Why Men Need Sex and What Drives Their Desire?

/in , , /by

Why Men Need Sex and What Drives Their Desire?

 

Many stereotypes exist around sexuality, and learning why men need sex can help you learn all about male sexuality. Is it true that they need more sex than women, or is this a myth we’ve been telling ourselves as a society? Do men and women seek the same when engaging in sexual activities?

Instead of simply supporting or going against this claim, we’ve decided to dig deeper to understand what drives male sexuality. Whatever your sexual identity or orientation is, you can benefit from this article. It will help you understand the men in your life, whether friends, romantic partners, or family members, and how they go about in this area. 

 

The Biology Behind Male Desire

All genders have testosterone to some extent. However, in males, the testicles produce testosterone, the primary male sex hormone. Testosterone is crucial for developing male characteristics like muscle growth, body hair, a deeper voice, and sexual desire. 

Testosterone is responsible for several actions in male bodies:

  • Stimulates sexual desire
  • Supports erectile function
  • Affects sexual thoughts and fantasies
  • Drives morning erections

When talking about sexual desire, also known as libido, it’s important to highlight that it’s also influenced by emotional connection, stress levels, mental health, relationship quality, and life circumstances. This influence is what explains the fact that even though all men have testosterone, they don’t feel an equal level of sexual desire. 

In other words, just because someone is a man doesn’t mean they will have an immense libido. One of the common misconceptions about sexual desire is that it’s fixed. Your sexual desire can decrease and increase depending on the above-mentioned factors. If you need help with your performance, get STIFF. 

You might notice you had a strong libido last year when you started your new job and felt excited about this new chapter in your life. That level of sexual desire could decrease as soon as you start feeling overwhelmed with job responsibilities. Although every person is different, there are certain factors that can explain low or high libido. 

 

Emotional and Psychological Drivers

For men and women, sex is a form of emotional connection. We seek it when we want to feel closer to someone or when we feel attracted to a new person we’ve met. Especially in long relationships, sex becomes a form of connection between two partners rather than just a physical act. 

For many men, sex is a way to seek love and validation. Whether in a relationship or not, men see physical intimacy as emotional reassurance. It can help them feel more desirable or loved, connected to someone they also find important, safe, and so much more. 

 

Self-Esteem and Masculinity

Sex can also benefit a man’s confidence and boost his self-worth. The inability to engage in sexual activity, whether with their romantic partner or with individuals they are seeing, can negatively impact their self-perception. 

In most cases, self-esteem and masculinity are the same for men. People around them shape their self-worth. If other people see them as masculine, strong, and sexy, their self-esteem grows. If they are not perceived that way, they will probably struggle with self-worth issues. This is one of the crucial differences between male and female sexuality. 

Cultural and societal pressures contribute to various notions. For example, men are expected to constantly be ready for sex and to be good at it. They are still seen as hunters, especially by other men. In most cases, these are their friends, brothers, and often, fathers. 

From an early age, boys are taught to be tough, not to cry, and never to be afraid. Masculinity is being awarded so early in life that when they grow up, most of them still follow the same rules. It’s not uncommon for men to be advised to get over someone they love by having sex with another person. 

However, this societal pressure doesn’t have realistic expectations. Men seek sex for more than just enjoyment and to be viewed as manly; they are emotional creatures. 

 

Stress Relief and Mood Regulation

Of course, we can’t talk about sexuality without mentioning the psychological benefits of sex. The focus isn’t on whether men need sex more than women. Sex can have a positive impact on how you deal with stress and regulate your mood.  (dopamine, oxytocin, stress reduction).

During sex, and especially orgasm, your brain releases a powerful cocktail of chemicals. These chemicals are dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins. Dopamine boosts pleasure, oxytocin strengthens bonding, and endorphins elevate your mood and reduce stress. This doesn’t mean that you should have sex all the time just to release these chemicals. It simply implies that having a healthy approach to your own sexuality can be gratifying in so many ways. 

 

Societal Conditioning 

We’ve mentioned a bit of societal pressure above. Being such a huge factor in male sexuality, it deserves more explanation. In most cultures, boys and girls are raised very differently. When they grow up, they look to meet the expectations others have of them. 

One such expectation is that men are sexually driven all the time. They should always be ready for sex and perform at their best. This is why issues with erections are never talked about as openly as issues that women may face (low libido, dry vagina, etc.). 

 

Therapy for Men

Because of societal conditioning, men will be more reluctant to seek romantic or sexual guidance from a therapist. For most men, talking to a professional would mean admitting they have a problem with their sexuality, which would affect their ego immediately. However, not all men are the same. 

Those who start therapy to work on their relationship or sexuality become more aware of the factors that impact their overall well-being and start prioritizing their desires and expectations over someone else’s. They become more relaxed and comfortable with themselves, which also helps them feel better with their sexuality.

