Male Sexuality > Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile Dysfunction, often referred to as Impotence is the regular
or irregular inability to achieve and/
or maintain an erect penis sufficient to complete
intercourse to satisfaction for both man and woman.
It has been reported in medical journals that
impotence affects between 10 - 20 percent of all men
in Western countries and 20 percent of these may be
considered chronic with about half of all adult men
in the world experiencing occasional impotence.
Note that impotence should not be
confused with male infertility. They are two totally
different conditions; a man unable to maintain an
erection may be perfectly normal in every other way
including the fathering children.
SYMPTOMS
Some
of the symptoms are:
- A
lack in sexual confidence or interest
- A
change in the quality of erections.
- The
inability to have or maintain an erection
upon waking up in the morning.
- Persistence
of the disorder for more than three months.
CAUSES
The most common causes are:
- Any
Stress factors, performance anxiety, boredom,
depression, low self-esteem.
- Difficulties
and unresolved tensions within relationships.
- Processed
and convenience foods are a major cause of a
great many health disorders.
- Diseases
like diabetes, kidney disease, chronic
alcoholism, multiple sclerosis,
atherosclerosis and vascular disease.
- Surgery
(prostatectomy, orchiectomy, radiation
therapy or penile implants) which may have
damaged nerves and arteries near the penis.
- Medications
like blood pressure drugs, antihistamines,
antidepressants, tranquillisers and appetite
suppressants.
- Smoking
- Hormonal
deficiencies.
- Excessive
consumption of alcohol.
- Neurological
problems (injury, trauma or disease)
PREVENTION
Erectile
Dysfunction often increases progressively with age
and yet it is not an inevitable consequence of aging.
The following steps can be taken to minimise the
risks of erectile dysfunction:

to manage the stresses in life.

your relationships healthy and vibrant in
every way.

to help keep the whole body in tune.

education, understanding your body and
sexuality will assist.
- Avoid
excessive smoking and alcohol consumption.
DIAGNOSIS
There
are numerous methods of diagnosing this condition
which differ around the world:
Typically
a doctor will question you about your sexual history
including the nature and onset of problems,
frequency, quality and duration of erections, past
and present medical problems, medications,
psychological history, current stresses, anxieties or
problems and about how your relationships are.
This
consultation will typically include an examination of
the genital area and a digital rectal examination to
check for prostate abnormalities. Blood tests will be
taken to check testosterone and prolactin levels,
thyroid and adrenal gland dysfunction and other
conditions like hypertension, diabetes,
atherosclerosis, and nerve damage.
CURES
Medically speaking, there is no cure for
anything, however there are many things which can
have a positive effect and help to restore normal
function:
- Counselling
and meditation can reveal the root causes of
this problem.
- Changing
any medications which may cause erectile
dysfunction as a side effect.
- Diet
and exercise
- Dietary
supplements
- Understanding
your Penis
Natural Supplements
A healthy diet is often difficult to achieve and can
be supplemented with.
Dietary Guidelines
Most
impotence originates from poor diet and nutrition.
- If
you are over weight, the first step is to
lose weight.
- Improving
diet can reduce and even improve this problem
tremendously.
- Eat
a fresh, organic, high vegetable diet, which
should include green, leafy vegetables.
- Reduce
red meat consumption.
- Avoid
smoking and alcohol.
Home Care Suggestions
- A
key factor in impotence is life style; try
not smoking or drinking alcohol.
- Take
alternating hot and cold showers to improve
your circulation.
- Massages
and aromatherapy help the body and the body
system to relax.
- Learn
massage so that you and your partner can
massage each other.
- Learn
about tantric sex and experiment with out
being fixed on any goals.
Summary
Take an active interest in your life,
relationships and your body, especially your penis
and sexuality. Usually any problem in life, once you
identify the cause, the problem is solved and steps
can be taken to make good.
And as much as there is a mass of medical knowledge,
with all its diagnostic equipment and massive array
of drugs, they will never match the advantages of a
healthy diet and lifestyle. The products here however are a
temporary solution.

Joke:
After a few years of married life, this guy finds
that he is unable to perform anymore. He goes to his doctor, and his
doctor tries a few things, but nothing works. Finally the doctor
says to him, "This is all in your mind," and refers him to a
psychiatrist.
After a few visits to the shrink, the shrink confesses, "I am at a
loss as to how you could possible be cured." Finally, the
psychiatrist refers him to a witch doctor.
The witch doctor tells him, "Sure, I can cure this," and throws some
powder on a flame. There is a flash with billowing blue smoke. The
witch doctor says, "This is powerful healing, but you can only use
it once a year! All you have to do is say '1-2-3' and it shall rise
for as long as you wish!"
The guy then asks the witch doctor, "What happens when it's over?"
The witch doctor says, "All you have to do is say, '1-2-3-4' and it
will go down. But, be warned, It will not work again for another
year."
The guy goes home, and that night he is ready to surprise his wife
with the good news. So, he is lying in bed with her and says,
"1-2-3," and suddenly he gets an erection. His wife turns over and
says, "What did you say '1-2-3' for?" Thanks to
