Why modern medicine often fail to address sexual disorders?
Because it tends to treat symptoms, not the root cause of the problem.
For example, if you experience low libido, your doctor may prescribe a test on testosterone levels and you may even get hormone therapy or viagra. Doctors give a name to your condition, like erectile disfunction, and you're done.
This way a new patient is born and it needs to be treated.
The culture of "a pill will save me" is in full swing again.
What should you do ?
Don't panic.
This is the best first thing you can do to help yourself.
Secondly, you'd look at the root cause of the problem, not how to manage the symptoms.
Most of the time low libido is linked to stress levels, and testosterone level is typically one effect of that.
When the libido is low desire follows because they're the same thing, but while desire is selective, love is not.
This means that we can still love our partner even when our libido is low.
That's right, an act of love is not necessarily sexual.
So, you don't need to take viagra or other medications, because there is nothing to cure.
Just don't create a disease where there is none.
Shall I get testosterone supplements?
You'd talk with your doctor, but bear in mind that testosterone produced in your testes is not the same as testosterone in pills. If you get testosterone boosters you may in fact reduce the production of natural testosterone even further.
In fact, testosterone therapy might cause more problems than it solves. Studies have suggested a connection between supplements and heart problems. [1]
Testicular shrinkage with a diminished level of natural testosterone is another side effect of testosterone therapy. Pills may artificially increase your blood level of testosterone which in turn will signal the Pituitary to reduce it. As a result you may experience Decreased sperm count, and Infertility. [1]
Other side effects include High blood pressure and insomnia.
Our mind is a bundle of desires (for pleasure) and fear (of pain).
For some of us, under certain circumstances like Covid, our habits breaks away, and with them our confidence. Desires, including sexual desire, emerge from the unconscious mind, so there is little you can do to consciously change them. The unconscious mind works on its own and it consist of about 90% of the mind. When desires and fears are recognized, they fade away and the conscious and unconscious mind become one.
Remember that the Pituitary gland, or master gland, is in the brain and from there it controls all hormones that circulate in the bloodstream.
For example, along with human lives losses, Covid changed our habits, as we suddenly found ourselves to live almost entirely at home because of travel restrictions. While this had a positive effect on the environment including better quality of air, less industrial pollution, reinforced ozone layer, increased population of marine and wildlife, on the other side being forced not to travel and to live in the same room for months has been a tough experience for many.
Mental issues have soared during the pandemic.
Fear, worries, and stress are normal responses to perceived threats.
Faced with new realities of working from home, temporary unemployment, home-schooling of children, and lack of physical contact with other family members, friends and colleagues, we can easily develop body-mind imbalances.
For example, putting on weight is common when we overeat in the attempt of coping with stress. For this reason is important to follow a regular routine like exercise and eating only at a certain time. Continuous eating can be disastrous for our body-mind complex.
The intimate life with our partner can be heavily affected by a prolonged lockdown.
For example, the individual may become more intolerant and get irritate very quickly. Discussions become trivial and more aggressive and at some point we find ourselves in the wrong place and we want to escape.
How do I stimulate my libido?
Stay away from it. The best way is to develop love for your partner and all beings, and make sure you've a quality sleep.
Things you'd not do include watching explicit content because that will further prevent you to express love and to relax. Instead, take anything that happens to you as positive, don't blame others and give some time to yourself to recover.
Exercise like running or cycling can be very effective, as well as Yoga and Tai Chi.
On top of that practicing human values is essential to restore your inner balance and to restore the flow of your life energy (Prana) [2]