How to Know If You Are Attractive

How to Know If You Are Attractive: Unlocking Confidence and Connection

 

Ever wondered how to know if you are attractive? It’s not just about looks—it’s about how you show up, the energy you radiate, and the connections you make in a room.

Attractiveness isn’t just about symmetry or fitting into conventional beauty standards. It’s about the way you carry yourself, the way people react to your presence, and the confidence you exude. If you notice people making prolonged eye contact with you, mirroring your movements, or gravitating toward your conversations, chances are, you have an undeniable pull.

Your voice, the way you express yourself, and your sense of humor also play a role. If people find themselves laughing at your jokes or leaning in when you speak, that’s a sign they are engaged and drawn to your energy.

Another key factor? How you make others feel. When you radiate positivity, warmth, and authenticity, people naturally want to be around you. It’s not just about physical attraction—it’s about emotional and social magnetism.

In this video, I’m breaking down the key signs that prove you’ve got that undeniable presence. Let’s dive in and explore what truly makes you attractive!

How to Talk to Ladies Without Fear

How to Talk to Ladies Without Fear: A Confidence Guide for Men

 

If you’re not certain about how to talk to ladies without fear, you will want to read this article. After all, you’re not the first guy who struggles to find the best approach to new women you meet in your life. Communication with the opposite sex is difficult, but knowing how to handle the challenges will make you successful. 

The good thing about confidence is that if you don’t have it, you can build it. There are certain techniques that can help you improve your communication with women without it sounding weird or forced. In this article, we’ve decided to share the best tips for single guys looking to make new connections with women they find attractive. Before we delve into the topic, we’ve compiled a list of warning signs that most women will quickly identify.

 

Red Flags When Talking to Ladies

Approaching someone you don’t know and hoping they are interested requires courage. However, some guys might try too hard to impress or act too cool, and both of these decisions will most likely result in a lack of success. 

One of the most significant warning signs that women identify when encountering new men is their tendency to approach multiple girls until one eventually agrees to converse, dance, go home, or engage in similar activities. Trying to have more options when dating could lead to a negative outcome, especially if other women are aware of it. Instead, look for one person who seems attractive or intriguing to you.

When you finally approach her, avoid using phrases other men, including you, typically use. Don’t be cheesy or rude. Notice something that makes her different from all the other women in that place and let her know you’ve noticed it. A comment like ‘I’ve noticed you’re the only person in this bar drinking water’ will probably be better accepted than ‘You look so hot in that dress.’

As much as we all want to make a fantastic first impression, your focus should be on her and not on you. All you have to be is yourself. While you’re talking, ask her about the things you are genuinely interested in. Answer her questions the same way you would if your friend were asking them. Being natural in a situation like this can go a long way. 

Useful Tips 

Now that we’ve covered what most women don’t like, it’s important to talk about how to actually improve the way you approach and talk to ladies. Knowing what to avoid doing or saying is only the first step. See a professional like Dr. Amanda if you are looking for dating results.

 

What’s Appropriate?

Approaching someone in a supermarket is very different from approaching someone in a club. Let’s say you’ve seen a woman you like in a supermarket while buying groceries. You will probably not go to her shopping cart and start talking to her about her interests. 

This type of environment requires a more laid-back comment, which hopefully could lead to a conversation. There, it would make more sense to ask for a product recommendation or to give one. Always think about what is appropriate in a situation where you see a woman you like. Not doing that could make her feel uncomfortable even if she liked you.

 

Talk to Your Female Friends or Family Members

If you think that you need help understanding women, that’s completely okay. Consider talking to your female friends, sister, cousin, or whoever you could trust. Ask them what they like about the men they’ve dated and what they want in a partner. 

This information can help you understand what other ladies find relevant when they approach you. You could learn which compliments make sense and which to avoid. You could also learn what nonverbal gestures women prefer. For instance, you could open the door for her if you’re leaving the place together, offer her your jacket if she’s cold, respect her space, and so on. These small gestures have a significant impact when interacting with a new individual. While some women may view these gestures as outdated, others may perceive them as a sign that you value her or find her significant. 

 

Don’t Set Expectations

The men who are most successful in dating are the ones who don’t get discouraged. It’s completely normal to get rejected. The funny thing about it is that it’s really not that personal. It’s possible that the woman you’ve approached is rushing or transitioning out of an emotionally taxing relationship. There are so many reasons why a person could not be interested in talking to someone they don’t know. 

When you decide to approach someone, don’t set expectations. Celebrate yourself for being brave enough to approach someone and start a conversation with them. All of these experiences will be helpful when the right woman comes along.

