Potency aids for men: tips and exercises

Who doesn't want an intense and passionate night that everyone involved enjoys? MyPelvi has selected the best potency aids for you to help you improve your staying power and experience a more intense sensation. Plus: some options can even help you improve your posture and improve control over your urine flow. It may not sound particularly sexy, but it becomes increasingly important with age.

There are medications for men that can increase potency. But are these medications truly sustainable? No. They are a “quick fix” and not a long-term solution for improving your sexual performance. Instead of relying on medication, we focus on natural approaches:

Healthy diet

A healthy diet can support potency in many ways by improving blood flow, regulating hormone balance and promoting overall well-being. Nutrient-rich foods such as dark chocolate and pomegranate stimulate blood flow through their antioxidants. Highly processed foods that are high in fat and sugar, on the other hand, increase the risk of being overweight, make your body sluggish and reduce your libido.

Studies have found that the Mediterranean diet is considered one of the healthiest. It consists mainly of vegetables, fruit, wholegrain products, pulses, nuts and seeds, as well as olive oil. Fish is eaten several times a week, as are yoghurt and cheese. Red meat and highly processed foods are consumed only occasionally. Dishes are rounded off with fresh herbs and spices, and very little salt is used [1].

L-arginine

L-arginine is an amino acid considered a natural aid for potency because it plays a key role in the production of nitric oxide (NO). Nitric oxide is a molecule that widens your blood vessels and thus improves blood flow. Better circulation can increase the blood supply to the genitals in particular and improve your ability to achieve an erection.

According to one study, L-arginine can help men with erectile dysfunction (ED) by improving the strength and duration of erections. L-arginine may also improve sperm quality and motility [2].

L-arginine is also available as a dietary supplement. Anyone taking medication or experiencing health problems should seek medical advice before taking it, as interactions may occur.

L-arginine is found in various foods, including:

Poultry Fish Dairy products Nuts and seeds Pulses Meat (especially red meat)

Here is a delicious recipe:

Muesli with skyr and fresh berries

50g blueberries 50g raspberries 100g skyr 100ml oat milk 1 tbsp linseed oil 50g rolled oats A handful of nuts of your choice 1 tbsp linseeds 1 tbsp psyllium husks A little honey or agave syrup if required

Put the skyr and oat milk in a bowl. Mix everything well and add the remaining ingredients, including the washed berries.

Exercise for better circulation

Regular physical exercise can support your potency in many ways. It improves blood flow, widens the blood vessels and increases the oxygen supply throughout the body. This makes your body more capable overall. Exercise also promotes the production of endorphins and testosterone, which increases libido and sexual stamina.

Exercise reduces stress and helps maintain a healthy body weight. Both reduce the risk of erectile dysfunction. Activities such as running, swimming and HIT training are particularly beneficial because they are simple, quick and require no equipment. Cycling, on the other hand, should only be undertaken over short distances and with extra saddle padding.

Pelvic floor training

Pelvic floor training increases potency by strengthening the muscles in the pelvic area. Strong pelvic floor muscles support the ability to achieve and maintain an erection. The reason is that the training promotes blood flow to the sexual organs and improves the ability to maintain an erection. Regular training can therefore improve sexual performance and have a positive effect on overall sexual health [3].

The most effective way to integrate pelvic floor training into your everyday life is through 22-minute training sessions at MyPelvi or a partner location. Using magnetic impulses, the MyPelvi chair triggers up to 25.000 contractions of the pelvic floor muscle and even reaches the deepest muscle layers. This allows you to train your pelvic floor easily and from within. You can keep your everyday clothes on and do not have to do anything other than sit back – the training requires no effort on your part.

Enough sleep

Getting enough sleep is crucial for your sexual health and can significantly boost your potency. Sounds surprising? Try it out! While you sleep, your body regulates the production of hormones like testosterone, which plays a central role in your sexual performance. Chronic sleep deprivation can lower your testosterone levels and negatively affect your libido and ability to get an erection.

Good sleep also supports physical and mental recovery, reduces stress, and improves blood circulation — and as we all know, that boosts your staying power. That's why restful sleep is a key part of any natural approach to boosting potency.

Stress management

Stress management plays a crucial role in strengthening potency, since chronic stress disrupts your hormone balance and can lower testosterone production. Stress increases the release of cortisol, a hormone that can dampen your libido and sexual performance. Techniques like meditation, yoga, or qigong can help you reduce stress and rebalance your hormones.

When it comes to rapid effects, prescription medicines such as sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis) and vardenafil (Levitra) are the best known. These medicines can take effect within 30 minutes to an hour. However, MyPelvi does not recommend medication to enhance erectile function.

Pelvic floor training is much more sustainable and can strengthen your erectile function over the long term. Because your penis is connected to the pelvic floor muscles and these decline with increasing age, targeted pelvic floor training is ideal for enhancing erectile function naturally.

There is no single home remedy that helps with erectile dysfunction. However, these foods are said to contribute to improving potency:

Dark chocolate: Contains flavonoids that can improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. Maca root: A traditional Peruvian remedy known as a libido booster and for improving sperm quality. Ginseng: A traditional Asian remedy that can enhance sexual function and energy. Pomegranate: Rich in antioxidants that can improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. Chilli peppers: Contain capsaicin, which increases endorphin production and improves blood flow. Garlic: Contains allicin, which promotes blood flow and widens the blood vessels. Almonds and nuts: Rich in arginine, which supports the production of nitric oxide, improving blood flow. Bananas: Rich in potassium, which regulates blood pressure and thus promotes blood flow. Watermelon: Contains citrulline, which is converted into arginine and improves blood flow. Spinach: Rich in magnesium, which reduces inflammation and improves blood flow. Avocado: Contains healthy fats and vitamin E, which supports sexual health.

These foods can have a positive influence on your potency, but they are not miracle cures. If erectile dysfunction persists, it is advisable to seek medical advice and strengthen your overall health.

Your potency can be improved over the long term with natural potency aids. The methods presented, such as pelvic floor training, L-arginine, a healthy diet, exercise, restful sleep and stress management, may not work within an hour, but they benefit your health and staying power over the long term. After all, only those who feel fit and vital can give their all and perform at their best in bed.
