The concept of "overexcitation in men" can be seen from two points of view: strong situational (temporary) sexual desire, which in the absence of implementation leads to painful sensations, and constant increase in libido (satyriasis, hypersexuality). In the latter case, permanent sexual excitement does not disappear after ejaculation and significantly worsens the quality of life: the man cannot concentrate on any activity, he is nervous, depressed. This hypersexuality is actually similar to priapism - a painful, irrational erection that doesn't subside after ejaculation. The reasons can be physiological and psychogenic.
Causes and Symptoms of Hypersexuality
In young men, frequent sexual overexcitement, even spontaneous ejaculation, is normal, due to increased testosterone levels. This is called pubertal hypersexuality. The main symptoms are:
- Sensation of swelling in the genitals ("touching eggs");
- Greater sensitivity of erogenous zones;
- Intermittent fever, sweating;
- Increased urination, often accompanied by painful pain in the lower abdomen and lower back.
Urologists generally do not care much for complaints of hypersexuality if they come from young patients. Doctors refer them to a psychologist, but in case they prescribe tests for genital 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 sexual desire can be caused by stress or high levels of testosterone in the blood.
The pathological form, as a rule, develops in the context of organic pathologies of the central nervous system. They are caused by:
- Neuroinfection (encephalitis, meningitis).
- Head trauma.
- Vascular lesions and brain tumors.
- Intoxication caused by the use of alcohol or drugs.
Hypersexuality in adulthood can be caused by endocrine disturbances - an excess of stress hormones or testosterone (due to hyperfunction of the testes or adrenal cortex).
Hypersexuality of a neurotic nature develops on the basis of a person's feeling of inferiority, a lack of confidence in male solvency. The constant desire for intercourse, in this case, is an unconscious attempt to prove to yourself and others that there is no problem with intimate life.
Increased hypersexuality of a neurotic nature may occur in men of retirement age during the period of extinction of sexual function. In this case, the reason is a subconscious desire to "stay in the hierarchy" to make up for what you may have lacked in your youth.
The difference between normal and pathological hypersexuality
The boundary between hypersexuality caused by a strong sexual constitution and caused by a pathological condition is arbitrary. Some men need sex every day and more than once. It is normal that the process brings pleasure and satisfaction, and professional, creative and social activity does not suffer (developed needs structure). In this case, we can speak of a high level of vital energy rather than pathological overexcitement.
Natural primary hypersexuality may be due to genetic characteristics. Men whose parents were sexually active are more likely to follow in their footsteps.
Satyriasis is an obsessive and painful urge for sex that is almost impossible to get rid of. Over time, these men tend toward sexual perversion, as normal relationships become too bland for them. Almost no time is devoted to other aspects of life. This hypersexuality can be imaginary or manic. The last form is much harder to fix.
The physiological symptoms of hypersexuality in adult men are similar to those of puberty:
- Prolonged erection, even from a fleeting erotic image, fantasy;
- Premature ejaculation;
- Pulling sensations in the lower abdomen.
A significant difference between the pathology and the norm is that men with a strong sexual constitution are able to quickly switch to other types of activity (work, everyday life) immediately after satisfying their physiological sexual need. Pathological hypersexuality makes you literally immediately look for the possibility of a new sexual relationship.
Agitation and testicular pain
Testicular pain due to unfulfilled sexual arousal occurs in many men, not necessarily hypersexual. The degree of discomfort is different for each person. The pain can be so severe that it is difficult for a man to walk. This is due to excessive blood flow to the genitals, which leads to pinching 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, disturbs its normal structure. If the symptom appears regularly, you should see a urologist.
If, with overexcitement, the discomfort in the groin is already clearly felt, then masturbation or sex will not bring relief. Orgasm, on the other hand, 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 overstimulation. If you have a date without intimacy, but sexual affection is not excluded, then it is better to ejaculate in advance. It sounds strange, but this option is better than before, because of the "backward" to experiencing many hours of acute pain, which literally cuts you off from normal life.
Other hypersexuality problems
Increased anxiety in men and the inability to control the degree of sexual desire can become a serious problem. At any provocation, including in a public place, an erection occurs, which can be difficult to hide.
Absurd situations often arise: sexual overexcitement during foreplay (often accompanied by the release of lubricant from Cooper's glands) ends up with the penis falling out during introduction or premature ejaculation, even before it.
Hypersexuality keeps you from focusing on important work issues. These men cannot focus attention, show initiative, which is why they often lose promising jobs.
How to get rid of obsessive hypersexuality
The treatment of hypersexuality depends on the cause. Physiological factors need to be eliminated first. For this, you should start with an appointment with the urologist, check that there are no pathologies of the reproductive system, check the level of hormones. A neuropathologist (neurologist) will help identify problems in the brain and spinal cord.
Psychogenic hypersexuality is treated by sexologist psychologists. You can only help the patient if he or she 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 cannot concentrate and interact with a psychologist, hypnosis is used. In addition to psychotherapeutic methods, if necessary, antidepressants, sedatives and hypnotics are prescribed.
what to do at home
Sexual excitement 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 cold shower, empty your bladder, or go about your daily activities. It must be remembered that morning erection is a normal phenomenon, a sign of the absence of vascular impotence.
- It is advisable to use all your free time during the day. Resistance training (moderate cardio, low weight reps) can help relieve sexual tension. Exercising with heavy weights, squats, moving and lifting the legs, on the contrary, will lead to activation of Organs genitals.
- Before going to bed, it is advisable to take a sedative so that the psycho-emotional activity starts to slow down.
You can try to deal with hypersexuality with the help of decoctions of sedative herbs or pharmaceutical herbal preparations. It is important to consider that such funds, in particular valerian, start to work only after several days of regular use (cumulative effect).
If hypersexuality is caused by alcohol or drug intoxication, then without getting rid of bad habits, the condition cannot be corrected. You can help the body remove toxic substances by taking enterosorbents.
Conclusion
Excessive arousal, hypersexuality is much worse than decreased libido. In the latter case, many men lead a full social life, achieve success in professional activities, not paying much attention to the lack of sex. Dependence on this makes the person emotionally (and subsequently physically) disabled. True hypersexuality rarely develops. Basically, men themselves cultivate in their minds the need to establish sexual relationships. Such thoughts are implanted by a certain information environment, environment. Experts believe that the higher a person's level of intellectual development, as well as the degree of employment, the less likely they are to develop any kind of mental addiction.
