Naturopathic physician, Dr Sandra Ekwunife has said that most Nigerian men can’t go for more than one round of sex at a time because of weak erection or premature ejaculation.

However, she said if a man could maintain a rock – hard erection and could hold on for 30 minutes to one hour, even a nympho should be absolutely satisfied.

She opined that if a man could hold on for his partner to orgasm, the question of how many rounds that was involved during the intercourse may not arise.

Ekwunife said that the important point is for a man to last long enough to satisfy his partner, stressing that a one round of intensive encounter lasting between 30 and 45 minutes from foreplay to orgasm will be moderately satisfying to an average couple than to have 10 rounds in 10 minutes.

Her words: “The big question, why most Nigerian men can’t go for more than one round? It still amounts to the same problem of weak erection and premature ejaculation. If a man could maintain a rock-hard erection and could hold on for 30 minutes to one hour, even a nympho should be absolutely satisfied. If a man could simply hold on for his partner to orgasm, we may not be counting how many rounds he went.

“A man may go for 10 rounds in 10 minutes while another may go for one round in one hour. So, in my personal opinion, I think the important point is for a man to last long enough to satisfy his partner. The truth is that one round of intensive encounter lasting between 30 and 45 minutes from foreplay to orgasm will be moderately satisfying to an average couple. So, the issue of how many rounds does not hold water, rather we should focus our attention on how long round lasts.

“Erectile dysfunction or impotence is the inability to obtain and or sustain an erection. It is estimated that about 40 per cent of men will have chronic erectile dysfunction at some point in their lives and most men suffering from impotence are above 40. But there are still a few younger men below 40 who suffer from this problem today.”

“There are so many causes of erectile dysfunction or impotence – Habitual fatigue syndrome, stress – both physical, emotional and psychological, alcohol over-indulgence, obesity or over weight and pot belly, pile, constipation, diabetes, high blood pressure, infection – most sexually transmitted ones.

“Some cases can also be related to the medications used in treatment of some health conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, insomnia and executive stress, etc.

“Is there a cure for erectile dysfunction? In orthodox practice, I don’t think there’s any medicine that permanently cures impotence. But in naturopathy, I will say a resounding “yes”, because I have seen the miracle that is possible only in nature. As a naturopathic physician, I wont give you ‘sex stimulant’ – I’d firstly trace the genealogy of the condition and depending on the diagnosis, I’d offer help and that most often include correcting anomalies, balancing key body energies and energizing the weak points to bring about a perfect harmony.

Within three days of treatment, your body, mind and spirit will come alive. I speak from experience. We treat with standardized herbs. It doesn’t matter how long the condition has lasted – once treatment is initiated, the result must follow.

Since impotence is the inability to obtain and or sustain an erection, weak erection could well be referred to as partial impotence. When a man can obtain an erection but is unable to sustain it long enough to penetrate and deposit semen after copulation, it could simply be referred to as weak erection.

“Premature ejaculation could be defined as ejaculation that occurs too early before both partners desire it to occur.

There are documented cases of some men ejaculating within two minutes of penetration. Usually, this leaves women both aroused and frustrated. And you must agree with me that this is a dangerous combination. Imagine arousing a woman during a lengthy foreplay and just as she allows penetration and then relaxes for the show to begin, the shower comes and its all over. If this happens on a daily basis, then anything can happen believe me, it is more frustrating than weak erection.

Premature ejaculation can cause infertility. Yes. It most often does. Just as impotence and weak erection could make penetration impossible or difficult, premature ejaculation could prevent the sperm from being deposited right inside the vaginal tube. In fact, some men ejaculate before penetration, yes it could be that bad.

“Testing the sperm is one of the easiest fertility tests. A man can easily walk into a lab and request for a sperm test. It is called ‘Semen Analysis’. But when the result is out, you’d used the services of a physician to analyze it. Your doctor will look at several factors including the number of sperm that is present in the sperm (sperm count) the shape of that sperm (morphology) and how the sperm swim (motility). And there are two problematic conditions as it affects sperm count that only semen analysis can clearly point them out – oligosperms and azoospermia.

“Oligospermia is the production of too little sperm. Clinically, oligospermia is defined as less than 20 million sperm per millimeter of semen. The average being between 60 million and 120 million.

“While azoospermia is a condition in which the man produces no sperm. This is pain condition is very uncommon though. Azoospermia can be both permanent and reversible. The permanent case of azoospermia is where he man is sterile and this could be caused by many factors in the man’s life including congenital issues, testicular injuries or even genetical issues. But the reversible cases could be that, caused by infection. And if the infection is completely treated, the azoospermia may be corrected.

“The problems stated above respond very well to herbal treatment. Self-medication is really not an option when we discuss about sperm issues.

“Is there a remedy for weak erection and premature ejaculation? Oh yes, we have a perfect solution to these embarrassing conditions. Even in our local communities, we have preparations commonly referred to as “Man-power”. The Hausas call it ‘Burantashi’, the Igbos call it ‘Ike agwu nwa nkpi’ and the Yorubas call it ‘Mokole’. Our forefathers used them to take care of themselves. The only difference today being that the herbs are standardized and hence, safer than before. So, you have a perfect solution in nature.
