But we bet you didn't know that almost 50% of Indian men are not happy with their sexual performance, and in turn dissatisfied with their lives. The Asia-Pacific survey, conducted by Pfizer Global Pharmaceuticals and Harris Interactive, has revealed that 1 out of 2 urban Indian men do not have Optimal Erection Hardness, and are hence, less satisfied with various aspects of sexual performance. Meanwhile, men with Optimal Erection Hardness share a more positive outlook in all aspects of life. We give you all the inside dope.
What is Optimal Erection Hardness?
The Erection Hardness Score (EHS), is a self-reported measure of grading erection hardness on a 4-point scoring system. Grade 1 covers larger but not hard erections, while Grade 2 erections are hard but not hard enough for penetration. Grade 3 erections are hard enough for penetration, but not completely hard, while Grade 4 is the measure of a fully rigid penis. Grade 4 is also a state of Optimal Erection Hardness.u00a0
You can make sure you achieve Optimal Erection Hardness by:
>>Not drinking. Alcohol dulls the nerves between the penis and the brain, making it impossible for the brain to send chemical signals that tell the hormones to activate the blood flow to the penis.u00a0
>>Distracting your mind. Enjoy the moment rather than trying too hard.u00a0
>>Exercising. Exercise ensures blood flow, and hence, harder erections.
A man's ego depends on his erection
Dr Rupin Shah Consultant Andrologist, Lilavati Hospital
The study is applicable to most men. The quality and stiffness of an erection gives a man confidence. We always talk about things such as emotions and foreplay, but ignore erection. For a man, an erection is a sign of his manhood and makes him feel more attractive. It increases his self worth.
But I don't think it's as important to a woman. Women are more drawn to the emotional aspects of sexual intercourse.
An optimal erection is not crucial for good sex
Prakash Kothari Sexologist
It is not only the erection, but overall sexual performance that an Indian man is worried about. A man can achieve sexual satisfaction with a partial erection too. It can be aided with the help of the woman's hand. A woman will face no problem in achieving orgasm with a partial erection. But foreplay is very important.
