Sexual health is often seen as a taboo topic. But basing your plan for health on myths and misconceptions can cost you your time, your money and even your health. That’s why
we’ve rounded up the top 5 myths when it comes to male sexual health. By debunking these outdated ideas, men can finally reach out and get the help and support they need in order to have the sex life they’ve always wanted.
1. Premature Ejaculation Only Happens to Old or Young Men
Premature ejaculation is common but also misunderstood. Many times men think it’s a problem people only experience I their youth or as they age and their testosterone levels begin to drop. The truth, however, is that premature ejaculation can happen to any man at any time. Sometimes the problem is brought on by stress or anxiety and it’s simply a one-off issue. Other times it’s the result of long term issues such as a poor diet or declining health. While premature ejaculation is often nothing to worry about, it is a sign that something isn’t quite right. Don’t shrug it off as being a part of getting older – learn about the potential causes so you can address the problem at its core.
2. Sexual Health Is All About Stamina
While stamina is a good indicator of overall sexual health, it’s not the only metric you should be looking at. Your quality of performance and sexual libido are also indicators of how healthy your sex life is. Stamina reflects not only your sexual health but also your overall fitness, which is why it gets so much attention. But focusing on stamina alone can lead to neglecting other issues. Instead of focusing all your efforts on one area, use a whole body, multi-discipline approach that addresses your sexual and physical health as a whole.
3. Sexual Dysfunction Is All in Your Head
Many times, problems such as stress or anxiety can trigger or exacerbate a sexual performance problem. While mental and emotional issues play a role, that doesn’t mean these problems should be chalked up to being “all in your head” as if that’s no big deal. The fact of the matter is that mental exhaustion, stress and other issues can trigger a host of physical reactions, including sexual dysfunction and even more serious conditions such as depression, high blood pressure and headaches. Forge the idea that problems in your mind aren’t related to physical well-being.
4. Doctors Just Can’t Help
Many people assume men avoid seeing the doctor at all costs and, generally speaking, it’s a stereotype that holds true. In many cases this is because men think their general practitioner simply can’t help with sexual performance but this isn’t true. Today, primary care doctors are used to helping patients with conditions that could be affecting their sex life. In fact, doctors are in the best position to help as they can explain how one condition may be impacting performance and how best to address the issue. Not only can a doctor offer a number of different treatments, there are now clinics specially designed to deal with nothing but male sexual health. These clinics often focus on testosterone therapy but that doesn’t mean they don’t offer other forms of treatment. For men reluctant to go to their family doctor with concerns about sexual performance, these clinics offer the perfect solution.
5. All Products Are Scams
While many self-improvement products over-promise and under deliver, todays male enhancement marketplace is better than ever been before. Products today are often put through clinical testing as customers become more savvy and companies realise that science backed options not only sell better, but improve a company’s reputation within the male enhancement community. This has resulted in dozens of products backed by reputable companies which strive for true customer satisfaction. Doing the research necessary to identify these products and companies may take more time, but it’s time well spent for those serious about improving their sex lives.