 

Build Your Self-Esteem

The way we feel about ourselves affects how we introduce ourselves to the world. Are you taking care of yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally? The better you feel about yourself, the easier it will be to make a connection with someone else. Just think about it! How many times did you feel excellent about yourself and then a random stranger treated you nicely, or maybe you’ve experienced something that made your day even better? 

When it comes to building your self-esteem, look at the things you can improve. Maybe you can enter a room with your head high instead of looking at the floor. You can also start exercising more regularly to feel positive about your body. Improve your eating and sleeping habits as well. Watch this if your body image won’t budge.

Think about getting a haircut before going out with friends if you want to feel more confident. Wear that shirt for which you receive compliments every time you put it on. Wear new black boots. You don’t have to try hard. Do only things that will make you feel good. What works for your single friends might not work for you. 

That is why it’s important to act as naturally as possible when interacting with a woman you’ve never met before. Being yourself can help you find the love of your life. 

If you are ready to start now, schedule an appointment with Dr. Amanda.

What Happens When a Man Is Sexually Deprived?

What Happens When a Man Is Sexually Deprived?

 

Ever wondered What Happens When a Man Is Sexually Deprived?

In this video, we’ll dive into the psychological, emotional, and physical effects of going without intimacy for long periods as a man.

So, what happens when a man is sexually deprived? For starters, his mood can take a serious hit. Irritability, frustration, and even feelings of loneliness can become more prominent. A lack of physical intimacy can also lead to lower self-esteem and increased stress levels, affecting his daily interactions and relationships.

On a biological level, sexual deprivation can impact testosterone levels, sometimes leading to decreased energy, reduced motivation, and even trouble focusing. It may also contribute to disrupted sleep patterns and increased tension in the body.

But it’s not all negative—what happens when a man is sexually deprived can also include unexpected benefits. Some men experience heightened creativity, stronger discipline, and a chance to focus on personal growth without distractions.

From relationship struggles to hormonal shifts and potential advantages, this topic is more complex than you might think! Stay tuned as we break it all down.

Nice Guy Syndrome

/in , , /by

Nice Guy Syndrome: Do You Have It & What To Do About It? 

 

If you’ve been told that you have nice guy syndrome, you’re probably wondering whether a blog can help. Perhaps you have dated a few people who have emphasized your niceness, or your friends bring it up when discussing how to find the right person for you. 

What does it mean to have nice guy syndrome? What are the things you’ll need to be aware of when meeting other people and building relationships with them? In this article, we’ll share everything you need to know about the nice guy syndrome and how to use it to your advantage!

 

What Is a Nice Guy Syndrome? 

When talking about nice guys, at least one guy probably comes to mind. The one you felt safe walking home from the bar, or the one who offers to carry your luggage if it looks too heavy. You can count on the nice guy to understand you emotionally. 

If you’ve been described as a nice guy many times, congratulations! Contrary to what many might think, being a nice guy actually means you’re an authentic person who has other people’s interests in mind. Why would anyone want to change that? 

However, if you suspect that the lack of success in your romantic life is due to the nice guy syndrome, don’t panic. We have skills we could work on when approaching other people and trying to establish connections with them. That said, that doesn’t mean that you should stop being a nice man. 

Your prospective partners who are seeking a genuine relationship are undoubtedly not interested in bad boys who fail to contact them after a successful date. Being a nice person is essential if you want to find someone who will be kind to you as well and choose you in the long term. 

 

Useful Tips for Nice Guys 

On a first date, you don’t need to impress someone you’ve just met. Small details like opening the door and being curious to learn more about them are enough. 

Keep in mind that you don’t have to pretend you’re not a nice guy. Understanding the situation and what it requires from you can greatly benefit you. You might have the best intentions to show this person sitting across you that you want to get to know them better, and they might think you’re trying too hard. Avoiding that can help you secure a second date. 

Although everyone mostly talks about the nice guy syndrome when it comes to romantic life and dating, it’s also important to mention it in the context of your professional life. Whatever your job is, it’s crucial to be kind to your coworkers and superiors. However, you also have every right to establish healthy boundaries and be assertive when the situation asks for it. 

 

Too Much of a Good Thing

Just like it is with everything, you can be so nice to someone that it actually backfires and leads to undesired results. If you identify as a nice guy, make sure you become aware of certain behaviors that could be more harmful than beneficial. 

 

Overcompensation

One such behavior is overcompensation. Are you often putting other people’s needs first, even if it’s at your own expense? What many people forget is that being nice starts with yourself. Not taking care of yourself and making sure everyone around you is happy will eventually end in disaster. Don’t forget that only the ones who prioritize their own well-being are truly capable of taking care of others. 

