Hormone Replacement Therapy
Nine ways to improve male sexual performance
The ability to achieve and maintain an erection during sexual intimacy is the core definition of male sexual performance. Although getting an erection seems, on the surface, a straightforward accomplishment via sexual arousal, it is actually a complex response involving the brain, hormones and the circulatory system. Unless all three are functioning properly, a man can experience less than optimal sexual performance. Fortunately, men have numerous options for reversing arousal and erection issues.
9 Evidence-based Ways Men Can Improve Sexual Performance
- Get a Complete Physical Examination
Ruling out medical problems should be the first thing a man does if he begins having trouble achieving and maintaining an erection. Common reasons for erectile dysfunction include heart disease, high cholesterol, hypertension, type II diabetes, smoking and obesity. All these medical issues can be successfully treated with medications and lifestyle changes.1
- Testosterone and Male Performance
The powerful hormone testosterone regulates a man’s sexual drive, sperm production and, to a lesser extent, the ability to achieve an erection. Reduced testosterone levels in older men is frequently the cause of poor sexual performance and lack of libido. Replacing testosterone lost to aging with bioidentical hormone therapy is an effective, drug-free way to restore sex drive and enhance sexual performance.2
- Get Active!
Exercising not only improves overall health but also increases blood flow, tones muscles and offers many benefits to your circulatory system (vital to erections). Additionally, sunlight is used by the body to make vitamin D, which contributes to production of testosterone and maintaining sufficient testosterone levels.3
- Eat to Improve Sexual Performance
A man’s sexual performance solely depends on the health of their physical self and their mental self. Eating more of the following foods can help improve a man’s general well-being, contribute to brain health and increase sexual drive:4
- Oysters
- Gree leafy vegetables
- Carrots
- Salmon (high in omega-3 fatty acids)
- Turkey, chicken and other high-protein meats
- Whole grains
- Eggs (in moderation)
- Oranges and other citrus fruits
- Don’t Smoke
Smoking is one of the worst things men (and women) can do to damage their health. Men who smoke are at significant risk for having high blood pressure and cardiovascular conditions that restrict blood flow to the penis.3
- Drink Moderately or Not at All
While a glass of wine or one beer may heighten sexual desire temporarily, alcohol is a depressant that can interfere with a man’s sexual performance. Drinking too much before intimacy or being an alcohol abuser will suppress physical and mental functioning, both of which are essential for achieving and maintaining an erection.
- Take Time to De-stress
Stress will negatively affect a man’s sex drive and sexual performance by increasing levels of epinephrine and cortisol in the bloodstream. By elevating blood pressure, breathing rate and heart rate, these “stress” hormones interfere with normal blood flow throughout the body and takes your focus away from an intimate moment.
- Enjoy Lengthy Foreplay
Building up to the moment by engaging in romantic, erotic foreplay is a great way for men to improve sexual performance. Explore what you and your partner find sexually stimulating before having sexual intercourse.
- Renew Pulse for Enhancing a Man’s Sexual Performance
Renew Pulse is an ED treatment based on proven results of acoustic wave therapy for restoring blood flow and blood vessel health to penile tissues. No medication is involved with Renew Pulse treatments and results are sometimes spontaneous. After several treatment sessions, most men enjoy significant improvement in their sexual health for up to a year before additional treatment may be needed.
