Hypertension, diabetes and atherosclerosis could factor in the inability to get an erection before and during sex, but for a man who shows little or no medical signs of these things, an episode of sexual dysfunction could be traumatic at least. Stress-related erectile dysfunction is a lot more complicated than a disease-related one because with the former, an outlook change is required, while the latter could be dealt with by a simple visit to the doctor and following a strict regimen. Proper diet and exercise have been touted as effective stress busters, and they are.

Stress management need not be rocket science. Take time off during the day to check out the local scenery in a park near you. Spend time with friends and family in a barbecue event or a fair in another city. Remove stress, have more fun, take time off and just wallow in the fact that you are alive and successful. Men in their fifties who are still single are very attractive to women because of what they represent… the man who has seen all and knows how to live life to the fullest.

More importantly, take time off to make love. If a stress-ridden guy needs help with erection problems, he can avail of alternative medicines that can be purchased over the internet. Buying herbal blue pills in the privacy of one’s home is recommended for a man who doesn’t feel like sharing his secret for lasting sexual power with the world.

When a man who suspects that he has erectile dysfunction enters a urologist’s clinic, the most probable questions he will hear first are the following:

1. Do you have erections during the night? and,
2. Do you wake up during the morning with an erection?

These particular questions are relevant to your case because by answering these honestly, the physician can immediately gauge whether your erection problem is bio-physically caused (a side effect of various drugs, and a symptom of diseases like atherosclerosis, diabetes and cancer) or psychosocially induced (performance anxiety, ego issues, depression, lack of trust in one’s ability to make love and others).

This video, Urologist Discusses ED, is taken from the Health Talk Show Interview with Domenico Manzone M.D, a practicing urologist, and is very informative. It tackles the causes of erection disorders and clarifies most hearsays related to this debilitating disease in men. He also touches on the treatments that men can avail of to improve their erections and over all sexual health. Most importantly, his message zeroes in on the importance of maintaining a good erection during sex and how one can distinguish whether an erection problem is caused by abnormalities in bodily function or ‘it’s all in the mind’.

One interesting point of discussion that he mentioned was related to andropause, the stage in a man’s life when he exhibits symptoms strikingly similar to those in women in menopause. He states that erection problems in 45 year old men may be caused by coronary arterial diseases, age related diseases and metabolism failure (diabetes). He also points out that men with known heart diseases will most likely have erection disorders.

He amusedly mentioned the irrelevance of some Humphrey Bogart movies where the hero is seen puffing incessantly on a cigarette and then gives a woman mind blowing sex; tagging these movies as misleading because smoking is a known risk factor of ED. Towards the end, he states that if he determines a case as not emotionally induced, the first step to ED recovery can be a visit to a cardiologist.

Since Viagra became the most popular drug for erection disorder treatment, media has not been shy about its perception and mirth at Viagra use and men who have erectile dysfunction. Erection problems can be a pain, and can be seriously damaging to most men, but somehow, seeing the parodies of Viagra use and erection disorders in movies takes the edge off. For a reason, the idea of men gleefully getting hard or using Viagra as a prank tickles a lot of people.

Here are some popular movies that featured Viagra use or erection disorders.

Tom Cats (2001) – Some well meaning fellow placed a few tablets of ground Viagra in a bottle of wine intended for the newly wed’s honeymoon, but the gesture resulted in a few tipsy and utterly embarrassed groomsmen showing huge erections during the wedding ceremony. The funniest scene included the hesitation of the groomsmen to go to the altar, and when they finally did (with their hardened members standing at attention).

What Women Want (2000) – When the main character, Nick (Mel Gibson) found out that he can hear women’s thoughts, he experienced performance anxiety during sex with a sultry barista who has a crush on him. Nick excused himself to go to the bathroom wherein he simultaneously reprimanded his little soldier about the job at hand.

40 Days and 40 Nights (2002) – After a bitter breakup, Matt Sullivan (Josh Hartnett) took on the seemingly impossible dare to go celibate for 40 days and 40 nights. His friends, who betted against his vow, put Viagra in his drink to make the task even more difficult. An older colleague drank the OJ by mistake and was last seen pleasuring himself over a porn magazine in the men’s room.

While it is often assumed that other people will make you feel uncomfortable about your erection troubles and could crack impotence jokes) behind your back, there are those who will be genuinely interested in your plight and even offer honest, good natured advice that works. Some men friends (and even women) can easily relate to sexual dysfunction problems because (a) they could be going through the same thing, or (b) they could be successfully recovering from erectile dysfunction but didn’t tell anyone about it for fear of being laughed at (does this sound familiar or what?).