 

Convert Contracts 

When we were kids, we were often taught that good behavior leads to rewards. If that was the case in your childhood, you might expect that people around you respond the same way when you do or say something nice. Expecting that other people respond how you want them to could lead to disappointment. To avoid it, make sure you become aware of your intentions before you act. 

 

Conflict Avoidance

This is one of the most common behaviors of nice guys. They avoid any type of conflict because they fear that someone will think worse of them. They might also avoid sharing their opinions in situations where they’re uncertain how it will result for them. In other words, they prefer to stay quiet in situations they can’t control. 

 

Passive Aggression

We mentioned above rewards for good behavior. However, what often happens when we don’t receive any type of reward is passive-aggressive tendencies. If you expect to be praised for being a nice guy in an environment that doesn’t care about it, you could feel a certain level of resentment. Passive aggression can be expressed in numerous ways, from comments, silence, and ignoring a person to manipulating and gaslighting. 

 

Key to Being Nice

Treat others the way you’d want them to treat you or the way you know they want to be treated. Being kind to people in your life can also teach them to treat you and others better. However, make sure that your behavior is something you feel inspired to do. When you’re kind because you want to and not because you expect something in return, everything becomes easier. After all, the rewards in life are not quite as we imagine them to be. 

When you feel a sense of satisfaction from helping someone or providing support to a friend, what could be a better reward? Be the nice guy who doesn’t care how the environment responds to his actions or words because he’s confident in his intentions. In the end, you’ll want people with the same perspective in your life, especially when choosing romantic partners. Make an appointment with one of our dating coaches to learn more about improving your life today.

What is Intimacy to a Man

What is Intimacy to a Man: Key Insights You Need to Know

 

If you’ve wondered, ‘What is intimacy to a man?’, this article is for you. Men or women, we tend to believe that intimacy means the same to all of us when, in reality, intimacy can mean different things to each of us. For instance, one person might consider deep, heart-to-heart conversations as their way of intimacy, and another might prefer physical touch, whether that’s hugging, kissing, caressing, or having sex.

So, what does intimacy mean to a man? Do men and women seek different things when it comes to intimacy? Continue reading, as we’ve spent some time researching this topic and have come up with intriguing conclusions. 

 

Men + Intimacy

Many men value intimacy in their marriages and relationships just as much as they do in their personal lives. Being completely aware of your partner’s preferences, dislikes, shortcomings, and strengths while intentionally taking them into account when you relate to him is what it means to be intimate with him.

Although many men and women will often confuse love with sex, intimacy goes beyond sex. It’s about gradually developing a relationship with someone, feeling you’re close to each other, building trust, and always being able to count on that person. 

Developing a strong emotional connection with your partner is the goal of intimacy, which goes well beyond sex and may be accomplished in a number of ways. Keep in mind that all relationships take work. Falling in love with someone might feel perfect at first, yet once you start building a relationship together, there will be so much to work on. One of these things is to understand what intimacy means to each of you. 

We can say that for a man, intimacy definitely involves knowing your partner and being aware of the reasons that are keeping them in love. In other words, men need emotional connection just as much as women do. The way they ask for it, talk about it, or how frequently they need it might be different from one man to another. 

 

Value of Intimacy In Relationships

What are the long-term perks of developing emotional connections and seeking couples counseling? There are undoubtedly certain advantages to developing a relationship with someone over time. One of the most significant is that being intimate with someone you love and trust increases your self-confidence and helps you feel more protected. 

Also, you develop greater maturity in handling problems as you go through them. Learn more about the significance of developing emotional closeness by reading on.

 

1.Credibility

One of the cornerstones of wholesome partnerships is trust. Better knowing and strengthening your relationship boosts your confidence and trust in your partner. It’s akin to working with a group of people who share your interests. You have greater faith in them because you are pursuing the same objective.

 

2.Passion

Become more passionate if you want to learn how to develop emotional connections with other people. Being focused on a relationship makes you more aware of your and their needs. It develops your attention to detail, intuition, and intentionality, which, in results, brings you closer together and makes your relationship even stronger. 

 

3.No Judgment

For men, a big part of intimacy is being able to share things with you and not feel judged or ashamed. They will also appreciate your loyalty above everything. As a woman becomes more connected to her friends than her partner, her partner will notice, which will affect intimacy.  

 

4.Physical Closeness

Focusing on physical contact is one technique to foster connection in a marriage. Attraction to your spouse comes from getting to know them, including physical contact. What type of hug your partner needs after a long day? Do they prefer making love or having wild sex? What is their attitude towards kissing and the locations where it occurs? Learning all this information leads to more intimacy. Remember, physical closeness and emotional intimacy often share a close relationship.

 

5.Safety

Being intimate with someone leads to feeling safe. Men need to feel safe as much as women do. The issue is that we think of safety as opposed to physical danger. Safety refers to our emotions, interests, and sense of belonging. A man needs to know that if they cry, you won’t make fun of them, and that their home is a safe place to relax after a stressful day at work.

