Erectile Dysfunction

This is the classic ‘door-knob’ question. You have stood up to finish the appointment have your hand on the door when the chap finally asks the question that bought him to see you in the first place.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is obviously a common problem and surely everyone is aware of the drug solutions that are enthusiastically marketed in response however many men are not keen to use performance enhancing drugs and so want to know if there are any legitimate alternatives.

What we do have to offer are things that have been seen to consistently improve sexual energy for millennia. These are not fast acting medicines but they do seem to make a difference if given time to work.

Firstly though there is a simple question to know if the machinery is in proper working order.
Do you wake up with an erection or get one in the morning?

If the answer is yes then you are getting adequate blood flow but if you don’t seem to get an erection, ever, then the first place you have to look is at your heart health and how well your blood is circulating.

Most men who have ED are suffering from performance anxiety. They have had an initial bad experience and can directly track their troubles back to that one original time. If you are worried that you may not get or keep an erection, or that you won’t last long enough when you do then you can pretty much guarantee that this is exactly what will happen. The more it does happen the more you believe it is going to happen and the problem just keeps getting worse.

The lasting answer to this is not to make a mountain out of a molehill. If you start going to men’s clinics, taking Viagra, getting preoccupied with it, going into analysis over it, the one thing you can guarantee is that, whatever short term help you might get from pharmacy, the internal psychological belief that there really is something wrong with you will only get stronger.

I advocate a different approach and my male patients who have tried this have said it has quickly helped them to resolve their perfomance anxiety.The first thing is to find a way to tell your partner how you are feeling about the matter then secondly completely drop the expectation to have intercourse with penetration, just take it out of the equation until the problem is sorted. Instead of working towards penetration get into a lot of foreplay, fondling etc, preferably to the point of orgasm. Men find as they get into doing this that it gets steadily easier to get and sustain a good erection for longer and longer periods of time. You simply get your confidence back.

I can also confidently endorse several herbs to help with libido in general. You will get the best quality herbs at the right dosage from a herbalist, not from a supplier on the internet. There is more detail on this in the herbal A-Z under X-rated herbs.

Especially worth exploring in person are the two great tonic herbs Ginseng & Withania.
