The concept of "overexcitation in men" can be seen from two points of view: situational (temporary) strong sexual desire, which in the absence of implementation leads to painful sensations and constantly increased 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, is nervous, depressed. Such hypersexuality actually resembles priapism - an unreasonably painful erection that does not subside after ejaculation. The causes can be both physiological and psychogenic.
Causes and symptoms of hypersexuality
In young men, frequent sexual overexertion, up to spontaneous ejaculation, is normal due to increased testosterone levels. This is the so-called puberty hypersexuality. The main symptoms are:
- Feeling of enlargement of the genitals ("ringing egg");
- Increased sensitivity of erogenous zones;
- Intermittent fever, sweating;
- Increased urination, often accompanied by tender pain in the abdomen and lower back.
Urologists usually do not pay much attention to complaints about hypersexuality if they come from young patients. Doctors send them to a psychologist, but only if they prescribe tests for sexually transmitted infections.
Abnormal hypersexuality can be congenital (primary) or acquired. The congenital form of hypersexuality can be associated with pathologies of the central nervous system, endocrine disorders and mental disorders. The acquired form is divided into physiological and pathological. In the first case, increased sex drive may be caused by stress or high levels of testosterone in the blood.
The pathological form usually develops on the basis of organic pathologies of the central nervous system. They are provoked by:
- Neuroinfection (encephalitis, meningitis).
- Head trauma.
- Vascular lesions and brain tumors.
- Poisoning caused by the use of alcohol or drugs.
Adult hypersexuality can be caused by endocrine disorders - an excess of stress hormones or testosterone (due to hyperfunction of the testicles or adrenal cortex).
Hypersexuality of a neurotic nature develops on the basis of a feeling of self-inferiority, lack of confidence in one's male solvency. The constant desire for intercourse in this case is an unconscious attempt to prove to oneself and others that there are no problems with the intimate life.
Increased hypersexuality of a neurotic nature may occur in men of retirement age during the period of eradication of sexual function. In this case, the reason is an unconscious desire to "stay in line", to make up for what may have been missing in his youth.
The difference between normal hypersexuality and pathological
The boundary between hypersexuality caused by a strong sexual constitution and provoked by a pathological condition is arbitrary. Some men need sex every day and more than once. This is normal if the process brings joy and satisfaction, and professional, creative and social activity does not suffer (developed needs structure). In this case, we are talking about a high level of vital energy and not about pathological overexcitation.
Natural primary hypersexuality may be due to genetic traits. Men whose fathers were sexually active are more likely to follow in their footsteps.
Satyriasis is an obsessively painful need for sex that is almost impossible to get rid of. Over time, such men tend to have sexual perversion as normal relationships become too boring for them. Almost no time is given to other aspects of life. Such hypersexuality can be imaginary or manic. The latter form is much harder to correct.
Physiological symptoms of hypersexuality in adult men are similar to those of puberty:
- Prolonged erection even from a fleeting erotic image, fantasy;
- premature ejaculation;
- Pull 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 forms of activity (work, everyday life) immediately after satisfying their physiological sexual needs. Pathological hypersexuality literally makes you immediately look for the possibility of new intercourse.
Agitation and testicular pain
Pain in the testicles due to unrealized sexual arousal occurs in many men, not necessarily hypersexual. The degree of discomfort is different for everyone. The pain can be so violent that it is difficult for a man to walk. This is due to excessive blood flow to the genitals, leading to squeezing of the nerve endings. It is enough for the patient to relax or use an anesthetic or antispasmodic.
The cause of pain during overexcitation can be varicocele or genital infections, whose activity weakens the testicular tissue, disrupts their normal structure. If the symptom occurs regularly, you should consult a urologist.
If discomfort in the groin is already clearly felt with overexcitation, masturbation or sex will not bring relief. Conversely, 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 subside for several days. You can relieve discomfort with aspirin. Peppermint infusion helps to relax smooth muscles.
The only way to prevent pain is to avoid being overstimulated. If you have a date without intimacy, but sexual affection is not out of the question, then it is better to ejaculate beforehand. It sounds strange, but this option is better than back then because of the "rollback" of experiencing many hours of acute pain, which literally shuts off normal life.
Other problems with hypersexuality
Increased anxiety in men, 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.
Absurd situations often arise: sexual overexertion during foreplay (often accompanied by the release of lubricant from Cooper's glands) ends with the penis falling off during introduction or premature ejaculation, even before it.
Hypersexuality prevents you from focusing on important work issues. Such men are unable to concentrate attention, show initiative, which is why they often lose promising jobs.
How to get rid of obsessive-compulsive disorder
Treatment for hypersexuality depends on the cause. Physiological factors must be eliminated first. To do this, start with a visit to the urologist, make sure there are no pathologies in 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 only help the patient if he himself is aware of the problem and wants to get rid of it. The choice of methods depends on how rich a man's intimate life is, in what ways, in addition to sex, he can enjoy, what efforts he is ready to make for treatment. If the patient is unable to 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 haunt from morning to night. If hypersexuality is not caused by physical pathologies, you can try the following methods to reduce it:
- Take a cool shower, empty your bladder or do your daily activities. It should be remembered that morning erection is a normal phenomenon, a sign of the absence of vascular impotence.
- It is advisable to take all your free time during the day. Endurance training (moderate cardio, low weight repetitions) can help relieve sexual tension. Exercises with heavy weights, squats, work of mixing and raising the legs, on the contrary, will lead to activation of the genitals.
- Before going to bed, it is advisable to take a sedative so that psycho-emotional activity begins to subside.
You can try to cope with hypersexuality using decoction of sedative herbs or pharmaceutical herbal preparations. It is important to consider that such agents, especially valerian, only begin to work after several days of regular use (cumulative effect).
If hypersexuality is caused by alcohol or drug poisoning, the condition can not be corrected without getting rid of bad habits. You can help the body remove toxic substances by taking enterosorbents.
Conclusion
Surge, hypersexuality is much worse than decreased libido. In the latter case, many men lead a full-fledged social life, achieving success in professional activities, without paying much attention to the lack of sex. Addiction to it makes a person emotionally (and subsequently physically) disabled. True hypersexuality rarely develops. Basically, men themselves cultivate in their minds the need to engage in sexual relations. Such thoughts are implanted by a particular 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 it is to develop any kind of mental dependence.
