Men need to feel confident and comfortable when they make love

Recently Ukmedix News heard of a case of a man who was suffering from erectile dysfunction but only when he was with his wife. He claimed that he found his wife very attractive sexually but when she touched him he immediately lost his erection. He said the thinking about her and being with her in bed was enough to get him physically excited but the moment he initiated physical contact with her he was unable to maintain his erection.

This is pretty unusual but is a clear case of psychological erectile dysfunction. The good news for this man is that because he is able to sustain an erection at all means that the physical apparatus is in good working order and that is not suffering from any arterial blockages which are the main cause of erectile dysfunction.

The reason why he is suffering from this problem is somewhere deep in his subconscious and he may be himself not be fully aware of it. It could be that he feels guilt or insecurity when he attempts to make love to his wife and this causes his erection problem. Another reason may be that he suffers from performance anxiety which means that he is concerned that he is not performing properly in bed and thus he loses his confidence. Men need to feel confident and comfortable when they make love in order to perform well.

If you are having issues with erections you must first work out whether you are suffering from physical erectile dysfunction or psychological erectile dysfunction. If you are unable to get an erection at anytime you are likely to be suffering from the physical condition. If however you are able to get full erections in certain situations but not in others you are likely to be suffering from the psychological version of erectile dysfunction.

If you are suffering from psychological erectile dysfunction as a last resort you may need to see a counsellor and talk about your problems with them. However by talking to your sexual partner and explaining the problem you could probably get some results. You may just be stressed, anxious about your performance especially if you have failed to get an erection on quite a few occasions. A hot bath, some relaxing music, lots of foreplay and an understanding partner could be all you need.
