Men should be brave and fearless, but they have some "weak spots" when it comes to sexual health. The following are the five words that men fear most. Only by paying attention to them in life can we protect our sexual function and help men maintain their "virility".

1. Soft

Don't sit on soft sofas for long periods of time. Sitting on a soft sofa for a long time can cause serious damage to the male scrotum. The normal sitting posture is with the pelvis as the fulcrum, and the scrotum can be placed loosely between the legs. But when sitting on a soft sofa, the scrotum will be squeezed close to the legs, which will not only increase the local temperature, but also hinder local blood circulation, thereby affecting the production of sperm and testosterone. Therefore, men should never sit on a soft sofa for a long time. After sitting for 40 minutes, they should stand up and walk around.

2. Cold

Avoid direct cold air blowing from the air conditioner. Men's sexual function is closely related to the season and temperature. Generally speaking, in a cold environment, sexual function will decline, showing the law of "heat expansion and contraction". Cold will cause a man's penis, scrotum and other organs to shrink, and the touch will become insensitive. Cold can also induce or aggravate prostate disease, causing premature ejaculation, painful ejaculation and other discomforts. Therefore, men should pay attention to keeping warm in cold weather, and avoid direct air conditioning in summer to prevent them from getting cold during sex.

3. Hot

Beware of high temperature damaging the testicles. Testicles are important male reproductive organs, responsible for producing sperm and male hormones. In order for the testicles to work properly, their temperature must be maintained at 35.5℃-36℃. If the surrounding temperature is too high, it will affect the normal function of the testicles. Therefore, men should wear less tight underwear and jeans, go to hot springs and saunas less frequently, avoid being exposed to high temperatures for long periods of time, and avoid using computers on their laps.

4. Tide

Humid environments are prone to disease. A moist environment and local moisture in the external genitalia can easily lead to skin diseases such as tinea cruris and scrotal eczema. These skin diseases can cause local itching, rash, pigmentation, odor, etc., seriously affecting a man's self-confidence and sexual desire, and some can also cause suspicion and conflicts between lovers. In addition, it may also lead to nocturnal emissions, premature ejaculation, etc. Therefore, men are reminded to wash their private parts correctly before and after sex and keep their external genitalia clean and dry. It is recommended to wear thin cotton underwear and change them every day to maintain local ventilation.

5. Tired

Being too tired is not good for sex. When a man is nervous and tired, his sympathetic nerves are in an excited state, which can significantly inhibit sexual desire and penile erection. Physical fatigue will inevitably affect a man's performance in sex and greatly reduce his sexual happiness index. Therefore, men should arrange their lives reasonably to avoid overwork.
