Male Sexual - Erection - Part II

I have five rules on male sexual function that can serve as simple indicators of the health of your sex life.

These rules indicates if you have healthy androgen levels (and other hormones like oestradiol, human growth hormone (HGH), gonadotrophins, prolactin, oxytocin, melanocyte-stimulating hormone, pheromones, and precursor hormone like pregnenolone that all influence male sexuality and sexual function in some way): healthy levels of nitric oxide (the messenger molecule necessary for vasodilation – to dilate the coronary arteries for healthy heart function, and the penile vessels for a good erection, among others): a healthy heart and lungs: good stamina: and sufficient qi (life-force)

Rule number one:
If you are not thinking of sex everyday, you don’t have enough androgens (and some of the other hormones mentioned above) to produce a healthy sex drive (libido)

Thinking of sex daily (but not all the time) does not meant having sex everyday.

In humans, the biological urge to have sex is modulated by many other factors like religious and moral issues, and work.

In contrast, for example, the lion can do ‘it’ up to 50 times a day without bothering who is watching!

Rule number two:
If you not having erections at least twice daily (a spontaneous one in the morning and at least once again in the day due to a sexual urge) you don’t have enough androgens (plus possibly several other hormone) and nitric oxide.

Spontaneous early morning erection are due to surges in testosterone levels, and are regular in healthy boys and young men.

Unfortunately, due to poor health and low androgen levels, many men stop having spontaneous morning erections after reaching 40. Their ability to achieve erections at other times also declines.

If you are really healthy, you will still have spontaneous erections even beyond 60.

Rule number three:
If you are not having sex at least three times a week, you are not having enough sex!

Of course, many out there may disagree with me, but I am just indicating what those who are fit and healthy, and have optimum hormone levels, are enjoying.

Many couple have resigned themselves to having minimal sex because they fail to seek proper medical advice to recover their lost libido and sexual ability.

They tell people they are living happily with little or no sex, when in fact, they wish it was otherwise.

They should not continue fooling themselves, when (in most cases) their condition can be easily improved or reversed.

Rules number four:
If your erection is not grade 4 on the Erection Hardness Score (EHS, see the list below) you are unhealthy, and lack androgens, HGH (and possibly other hormones too) and nitric oxide.

The EHS grades are based on a scale of one to four:

Grade 1 : Penis is large, but not hard

Grade 2 : Penis is hard, but not hard enough for penetration

Grade 3 : Penis is hard enough for penetration, but not completely hard

Grade 4 : Penis is completely hard and fully rigid

Erection hardness and duration correlate with sexual satisfaction, self-esteem and confidence.

They also correlate with hormonal and cardiovascular health, and qi

Obesity and statin drug therapy (to reduce high cholesterol) are also associated with poor erection.

While a woman may achieve climax through non-penetration sex, a man’s climax is achieve through ejaculation, which is impossible without a good erection (necessary even for masturbation)

However, premature ejaculation (ejaculating too early, before there is sufficient pleasure) leads to frustration instead.

The penis invariably becomes limp after orgasm. The refractory period (time lapse before erection is possible again) varies between minutes for healthy young men, to hours and days for unhealthy older men.

Achieving Grade 4 is easy for qigong masters who practice hard qigong

Through qigong exercises, we are able to achieve and sustain completely rigid erections. You may have read reports of some qigong masters carrying weights or even pulling trucks using their penis.

Sexual energy is qi

One of the signs of having enough qi is the ability to sustain solid erection for long durations.

Qigong masters can also have multiple orgasms, with zero or minimal refractory period.

Rule number five:
If your Grade 4 erection – don’t bother about this rule if you don’t even achieve Grade 4 – cannot be sustained for at least five minutes, then you are still not sexually fit.

And you should also produce above five milliliters of ejaculate to have a really good orgasm (two to six milliliters is considered normal).

The volume of ejaculate is corrected with sexual satisfaction.

However, as much of the ejaculate is seminal fluid (the sperm makes up only about 10% of the volume), even those who have undergone a vasectomy (where the sperm is blocked from entering the seminal fluid) ca still enjoy good orgasms.

Get yourself checked
It is desirable for the sex act, including foreplay, to continue for some to achieve sufficient pleasure.

Healthy young men may continue the sex act for much longer, but after 40, most men slow down, especially if they are unhealthy or unfit.

By age 50, very few can still sustain rigid erection for more than five minutes, unless of course, they use Viagra or its clones. And when they ejaculate, they only produce a few drops!

Surveys in many countries show that about 45% of men above 40 years old have some degree of erectile dysfunction (ED – the inability to achieve a good erection).

The percentages are higher with the older age groups, and in diabetics.

About 10 years ago, it was reported that Malaysians had the worlds highest per capita consumption of Viagra, which tells us tat our men ‘tak boleh’ (cannot) although they always shout ‘Malaysia Boleh’ (Malaysia can!)

We are indeed an unhealthy lot. The latest report show that the rates of hypertension obesity and diabetes are steadily rising.

It also means that the rate of ED must be rising, although this was not surveyed.

If this is not addressed, there will be many frustrated men (old and no-so-old) and their frustrated partner among us.

And the sale of Viagra and related drugs will continue to boom.

If you fail on the above rules, you should consider getting medical advice to have your cardiovascular fitness and sex hormone levels checked.

To achieve full mark, you need to be physically healthy and fit, have optimum hormone levels, and have the ability to produce sufficient nitric oxide.

I know there are many men out there who are plodding along feeling tired on most days, have poor libido and even poorer erections, and are frustrated with their sex lives.

I hope reading this article will make them realize that such a situation is not normal, and that they can, and should, do something about it.

If your partner is one of them, talk to your doctor.

In the meantime, remember, good sex means good health. For those men who are fit and healthy with optimum androgens, there is no andropause, only Men-no-Pause!

Till then, I am glad to find this book and happy to share this with you'll.... especially we're a men, and they judge us from our performance.... so, be ready my friends.... 'happy sunday'
