Sexual disabilities and anxiety are problems and conditions that reduce a person’s sexual performance. Statistics show that 43% of women and 31% of men are victims of sexual anxiety. These sexual conditions can affect people of any age. However, they are more prevalent among people who are over 40 years. There are various types of sexual dysfunctions—for example, desire disorders, pain disorders, orgasm disorders, and arousal disorders. Sexual anxiety and disabilities can negatively affect romantic relationships and marriages.
Several techniques can be used to overcome these sexual disabilities
Exercise
Keeping yourself healthy and fit is a fundamental step in overcoming sexual disabilities and anxiety. You should exercise for at least 30 to 45 minutes every day. This will have a positive impact on your body, which will, in turn, increase your sexual performance. Regular exercise helps in reducing stress in a person, thus boosting mental health. With a healthy mind, your confidence will increase, thus impacting your sexual performance drastically. Working out also helps to strengthen the particular muscles that are involved in sex.
For example, in the case of men, exercise strengthens the particular muscles that help to pump blood to the penis for an erection. Therefore, to overcome sexual anxiety and disabilities, ensure that your body is in good health and shape.
Therapy/Counseling
Many therapists specialize in treating sexual disabilities and anxiety. You can make an appointment with a counselor who will listen to you and provide professional suggestions. Additionally, the therapist might help you to understand the root cause of your problem.
With this information, you will be able to handle the issue accordingly. For example, if your condition is about poor body image, there are several strategies you can implement to improve that. Therefore, don’t be shy of visiting a therapist because he/she may offer invaluable help that will overcome sexual performance anxiety.
Medications
There are several types of medications that are used to treat sexual disabilities and anxiety. For example, there are oral medications and other medications. Examples of oral medication include Sildenafil (Viagra), Avanafil (Stendra), Vardenafil (Levitra, Staxyn), and Tadalafil (Adcirca, Cialis). These four medications improve the levels of nitric oxide in your body, thus improving your sexual stimulation.
Other medications for sexual performance include; Testosterone replacement, Alprostadil self-injection, and Alprostadil urethral suppository. However, ensure that you visit a professional doctor for this medication. This is because there are certain types of medication that contain toxic chemicals which might cause permanent and negative side effects to your body.
Communicate With Your Partner
Honest communication with your partner will help to overcome sexual disabilities and anxiety. This will also help you to get rid of the constant worry and anxiety. This will ease depression, thus boosting your mental health.
Honest communication helps a couple to attain a formidable solution that will improve their relationship. It also brings them closer together to face any further challenges. When faced with sexual performance anxiety, an honest talk will help.
Distract Your Thoughts
When having sex with your spouse, try to distract your mind. This will ensure that you don’t focus on your sexual disabilities. When there is music or noise in the background, your anxiety will ease. Try to think of good moments or sensations that give you a good mood. For example, think of holidays with your partner. This will help improve your sexual performance.
Having sex in this kind of environment will help distract your mind hence helping you overcome sexual anxiety and disabilities.
Eat Healthily
To overcome sexual disabilities and anxiety, ensure that you always eat a balanced and nutritious diet. You should specifically focus on foods that boost sexual activity. For example, meat, herbs, fruits, garlic, nuts and seeds, wine, oysters, salmon, e.t.c. These will increase your sexual appetite, thus increasing your performance.
A healthy sexual life is a determinant of a successful relationship or marriage. Statistics prove that many relationships and marriages fail because one of the parties is not being sexually satisfied. The above different techniques will help you to overcome sexual disabilities and anxiety.
When correctly implemented, these strategies will boost your confidence, thus improving your sexual performance. With that, your marriage life will be more enjoyable and worthwhile.
