INTRODUCTION
ОглавлениеThe wisdom of my grandfathers
stuck in my head:
we were born to enjoy work, fight, love,
we were born for this and for nothing else.
Isaak Babel
The Armenian painter Aram Vramshapu Vanetsian in early 1939 began writing I. Babel’s portrait which turned out to be the last lifetime portrait of the writer (repressed and shot at the age of 46, January 1940).
Isaak Babel
A serious scientific question can be put to Babel’s words. If he is right, then the male mortality at a relatively young age is the result of the biological characteristics of the male body and its functioning.
Further presentation of the material is a search for the answer.
We searched for the answer proceeding from the following provisions:
1. “Human evolution is an important part of the universal evolution as an open nonlinear system, and the most complex one” (V. E. Klochko, 2017).
2. “A person is such a level of system research, when the not very favorite word “system” can be quite adequately replaced by the more euphonic concept of “integrity” (I. Prigogine, 1986).
3. “A person is an integrative entity” possessing the brain and higher nervous activity (HNA) owing to which an internal notional subjective world is formed, including:
Conscious triunity (biological/psychic/social);
“appropriate” part of information from outside, from the collective unconscious;
the soul of a particular person (“affective/emotional clot”);
will and faith.
4. The psychology of the development of culture and religion led us to the need not to ignore the stages of development of the studied paradigms both in phylo- and ontogenesis.
5. The analytical interdisciplinary system adaptive approach was used.
Analyzing the phenomenon under study or the psychic paradigm, metaphors were often used. “In the era of changing paradigms and great breaks, the science starts to use the language of metaphors. To denote new phenomena, established concepts are insufficient” (T. Kuhn, 1975).
6. Research material:
rich clinical experience of working as urologist/sexopathologist;
rich clinical experience of working as psychiatrist/stressologist;
achievements of science in the field of studied paradigms

With a feeling of deep gratitude we remember our patients. Communication and working with each of them enriched our experience. They left a particle of themselves in drawings that we used in this book. Patients’ names are not indicated here because of compliance with medical ethics.
