Massages and other forms of nonsexual contact should be used
Most cases of erectile dysfunction are a simple blood flow problem to your penile artery and these are dealt with normally by using the erectile dysfunction medicines Viagra, Cialis and Levitra. The other type of erectile dysfunction is psychological and can happen for a number of reasons such as a man not feeling confident about his sexual ability which is normally called performance anxiety. If a man suffers from an episode of psychologically related erectile dysfunction he may be anxious that it will occur again and thus he will be again unable to sustain an erection. Psychological erectile dysfunction can be a sort of vicious circle which gets worse every time.
It is important that a man snaps out of this cycle of performance anxiety and there are a number of methods in which a man can cure himself of this psychological impotence. The treatment for psychological erectile dysfunction is designed to remove the anxiety and stress related to having to have sex. The best way to start is to speak to your girlfriend or wife and tell her that you will not be trying to have sex for some time and explain that this is to remove the pressure on you.
You should try to get intimate with your partner but not in an overtly sexual way. Massages and other forms of nonsexual contact should be used to completely relax you and make you feel totally comfortable with your partner. After some time you will probably find that you get aroused anyway but you should not rush into sexual intercourse immediately.
You should only attempt sexual intercourse very gradually and should stop immediately should you feel anxious about continuing or if you start to suffer from a loss of erection. There are whole ranges of relaxation techniques which you could use to get into the mood for sex such as having a hot bath, going into a sauna. Using special aromatherapy oils for massages can also be effective.
Good sex is all about feeling relaxed and you should make an extra effort to create a calm environment for both you and your partner before sex.
