul. 

In the same vein, it could be a source of leakage and discipation of creative and productive energies. 

Benefit #1

Sex cause the release of Endorphins

Endorphin is derived from two words 1. Endogenous: means internal

2. Morphene: a chemical substance that work on opiate receptors in the brain to cause pain relieve and pleasure. 

Endorphins are chemical substances secreted by the pituitary gland in the brain and serves to stimulate our opiate receptors causing pain relief and a feeling of pleasure.
