The concept of "overexcitability in men" can be viewed from two points of view: situational (temporary) strong sexual desire, which if not applied causes 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, nervous, depressed. Such hypersexuality is, in fact, similar to priapism - unreasonably painful erections that do not subside after ejaculation. The reasons can be physiological and psychogenic.
Causes and symptoms of hypersexuality
In young men, excessive sexual stimulation, up to spontaneous ejaculation, is normal, due to increased testosterone levels. This is called pubertal hypersexuality. The main symptoms are:
- A feeling of enlargement of the genitals ("egg ringing");
- Increased sensitivity of erogenous zones;
- intermittent fever, sweating;
- Increased urination, often accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen and lower back.
Urologists are usually less concerned with complaints of hypersexuality if they come from young patients. Doctors send them to psychologists, but just in case they prescribe tests for genital infections.
Abnormal hypersexuality can be congenital (primary) or acquired. Congenital forms of hypersexuality can be associated with pathologies of the central nervous system, endocrine disorders and mental disorders. The forms obtained are 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.
- Poisoning 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 testes or adrenal cortex).
Neurotic hypersexuality develops on the basis of feelings of inferiority, lack of belief in 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.
An increase in neurotic hypersexuality may occur in men of retirement age during periods of sexual function extinction. In this case, the reason is a subconscious desire to "stay in line", to make up for what may have been lacking in his youth.
Difference between normal and pathological hypersexuality
The line between hypersexuality caused by a strong sexual constitution and triggered by pathological conditions is arbitrary. Some men need sex every day and more than once. It is natural that the process brings pleasure and satisfaction, and professional, creative, and social activities are not disturbed (evolving structure of needs). In this case, we can talk about a high level of vital energy, and not about pathological over-excitation.
Natural primary hypersexuality may be due to genetic characteristics. Men whose fathers were sexually active were 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 are prone to sexual perversions, because normal relationships become too tasteless 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 fleeting erotic images, fantasy;
- Premature ejaculation;
- A pulling sensation in the lower abdomen.
A significant difference between pathology and norm is that men with a strong sexual constitution can quickly switch to another type of activity (work, daily life) immediately after satisfying their physiological sexual needs. Pathological hypersexuality makes you really immediately seek out new sexual possibilities.
Testicular agitation and pain
Pain in the testicles due to unconscious sexual arousal occurs in many men, not necessarily hypersexual. The level 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 causes pinched nerve endings. It is enough for the patient to relax, or to use anesthetic or antispasmodic agents.
The cause of pain during overexcitation can be a varicocele or a genital infection, the activity of which weakens the testicular tissue, disrupting its normal structure. If the symptoms appear regularly, you should consult a urologist.
If, with excessive excitation, discomfort in the groin is clearly felt, then masturbation or sex will not bring relief. On the other hand, orgasm can be blurry and ejaculation can be very painful. The pain will last for about two more hours, and in some men it won't subside for a few days. You can relieve discomfort with aspirin. Peppermint infusion will help relax smooth muscles.
The only way to prevent pain is to avoid overstimulation. If you are dating without intimacy, but sexual affection is not excluded, then it is better to ejaculate first. It sounds weird, but this option is better than that because it's a "rewind" to experiencing hours of acute, truly lethal pain from a normal life.
Another problem with hypersexuality
Increased anxiety in men, the inability to control the degree of sexual desire can be a serious problem. With any provocation, including in public places, an erection occurs, which can be difficult to hide.
Often unreasonable situations arise: excessive sexual arousal during foreplay (often accompanied by the release of lubricant from Cooper's glands) ends with the penis falling during introduction or premature ejaculation even before that.
Hypersexuality prevents you from focusing on important work issues. Such men are unable to focus, show initiative, which is why they often miss out on 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 need to start with a visit to a urologist, make sure that there are no pathologies in the reproductive system, check the level of hormones. A neurologist (neurologist) will help identify problems with the brain and spinal cord.
Psychogenic hypersexuality is treated by a sexologist-psychologist. You can help the patient only if he himself knows the problem and wants to get rid of it. The choice of method depends on how rich a man's intimate life 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 psychotherapy methods, if necessary, antidepressants, sedatives and hypnotics are prescribed.
What to do at home?
Sexual arousal can haunt from morning to evening. If hypersexuality is not caused by physical pathologies, then you can try the following methods to reduce it:
- Take a cold shower, empty your bladder, or do other daily activities. It should be remembered that morning erections are a normal phenomenon, a sign of the absence of vascular impotence.
- It is advisable to take all your free time during the day. Endurance exercises (moderate cardio, low repetitions of weights) can help relieve sexual tension. Exercises with heavy weights, squats, mix work and leg lifts, on the contrary, will lead to the activation of the genitals.
- Before going to bed, it is recommended to take sedatives so that psycho-emotional activity begins to slow down.
You can try to treat hypersexuality with the help of sedatives or herbal pharmaceutical preparations. It is important to consider that such funds, in particular valerian, begin to work only after a few days of regular use (cumulative effect).
If hypersexuality is provoked by alcohol or drug poisoning, then without getting rid of bad habits, the condition cannot be corrected. You can help your body get rid of toxic substances by taking enterosorbents.
Conclusion
Excessive excitement, hypersexuality is much worse than decreased libido. In the latter case, many men lead a full-fledged social life, achieve success in professional activities, pay little attention to the lack of sex. Dependence on it leaves a person emotionally (and then physically) disabled. True hypersexuality rarely develops. Basically, men themselves cultivate in their minds the need for sexual intercourse. Such thoughts are instilled by a certain information environment, the environment. Experts believe that the higher the level of intellectual development, as well as the level of work of a person, the less likely he is to develop any kind of mental addiction.
