"Sexual frigidity" is considered by most people to be a woman's thing, but in fact, men can also experience sexual frigidity. Frigidity is actually a loss of sexual desire or low sexual desire. It is a state characterized by a decrease in the ability to cope with sexual life and the level of initial sexual behavior. Both men and women may suffer from frigidity.

Xuan Xujun, chief physician of the Andrology Department of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University (Expert Appointment), said that the causes of low sexual desire in men are often not purely psychological factors, but are often accompanied by physical diseases and physiological defects.

Six reasons why men are sexually apathetic

1. Disease factors

Suffering from diseases of the urogenital system, such as chronic prostatitis, epididymitis, urethritis, etc., causing discomfort during sexual intercourse, thereby inhibiting sexual desire. Others, such as endocrine diseases and various systemic chronic diseases, can also affect sexual desire due to insufficient secretion of sex hormones or metabolic disorders.

2. Couple life after marriage

It is caused by some problems that are not properly handled in the couple's life after marriage. For example, the man asks for sex, but the woman ignores it, and even asks the man to agree to certain exchange conditions before agreeing. Over time, the man develops aversion to sexual behavior.

3. Neurasthenia and sexual organ diseases

Suffering from neurasthenia and sexual organ diseases, it is suspected that their occurrence is related to sexual behavior. A man who is affected by the above factors for a long time will bear a heavy mental burden and form a wrong concept of sex in his mind. Finally, it will be reflected in his indifference, aversion, or even disgust towards specific sexual behaviors.

4. Liver disease

When a man's liver is damaged, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer and other diseases. Due to these diseases, the androgen in men's bodies decreases and estrogen rises relatively. Some men become feminized, so men's sexual desire naturally decreases.

5. Excessive use of tobacco and alcohol

The nicotine in cigarettes and the alcohol in wine will inhibit the body's production of androgens, and can hinder the nerve reflex pathways in sexual life, reducing sexual function and leading to sexual apathy. Therefore, male friends who like tobacco and alcohol should use tobacco and alcohol as little as possible to maintain normal sexual function for a better sex life.

6. Excessive physical fatigue

The rules of life will also have a certain impact on sexual life. Many men in modern times have irregular lives, cannot work and rest on time, and work too hard, which makes the body overtired. In order to allow the body to rest and reach its optimal state, the brain will ignore sexual life, leading to the phenomenon of sexual apathy. Therefore, even strong men should pay attention to proper rest in order to maintain good sexual function.
