11 Celebrities Whose Sex Lives Teach Us A Lot About Men's Sexual Health

When people talk of well-being and good health they majorly talk of your diet, your fitness routines, and sleeping patterns. However, what a lot of people forget is that sexual health is as important as having a healthy diet or a good physique.

Sexual health is an essential aspect of a person’s life. It can be very crucial and can also dictate one’s general behavior and outlook towards life. Where it becomes even more critical is perhaps in men, who might not be very open to discussing the sexual state that they’re in. Studies reveal that around 90% of men suffer from minor or major irregularities but less than 20% talk of it openly. This might be associated with the general psyche of a man who thinks that having certain glitches in sexual health would make him less manly.

Men might find it daunting to talk about their sexual health, but they should understand that it in no way is an embarrassment of any sort. It is a genuine problem; an affliction that needs special attention and one which can be treated.

As the world celebrates Men’s Health week, it is an excellent occasion to talk of something that men rarely talk of; and yet something that can change their entire world. Sexual health is not a taboo; it is a serious issue and needs to be dealt with accordingly. Here is all you need to about a man’s sexual health and how you can make it better:

What Is A Man’s Sexual Health?

Let’s face it; sex is an integral part of a person’s life. It has an immense impact on the well-being of a person. When you talk about a man’s sexual health, you mean everything related to his state of well-being that lets him fully participate in and enjoy sexual activity.

What factors Can have Consequences On Sexual Health?

Many factors can bear consequences on a man’s sexual health. This is what makes things tricky going forward. As much as your lifestyle can affect it, certain internal factors also have the potential to leave a mark on your sexual health. A range of physical, psychological, interpersonal, and social factors influence a man's sexual health.

To maintain a healthy sexual life, it is imperative to keep a lot of factors in check. It is needless to say that your sexual life has as much an impact on you as it has for your sexual partner. It is, after all, an underlying factor between two people and can be crucial in forming or disrupting essential bonds between the two. You need to keep a check on your food habits, your fitness; you have to see you aren’t clogging up your arteries with cholesterol as that has an enormous effect on your sexual health. You also have to maintain a lifestyle that suits you; because if it doesn’t, you might become prey to stress and it can also prevent you from forming meaningful social and personal bonds.

Food For Sexual Health

Lovemaking is the vital element to protect any relationship. It is also critical to make sure that you’re on top of your sexual health. To be good sexually, a man must be confident and healthy, and for lovemaking, you need robust sexual health. Now, you might contemplate and take contemporary medication as a cure, but most of us always discern the fact that Nature has the cure for everything. These food items can exponentially aid your sexual libido and make you feel secure and confident about yourself, the two major aspects of sexual health. Here is what you should eat to maintain good sexual health:

It is a very serious topic, and what makes it even more fatal is the fact that people don’t take it very seriously. It is almost an anomaly to think that a high sexual drive is natural. Having a higher sexual drive could also render harmful as then you tend to form multiple sexual partners. That might be okay for some people but if reports are to be believed, if you tend to have a very high sexual drive, you’ll form multiple sexual partners and would never be able to settle with one person throughout your life. This could have drastic consequences. For starters, this feeling of instability might be fine for a short while, but in the long run, it tends to creep in, and fiddle with your psychology and almost disrupts it if stretched further. You’ll tend to get more impatient, and stress will eventually get over you.

There have been numerous instances where sex has been a problem for people. Too much of it is as dangerous as too less of it. You might know someone personally who is currently suffering from a similar situation, and we can almost confirm it to you that it’s not a good place to be in. Take these celebrities for example. They may be very successful in their professional domains, but a high sexual drive finally engulfed and destroyed their personal life to the point that they had to go to rehab centers and get themselves cured:

David Duchovny

He plays the character of a sex-obsessed writer in his TV show Californication. However, in 2009, his role took a new turn when it became hard for Duchovny to distinguish between his reel and real life. The result; he entered rehab for sex addiction, and that almost wreaked havoc upon his married life as he separated from his wife, Tea Leoni. It is imperative to have a normalcy in your life, and a high libido might sometimes urge you to look at people outside your marriage, and that has the potential to destroy your personal life.

