What does it feel like for a man to have an erection? Are men's erections as hard as cucumbers?

The penis is the most important sexual organ of a man. For men, the penis plays many physiological roles. Of course, the penis is also an organ that releases sperm. So for men, when they are in a state of strong desire, the penis will have an erection. What did it feel like when? So are men's erections as hard as cucumbers? What does it feel like for a man to have an erection? Let’s find out together.

1. Like a cucumber

Experts say: "The best state for the hardness of the male genitals when erect is like a cucumber."

Two Survey data that makes old men a little sad came out:

1. A British sex survey showed that more than 45.8% of women believe that the erection hardness of the male genitals determines the success or failure of sex, happiness and no.

For more than half of British men, their hardness generally declines after they reach the age of 35. There are at least three million British men who admit to being a bit of a softie from time to time.

2. The latest Asia-Pacific sexual health and overall health survey found that Hong Kong men and women have the second highest number of sexual intercourse in the Asia-Pacific region. However, the quantity is high but the quality is not. Nearly 70% of men and women have sexual intercourse. Life is unsatisfactory.

Half of men have insufficient erection hardness, which affects the quality of sexual intercourse between partners.

In this regard, Yip Wei-jin, the founding president of the Hong Kong Men's Aging Research Association and a specialist in urology, has a vivid metaphor: the ideal hardness of a male's penis should be as hard as a cucumber.

In other words, if the hardness of a man's erection is not as good as that of a cucumber, it only means one thing: insufficient hardness.

“Don’t expect it to be like a cucumber, just an eggplant.”

After hearing the words of Ye Weijin, a specialist in urology, that “it should be as hard as a cucumber”, a person in the sexual health QQ group A female group member told the truth: her husband, due to his increasingly heavy work load and long-term socializing outside, eating and drinking, has gained weight and his sexual function has declined severely. The direct consequence is that it has affected his sexual well-being.

This female group member said: She does not expect her husband's sexual function to return to the level of "like a cucumber", because after all, age is there, "just return to the level of an eggplant".

Several friends in the sexual health group also said that although they are not yet able to reach the level of "green melon", they have the dream of getting "green melon".

The view of sexologists is that a man’s sexual function cannot always be maintained at a high level, just like a woman cannot always maintain a beautiful appearance. However, through appropriate exercise or treatment, men's sexual function can be restored or even improved.

2. Sex life skills

1. Food helps sex: the temptation of seafood and champagne

A romantic meal can help sex. Seafood can increase cravings, especially Mediterranean mussels. Its amino acids can directly increase the concentration of sex hormones in men and women. Also try celery or fennel; they contain natural estrogen-like compounds that can also stimulate cravings.

Some foods and alcoholic beverages emit odors similar to human pheromones. Some people believe that body odor can stimulate sexual instincts. Try champagne or chocolate. Evidence shows that the smell of cucumber and licorice can also stimulate arousal in women.

Coffee may also be a good aphrodisiac. It contains antioxidants that are beneficial to the human body and can keep people young and happy at the same time. Its caffeine can drive people from the dinner table to the bed.

2. Downtime for a week: Don’t worry too much about orgasm

With the promotion of the TV series "Sex and the City" and various fashion magazines, women who have been busy all day usually feel to the more obvious pressure to perform in the boudoir, which can be detrimental to a woman's sex drive. One way to relax is to sit naked in front of your partner, stare into each other's eyes, and sit still for a few minutes to feel your body again.

Suspension of sexual intercourse for a week may also be effective, but sensual touching is still required every day and no sexual impulses are expected. Modern man has become so obsessed with orgasm that he has forgotten the pleasure that a loved one's gentle touch can bring.

Exercise strengthening the pelvic muscles is also effective. In addition to improving self-confidence, it can also enhance perception. The method is to squat down and place a ball between your calves.

3. Erotic novels: words are more imaginative

Any kind of literary work, especially erotic literature, is a safe area for experimentation.

Unlike concrete images on the screen, text is more abstract and allows us to use our imagination.

4. Time together: Don’t be too unfamiliar, don’t be too bored

If sex is no longer part of your daily life, think about whether there are any obstacles in your relationship.

One of the reasons why couples or partners lack intimate interaction is that one or both of them spend less time alone together due to work or children. If this is the case, try to arrange time for the two of you to spend time together. Communicate by phone during lunch time.

The problem may be just the opposite: too much time together. This situation often affects couples or partners who work together. In this case, try taking a step back and exploring different interests to make the time you two spend together more special.

5. Hot lingerie: Make yourself authoritative and cute

Choose some beautiful and luxurious underwear to make yourself look more authoritative and cute.

Also, after a long-term relationship as a couple or partnership, limiting sex to the bedroom may feel boring. You can try other rooms. Good lighting can also create a stimulating atmosphere.
