Timeline of male sexual dysfunction

As men age, their sexual function declines, which is generally manifested by a decrease in the frequency of sexual impulses and a weakening of sexual ability. These are all normal physiological phenomena. Men gradually mature and have the ability to have sex after they reach adulthood at the age of 18. As time goes by, their sexual function will decline depending on the frequency of sexual intercourse and their living habits. Doing more exercise on a regular basis can not only improve your physical fitness, but also enhance your sexual function.

① Generally speaking, the human body begins to have sexual life and reproductive functions when it matures at around 20 years old. Sexual function is at its peak at 30-40 years old, and gradually declines after 50 years old. If a person's sexual function gradually declines before the age of 50, it indicates that the body's sexual function begins to age. However, sexual function varies greatly from person to person. Some people have impotence at the age of 30, while others still have sexual desire at the age of 80. Therefore, the work of reducing sexual function actually starts at the age of 30.

② The strength of male reproductive function depends to a certain extent on the number of sperm in semen. The ability to produce sperm generally decreases from the age of 40, and the volume of the testicles also decreases from the age of 50. According to a sample survey of men aged 60-70 by American scholar Jeremy, only 68.5% of them had sperm in their semen. With the increase of age, the secretion of male hormone testosterone also changes.

③ The rule is that it gradually increases during adolescence, reaches its peak at 30-40 years old, and gradually decreases after 50 years old. The decrease in sex hormone secretion causes the sexual function to gradually decline. Of course, this weakening of sexual function is not entirely due to the decrease in sex hormones. Psychological factors such as tension, anxiety, and fear also play an important role.

④In addition, excessive sexual intercourse will cause the anterior pituitary gland to lose balance in the secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone and thyroid-stimulating hormone, and these hormones play an important regulatory role in life activities. If their secretion is unbalanced, the functions of the human nervous system and other systems in the body will be affected, leading to sexual dysfunction, etc. When people enter old age, they often take various antihypertensive drugs, which is also one of the causes of impotence.
