Measures to improve sexual performance
Luckily, there are various ways to boost or generally improve your sexual performance. Most of these measures are simple but if worried, consult a doctor for further advice.
Maintain an active lifestyle
An ideal way to improve overall health is engaging in cardiovascular exercise. Sexual activity can increase the heart rate, but regular exercise can help your sexual performance by keeping the heart in good shape.
A 30-minute session of heart-pumping activity such as running, aerobics and swimming can create wonders in boosting your libido.
Dietary additions
Certain fruits and vegetables can promote an increase in blood flow. Some of these that you can add to your diet include:
- Onions and garlic. These foods might result in an undesirable breath but promotes an improvement in the blood circulation.
- Chilies and peppers. Naturally spicy foods help improve the blood flow by lowering inflammation and hypertension.
- As a potassium-rich fruit, it helps lower the blood pressure. This can greatly benefit vital sexual parts in the body as well as boosting sexual performance. You might want to add a banana as a dessert after dinner for an invigorating bedroom escapade.
Aside from fruits and vegetables, meats and other food products can also help achieve better blood flow such as:
- Vitamin B1. This vitamin signals the nervous system to move more rapidly including the signals from the brain to the penis. It is generally found in peanuts, pork and kidney beans.
- Omega-3 fatty acids. This type of fat improves the blood flow and present in tuna, salmon, olive oil and avocados.
- As a good source of other B vitamins, eggs balance the hormonal levels in the body as well as reducing the stress that often disrupts an erection.
High stress levels
Stress can affect all aspects of health including the libido of men. If under stress, there is a detrimental increase in the heart rate and blood pressure. Both can disrupt the sexual drive and performance in the bedroom. Psychological stress has also an effect on attaining an erection or an orgasm.
Physical activity or exercise is an ideal way to lessen stress and enhance overall health. Opening to your partner about any stressful scenarios whether at home or in the workplace can help you calm down while improving the relationship.
Under constant stress can also generate undesirable habits such as alcohol consumption or smoking that can disrupt sexual performance. Although some unwind from stressful events by drinking alcohol or smoking, there are other “healthy” ways to cope that will not cause any harm to your performance at night.
Out with the bad habits
If you relax by consuming alcohol or smoking, it can affect your sexual performance in the long run. Although studies reveal that ingesting a minimum amount of red wine improves circulation, excess intake of hard alcoholic beverages has adverse effects.
Stimulants constrict the blood vessels and have a link to impotence. Limiting or cessation of smoking is one of the initial steps to improve performance. Replacing any bad habits with healthy ones such as regular exercise and a healthy diet can boost sexual health.
Sun exposure
Sunlight ceases the production of melatonin in the body. This hormone aids with sleep but also calms the sexual urges. Reducing melatonin can potentially increase sexual desire.
Try to spend some time outdoors and expose your body to stir up the sex drive, especially during the winter season when the body produces more melatonin.
Masturbation
If your sexual performance does not last long, as usual, it might require practice. Although sex is the ideal way to practice, masturbation can also improve your longevity in the bedroom.
Nevertheless, the manner on how you masturbate has detrimental effects. If in a rush manner, it can unintentionally lessen the length of sexual activity. The key is making it last, just like you want to when you are with your partner.
A close relationship with your partner
Remember that sexual activity is not a one-way street. Paying attention to the desires of your partner will not only make the activity a pleasurable and satisfying one but also helps turn you on or slow you down. Discussing this with your partner beforehand can lessen any awkwardness if you need to slow down during a “heated” moment or peak momentum.
You can alternate the pace or focus on your partner while taking a break for a more enjoyable experience.
When to consult a doctor
If sexual health issues such as erectile dysfunction, Peyronie’s disease or other ailments are likely, medical treatment might be necessary. Consult a doctor to discuss ways or treatment options to improve sexual health.
