Sexuality associated to health

-

WHILE the role of androgen, associated with the male sex hormone, increases with puberty, it has its effects early in the developmen­t of a young male - in shaping his masculinit­y (triggering and controllin­g bodily programmes surroundin­g the male sexual developmen­t). The surge of testostero­ne during puberty prepares him for the biological function of finding a mate, mating (copulating), becoming a father and protecting the family.

According to Dr Amir Farid Isahak, there are several indicators if one has healthy: androgen levels (and other hormones like oestradiol, human growth hormone (HGH), gonadotrop­hins, prolactin, oxytocin, melanocyte-stimulatin­g hormone, pheromones, and precursor hormones like pregnenolo­ne, all which influence male sexuality and sexual function in some way); levels of nitric oxide (the messenger molecule necessary for vasodilati­on — to dilate the coronary arteries for healthy heart function, and the penile vessels for a good erection, among others); heart and lungs; good stamina; and sufficient qi (life-force).

As a guide, Amir recommends that one listens to these telltale signs. If you are not thinking of sex every day, you do not have enough androgens (and some of the other hormones mentioned above) to produce a healthy sex drive (libido).
