Does long-term abstinence in men really lead to impotence? This reflects the relationship between abstinence and impotence in men. Due to factors such as marital separation, male friends have to face abstinence. But there is a viewpoint that long-term abstinence may lead to sexual dysfunction. So I further want to know and understand why long-term abstinence in men can lead to male impotence. Experts in male health care will elaborate on this issue as follows.
The probability of long-term abstinence and impotence is uncertain, and whether long-term abstinence in men will cause impotence depends first on the individual and the duration of abstinence. Long term abstinence is not good for male health and may indeed lead to impotence, which can be caused by long-term abstinence.
If a normal male abstains for a long time, it will first have a psychological impact, causing negative effects, and ultimately leading to sexual dysfunction. The human brain is the key to mastering sexual desire. As the desire gradually ferments in the brain, this stimulation will pass through the hypothalamus to the pituitary gland, causing the human body to have an impulse to engage in "sex". As a result, men will also issue an "erection" command to the penis. If one deliberately suppresses desires for a long time, the human body will develop a sense of unfamiliarity and alienation towards the above stimulation modes. Over time, it will naturally lose its lust and the penis will become sluggish or even degenerate in the absence of exercise. This is because the corpus cavernosum of the male penis is rich in smooth muscles. If there is no erection and congestion for a long time, these smooth muscles will gradually degrade, thereby affecting the congestion function of the corpus cavernosum.
In fact, spontaneous sexual desire is a natural physiological response, just like wanting to eat when you're hungry, without the need to overly suppress this instinct. Some couples may live apart for a long time or have no sexual activity for a long time, and if they rarely get together, they naturally want to have sex. The husband may experience problems such as insufficient erection hardness and rapid ejaculation. This may be due to long-term lack of sexual activity leading to sensitivity and premature ejaculation, or it may be a rare opportunity for him to experience additional tension and develop erectile dysfunction. As long as regular sexual activity is restored, these problems will naturally disappear.
