Summary
Male sexual desire is dependent on multiple factors, such as hormonal-testosterone secretion, neurological-Central Nervous System (CNS) integrity or neuroendocrine factors and sensitivity of brain receptors to androgen hormones located in the hypothalamic areas where steroid hormones feedback is closed, respectively the extrahypothalamic areas entangled
in the libido, as well as the genetic support of the person, the age of the biological the potential of the individual.
The eroticization of the brain occurs as a result of the excitation of the receptors in the genital areas and organs by imaginary factors or by the information of the erotic elements received by the analyzers and transmitted to the brain, which give the perception of female sensuality to the man. In the absence of brain eroticization, the exciting stimuli remain
simple information, without erotic impulse, without erection and therefore, without finality.
As the deterioration of sexual potency in the elderly is not only hormonal in nature, the decline in sexual activity is conditioned by multiple and complex factors. Among other things, these factors cause a decrease in sexual desire-libido, respectively the sexual capacity of the individual, a context in which the treatment of sexual dysfunction of the elderly
remains an insufficiently solved problem.
