Both psychological factors and the male sex hormone testosterone control how sexually aroused men become. A man with a very low testosterone level is unlikely to be highly interested in sex and may have trouble getting sexually aroused. However, non-hormonal factors like physical disease, stress, sexual difficulties, boredom, and dissatisfaction with a current relationship account for the majority of cases of decreased sex drive.
Sexual orientation
Your sexual orientation, or whether you are heterosexual (attracted to people of the opposite sex), homosexual (attracted to people of the same sex), or bisexual (attracted to people of both sexes), is likely influenced by a combination of your personality traits from birth, your upbringing, and your relationships with your family. However, these findings have not been widely recognized. Some researchers have suggested that there may be a way to determine sexual orientation. Pure heterosexuality or homosexuality is uncommon. In instance, it’s typical for teenagers to go through a phase of experiencing homosexuality before developing feelings for those who are the other sex. However, some people continue to favor homosexual relations.
Homosexuality
As long as the person is happy with his homosexuality, this deviation from the majority’s mostly heterosexual orientation is of no medical consequence. Unless the individual is extremely committed to making the effort and has at least a passing interest in the opposite sex, treatment for changing sexual orientation is unlikely to be effective and is rarely advised. But because of society’s frequently intolerable stance on homosexuality, homosexuals frequently feel weird and guilty, which causes them to repress their sexual desires. This can hurt your mental health. Consult your doctor if you believe you are homosexual and are having these issues. Your doctor might be able to provide you with some helpful advice or direct you to one of the nonprofit groups that specializes in providing counseling to homosexuals. As with heterosexual partnerships, precautions against sexually transmitted diseases should be strictly followed.
MEDICAL PROBLEMS RELATED TO HOMOSEXUALITY
Sex between heterosexuals and homosexual men is just as harmful to your health as being a homosexual guy. People of either sexual orientation who have several sexual partners but do not take any preventative measures against HIV are likely to experience recurrent infections. Men and women who have many sexual partners are at increased risk of the more serious diseases such as hepatitis and AIDS. Infection with one sexually transmitted disease seems to enhance the susceptibility to others. Men who identify as homosexual and who have several partners should engage in safe sex and wear a condom whenever possible. The following symptoms should be watched out for.
- Unjustifiable fatigue.
- Skin color turning yellow.
- Unknown sores or rashes.
- Infections of the digestive or respiratory tract that occur unusually frequently or persistently.
- Persistent gland swelling.
Consult your doctor right away if you experience any of the above signs or symptoms. It is advised to postpone sexual activity until the underlying cause of the symptoms has been identified and treated.
