Sexual
weakness
Sexual function is a complex blend of anatomic,
neurological, metabolic, endocrine and psychic factors an
important human activity. Sex is just not a physical
activity but also a mental relaxation and up
liftman.
If any one of the partners remain
dissatisfied, the family
life is disturbed. The male
partner always
worries of his ability to satisfy
his female counterpart. If there is an erection, retention and early
ejaculation problem then the male subject is designated as
sexual dysfunction.
A person who is unable to perform and maintain erection
sufficient for mutually satisfying intercourse is known as
klaibya or dhajabhanga. All the classical and compilation
work of Ayurveda deals with fertility, sexuality, its
problems and solution as well as positive health in a
separate chapter known as vajikarana tantra. Description
about vajikarana and klaibya are available in the entire
span ranging from Vedas to the present day text.Aim & objective of vajikarana tantra of
Ayurveda is very clear and comprehensive i.e., procreative
and recreative. This includes treating the mind as well as
body.Next to the need of food,
water and sleep, the sexual urge is the most powerful
biological drive. The importance of this aspect of human
life is duely recognised by Ayurvedic authority in a
separate section known is vajikarana tantra. The inability
to perform normal sexual desire and a willing partner is not
able to have coitus with her due
to lack of rigidity of the penis . Even if he manages to
have erection, his anxiety will cause attacks of dyspnoea
and profuse sweating and his attempts to have sex will
result in a failure.Maharshi
Vatsayan “Kamsutra” the famous book of sexology is mainly
related to reecreative & charak samhita described both
procreative and recreative.
