Stamina refers to enduring strength and energy. Male stamina typically means the duration and virulence of a man’s sexual performance.

There are many factors that play a role in male stamina and it can be difficult to diagnose a problem. We will discuss here the different characteristics and how you might be able to tell where you can improve. Once you’ve taken this self-assessment quiz, talk to your doctor about the results.

The first factor for male stamina is libido. While often misunderstood, this instinctive drive to procreate comes from an area in the brain that is also responsible for aggression. If you’ve become less interested in sex and have become more timid, it is possible that depression is playing a role. Libido is, essentially, a physiologic state of mind. That is, it can have an effect on sexual relations similar to depression or lack of intimacy in a relationship.

Second, physical conditioning is a very important consideration in problems of stamina. If you have become more complacent in lifestyle and don’t exercise this is certainly an area for improvement if you want to increase your sexual stamina.

Third, cardiovascular disease is responsible for problems with male stamina for many men. This is potentially the most serious category of stamina barriers. I don’t just mean you should do more cardiovascular exercise, but that you should also be evaluated to make sure you don’t have heart or blood vessel disease that may actually make prolonged sexual activity dangerous.

In fact, symptoms of erectile dysfunction can be a serious manifestation of underlying cardiovascular disease and put the patient into a higher risk category for severe events, such as heart attack or stroke.

Talk with your doctor to make sure you are cleared to begin an exercise program, and take care of your body. Stay close and honest in your relationships and take symptoms of erectile dysfunction seriously.