Eric Benet

R&B and soul singer Eric Benet sought help at a sex addiction treatment center after his wife, Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry, discovered his infidelity. Despite his treatment, their marriage broke up in 2004, and he has since denied that he is a sex addict. As with most addictions, denial is a powerful barrier to treatment. It's very common for sex addicts to minimize their sexual behavior and ignore the damage it causes.

Charlie Sheen

Sheen’s sexual adventures came into the spotlight during the trial of Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss in 1994. He later testified that he had spent around $ 53,000 for the services of Fleiss’ prostitutes. If you want to know what sexual addiction can do to you, Sheen is perhaps the answer to your question. It makes you visit brothels regularly and spend that valuable cash in such unworthy acts.

Tiger Woods

Another significant impact that bad sexual habits can have on you is that they can leave an irremovable tarnish on your social reputation. No one has borne the brunt of this consequence more harshly than perhaps Woods himself. Before the revelation by several women of Woods’ sexual relationships with them, he was the superhero to an entire golfing generation. However, after the vulgar text messages by the golfer came to the public domain, he had to fight a lot to save his illustrious career and also had to go through a costly divorce. If you look at what happened to Woods after this incident; where he never could make a comeback to the golfing world and when he did come back, he didn’t have the same skills as a player anymore. Perhaps stress has completely got on to him, and now he remains injured most of the times because of it.

Michael Douglas

Michael Douglas was one of the first celebrities said to have a sex addiction. Indeed, his 1990 admission to an addiction treatment center first brought the concept of sex addiction to the public eye, although Douglas later said the reports of his sexual addiction were inaccurate. Behind the scenes, research into sex addiction had been going on since at least the early 1980s, but therapists argue over its nature and existence to this day.

These famous celebrities are clear examples as to why it is important to have a balance in your life. As mentioned earlier, your happiness can be determined by many other factors and your partner’s happiness plays a crucial role in it. If two people are happy together, they tend to live a longer and a healthier life. Now, celebrities can often get caught in provocative acts, but there are some who never stop to inspire. There are quite a few of them who have openly talked about how important it is to please your partner as it eventually makes you feel more capable and complete as a man.

Here are a few of them:

Chris Evans

Evans, feminist superhero? Not only did the actor tell Metro that it shouldn't matter how many sexual partners a woman has had, as he revealed to Cosmopolitan UK, he's learned the most about how to treat women from his mom.

Ashton Kutcher

Ryan Gosling

After the MPAA, aka the rating lords, slapped Blue Valentine with an NC-17 rating (ostensibly because of a scene in which Gosling's character performs oral sex on his wife), Gosling released a statement criticizing the "patriarchy-dominant society" that limits expressions of female sexuality.

James Deen

Deen may be one of the biggest porn stars in the business, but he has some surprisingly insightful views about how to treat a woman in bed. He told Men's Health you can't have sex with everyone the same way, and that sex without a conversation is pretty much pointless — and potentially damaging.

Louis CK

The comedian took aim at men's belief that women don't have as much sexual desire as they do and prefer little affection, pointing out that it's probably men's lack of attentiveness that's giving them that idea. Women, in fact, do want something more than cuddling. Great sex for both males and females means paying attention to what that is.

Russell Brand

Ladies first? When it comes to activities between the sheets, experts urge men to help their partner orgasm first; and Brand agrees. During an appearance on HuffPost Live, Brand maintained that guys should take pride in satisfying women.

Sexual Health is a part of your grooming. You have to care for it as much as you care for your hair and beard; because let’s face it, if you fail to manage a healthy sexual life it will eventually bear consequences on your life holistically. You have to be meticulous enough in what you eat, how much you eat, about your personal fitness, and most importantly about your sexual habits. You have to ensure that you check all the boxes that are necessary for an overall healthy life. The final word is, if you’re sexually healthy, that means you are physically and mentally healthy as well!
