Since ancient times, there has been a search for ways that can help a man. I drank the potion of love and, please, appeared before the woman with full strength and readiness. Such funds are called "aphrodisiacs". Despite centuries of research, most of these drugs are either tonics, such as ginseng and vitamins, or energizing, such as coffee and chocolate, or just amulets, acting purely psychologically. The only effective remedy is the bark of the African yohimbe tree.
No wonder they say that the largest sexual organ is in our heads. It is the brain that is responsible for all manifestations of the human sexual sphere: it creates an emotional atmosphere, the need for sexual intercourse, attraction to the opposite sex, and gives a reaction that realizes this attraction.
In the language of science, attraction to the opposite sex is called libido. Against the background of libido, erotic pictures in combination with the irritation of the corresponding zone cause the pleasure of the genital center in the brain. As a result, nerve impulses flow from this center to various organs and make the heart beat, and breathing becomes faster. Blood pressure rises. Under the guidance of the central spinal cord, the penis fills with blood, increases and tenses many times (4-10 times). This is how an erection happens. Emotional stimulation and activation of the glans penis leads to contraction of the seminal vesicles and the release of sperm - ejaculation and orgasm. Disruption of the coordinated work of any of these links can lead to sexual dysfunction, particularly loss of ability to erect.
Why is it difficult to influence penis behavior? After all, a person usually controls his body well: even with his eyes closed and in zero gravity, his hands and feet are completely subject to will. But the point is that we can only rule the muscles attached to the bones. But there are other muscles that are beyond our control. They are located in the walls of internal organs and blood vessels. The penis is under the control of such muscles, and therefore almost does not depend on the will of its owner.
However, his behavior is determined by nerve impulses. The nervous regulatory system resembles telegraphic communication. At the command post, the "command" appears in the form of an electrical signal that runs along the wire - the nerve. At the end of the wire a "telegraph operator" sits, translating the current impulse into a message, which is sent to the organ. This order is the substance that causes muscles to contract and relax.
Inside the penis there are two bodies called caves. Muscles pass through the walls of the "cave", thanks to which they can change their volume. Under normal, "flabby" conditions, the muscles of the corpora cavernosa and the muscles of the small arteries of the penis are in a state of weak contraction-tone. A small amount of blood is always circulating in it, but this is not enough to give the penis elasticity.
The situation changes completely with sexual stimulation. The genitals receive strong impulses that cause the relaxation of muscle fibers in the walls of the arteries and the cavernous body of the penis. As a result, the penis and corpus cavernosum are filled with arterial blood, increasing in size - an erection occurs.
When sexual stimulation falls, the muscles in the cavernous body contract and squeeze blood out of them, like water from a sponge - the end of an erection.
The substance that tells muscles to relax is called acetylcholine. It is quickly destroyed by special enzymes. When mice are injected with a substance that suspends the action of this enzyme, they mate for hours. However, this substance does not act selectively.
American scientists have proposed another solution to this problem. In 1998, they were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for the discovery of a special chemical link between acetylcholine and muscle. It is nitric oxide, which provides the formation of substances that lead to relaxation of the muscles of the corpora cavernosa and erection. Now pharmacologists can control this process.
At what age does an erection appear and when does it usually disappear?
The first physiological erections occur in boys as early as 5–6 years of age and are not associated with erotic experiences. Then erections become more frequent, and during puberty they already arise as a manifestation of attraction to the opposite sex. The maximum capacity for an erection in a man is about 20 years, then it gradually decreases, but it completely disappears for everyone in time-for someone it lasts up to 90 years, for someone it disappears even after 40 years.
What disease causes loss of ability to erect?
First of all, alcoholism, because in large doses alcohol has a detrimental effect on the ability to erect. The same goes for drugs, especially cocaine, ecstasy, phenamine: they increase potency for a short time, but literally after a few tricks "turn off". Reduces potency and prostatitis, and diabetes mellitus, and some hormonal diseases, as well as vascular sclerosis, especially of the lower extremities. The same thing happens if, without a doctor’s advice, they start taking male sex hormones - their excess acts in the opposite way. Depression, anxiety, and the anticipation of some problems also have adverse effects.
When does erectile dysfunction occur?
In young people, erections during first intercourse are often damaged as a result of excessive stimulation. The more a young man desires intimacy, the harder it is to get an erection. And here the behavior of a wise woman is very important - after all, sometimes the reason is in herself, in the fact that she said or did something wrong. If something does not work with repeated contact, pathology can be suspected. In general, a certain woman is less meaningful to a man at age 20, but the older she is, the more important her personality is to her.
How does the intensity of sexual activity affect erections?
Any deviation from the norm, both surplus and deficiency, has adverse effects. It is known that long rest - a few months - reduces erections. There are also things like "sailor impotence. " On the other hand, 7-8 intercourse per week can also reduce potency.
What can be considered the norm of sex life?
Each one, of course, has its own. But on average, for married men, this is 2-3 intercourse per week. The minimum and usual frequency is once every two weeks.
Is the ability to conceive associated with an erection?
Not at all. In a man, the peak of sex hormone production is reached at the age of 30, and the potential at this time is already reduced, albeit gradually. The ability to conceive lasts longer. Although, if infertility is associated with a lack of sex hormones, erections may also be reduced.
How does physical activity affect?
Moderate physical activity increases potency, excessive exercise reduces it. And it's not just fatigue that is to blame. Building strong muscles "takes" a lot of sex hormones, as a result, the potential is reduced. This should be kept in mind for those who love bodybuilding.
How to increase potential: folk recipes for increasing potential

Alcohol and tobacco also have negative effects on potency. Smoking leads to vasoconstriction, and this is fraught with a decrease in blood supply to the genitals.
If some stressful situation affects the decrease in potency, then there is only one recipe - to give the body a chance to rest (even from sex), to relax:
- light massage;
- yoga classes - special exercises that activate blood circulation in the pelvic and genital areas;
- fragrant bath.
