If you haven't yet explored the work of Susan Bratton, now is the time! One Monday morning, after dropping my kids off at school, I tuned into my favorite podcast, "The Human Upgrade with Dave Asprey." A particular episode, titled "The Science of Sex: Longevity, Pleasure & Performance," featuring Susan Bratton, immediately piqued my interest.
As I approach my forties, maintaining intimacy and sexual health is as crucial to me as keeping my mind and body fit. Throughout the episode, I was intrigued by various bio-hacking techniques aimed at preserving the vitality of reproductive organs.
With aging, atrophy can affect the entire body, including the penis and vagina, leading to a decrease in size and sensitivity. According to Susan, this decline can complicate achieving orgasms, which can be disheartening for many. Nevertheless, there are compelling options available—such as supplementation and sexual regenerative therapies—that can help both men and women enhance their sexual experience as they grow older.
Section 1.1: The Role of Nitric Oxide
Research published in The Journal of Preventive Medicine and Hygiene suggests that nitric oxide plays a crucial role in relaxing the body, widening blood vessels, and enhancing circulation. Unfortunately, as we age, levels of this vital molecule decrease, which affects blood flow throughout the body and particularly to the genital areas.
Good circulation is key to maintaining sexual health, which is why many men experience erectile dysfunction and women notice a decrease in clitoral sensitivity. It may be worthwhile to consult a healthcare professional about the potential benefits of nitric oxide supplements for improving circulation to your sex organs.
Subsection 1.1.1: Semen Retention
While concrete evidence on semen retention is scarce, it is a concept that has gained traction in holistic circles. Originating from Taoism, an ancient Chinese philosophy, this practice is elaborated in Mantak Chia's book, "Taoist Secrets of Love: Cultivating Male Sexual Energy." In the podcast, both Dave and Susan discussed how retaining semen can positively impact men's health.
Some studies suggest that men who practice semen retention a few times a week may experience a boost in testosterone levels, which can enhance libido and overall sexual satisfaction. According to Healthline, retaining sperm can lead to increased energy, mental clarity, and improved relationships with oneself and others.
The first video titled "How To Biohack Your Sex Life - Ben Greenfield" offers insights into various methods to enhance your sexual health through bio-hacking techniques.
Section 1.2: Vacuum Erection Devices
During my podcast listening, I discovered vacuum erection devices, which can be beneficial for both men and women. Men can use a penis pump that creates a vacuum to draw blood into the penis, promoting tissue growth through micro-tears, ultimately aiding in combating erectile dysfunction and age-related atrophy.
Women can also benefit from a vulva pump, which enhances blood flow to the genital area, increasing sensitivity and pleasure. As women age, loss of sensitivity can discourage sexual activity, making these devices a valuable option.
Chapter 2: The Benefits of Regular Intimacy
Engaging in sexual activity should be prioritized alongside regular exercise and a healthy diet to maintain youthfulness.
Frequent sexual encounters can help lower stress hormones, alleviating feelings of anxiety and worry. Moreover, sex promotes better circulation, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen throughout the body, which contributes to a more youthful appearance.
Quality sleep is vital for aging well. Regular sexual activity releases oxytocin after orgasm, reducing cortisol levels and improving sleep quality.
As you get older, you might feel discomfort due to changes in your genital health, which can impact your desire for intimacy. However, embracing the aging process and seeking ways to revitalize your intimate life is entirely acceptable. Thanks to modern advancements and knowledge, you can effectively bio-hack your sexual health to ensure lasting pleasure and vitality.
