Hypersexuality in men - where is the norm and where is the disorder

The concept of "excessive harassment in men" can be viewed from two perspectives: strong situational (temporary) sexual desire, which in the absence of implementation leads to painful sensations, and ever-increasing libido (satiriasis, hypersexuality). In the latter case, permanent sexual arousal does not go away after ejaculation and significantly worsens the quality of life: the male is unable to concentrate on any activity, is nervous, depressed. Such hypersexuality, in fact, is similar to priapism - an unreasonably painful erection that does not subside after ejaculation. The reasons can be physiological and psychogenic.

Causes and symptoms of hypersexuality

In young people, frequent sexual harassment, 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 ("egg ringing");
  • Increased sensitivity of erogenous zones;
  • Periodic fever, sweating;
  • Increased urination, often accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen and lower back.

Urologists usually do not pay much attention to complaints of hypersexuality if they come from young patients. Doctors send them to a psychologist, but only if they prescribe tests for genital infections.

Abnormal hypersexuality can be congenital (primary) or acquired. The congenital form of hypersexuality can be associated with central nervous system pathology, endocrine disorders, and mental disorders. The acquired form is divided into physiological and pathological. In the first case, the increase in sexual desire can be caused by stress or high testosterone levels 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:

  1. Neuroinfection (encephalitis, meningitis).
  2. Head trauma.
  3. Vascular lesions and brain tumors.
  4. 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 one's sense of inferiority, lack of confidence in male solvency. The constant desire for sex 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 disappearance of sexual function. In this case, the reason is a subconscious desire to "stay in the ranks", to make up for what he may have lacked in his youth.

The difference between normal and pathological hypersexuality

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. It is normal if the process brings pleasure and satisfaction and does not suffer from professional, creative and social activity (developed structure of needs). In this case, we can talk about a high level of vital energy, and not pathological bullying.

Primary natural hypersexuality may be due to genetic characteristics. Men whose fathers were sexually active are more likely to follow in their footsteps.

Satire is a painful obsessive need for sex that is almost impossible to get rid of. Over time, such men tend toward sexual perversion, as normal relationships become very inaccurate 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.

The physiological symptoms of hypersexuality in adult males are similar to those of puberty:

  • Prolonged erection even from a transient erotic image, fantasy;
  • premature ejaculation;
  • Attractive sensations in the lower abdomen.

A significant difference between pathology and norm is that men with a strong sexual structure are able to quickly switch to other types of activity (work, daily life) as soon as they meet their physiological sexual need. Pathological hypersexuality makes you literally immediately look for the possibility of a new sexual relationship.

Agitation and testicular pain

Pain in the testicles due to unrealized sexual arousal occurs in many men, not necessarily hypersexual. The degree of concern is different for everyone. The pain can be so severe that a man finds it difficult to walk. This is due to excessive blood flow to the genitals, which leads to tightening of the nerve endings. It is enough for the patient to relax, or use an anesthetic or antispasmodic agent.

The cause of pain during overuse can be varicocele or genital infections, the activity of which weakens the testicular tissue, disrupts their normal structure. If symptoms occur regularly, you should consult a urologist.

If, with excessive arousal, the discomfort in the groin is already clearly felt, then masturbation or sex will not bring relief. Conversely, orgasm can be vague and ejaculation can be very painful. The pain will be felt for about two more hours and in some men it will not go away for a few days. You can alleviate the discomfort with aspirin. Mint infusion will help 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. Sounds weird, but this option is better than then because of the "return" to experience many hours of acute pain, which literally goes out of normal life.

Other hypersexuality problems

Increased anxiety in men, inability to control the degree of sexual desire can become a serious problem. With every provocation, involving in a public place, an erection occurs, which can be difficult to hide.

Absurd situations often arise: excessive sexual arousal during foreplay (often accompanied by the release of lubricant from the Cooper glands) ends with the penis drooping during insertion or premature ejaculation even before it.

Hypersexuality prevents you from focusing on important work issues. Such men are not able to focus attention, show initiative, that is why they often lose promising jobs.

How to get rid of obsessive hypersexuality

Treatment for hypersexuality depends on the cause. Physiological factors must first be eliminated. To do this, you need to start with a visit to the urologist, make sure there is no pathology of the reproductive system, check hormone levels. A neuropathologist (neurologist) will help identify problems with the brain and spinal cord.

Psychogenic hypersexuality is acquired 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 willing 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 follow from morning to evening. If hypersexuality is not caused by physical pathology, then you can try the following methods to reduce it:

  1. Taking a fresh shower, emptying the bladder or doing your daily activities. It should be remembered that morning erection is a normal phenomenon, a sign of lack of vascular impotence.
  2. It is advisable to spend all your free time during the day. Endurance training (moderate cardio, low weight repetition) can help relieve sexual tension. Heavy weight exercises, squats, work on mixing and lifting the legs, on the contrary, will lead to activation of the genitals.
  3. Before going to bed, it is advisable to take a sedative so that psycho-emotional activity starts to slow down.

You can try to deal with hypersexuality with the help of decoctions of sedatives or herbal medicines. It is important to note that such funds, in particular valerian, begin to function only after a few days of regular use (cumulative effect).

If hypersexuality is provoked by intoxication with alcohol or drugs, then without getting rid of bad habits, the condition can not be corrected. You can help the body get rid of toxic substances by taking enterosorbents.

Conclusion

Over-excitement, hypersexuality is much worse than decreased sexual desire. 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. Addiction to it makes a person emotionally (and then physically) incompetent. True hypersexuality rarely develops. Basically, men themselves cultivate in their minds the need to have sex. Such thoughts are implanted by a certain information environment, the environment. Experts believe that the higher the intellectual level of development as well as the employment rate of a person, the less likely he is to develop any kind of mental dependence.
