Calm
Down, Don’t Get So Testes
During
puberty and the few years following, your natural level of testosterone
is extremely high. But this isn’t a concern because your body
needs it to help you grow and look like a man. As you grow older,
the level of testosterone starts to decline – especially around
middle age (also known as Male Menopause).
Normally, your body knows when to stop producing testosterone when
the concentration gets too high. However, certain things you do
in life may be disrupting this ability and adding excessive levels
to your natural range of testosterone. Weight lifters and body builders
tend to increase their testosterone level from exercise, steroids,
and other testosterone boosters as a means to build muscle. Yes,
testosterone aids in the development of muscles. But the excess
unused testosterone has to go somewhere.
Excessive masturbation and sexual practices also lend themselves
to a heightened level of testosterone. The hormones sent by the
brain to stimulate testosterone production in the testes are also
responsible for producing sperm. During bouts of excessive masturbation
and sex, the testes are constantly sending a message to produce
more of your little swimmers. To do so, it needs more testosterone
and the hormones associated with it. You may have sufficient levels
(sometime too much) of testosterone in your system, but you may
not have the other hormones needed to create more sperm. So the
brain pumps the production of both testosterone and other hormones
into overdrive to meet the demand.
Along with testosterone, seminal fluid is needed from the prostate
when you produce semen. Ejaculate is comprised of 5% sperm (which
comes from your testes) and 95% seminal fluid (which is produced
by the prostate). The seminal fluid from the prostate is needed
to provide protection and nourishment for sperm. Besides flushing
out any harmful bacteria and liquids that may be in the urethra
of the penis during ejaculation, it also provides a wetter and more
hospitable environment so the sperm can actually swim and make it
to the female’s egg. So, excess masturbation and sex makes
the prostate work even harder, on top of the extra testosterone
converting it’s already doing.
Along with sperm, testosterone is used in the erection of your
penis. The extra amount of time you have your penis hard (outside
from normal spontaneous erections) is creating a “positive”
biofeedback loop, training your brain to produce more testosterone.
The brain (specifically, the anterior pituitary gland) gauges its
production of testosterone on not only how much is currently in
the body, but also by the amount of production in the past. This
is especially the case in Youth Impotence, where the naturally high
levels of testosterone production from puberty is carried over into
adulthood from the continued practice of over-masturbation.
The Testosterone Zone
If your premature ejaculation is a result from the overabundance
of testosterone in your system, there are several things you can
do to put your testosterone back to its proper levels. Diet is a
key factor. Try reducing your intake of red meat and dairy products,
and switch to eating a lot of fresh vegetables, fruits, seeds, nuts,
and soy products to help cool (and shrink) your prostate, which
will reduce the binding of DHT in the prostate tissue.
Taking steroids and other boosters may increase your muscle mass,
but it’s leaving unwanted side effects. Also, if you’re
taking any medication, a boost in testosterone may be a side effect.
However, you should consult your physician to find out for sure
and to ask if you can stop taking your current medication.
Besides proper exercise (to help burn off some of the testosterone)
and diet, an herbal supplement may be used to help recovery. Natural
products like herbs aid in bringing the body back to a normal, healthy
range. The body needs a balanced ratio of all its hormones to be
able to run at its peak performance and herbs are a great way to
do that.
