The concept of "overexcitation in men" can be viewed 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 go away after ejaculation and significantly worsens the quality of life: the man is unable to concentrate on any activity, is nervous, depressed. Such hypersexuality, in fact, is similar to priapism - an unreasonable painful erection that does not subside after ejaculation. The reasons can be both physiological and psychogenic.
Causes and symptoms of hypersexuality
In young men, frequent sexual overexcitation, up to spontaneous ejaculation, is normal, due to increased testosterone levels. This is the so-called pubertal hypersexuality. The main symptoms are:
- Feeling of enlargement of the genitals ("ringing eggs");
- Increased sensitivity of erogenous zones;
- Intermittent fever, sweating;
- Increased urination, often accompanied by aching pain in the lower abdomen and lower back.
Urologists usually do not attach much importance to complaints of hypersexuality if they come from young patients. Doctors send them to a psychologist, but just 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 sex drive can be caused by stress or high levels of testosterone in the blood.
The pathological form, as a rule, develops against the background of organic pathologies of the central nervous system. They are provoked 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 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 one's own inferiority, a lack of confidence in one's male solvency. The constant desire for sexual intercourse in this case is an unconscious attempt to prove to oneself and others that there are no problems with intimate life.
Increased hypersexuality of a neurotic nature can 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 ranks", to make up for what may have been lacking in his youth.
The difference between normal hypersexuality and pathological
The borderline 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. It is normal if the process brings pleasure and satisfaction, and professional, creative and social activity does not suffer (developed structure of needs). In this case, we can talk about a high level of vital energy, and not about pathological overexcitation.
Natural primary hypersexuality may be due to genetic characteristics. Men whose fathers were sexually active are more likely to follow in their footsteps.
Satyriasis is an obsessive painful need for sex that is almost impossible to get rid of. Over time, such men tend to sexual perversion, since normal relationships become too insipid for them. Almost no time is given to other aspects of life. Such hypersexuality can be imaginary or manic. The latter form is much more difficult 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;
- Pulling sensations in the lower abdomen.
A significant difference between 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 new sexual 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 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 to use an anesthetic or antispasmodic agent.
The cause of pain during overexcitation can be varicocele or genital infections, the activity of which weakens the testicular tissue, disrupts their normal structure. If the symptom appears regularly, you should consult a urologist.
If, with overexcitation, discomfort in the groin is already clearly felt, then 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 will help 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 excluded, then it is better to ejaculate in advance. It sounds strange, but this option is better than then because of the "rollback" to experience many hours of acute pain, which literally turns off from normal life.
Other problems of hypersexuality
Increased anxiety in men, the inability to control the degree of sexual desire can become a serious problem. With any provocation, including in a public place, an erection occurs, which can be difficult to hide.
Often absurd situations arise: sexual overexcitement during foreplay (often accompanied by the release of lubricant from the Cooper's glands) ends with the penis falling off during the introduction or premature ejaculation even before it.
Hypersexuality prevents you from focusing on important work issues. Such men are not able to concentrate attention, show initiative, which is why they often lose promising jobs.
How to get rid of obsessive hypersexuality
Treatment for hypersexuality depends on the cause. Physiological factors need to be eliminated first. To do this, you should start with a visit to the urologist, make sure that there are no pathologies of the reproductive system, check the level of hormones. A neuropathologist (neurologist) will help identify problems with the brain and spinal cord.
Psychogenic hypersexuality is dealt with by psychologists-sexologists. You can help the patient only if he himself is aware of the problem and wants to get rid of it. The choice of methods depends on how rich the intimate life of a man is, in what ways, besides 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 excitement can haunt from morning to evening. If hypersexuality is not caused by physical pathologies, then you can try the following methods to reduce it:
- Taking a cool shower, emptying your bladder, or doing 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 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 on mixing and raising the legs, on the contrary, will lead to the activation of the genitals.
- Before going to bed, it is advisable to take a sedative so that psycho-emotional activity begins to slow down.
You can try to cope 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, begin to work only after several days of regular use (cumulative effect).
If hypersexuality is provoked by alcohol or drug intoxication, then without getting rid of bad habits, the condition cannot be corrected. You can help the body with the removal of toxic substances by taking enterosorbents.
Conclusion
Overexcitement, hypersexuality is much worse than decreased libido. In the latter case, many men lead a full-fledged social life, achieve success in professional activities, not paying much attention to the lack of sex. Dependence on it makes a person emotionally (and subsequently physically) disabled. True hypersexuality rarely develops. Basically, men themselves cultivate in their minds the need to enter into sexual relations. Such thoughts are implanted by a certain information environment, environment. Experts believe that the higher the intellectual level of development, as well as the degree of employment of a person, the less likely it is to develop any kind of mental addiction.
