Sexual Health and Love Relationships
Stephen Lau
Sexual health holds one of the keys to longevity. Accordingly, sexual health must be maintained throughout life -- just as one's physical and mental health.
Sexual problems naturally and inevitably come with age.
Men's sexual problems are: delayed penile erections; diminished ejaculatory secretions; shorter duration of orgasms.
Women's sexual problems are: diminished vaginal secretions; delayed arousal; fewer uterine and vaginal contractions.
Sexual problems have to be dealt with, not avoided.
Optimum sexual health is complemented by physical health, mental health, and emotional health in the form of love relationships.
Physical Health
Are you healthy?

Maintain optimum heart health. A healthy heart pumps adequate blood into your sex organ.

Maintain brain health. Sex is controlled by the brain. Remember, what is good for the heart is also good for the brain. Have a heart-healthy diet with little fat.

Maintain good lifestyle: quit smoking, and excess drinking. Make yourself addiction free.
Nicotine damages the heart and the nerous system. In addition, smoking is conducive to impotence. According to studies, one packet of cigarettes a day increases impotence by 15 percent because nicotine constricts blood flow and narrows penile arteries.
Excess alcohol can hinder libido (sex drive), erections, and orgasms in both men and women.

Maintain good numbers in blood pressure, cholesterol, and sugar levels. In particular, diabetes may cause sexual dysfunction. Control these numbers naturally without pharmaceutical drugs. Many drugs cause long-term sexual dysfunction and sexual problems.

Maintain sexual health with natural herbs.
Natural herbs for men include: aloe (erectile dysfunction); cayenne (erectile dysfunction); damiana (prostate health); gingko biloba (erectile dysfunction); pygeum (prostate health); saw palmetto (erectile dysfunction); velvet antler (hormone imbalance).
Natural herbs for women include: aloe (menopause); dong quai (hormone imbalance); ginger (low libido) lecithin (vaginal dryness); royal jelly (low libido) wild yam (hormone imbalance). |
Mental Health
Avoid depression that may come with age, due to hormonal changes and anxiety as a result of changes in circumstances.
Stress is an important factor in sexual health. Stress can come from ill health, financial problems, work stress, time stress (inefficient time management) and stress at home.
Emotional Health
Healthy love relationships are critically important to sexual health, in particular, sexual dysfunction and all types of bedroom problems. Good love relationships play an important role in making you younger and healthier for longer.
Healthy love relationships demand no great expectations. That is to say, a good love relationship is to be enjoyed and cherished; it is not meant to fulfill your needs.
Self-esteem is an important component in any love relationship. You must believe that you are "good enough."
From the Christian point of view, self-esteem comes from the fact that you are the image of your Creator, and that you are who you are meant to be.
From the Eastern Zen's (an Eastern philosophy and way of life) point of view, self-esteem means loving yourself completely for who you are (irrespective of what you like or do not like about yourself), or else you can never love another person. If you reject yourself, you cannot accept another person.
