The concept of "overexcitement in men" can be viewed from two points of view: a strong situational (temporary) sexual desire, which in the absence of implementation leads to painful sensations, and a constant increase in libido (satiriasis, hypersexuality). In the latter case, permanent sexual arousal does not disappear after ejaculation and significantly worsens the quality of life: the man is unable to concentrate on any activity, he is nervous, depressed. Such hypersexuality, in fact, is similar to priapism, an unreasonable painful erection that does not go away after ejaculation. The reasons can be both physiological and psychogenic.
Causes and symptoms of hypersexuality.
In young men, frequent sexual arousal, up to spontaneous ejaculation, is normal due to increased testosterone levels. This is the so-called pubertal hypersexuality. The main symptoms are:
- Sensation of enlargement of the genitals ("buzzing of eggs");
- Greater sensitivity of the erogenous zones;
- Intermittent fever, sweating;
- Increased urination, often accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen and lower back.
Urologists generally do not give much thought to hypersexual complaints if they come from young patients. Doctors send them to a psychologist, but just in case they prescribe tests for genital infections.
Abnormal hypersexuality can be congenital (primary) or acquired. The congenital form of hypersexuality can 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, increased sexual desire may be due to stress or high levels of testosterone in the blood.
The pathological form, as a rule, develops against the background of organic pathologies of the central nervous system. They are caused by:
- Neuroinfection (encephalitis, meningitis).
- Head trauma
- Vascular lesions and brain tumors.
- Intoxication caused by the use of alcohol or drugs.
Hypersexuality in adulthood can be caused by endocrine disorders - an excess of stress hormones or testosterone (due to hyperfunction of the testes or adrenal cortex).
Hypersexuality of a neurotic nature develops on the basis of a feeling of self-inferiority, a lack of confidence in male solvency. The constant desire to have sex in this case is an unconscious attempt to prove to yourself and others that there are no problems with intimate life.
Increased hypersexuality of a neurotic nature can occur in men of retirement age during the period of extinction of sexual function. In this case, the reason is a subconscious desire to "stay in the ranks", to make up for what may have been lacking in his youth.
The difference between normal and pathological hypersexuality.
The boundary between hypersexuality caused by a strong sexual constitution and that caused by a pathological condition is arbitrary. Some men need to have sex every day and more than once. It is normal if the process brings pleasure and satisfaction, and professional, creative and social activity does not suffer (developed structure of needs). In this case, we can speak of a high level of vital energy, and not of pathological overexcitement.
Natural primary hypersexuality may be due to genetic characteristics. Men whose fathers were sexually active are more likely to follow suit.
Satiriasis is an obsessive and painful need to have sex that is almost impossible to get rid of. Over time, these men tend towards sexual perversion, as normal relationships become too bland for them. Little time is spent on other aspects of life. Such hypersexuality can be imaginary or manic. The last form 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;
- Pulling sensations in the lower abdomen.
A significant difference between pathology and the norm is that men with a strong sexual constitution can quickly switch to other types of activity (work, everyday life) immediately after satisfying their physiological sexual need. Pathological hypersexuality makes you literally immediately look for the possibility of a new sexual relationship.
Testicular agitation and pain
Pain in the testicles due to unrealized sexual arousal occurs in many men, not necessarily hypersexual. The degree of discomfort is different for each person. The pain can be so severe that it is difficult for a man to walk. This is due to excessive blood flow to the genitals, causing pinching of the nerve endings. It is sufficient for the patient to relax, or to use an anesthetic or antispasmodic agent.
The cause of pain during overexcitement can be varicocele or genital infections, the activity of which weakens the testicular tissue and alters its normal structure. If the symptom appears regularly, you should consult a urologist.
If, with overexcitement, groin discomfort is already clearly felt, masturbation or sex will not bring relief. On the contrary, orgasm can be blurry and ejaculation can be very painful. The pain will be felt for about two more hours and, in some men, it will not go away for several days. You can ease the discomfort with aspirin. The mint infusion will help relax smooth muscles.
The only way to prevent pain is to avoid overstimulation. If you are on a date without intimacy, but sexual affection is not excluded, then it is better to ejaculate in advance. It sounds strange, but this option is better than then due to the "flashback" to experience many hours of acute pain, which literally takes away from normal life.
Other hypersexual problems
Increased anxiety in men, the inability to control the degree of sexual desire can become a serious problem. With any provocation, even in a public place, an erection occurs, which can be difficult to hide.
Often absurd situations arise: sexual overexcitement during foreplay (often accompanied by the release of lubricant from Cooper's glands) ends with drooping of the penis during insertion or premature ejaculation even earlier.
Hypersexuality keeps you from concentrating on important work issues. Such men cannot concentrate attention, show initiative, so they often lose promising jobs.
How to get rid of obsessive hypersexuality
Treatment of hypersexuality depends on the cause. Physiological factors must first be eliminated. To do this, you need to start with a visit to the urologist, make sure that there are no pathologies of the reproductive system, check the level of hormones. A neuropathologist (neurologist) will help identify problems with the brain and spinal cord.
Psychogenic hypersexuality is treated by psychologists-sexologists. You can help the patient only if he himself is aware of the problem and wants to get rid of it. The choice of methods depends on how rich the intimate life of a man is, in what ways, in addition to sex, he can enjoy himself, what efforts he is willing to make for treatment. If the patient cannot concentrate and interact with a psychologist, hypnosis is used. In parallel with psychotherapeutic methods, if necessary, antidepressants, sedatives and hypnotics are prescribed.
What to do at home
Sexual arousal can lurk from morning to night. If hypersexuality is not caused by physical pathologies, you can try the following methods to reduce it:
- Take a cold shower, empty your bladder, or go about your daily activities. It must be remembered that the morning erection is a normal phenomenon, a sign of the absence of vascular impotence.
- It is recommended that you take advantage of all your free time during the day. Resistance training (moderate cardio, low-weight reps) can help relieve sexual tension. Exercises with heavy weights, squats, work of mixing and lifting the legs, on the contrary, will lead to the activation of the genitals.
- Before going to bed, it is advisable to take a sedative so that psycho-emotional activity begins to slow down.
You can try to cope with hypersexuality with the help of sedative herbal decoctions or herbal pharmaceutical preparations. It is important to note that such funds, in particular valerian, begin to work only after several days of regular use (cumulative effect).
If hypersexuality is caused by alcohol or drug intoxication, then without getting rid of bad habits, the condition cannot be corrected. You can help the body eliminate toxic substances by taking enterosorbents.
conclusion
Overexcitement, hypersexuality is much worse than low libido. In the latter case, many men lead a full-fledged social life, achieve success in professional activities, without paying much attention to the lack of sex. Dependence on it makes a person emotionally (and later physically) disabled. True hypersexuality rarely develops. Basically, the same men cultivate in their minds the need for sexual intercourse. Such thoughts are implanted by a certain information environment, environment. Experts believe that the higher the level of intellectual development, as well as the degree of employment of a person, the less likely they are to develop some type of mental addiction.
