A trend that seems to be appearing all over the developed world is the one of younger men going out with and getting married to older women. Typically the man will be his late 20' and the woman will be in her late 30's. There are a number of reasons for this trend but probably the most significant one is the growing number of independent, sexually confident and demanding women.

Today many women think that they have a right to good sex and that if they can't get it from men their own age they will look for it elsewhere and this means younger men are in the firing line. As men age their sexual stamina slows down and many of them begin to suffer from mild forms of erectile dysfunction. This can be more prevalent especially if the man is overweight, a regular smoker and drinker and is generally unhealthy. Having a good and healthy heart is important for sexual function and stamina.

The amount of women having toy boys was very small a decade ago but the number of older women seeking younger mates has dramatically risen. Even celebrities are jumping on the band wagon with Demi Moore probably being the most famous older woman with a younger man. Women say that the amount of men of their own age with the same sexual stamina is less and that they can't find these men.

The media is busily promoting the lifestyles of these independent and sexually voracious women and even TV shows like Desperate Housewives are making the older woman, younger man lifestyle popular. Women also like the confidence boost they get from being with such young men and the fact that younger men have more sexual stamina and that they are less set in their ways, more easy going and can be manipulated more easily.

One of the biggest causes of erectile dysfunction and lack of stamina among men is performance anxiety. With this new breed of sexually demanding and confident woman around, men can often feel intimidated by sex with them and this can lead to a poor performance and even complete erectile dysfunction. Doctors are noting that more cases of performance anxiety related erectile dysfunction are being reported to them and this type of ED can be sometimes complicated to treat as it involves psychological factors.

Certain erectile dysfunction drugs like Viagra, Cialis and Levitra have helped with the problem of performance anxiety and general ED in older men but deep rooted psychological fear of failing in bed with a sexually demanding woman can need more than a dose of Viagra.

The good news is however that the number of men seeking help for erectile dysfunction is on the increase and that big drug companies were doing their utmost to improve information and knowledge on the subject of erectile dysfunction and impotence which was bringing the ED out a taboo area into mainstream conversation. Most types of erectile dysfunction are easy to diagnose and simple to cure and a man can change his whole outlook on life with the simple step of going to visit a doctor and getting proper professional help.