 

Obstacles to Intimacy for Men

This is a significant topic since it touches on how society views and treats men when it comes to intimacy. Socialization and cultural norms play a significant role in why some men may find intimacy difficult. Also, every man has his own personality, attachment style, and upbringing, all of which influence his need and desire for closeness.

For most men, intimacy could be considered a huge dark hole. Many feel vulnerable and uneasy when asked how they feel or to discuss an emotional topic.

Many men hold the belief that women are the only ones who can express and discuss their emotions. They believe that they ought to be tough and emotionless. However, despite the fact that many men find it difficult to communicate, they still look for understanding, connection, and emotional support. Most of the time, men need those conditions to feel close or intimate with someone.

 

Conclusion

Making connections—including relationships—is essential to life. These meaningful connections provide us the motivation to live and pursue our objectives. Developing an emotional bond with your partner is a valuable step to enjoying your relationship. 

This relationship guide provides tips for developing an emotional connection with a man. If you follow them, you’ll look back on your choices with pride one day. Couples counseling is a viable option if you need further guidance on learning more about ways to be intimate with the teacher.

Sex Therapist Answers What Causes Peyronies Disease

 

What causes peyronies disease? This condition is often overlooked, yet it significantly impacts men’s health. We are focusing on the male body and men’s health again as we explore this important topic.

Peyronie’s disease is characterized by the development of fibrous scar tissue inside the penis, which can lead to curved, painful erections. This condition can arise due to injury or trauma to the penis, often occurring during sexual activity or physical activities. It can also develop without any obvious cause, leading to confusion and concern for those affected.

Do you notice changes in your male anatomy? Are you experiencing discomfort or noticing unusual curvature during erections? These could be signs of Peyronie’s disease, and it’s essential to address them. Many men may feel embarrassed to discuss their symptoms, but it’s crucial to seek help from a qualified professional. Early intervention can lead to better outcomes and a return to sexual health.

Understanding the causes and symptoms of Peyronie’s disease is vital for maintaining overall male health. If you or someone you know is experiencing these issues, don’t hesitate to reach out for support and guidance. Remember, you’re not alone, and there are effective treatment options available.

Therapy for Men

Therapy for Men: A Guide to Finding the Answers

 

We’re so glad to hear that men’s mental health is no longer taboo, and that goes for therapy for men as well. It’s about time that all people get the support they need to live more fulfilled lives. However, it’s a fact that men are still less likely than women to seek therapy. 

As society is becoming more open-minded about this topic, we’d taken a moment to look into the options of therapy for men, reasons why they usually seek help, and what to expect from your first session with a therapist. 

 

Reasons to Seek Therapy for Men

Men and those who identify as men face mental health issues just like everyone else. This could involve problems and illnesses like bipolar disorder, PTSD, anxiety, sadness, anger issues, eating disorders, problems with body image, and more. It might also just be as simple as having someone to talk to in order to get past uncomfortable emotions and ideas and enhance your general perspective on life. 

In addition to being able to support you through these mental health issues, therapists who specialize in treating men will be trained to approach counseling with an awareness of the outside influences on men’s lives.

Because of societal perceptions of masculinity, men have encountered a variety of particular obstacles while seeking therapeutic services. Although there are other factors influencing men’s mental health besides gender, men may face particular challenges due to limited notions of what it means to be a man, such as achievement, control, and power. These may negatively affect behavior, feelings of self-worth, emotions, and interpersonal relationships.

 

Benefits of Therapy

It’s not necessary to put on a front or appear to be someone you’re not when in therapy. You may be who you truly are there, express your emotions, and voice your worries without worrying about being judged. Since the therapeutic connection is based on acceptance and trust, you are free to freely explore your feelings and ideas. Besides being yourself, there are other benefits men should be aware of. 

 

Get to Know Yourself Better

Men are generally expected by society to be emotionally repressed, although therapy promotes appropriate emotional expression. Feelings connected to stress, worry, sadness, rage, or anything else can all be explored. You can better understand yourself and your responses by giving expression to your feelings.

 

Improve Your Communication Skills

Enhancing communication skills through therapy can help you in both personal and professional interactions. You’ll get improved communication skills for expressing your ideas and emotions, attentive listening skills, and constructive problem-solving techniques. Better relationships are the result of having stronger communication abilities.

 

Learn Different Coping Strategies

There are many obstacles in life, and therapy gives you useful coping mechanisms. Therapy offers strategies to handle and get past challenges, whether they are personal, relationship, or work-related stressors. Enhancing your coping skills can help you become more mentally resilient.