The biggest breakthrough that a guy could encounter in his quest to curing his ED is opening up to friends. You would be amazed to find out that pretty much all of your men friends have had experiences related with not being able to get erect during sex. This will encourage discussion and you could form a small ED help group. This way, a man could feel that there wasn’t just something fundamentally wrong with him and that others are sharing his pain. To keep it succinct: “it isn’t just you, man.” Once you have the encouragement of your peers, particularly those who have gone through erection problems, you will be lot less nervous about the situation.

Everyone in your small group could research ways to increase libido and performance during sex. For those who really want to increase sexual stamina, we recommend herbal Viagra, a botanical drug that works with the same efficacy as Viagra, but without the side effects associated with sildenafil citrate.

Not many people know that one of the greatest factors causing impotence is being overweight. More than the physical factors (predisposition to diabetes, hypertension and the like), being ‘big boned’ could make someone feel inferior to those who managed to keep their bodies fit. Some obese men have accepted their weight problems and have learned to increase their self esteem despite being unhealthily rotund; but acceptance of one’s weight problem does not mean doing something to decrease the likelihood of contracting serious diseases and developing erection disorders.

Overweight people have more cholesterol and plaque in their body than those who are reasonably fit. Also, the heart of overweight people must work twice or even thrice as hard to pump oxygen containing blood around their body. A healthy blood circulation is very important to a couple’s sex life, and this fact alone should be initiative enough to keep a healthy lifestyle.

A guy could start with a diet that encompasses those he likes to eat on a regular basis. Going on a diet need not make a man suffer. This diet includes burgers, pizza, hot dogs, lasagna, pot roast, tacos and scrambled eggs. Using the Glycemic Index which contains good carbs; these meals are perfectly portioned to give you the right balance of fats, carbs, calories, and proteins. The trick is knowing when to eat them and the frequency of meals.

Weight management will definitely boost your bedroom game. Doing something to make yourself feel good will banish thoughts related with performance anxiety; and you will not need to find excuses to hide your body during sex. If you need a boost in the right direction, safe but effective ED medication can help improve erection power and increase stamina during the sex act.

The first step to understanding how blood flows to the penis to create an erection, and how erection subsides by blood drainage is by differentiating veins and arteries. Veins carry the deoxygenated blood back to the heart, while arteries carry the oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body. These vascular components work together to improve erection by effectively drawing blood in the penis. Good function of arteries and veins lead to the proper coming and going of blood, which is needed to maintain an erection throughout the time needed for satisfying sex. Vascular surgery is one way to cure erectile dysfunction in males. This option, however, is not available to every man who might want to try it.

Penile arterial revascularization is meant to maintain blood flow by allowing blood to move around a blocked or injured vessel. This method of erection disorder treatment can only be done in young men (under 45) with no known risk factors for atherosclerosis or other cardiovascular diseases. Once deemed fit, the man can avail of this type of surgery to alleviate impotence and bring back his sexual prowess.

Men who might have contracted penile injury from sports activities, accidents or other means need to correct any vessel injury at the base of the penis for strong erections to occur again. Injuries such as these result to severely damaged penile vessels that are too injured or blocked to transfer blood. Surgery will microscopically connect a nearby artery to another one, like a detour, creating a functional pathway for erection-inducing blood.

What is a typical guy? A guy is considered normal or typical when he is just like the multitude of other guys in the world. Work or school, go home, go dating during the weekend, does not risk too much of his health by doing unsavory activities.. etc. Even without serious disease affliction (diabetes, hypertension) an even at the peak of health, typically healthy guys who have girlfriends or wives, can contract erectile dysfunction symptoms… seemingly from out of nowhere.

Here are some reasons for Erection Problems among these men:

Being Comfortable. I don’t just mean with a girlfriend or a wife, but with all women in general. While men will turn their heads at nicely shaped bosoms and beautifully formed lower back parts, it’s completely different when the guy shares the same bed with a woman. The level of comfort changes, and sometimes too much excitement at the thought of a woman in bed with him push guys to orgasm too fast, or to not orgasm a all (due to self-imposed pressure). This means that if a guy could make it past the first few mishaps (condom not getting put on, etc) with a girl, it would be smooth sailing from there on out.

Alcohol Intake. Alcohol in small doses helps in loosening up inhibitions, and creating an aura of exciement around the guy. Alcohol in large doses makes a guy lose all sensitivity on his penis, his mind is drunk and cannot process sexual stimuli.
