At
some point, most men probably wonder whether they might have a hypersensuality
problem or whether that always-ready hard male organ is just part of being a
man. Clearly, a tool that is always at the ready is a sign of good male
organ health, but even so, the possibility that he may have a
hypersensuality problem can make a man feel quite uncomfortable. So how is a
guy supposed to tell if he is addicted?
What
is hypersensuality?
Hypersensuality
is a cause for enormous debate among the medical and psychiatric communities.
Some people believe that there is no such thing; others believe that it most
certainly does exist. But even among the latter group, there is a range of
opinions concerning how to define it – and how to diagnose it.
Writing
on PsychCentral, Robert Weiss, LCSW, CSAT-S, defines hypersensuality as “a
dysfunctional preoccupation with sensual fantasy, often in combination with the
obsessive pursuit of casual or non-intimate relations … compulsive manual
stroking; romantic intensity and objectified partner relations for a period of
at least six months.”
Weiss
also states that an addiction may exist if this obsessive behavior continues
despite efforts to stop it and despite the impact that it has on relationships,
social life and work. He compares it to other obsessive addictive behaviors
like gambling and binge eating.
If
it feels good, is it addiction?
One
of the traits of hypersensuality is that intimate contact is often used to make
a person feel better; rather than soothing oneself in a non-sensual manner or
talking to others about problems they are experiencing, addicts tend to turn to
sensual behaviors to reduce feelings of anxiety and stress.
That
does not mean that a guy who occasionally fondles his tool when he’s feeling
stressed or seeks to bed someone when he’s blue is an addict; but if this kind
of behavior occurs with great frequency and if it cannot really be controlled
by the man, then an addiction is quite likely.
The
un-controlled aspect is key; many men have extremely high drives and engage in
intimate contact with an above average frequency; but they do this by choice.
So, just because it feels good to have relations and a man does it often does
not mean he has an addiction.
Seeking
help
If
a man does think that perhaps his sensual activity goes beyond normal and has
the possibility of being an addiction, he should definitely seek help. There
are recovery programs that can provide support and aid in dealing with the
issue. Mental health professionals, such as psychotherapists, psychiatrists and
some social workers, are another resource; those with training in cognitive
behavioral therapy (CBT) can men develop strategies to meet their
hypersensuality challenges. Certain medications, such as SSRIs (often used in
treating depression and anxiety), may be prescribed by doctors to help control
sensually compulsive behaviors; various mood stabilizers may also be used.
Seeking help for a hypersensuality is very important; as more becomes known
about this condition in future years, more therapies will be developed to help
those suffering from it.
Many
men who experience a hypersensuality engage in intimate contact so frequently
or with such aggressive behavior that their hard male organ can become damaged
– raw and sore or even de-sensitized -- due to rough handling. And it’s not
just hypersensual men who encounter this; many men find themselves in the same
boat. This is why it’s crucial that men make a habit of using a superior male organ health cream (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil) on a regular basis. A cream with shea
butter and vitamin E will nourish and moisturize the skin; if the cream also
contains acetyl L carnitine, which is neuroprotective, it can help restore
sensitivity lost due to peripheral nerve damage caused by rough use. And if
L-arginine is also present in the cream, there will be a benefit to male organ
blood flow, as that ingredient aids the process which keeps blood vessels open.
