¿Cómo es la buena salud sexual para los hombres?

For many men, it can be difficult to have a complete picture of what healthy sexuality and sexual health look like. There are many different factors, from social media portrayals to real-life examples to societal pressure, that prevent men from talking about these issues. Sexual health education is also unfortunately lacking for many men. At Tideline Center for Health & Aesthetics, we’re dedicated to helping men enjoy healthy and enjoyable sexual activity by supporting them in many ways. Here are some of the main factors in good sexual health for men and how our team of proveedores de salud íntima va a ayudar.

Mantener la salud física

Although we tend to think of the reproductive system as its own self-contained item, it’s intrinsically linked to many other systems, such as the cardiovascular system. Poor health can have a negative impact on sexual activity in a variety of ways, meaning prioritizing your physical health can lead to a healthier sex life. Make sure to get regular exercise (at least 30 minutes of light activity per day), eat a variety of foods, and get 7-9 hours of sleep every night. These things can go a long way toward extending your life and contributing to a healthy drive for intimacy.

Mantener la salud mental

Men’s mental health is often neglected as a whole, leading many men to avoid addressing it. Poor mental health can even affect your sex life by causing bajo líbido. Good mental health means seeking out treatment for stress, anxiety, and depression (three key factors that can impact intimacy), but it can also mean examining your relationship with sexual activity and your partners, being self-aware of your thoughts and actions. If sexual activity or your feelings toward it are impacting your day-to-day life and the health of your relationships, consider getting professional help.

Mantener relaciones

Intimate relationships require special tools to maintain. In a non-sexual situation, make sure to kindly discuss your wants and needs from intimacy with your partner, being open to finding solutions and setting boundaries. It’s also important to have regular conversations about consent and feel more comfortable saying and hearing “no.” These things can help you be more productive with your partner, ensuring that everyone enjoys your encounters and wants to continue.

Mantener la seguridad

Practicing safe sex includes not only consent and communication but also using protective barriers, regularly getting screened, and attending check-ups with your primary care provider. Despite common attitudes toward sexually transmitted infections (STIs), they are very common and treatable with medication. Act early and often if you notice symptoms so that you can get treated and educate your partner about your health status, preventing the spread.

Maintaining Sexual Function

It’s very common for men to experience difficulties with sexual function. Conditions like la disfunción eréctil or early climax can have a largely negative impact on your relationship with intimacy, causing hardships for you and your partner.  It is essential to discuss these concerns with an intimate health provider, even if you feel self-conscious or hesitant. These issues are common and treatable.
