5 myths men have about sex

According to MSc.BS.CK1 Nguyen Khoa Binh, Men’s Health Center, sexual health is an important part of overall health, an important factor in men’s lives. However, many people have misunderstandings and misconceptions that affect the way they take care of themselves and maintain their form, causing unnecessary pressure.

By understanding the body, listening to emotions and building healthy living habits, men can maintain and enjoy a more satisfying sex life. Here are some common misconceptions about men’s sexual health and the facts that need to be clarified:

The size of your penis determines the quality of your relationship

One of the biggest misunderstandings is that penis size determines the quality of sex. Many people worry that a smaller-than-average size may disappoint their partner.

However, scientific studies have proven that size is not the most important factor in bringing sexual satisfaction. Instead, communication, emotions and sexual skills are the deciding factors. A study by Journal of Gender Medicine found that sexual satisfaction depends more on emotional connection than penis size.

Men always have strong sexual desires

Another misconception is that men always have strong sexual desires and do not have difficulty with desire.

In fact, men can also experience decreased libido, due to many reasons such as stress, fatigue and hormone imbalance. Studies show that testosterone – the hormone mainly responsible for sexual desire – can decrease with age, affecting men’s desire and performance.

Sex is just a physical need

Sex has physical elements, but it also has a lot to do with psychological and emotional factors. The notion that sex is only a physical instinct leads many men to ignore the emotional and psychological aspects of relationships. A healthy relationship requires not only physical harmony but also emotional connection, understanding and open communication between two people.

Premature ejaculation is a serious disease

Premature ejaculation is a common problem for many men, but it is not always a sign of a serious medical condition. According to the World Health Organization, about 30% of men have experienced premature ejaculation at least once in their lives. This may be due to stress, anxiety or other psychological factors. However, if this condition persists and affects quality of life, men should seek advice from a specialist to find an appropriate solution.

Older men no longer need sex

Many people believe that as men age, they completely lose desire and no longer need to have sex. In fact, many men still maintain healthy sexual desire and activity in middle age and old age.

A study published on Journal of Geriatrics of the US shows that although age affects testosterone levels and sexual ability, men can still enjoy sex when maintaining a healthy lifestyle and taking proper health care.
