42. Sexual Response Cycle and Cold Environment: A Scientific Decoding of Male Sexual Physiology

2026-05-12

Men, you need to understand your own sexual secrets.

Men experience sex, but they may not necessarily understand their own sexual secrets. So let's uncover the mystery starting now!

Men, pay attention to your own sexual cycle

From sexual arousal to orgasm, and from orgasm back to the initial physiological state, the genitals and other aspects of the body undergo a series of cyclical changes, which is the sexual response cycle.

A characteristic of male sexual response is the ability to quickly enter a state of sexual arousal.

This is related to the "proactive" and "aggressive" nature of male sexual impulses.

The male sexual response cycle consists of four phases: excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution.

Male sexual arousal is primarily characterized by penile erection.

This state can occur within about 10 seconds of receiving psychological or reflexive sexual stimulation, but it will temporarily subside if it does not progress to the next stage of sexual response in time.

Men don't need to be nervous; the symptoms can recur after being stimulated.

The duration of orgasm indicates that the physiological, muscular, and nervous tensions reach a higher intensity.

At this time, breathing becomes deeper and faster, blood flow to the reproductive organs becomes more pronounced, the penis becomes erect, and sexual pleasure is intense for both men and women.

If the coordination is harmonious, the physical movements of both men and women, especially pelvic movements, will be regulated very properly, so that both of them will reach orgasm at the same time.

To achieve this, men need to have good emotional communication with their partners.

Male orgasm is the period of highest sexual arousal in men during sexual response.

As men experience orgasm, they feel a powerful pressure that makes ejaculation both imminent and inevitable.

In fact, the intensity of male orgasm depends on the degree of fatigue, sexual psychological state, intensity of sexual stimulation, and the interval between two sexual intercourses.

As ejaculation ends and sexual energy is released, the muscle tone of the male reproductive organs and the entire body drops sharply, and the erection of the penis quickly disappears.

One of the most notable characteristics of the male resolution period is that after orgasm, there is a period during which the individual does not respond to further sexual stimulation; this is known as the refractory period.

It is precisely because of the existence of the "refractory period" that excessive sexual intercourse can be avoided, which can cause physical damage and sperm deficiency.

It is particularly noteworthy that men with severe premature ejaculation often exhibit an excessively prolonged refractory period.

Male orgasm and ejaculation should not be the same.

Male orgasm is not the same as ejaculation. The practice of taking only the moment of ejaculation as the content of love and the ultimate goal of sex will inevitably make one's sex life too tiring and boring.

Moderate control can make a couple's life more exciting and joyful.

Human sexual response is divided into the excitement phase, plateau phase, orgasm phase, and resolution phase.

The orgasm is the peak of the sexual response cycle. The high level of sexual energy and muscle tension accumulated during the plateau phase is released through rhythmic muscle contractions. Although it only lasts for a few seconds, it brings the greatest pleasure and satisfaction to the mind.

As the rhythmic contractions of orgasm occur, men feel a powerful pressure that causes semen to be ejected from the urethra, and ejaculation happens imminently.

However, ejaculation and orgasm are not the same thing.

Because adult men can also ejaculate without any sexual activity or orgasm, such as nocturnal emission, or ejaculation due to fright, strenuous exercise, or electric shock.

These situations all fall under the category of separation between orgasm and ejaculation.

Having sex in a cold and damp environment severely depletes one's "vitality".

Having sex in cold temperatures can easily lead to catching a cold and can also harm a man's health.

Especially in summer, men should be careful not to turn on the air conditioner when having sex.

First, during sexual intercourse, blood vessels throughout the body become congested and dilated, and sweat glands and pores are open for perspiration. If exposed to a cool breeze at this time, the blood vessels in the skin will suddenly contract, causing a large amount of blood to flow back to the heart, increasing the burden on the heart. At the same time, it will also cause the sweat gland pores to suddenly close, causing sweat to remain in the sweat glands, which is not conducive to perspiration and makes one more susceptible to catching a cold.

Secondly, after sweating profusely in the summer, blood viscosity increases, blood supply to the brain decreases, and oxygen supply is insufficient.

If the room temperature is low at this time, blood vessels constrict, the brain suffers from severe oxygen deficiency, and fatigue is particularly easy to occur after sex.

In addition, if you stay in an air-conditioned room all day, the air is difficult to circulate, and a lot of bacteria will accumulate in the room.

When the body is fatigued or sweating, its resistance decreases, making it more susceptible to other diseases.

Safe sex requires proper use of air conditioning.

Having sex in a hot environment without air conditioning is also not good.

It is best to use air conditioning before sex.

Turn on the air conditioner half an hour in advance to lower the room temperature and keep the indoor temperature about 5℃ to 10℃ different from the outdoor temperature. It is best to open the window for ventilation or turn on the electric fan to cool down before starting sex.

If a man is sweating profusely before intercourse, he should wait until the sweat has completely dried and his heart rate has stabilized before engaging in sexual activity.

If you experience excessive sweating after sexual intercourse, it may be a sign of physical weakness, and it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible.

"Cold treatment" keeps erectile dysfunction at bay.

Many men lack confidence in their virility, while others have excessively high expectations of their performance in sexual life.

In fact, if you approach sex with a normal mindset and use scientific health methods, you, as a man, will still be in control during your sex life!

Psychogenic erectile dysfunction can be resolved with "calmness".

If an erection occurs at night or before getting out of bed in the morning, but not when preparing for intercourse, this is mostly psychogenic erectile dysfunction.

Treatment for psychogenic erectile dysfunction requires men to approach it with a calm attitude.

Some men, lacking sexual knowledge, may be bewildered or act rashly on their wedding night, leading to failed intercourse and subsequent erectile dysfunction. Others experience erectile dysfunction due to disharmony in their sex life, where the woman is unable to achieve sexual satisfaction, causing her to despise the man and creating a latent psychological burden in future sexual encounters, fearing that the woman will again be dissatisfied. Still a few men, though never having experienced sexual intercourse, may feel unable to have intercourse on their wedding night because of past experiences with masturbation and nocturnal emissions, leading to erectile dysfunction due to psychological burden.

Men need to relieve their mental burden; once they can relieve their mental burden, their erectile dysfunction can heal itself without medication.

In addition, at this time, it is best for men with erectile dysfunction to separate from their partners for a period of time. During this period, they should try to maintain a regular and normal lifestyle, avoid fatigue, and avoid any sexual stimulation as much as possible.

Engaging in appropriate exercises such as Tai Chi and Qigong can be very beneficial.

This period should ideally last about a month.

If both partners have a strong sexual desire, resuming sexual activity will surely be successful.

Erectile dysfunction is actually "normal".

Men may experience involuntary erections not only in the early morning, but also during deep sleep.

Generally, men experience 3 to 5 erections each night, with each erection lasting an average of 15 minutes, but some can last as long as 1 hour.

Erection will occur as long as the nerves, blood vessels, and the structure and function of the corpora cavernosa of the penis are normal.

However, sometimes erectile dysfunction in men is "normal," and men don't need to be too nervous.

During a man's illness, morning erections may disappear; however, they may reappear once he has recovered.

Sometimes, excessive fatigue or other physical problems can also lead to abnormal nighttime erections.

Don't worry unnecessarily, otherwise you'll fall into a vicious cycle of "the more you worry, the worse it gets, and the worse it gets, the more you worry."
