Male Sexual Problems

Ayurveda stresses maintaining the health and vitality of the reproductive system. This is not simply to allow for a better sex life. It is to afford greater vitality for the body as a whole and for the nervous system specifically. Sexual energy can become creative energy and help facilitate mental or spiritual work. Hence, many yogis use herbs for the reproductive system for their general energizing effect. Such herbs enhance Ojas, our underlying vital essence; they do not irritate the sexual nerves or promote unwanted sexual activity.

Sexual debility is lack of sexual vitality or inability to perform adequately sexually. Symptoms include low energy, fatigue, tiredness, lack of sexual motivation and impotence. Nervousness, palpitations, spermatorrhea, nocturnal emissions and premature ejaculation may occur. Sometimes weak Kidney indications, frequent urination or lower back pain will happen.

Sexual debeility can be caused by overwork, too much exercise, stress or trauma. It may be a complication of underweight and malnourishment where there is insufficient energy. Or it can be caused by overweight which slows down and dulls the reflexes. For a strong sex drive the male ego has to have some confidence; failure or lack of sucess in life can caused it to weaken. According to Ayurveda, sexual debility is frequently caused by excessive sex, the product of sexual exhaustion.