 

Become Healthier

Therapists focusing on men’s mental health are aware of the particular difficulties that guys encounter. They understand that men may be affected differently by problems such as controlling their aggression, substance misuse, and relationship troubles. Therapy offers a customized strategy to deal with these issues.

 

Effective Therapy Approaches for Men

Treatment is not a one-size-fits-all process. Everybody who seeks counseling will bring a unique context with them. Those belonging to the same demographic will possess distinctive qualities of their own. A skilled therapist will be able to establish a setting that accepts you for who you are. It is quite common for people to be uncertain about what to expect when they enter therapy. 

An intern, LMFTA, or licensed therapist can help you process emotions in a way that is comfortable for you. Therapy can be an open forum for discussion, or it can be highly action-oriented, with goals and steps to achieve them. 

Men are demonstrated to respond better to defined plans, action-oriented therapy, and the ability to track their progress toward goals, as opposed to talk therapy’s tendency toward more feelings-focused and abstract discussions. For many, it is inspiring to see how therapy works from the beginning, to know that skills can be acquired and that there will be greater control. 

Experts in mental health have also discovered that modifying terminology during therapy, such as outlining the procedure in detail and adopting a coaching stance, are useful strategies. Make sure you feel like you have a strong therapeutic fit before choosing a therapist. It’s entirely up to you if you find it easier to talk to another man or value the viewpoint of a therapist from a different group. This could involve locating someone who identifies as your gender identity or sexual orientation. 

 

When’s It Time to Seek Therapy? 

When it comes to depression, anxiety, and similar mental health issues, men frequently exhibit different symptoms than women. Men who experience these symptoms, their loved ones, and even some medical professionals and therapists may overlook these indicators. These symptoms are equally real, and it’s critical to recognize them in order to make an informed decision about when to see a therapist.

Indications that you should consider therapy include:

  • Feeling more easily agitated than usual
  • Sudden weight loss or gain
  • Aggressive outbursts of aggression
  • Feeling down or overwhelmed 
  • Drinking, gambling, or using drugs
  • Losing interest in your favorite activities
  • Frequent headaches
  • Difficulty to focus 
  • Feeling tired even after a good night’s sleep 

 

Remind yourself that these symptoms are nothing to be ashamed of and that you are not alone. Although it’s common to think that discussing your issues with others won’t help, this is untrue.

One of the best things you can do to start feeling better is to go to a therapist. Meaning that they can support you in overcoming your emotions and finding solutions that suit your needs. 

Regardless of your goal, whether you want to become more assertive in your workplace or improve how you are in your relationship, therapy can guide you toward it. Learning the tools you need to live the life you want is what any good therapist can give you.

Why Does It Curve To The Left?

/in , , , /by

Why Does It Curve To The Left?

 

This week, we’re taking a closer look at the male body and male anatomy. Addressing some common questions that many men may hesitate to ask. One such question is: Why does it curve to the left?

Much of men’s health involves understanding what is considered normal. And this extends to the shape and structure of the penis. It’s not uncommon for men to notice a slight curve, either to the left, right, or even upwards or downwards. In fact, slight curvature is often completely normal and can be a natural variation in anatomy. The cause may lie in the way tissue develops or how scar tissue forms over time.

Understanding your body is key to overall health and wellbeing, and no question should be off-limits when it comes to seeking answers.

How to Flirt with a Guy Over Text

/in , , /by

How to Flirt with a Guy Over Text

 

Are you looking to learn how to flirt with a guy over text? You’re in the right place! Sending a few flirtatious texts to a person you like is a terrific technique to gauge his interest while you’re messaging him. However, how can you flirt with someone subtly if you’re unsure whether they feel the same way?

If you’ve never done this before, it might feel awkward or even intimidating. Luckily, we’ve prepared everything you’ll ever need if you want to become an expert at how to flirt with a guy over text.

 

Why Flirting over Text Is Not Easy?

It’s nerve-wracking enough to flirt with your crush (why do you constantly feel speechless?). However, flirting over text introduces a completely different problem. When they make you laugh, you can’t rely only on modest and discreet flirtations like making eye contact, smiling, or lightly caressing their arm. Instead, you’re forced to think of clever and adorable answers to express your true emotions to your crush through good morning messages and well-placed emoticons (gasp).

To be honest, flirting through text is really simple, so it’s entirely reasonable to feel a bit embarrassed (and the fear of being left on ‘read’ is genuine).

Don’t undervalue the power of a heart-eyes emoji. Also, ask questions and sprinkle in a few charming compliments here and there. After all, you are playing. So who knows?

Your flirtatious texts could lead to a phone call or face-to-face interaction, and before you know it, you’ll be organizing your first date. You only need to click “send.” The following advice will help you flirt through text and get a quick response from your crush.

