The concept of "excessive arousal in men" can be considered from two perspectives: situational (temporary) strong sexual desire, which in the absence of exercise causes painful sensations, and constantly increased libido (satire, hypersexuality). Quality of life: A man is unable to concentrate on any activity, is nervous, depressed. His hypersexuality is, in fact, similar to priapism - an unreasonably painful erection that does not disappear after ejaculation. The causes can be both physiological and psychogenic.
Causes and symptoms of hypersexuality
In young men, due to increased testosterone levels, frequent sexual excess is normal, leading to spontaneous ejaculation. This is the so-called pubertal hypersexuality. The main symptoms are:
- Feeling of enlargement of the genitals ("egg-laying");
- Hypersensitivity of the erogenous zones;
- Periodic fever, sweating;
- Frequent urination, often accompanied by excruciating pain in the lower abdomen and lower back.
Urologists usually do not attach much importance to complaints of hypersexuality if they come from young patients. Doctors refer them to a psychologist, but only if they schedule genital infection tests.
Abnormal hypersexuality can be congenital (primary) or acquired. The congenital form of hypersexuality may be associated with central nervous system pathologies, endocrine disorders, and mental disorders. The acquired form is divided into physiological and pathological. In the first case, the increase in sexual desire may be caused by stress or due to high levels of testosterone in the blood.
The pathological form usually develops against the background of organic pathologies of the central nervous system. They are provoked:
- Neuroinfection (encephalitis, meningitis).
- Pain trauma.
- Vascular lesions and brain tumors.
- Intoxication caused by alcohol or drug use.
Hypersexuality in adulthood can be caused by endocrine disorders - an excess of stress hormones or testosterone (due to hyperfunction of the testicles or adrenal cortex).
Hypersexuality of a neurotic nature develops on the basis of its own sense of inferiority, lack of confidence in the solvency of men. The constant desire for sexual intercourse in this case is an unconscious attempt to prove to oneself and others that there are no problems in intimate life.
Elevated hypersexuality of a neurotic nature may occur in men of retirement age during the period of disappearance of sexual function. In this case, the reason is the subconscious desire to "stay in the rank", to compensate for what may have been lacking in youth.
The difference between normal hypersexuality and pathology
The line between hypersexuality caused by a strong sexual constitution and provoked by a pathological condition is arbitrary. Some men need sex every day and over and over again. It is normal if the process brings pleasure and satisfaction while professional, creative and social activity does not suffer (developed structure of needs). In this case we can talk about high levels of vital energy and not pathologically excessive arousal.
Natural primary hypersexuality can be caused by genetic characteristics. Men whose fathers were sexually active are more likely to follow in their footsteps.
Satire is an obsessive painful need for sex that is almost impossible to get rid of. Over time, such men are prone to sexual perversion because normal relationships become too weak for them. Almost no time is devoted to other aspects of life. Such hypersexuality can be imaginary or manic. The latter is much more difficult to correct.
The physiological symptoms of hypersexuality in adult men are similar to those of puberty:
- Prolonged erection even from a fleeting erotic image, fantasy;
- Premature ejaculation;
- Stretching sensations in the lower abdomen.
An important difference between pathology and norm is that men with a strong sexual constitution can quickly switch to other activities (work, daily life) as soon as their physiological sexual needs are met. Abnormal hypersexuality forces you to look for the possibility of a new sexual act literally immediately.
Agitation and testicular pain
Pain in the testicles due to unrealized sexual arousal occurs in many men, not necessarily hypersexual. The degree of discomfort is different for everyone. The pain can be so intense that it is difficult for a man to walk. This is caused by excessive blood flow to the genitals, which causes the nerve endings to stretch. It is sufficient for the patient to relax, or use an anesthetic or antispasmodic.
The cause of pain during excessive arousal may be varicocele or genital infections, the activity of which weakens the testicles, disrupting their normal structure. If the symptom manifests itself regularly, you should consult a urologist.
If the discomfort in the groin area is already clearly felt during excessive arousal, then masturbation or sex will not bring relief. Conversely, orgasm can be vague and ejaculation can be very painful. The pain will be felt for another two hours, and in some men it does not go away for several days. You can relieve the discomfort with aspirin. Mint infusion will help you relax smooth muscles.
The only way to avoid pain is to avoid over-stimulation. If you have a date without an intimate relationship, but sexual intercourse is not excluded, then it is better to ejaculate in advance. Sounds weird, but this option is better than then, because "back" you experience severe pain for many hours, which is literally disconnected from normal life.
Other problems of hypersexuality
Increased anxiety in men, inability to control the quality of sexual desire can become a serious problem. Any provocation, including in a public place, causes an erection that is difficult to hide.
Absurd situations often arise: During sexual intercourse, excessive sexual arousal (often accompanied by the release of lubricant from the cooper glands) ends with the penis drooping during insertion or even premature ejaculation.
Hypersexuality prevents you from focusing on important work issues. Such men are unable to concentrate, show initiative, which is why they often lose perspective jobs.
How to get rid of obsessive-compulsive disorder
Treatment of hypersexuality depends on the cause. First it is necessary to eliminate physiological factors. To do this, you should start with a visit to the urologist, make sure there are no pathologies of the reproductive system, check the level of hormones. A neurologist (neurologist) can help you identify problems with your brain and spinal cord.
Psychogenic hypersexuality is developed by psychologists-sexologists. You can help the patient only if he himself realizes the problem and wants to escape from it. The choice of methods depends on how rich a man's intimate life is, in what other ways he can enjoy it, what efforts he is willing to make. If the patient is unable to concentrate and interact with a psychologist, hypnosis is used. In addition to psychotherapeutic methods, if necessary, antidepressants, sedatives and sleeping pills are prescribed.
What to do at home
Sexual arousal can be bothersome from morning to evening. If hypersexuality is not caused by physical pathologies, then you can try the following methods to reduce it:
- Take a cool shower, empty your bladder, or perform daily activities. We must remember that a morning erection is a normal occurrence, a sign of a lack of vascular impotence.
- It is advisable to devote all your free time during the day. Endurance training (moderate cardio, low weight repetition) will help relieve sexual tension. Heavy weight training, sitting, mixing and lifting the legs, on the contrary, will lead to activation of the genitals.
- It is advisable to take sedatives at bedtime to slow down psycho-emotional activity.
You can try to deal with hypersexuality with the help of sedative herbal decoctions or pharmaceutical herbal preparations. It is important to note that such funds, especially valerian, start working only after a few days of regular use (cumulative effect).
If hypersexuality is provoked by alcohol or drug intoxication, then it is impossible to correct the condition without getting rid of bad habits. You can help your body get rid of toxic substances by taking enterosorbents.
Conclusion
Excessive arousal, hypersexuality is much worse than decreased libido. In the latter case, many men lead a full-fledged social life, achieve success in professional activities, do not pay much attention to the lack of sex. Addiction to it makes a person emotionally (and then physically) disabled. True hypersexuality rarely develops. Basically, men develop in their minds the need to engage in sexual intercourse. Such thoughts are introduced by a certain informational environment, the environment. Experts believe that the higher the intellectual level of development, as well as the degree of employment of a person, the less likely he is to develop any kind of mental dependence.
