What Sexual Dysfunction Makes You Wrap Up Fast?
Sexual dysfunction is any condition that holds you back from getting aroused for sex, reaching an orgasm earlier than you want, taking too long to reach an orgasm, or not climaxing at all. Sexual dysfunction can be attributed to different reasons, some are psychological, others are due to the lifestyle you lead or medications you are currently taking.
It is, however, important to note that one or two night’s below-par performance does not imply that you’re suffering from sexual dysfunction. It is common for you, as a man, to perform below your usual level sometimes.
When your sexual performance is consistently below par, and it has begun to affect your desire to engage in coitus with your partner or anyone, it has become a sexual dysfunction.
There are different types of sexual disorders, and they are differentiated by the way they manifest. They are:
- Erectile dysfunction: this occurs when you cannot keep your penis erect long enough to engage in sexual intercourse. The penis gets erect when blood flows into its chambers. This blood flow into the penis is triggered by sexual thoughts in this case and as the chambers get filled, the penis gradually becomes erect. The inability to keep the blood in those chambers lead to the loss of erection.
- Premature Ejaculation: this occurs when you, as a man, reach orgasm and ejaculate before your partner. It is a quite common occurrence among men, and it happens to every man at some point in their lives. Premature ejaculation is informally referred to as “not lasting long in bed”.
- Delayed Ejaculation: this occurs when you do not ejaculate and your partner has. It is the direct opposite of premature ejaculation.
- Low Libido: A low libido is a sexual situation in which your desire for sex is on the minimal side. It usually wouldn’t be a cause for worry, except when you’re involved with a partner whose sexual desire is higher than yours. Low libido might be a result of unfavourable life events for someone who isn’t normally that way.
- Arousal Disorder: this is a situation where your penis is unable to get erect. You feel the need and desire to get involved sexually but find it physically impossible to do so.
Our focus will be on Premature Ejaculation on how bitter kola can be used to treat it. Before we get to the treatment part, let us see how bitter kola can help with premature ejaculation, that is, help you last longer in bed.
Bitter Kola; How it helps with Lasting Longer in Bed.
Bitter kola is a flowering plant that is commonly grown in Central and Western Africa. It is known to contain many phytochemicals that are beneficial to humans and is responsible for its use in traditional medicine.
Bitter kola, Garcinia kola, is useful from its bark to its seeds. The seeds are used, traditionally, to treat throat infections, cough, cold, liver disorders, and many more disorders. It helps to increase blood circulation, aids digestion, boosts metabolism, and increase energy levels; all these are necessary for improved sexuality.
- Increased blood flow means blood gets to the chambers of the penis and remains there as long as it is needed. This is possible due to the active ingredient, theobromine and caffeine that is found in the kola.
- Increased metabolism means bodily functions are constantly being carried out, and energy is constantly being produced.
- Energy levels are kept high because caffeine stimulates the central nervous system which makes you more alert and aware, giving you control over what you’re doing.
