In common parlance sexual health would mean, anything or everything to do with sexual activity, a simple explanation for the term would be sexual intercourse. What in medical term is coitus, meaning coming together. For a common man it is sex with the penis in the vagina. Intercourse is a natural phenomenon, it’s not a science which needs to be learned, it is within us. From millions of years man has been doing it instinctively.
The feeling of sexual contact is something which has always been curtailed; sexual contact has always been considered naughty, secret, dangerous, forbidden or even criminal. The root cause of thinking such a pious natural urge as a forbidden act is our nature. From time immemorial the human species has thought of sex as a means of reproduction. Pleasure was a luxury, and communication between the sexes was minimal.

Testosterone deficiency, also known as hypogonadism, is a condition in which the testes are unable to produce enough testosterone to fulfill the body’s needs. Testosterone deficiency has many possible causes, including genetic abnormalities, injury to the testes, and being on certain medications. Normal aging also may play a role in the decline of male testosterone levels. It is also known as low testosterone.
The testes produce testosterone regulated by a complex chain of signals that begins in the brain. This chain is called the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. The hypothalamus secretes gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) to the pituitary gland in spurts, which trigger the secretion of leutenizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland. This hormone stimulates the Leydig cells of the testes to produce testosterone. Normally, the testes produce 4-7 milligrams (mg) of testosterone each and every day.

The male sex hormone testosterone stimulates the male sexual drive. If the testosterone level is low, your capacity for arousal is likely to decrease. The conditions underlying a drop in testosterone level may be a physical problem, such as liver, kidney or pituitary disease, or the side effect of a drug. The loss of sexual desire also may be due to fatigue, stress or pain.
Similarly, low sperm production can be caused by both physical and mental stress, lubricants used with condoms including spermicides, oil and Vaseline, high temperature, smoking, nutrient deficiencies and obesity.

Many people decide to use a testosterone supplement, especially people over the age of 30. A lot of people consider testosterone supplements controversial, too. According to recent studies conducted by researchers, testosterone supplements may help prevent Alzheimer’s disease. In fact, supplementation may be useful for both men and women, as testosterone levels decline in elderly men and postmenopausal women.
Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by plaques in the brain formed by the deposition of b-amyloid peptides. Researchers discovered that testosterone was found to decrease the secretion of b-amyloid peptides by 30-45 percent. But some researchers are still wary of androgen supplementation, as it can have harmful side effects, such as the development of prostate cancer in men and endometrial cancer in women.

Testosterone cream is one of many topical testosterone products to help increase testosterone levels. The safe, yet extremely potent, testosterone gel is absorbed through the skin directly into the blood stream using “Time Released Liposome Transdermal Delivery System” technology to boost testosterone levels for hours longer than many prescription drugs. It does not contain caffeine, and many testosterone creams are available without a prescription.
The inactive leutenizing botanicals in the testosterone cream stimulate and increase natural testosterone production and release. Included estrogen blockers help inhibit and suppress aromatizing (conversion) of testosterone into estrogen. People apply 1/2 to 1 tsp. of the gel to skin areas such as inner arms or thighs or behind the knees first thing in the morning and prior to bed. For best results, apply to skin with the least amount of hair. For extra benefit apply 1/2 tsp. to 1 tsp. 10 minutes to one hour before exercise or sexual activity, or as directed by your qualified health care physician. Women using a testosterone cream should cut the dosage in half.

Because prostate nutrition and health are linked closely it only makes sense that if you are not eating a healthy diet your general health level will also decline along with your prostate health. If you have poor nutritional habits your chances of developing some form of prostate problem are increased. The thing to remember is that the key to good prostate health is eating a healthy diet.
Most men do not experience prostate problems, such as benign prostate hyperplasia or prostate cancer, until they reach the age of 50. Does this mean that you should wait until you are older before concerning yourself with the health of your prostate? The answer to that question is a resounding no! The earlier in life you take control of your health with diet and exercise the better your chances of fending off not only prostate problems but a whole range of other health problems as well.

Over half the men in the United States will develop some form of prostate problem making a prostate prevention a major topic for men of all ages. Because prostate cancer and disease are becoming increasingly more common, taking care of yourself now can help you avoid problems later.
Prostate cancer, while very curable if detected early enough, is incurable once it has metastasized outside the gland itself. What this means is that as long as the cancer is confined to the prostate it can be treated and in most cases cured. Once these cancerous cells break away from the malignant tumor and enter the blood stream or lymphatic system they will grow and multiply in other parts of the body. Prostate cancer cells normally metastasize to the skeletal system, which is extremely difficult to treat. This is why it is important that all men get regular checkups by their doctors once they hit 40 years of age.
