A Few Things Everyone Should Know About Erogenous Zones

Some body parts in both men and women are more sensitive to sexual stimulation compared to other parts of the body. These parts are known as erogenous zones. This is a concept that dates back to ancient times. It is highly recommended for the partners to explore the erotic body map of their bodies. This is one of the ways to enjoy more in sex. However, we should also remember that love itself is essential for lovemaking. Love, however, is not necessary ingredient for men and women to enjoy sex. In order to call something love both partners must satisfy each other’s senses. Sex is less demanding. In order to achieve sexual arousal it is sometimes enough to arouse only one sense. The power of good looks, the deep voice in men and gentle voice in women act stronger than any aphrodisiac agent in some people. In the literature dedicated to sexuality there were descriptions of cases of permanent sexual obsession of some women and men after an accidental contact with a sweat soaked tissue from the person that attracts them.

The incredible expansion of the perfume industry is therefore not exclusively associated with purity and aesthetics, but also contains the accented characteristics of sexuality. No matter of their looks, voice, scent or taste, senses play important role in sexual communication between men and women. Of course, physical body contact is the strongest sexual booster which usually leads to orgasm.

It is no surprise why the erotic map is so important. The look, the voice and the scent of a person is immediately processed in the brain and then merged with the previous experience that will determine whether this person will arouse us sexually. Touch (physical contact) bypasses the big brain. The sexual sensations obtained by physical contact have a reflex character, therefore they are direct. Even paralyzed people, in case their sexual centers in the spinal cord are unaffected can achieve hard erection or vaginal wetness (in women) through physical contact – touch. Every part of the body is not equally sensitive to touch. Basically, the more nerve endings are found in one body part the more sensitive it is.

In this sense, there is some kind of erotic map on the body which includes zones that are sensitive to touch. The clitoris, vaginal entrance, labia, part of the front wall of the vagina, glans penis (especially the tip of glans penis) the region between the anus and the reproductive organs, inner thighs, buttocks, mouth (especially the lips), ears and breasts (especially the nipples) are called erogenous zones due to their high sexual sensitivity to touch.

Experienced lovers know that the list of erogenous zones doesn’t stop with the previously mentioned erotic map of the body. A simple touch on the partner’s neck, using your hands on your partner’s hand, toes and feet or the lower parts of the back can also lead to very intense sexual arousal and stimulate sexual desire.

Make sure to be relaxed and careful and don’t focus only on the erogenous zone, but listen to your partner’s body and movement. 

Important Root Causes of Erectile Dysfunction

Studies in several countries show that erectile dysfunction affects more than 100 million men worldwide. Despite this huge quantity, the patient with erection problems feels completely alone.

Man, due to socio-cultural context in which it was created, has difficulty in talking about their problem and especially with his own companion, before whom he feels diminished. With friends, in the same posture, the reply will certainly be of mockery and embarrassment. Fear and ashamed of their condition hinders these men to consult an expert.

3 Main Causes of Erectile Dysfunction

The causes of erectile dysfunction can be divided into three major groups:

·        Organic

·        Psychogenic

·        Mixed

It is important to emphasize that the erection disorders occur more frequently in as the individual ages, but are not due to only age. The fact can be explained when it is understood that various diseases that favor the onset of erectile dysfunction occur most frequently in people over age.

Organic Root Causes

Penile erection is a phenomenon dependent on various factors and involves the nervous, endocrine, vascular and tissue of the corpora cavernosa. Therefore, changes in any of these factors may contribute at least in part for erectile dysfunction.  

Injury or vascular disorders can impair the required blood circulation in the penis. The arterial occlusive disease of atherosclerotic or traumatic etiology of pelvic and penile vascular system decreases blood flow and substantially reduces penile erection.

Changes in the nerves lead to sexual stimulation to the penis. Diseases or conditions that affect the nervous system, such as alcoholism and diabetes mellitus can cause erectile dysfunction. In addition, spinal cord injuries, surgeries and pelvic radiotherapy destroy nerve fibres, a loss of erective function.

Changes in hormone production such as lowering blood level of testosterone (produced in the testes) leads to decreased interest in sexual activity. Anatomical and physiological changes in the corpus cavernosum, preventing them from adequately dilate to promote erection. The corpora cavernosa are cylindrical structures, located in the body of the penis, which receive the blood and keep it under pressure, promote erection. 

Psychological Root Causes

This category is related to mechanism of action with the central inhibition of the erection process, emotionally based and without the participation of any organic component. 

Many emotional factors such as stress, anxiety, fear of failure, shame, family problems, financial problems, among others, may be responsible for erectile dysfunction, in varying degrees, including premature ejaculation problems. The preoccupation of the individual with sexual performance can also lead to erectile dysfunction. The man with ED is isolated with their problem.

The fear and the shame of failing again, eventually lead man to abstain from any sexual contact, leading him to a vicious cycle that slows down more and more the process of healing.

Mixed causes

It comprises a combination of organic and emotional factors. After going through successive failures when attempting intercourse, the feeling of inferiority experienced by the individual will cause a huge psychological impact. The vicious circle created makes it increasingly difficult the possibility to solve the problem alone. In the case of erection, ultimate expression of masculinity, related by the concepts of our society, the strength and power in its broadest sense is extremely rare in patient with an organic cause, whatever it is, does not end, also showing an emotional involvement.

What is the Relationship between Erectile Dysfunction and Cardiovascular Disease?

Erectile dysfunction and cardiovascular disease may be related, and one of the main explanations for this is the reason that leads to vascular problems which are the same that cause disruptions in the erection process. Understanding the relationship between these two conditions is essential to prevent more serious consequences, such as healthy heart failure, in the same way as the treatment of cardiovascular problems can thus help improve the quality of erections and allow a fulfilling and satisfactory sexual life.

What are the main cardiovascular problems that cause erectile dysfunction?

Atherosclerosis: Atherosclerosis is characterized by hardening of the arteries by the deposition of atheromatous plaques in their walls. The deposition of these plaques in the arteries hinders blood circulation, mainly in arteries of small penis, making it difficult to fill the corpus cavernosum of the penis during sexual stimulation. The erection process is so difficult, such as the circulation of blood through the remaining parts of the body. Atherosclerosis raises the risk of cardiovascular problems such as other aneurysm, stroke and peripheral artery disease.

Hypertension: Hypertension is characterized by excessive pressure on the artery walls which can ultimately lead to its damage. In the arteries of the penis in particular, hypertension can lead to these burst, preventing sufficient blood to reach the penis and thereby fail to achieve hard erection. On the other hand, some drugs used in the treatment of hypertension can lead to problems with erection. Among these drugs include beta-blockers and thiazides, although its effects at the level of erectile dysfunction do not affect all men who take them.

Treatment for erectile dysfunction caused by cardiovascular disorders

Before treating erectile dysfunction specifically, a medical evaluation that would show that the problem of erectile dysfunction is related to heart disease must be made. After this finding, treatment can be administered to cardiovascular problems. If your doctor tells you and find it necessary, you may have to adopt a plan of treatment based only on changes in lifestyle, such as weight loss, exercise, diet among others. The treatment, whether or not using drug, not only improves cardiovascular problems and reduces the risk of more serious complications, but also improves the quality of your erections. In the case of this form of treatment is not sufficient, can be shown specific treatment for erectile dysfunction, which allow men to regain their sexual life.