 

Become a Pro in Texting with a Guy

With a solid opening, begin the conversation. Even though “hey” or “hi” can seem obvious, you want to leave a positive impression. Get a discussion started (Dunkin’ or Starbucks?) to liven things up a bit. Do they choose Chipotle or Taco Bell?

Let them know you’re looking forward to seeing them this weekend, send a humorous TikTok, or ask for a new Netflix recommendation. From then on, the discussion might take a lot of different turns.

 

Ask Questions

Fun and insightful inquiries demonstrate your interest in the other person’s life and your concern for them. It may be as simple as asking, “How are you?” However, feel free to ask them about their summer vacation plans, their reading, or if they’re a foodie like you. It’s an incredibly easy and successful technique to strike up a discussion.

 

Use Humor

Post a funny TikTok, meme, or tale about your day in the comments. Laughing together quickly strengthens your bond and creates a flirtatious, fun atmosphere in your conversation. Laughing together boosts relationships, according to several studies, so start laughing.

 

Avoid Multiple Texts

Although it is tempting, sending many texts could be a little overbearing. Yes, sending many messages at once could be OK, depending on how the discussion is developing. However, avoid sending a follow-up text if you send them texts every few minutes and they’re waiting a little longer to reply. When someone abandons you on ‘read,’ it is frustrating. Just note that there are a variety of explanations for it: they may be in class, have to leave for work, or perhaps have fallen asleep. Allow some time before you decide they are not interested in you.

 

Compliment Them

Whether it’s about their new shoes, their game-winning shot in tonight’s basketball game, or the mark they received on a recent exam, make them grin with lovely praise. They will undoubtedly have an inward sense of warmth.

 

Show Interest

Whether it’s about their new shoes, their game-winning shot in tonight’s basketball game, or the mark they received on a recent exam, make them grin with lovely praise. They will undoubtedly have an inward sense of warmth.

 

Be Playful

Select a completely frivolous subject, then get his opinion on it. You may have a flirtatious text debate if you both choose opposing positions. In addition to getting to demonstrate your sense of humor, you may also politely taunt him about his viewpoint.

 

Send a Meme

Another technique to make him laugh is to do this. Send him a link to anything funny you saw online that you think he’ll enjoy, along with a note like, “This made me think of you!” He’ll probably be flattered to know that you have him in mind, and you two could even have a good time talking about the meme.

 

Invite him to an Event

See if he wants to go if you’re performing or playing a game. It might be a terrific way to build your relationship to invite someone to an event like this since it lets him know that you want him there. Quickly message him to let him know you’d love to see him there.

 

Text Examples for Inspiration

There are an endless number of texts you can send to the guy you like. However, if you need a bit of inspiration, we’ve gathered several that might help you take the first step toward how to flirt with a guy over text.

  • Hey you! Stop thinking about me so much!
  • I had a dream about you last night.
  • I’m not good at starting conversations. What about you?
  • I just watched a movie you’d absolutely love. Want me to send you information about it?
  • After the day I had, I needed some fresh air. Care to join?
  • I found you funny and interesting. We should really talk more!
  • How’s your week going? I need a break from mine.
  • Can you teach me how to flirt?
  • I just saw the new photo you posted. I really love the way you look in it!
  • In the mood to have some fun?
  • I found a great movie on Netflix. Want to watch it together?
  • Which emoji makes you think of me?
  • My hands hurt from all the typing. Want to meet up?
  • What would you say if I said that it’s time for a first date?
  • Share a secret with me, and I’ll share mine with you!
  • That’s it! I’ve officially deleted my dating app. I no longer need it!

Erectile Dysfunction Therapy Videos 💻

/in , , /by

Erectile Dysfunction Therapy Videos 💻

 

Many studies have already highlighted the intensity of erectile dysfunction among men in the United States, so erectile dysfunction therapy videos are needed to solve the problem discreetly in your home. 

Men find it embarrassing to talk about erectile dysfunction, yet if you can fix it, you’ll be able to enjoy sex again the way you want to.

If you cannot enjoy your sexual life because of impotence, erectile dysfunction therapy videos might be what you need to recover that drive. Start your journey here. 

That said, there are a few things you will need to know to better understand what is happening in a male body when they struggle with erectile dysfunction. Also, if you lead a healthy and fulfilled life, you can reduce your chances of developing erectile dysfunction in the first place. 

In this article, we bring you all the details you need, yet you were afraid to ask for. 

 

What is Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is when a man can’t get or keep an erection strong enough for sexual activity. The causes of ED are not limited to a single part of the erection process. 

Normal blood flow to the penis can be increased by thinking about something pleasurable or by touching the penis. An erection occurs when blood flow to the penis is regular.

It happens more often than you might think, especially since it can be caused by many things that have nothing to do with your sexual health. 

Many people go through it when they’re under a lot of pressure or after making drastic changes to their way of life.

However, persistent ED might indicate underlying health issues that require addressing. 

Alternatively, it may indicate underlying emotional or relational problems. 

 

What Causes Erectile Dysfunction?

Some of the things that might lead to erectile dysfunction are:

  • Vascular disease: Atherosclerosis and other forms of vascular disease can cause the arteries that feed blood to the penis to narrow or close off entirely (hardening of the arteries).
  • Neurological disorders: Stroke, diabetes, and other neurologic illnesses can cause damage to the nerves that provide the penis with sensations and stimulation.
  • Psychological states: Stress, despair, a lack of brain stimulation, and performance anxiety are all states of mind.
  • Trauma: Traumatic events may play a role in triggering ED symptoms.
  • Chronic illnesses: Peyronie’s disease is a disorder that can lead to ED, as can chronic sickness and several drugs. Surgery for prostate, bladder, or colon cancer might trigger ED.

Several pharmaceuticals have been linked to the development of erectile dysfunction.

Even though these drugs are meant to treat a certain disease or condition, they may cause erectile dysfunction or make it more likely by changing a man’s hormones, nerves, or blood flow.

 

Erectile Dysfunction Therapy

You will hear about many ways to treat your ED, yet not all of them will be successful for you. Some of the various treatments available for erectile dysfunction are:

  • Medications
  • Sex therapy,
  • Vacuum devices,
  • Injections in the penile area (I recommend NOT doing this!) 

Each type of treatment has its own set of benefits and drawbacks. 

Remember that many emotional or mental health issues might cause your ED.

Many men struggle with erectile dysfunction during times of stress, anxiety, or depression. Opening up about this to someone you don’t know, although they are experts in their field, is difficult.  To be honest, it might even keep you from talking to a therapist and getting the ED treatment you need.

However, there are different ways to access sex therapy. 

You can seek erectile dysfunction therapy videos online and hear what sex therapists say about this issue! 

Your relationship may also benefit from seeing a therapist if your ED is causing problems in it. If you and your partner are having trouble reconnecting emotionally, relationship counseling may be able to help.

Sexual Therapy for Erectile Dysfunction & Other Intimate Concerns

/in , , /by

Sexual Therapy for Erectile Dysfunction & Other Intimate Concerns

 

Sexual therapy for erectile dysfunction (commonly known as “ED”) is a form of psychotherapy that helps men (and their partners) address the psychological and emotional factors that are contributing to the ED. 

This type of sexual therapy for erectile dysfunction can include individual therapy or couples counseling and may involve a variety of techniques. 

Additionally, it is important to consider the psychological and emotional impact of ED on individuals and their partners. This can include feelings of anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem, which can impact the individual’s quality of life and relationship satisfaction. In these cases, it may be helpful to seek out counseling or therapy to address these underlying emotional issues.

A sexual therapist for erectile dysfunction can help the couple to identify any emotional or relationship issues that may be contributing to the ED, including yet not limited to cultural context, sexual orientation, anxiety, depression, PTSD, or unresolved conflicts. If you can’t get into the mood because you are stressed out, sex therapy may help you. 

Be mindful that the type of ED concerns you have can vary, yet sex therapy can help a variety of guys. Do you struggle with self-doubt, anxiety, and insecurity in the bedroom? If you cannot keep it up during a steamy session, it makes sense that you would want more support.

Some people come to sex therapy because their partners have incredibly high expectations, which can cause performance anxiety in the bedroom. If you are constantly worrying about your partner’s satisfaction only, you aren’t going to have successful intimate moments in partnered sex.

Finally, some people have sex therapy and ED concerns because of past trauma. Feeling triggered during an intimate event is something that many don’t want to experience. Therefore, they seek out sexual therapy for erectile dysfunction.

 

The main reasons someone may come to sex therapy, other than erectile dysfunction: 

  • To address issues with sexual identity or orientation: 🏳️‍🌈
  • To overcome sexual dysfunction or discomfort: 🤕
  • To improve communication and intimacy in their sexual relationship: 💬
  • To explore and understand their own sexual desires and preferences: 🧐
  • To address past trauma related to sexual experiences: 💔

 

A therapist can also teach the couple communication and intimacy skills to improve their sexual relationship.

It’s important to note that sexual therapy is used in conjunction with other treatments for ED such as tantra, kink, somatic experiences, or sensate focus techniques. 

Therapists skillset and client needs can vary greatly from person to person and is influenced by a range of factors such as culture, religion, and personal values. A qualified sex therapist can help individuals and couples address these needs in a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential environment.

Seeking professional help as soon as possible can help you understand the underlying cause of ED and get the appropriate care.
