You must not try to make too much of a big deal about psychological ED

A recent Ukmedix News survey shows that most men below 40 have suffered from at least one incident of complete erectile dysfunction. If this has happened to you it does not necessarily mean that you have a serious physical medical problem but you are probably suffering from something which is called psychological impotence or psychological erectile dysfunction.

Interestingly often men talk about how they suffered this condition when they were with a woman they very much wanted to have sex with, or they had been wanting to have sex with for sometime. In other cases psychological erectile dysfunction was reported when men said they felt guilty about sleeping with a particular woman and couldn’t rid themselves of the bad feelings.

One typical incident involved a 21 year old man who met the woman of his dreams and who had been fantasizing about her for months. When he finally was alone with her he was unable to perform which caused him excruciating embarrassment and he is now afraid to go out in the evening in case he bumps into her. He’s also terrified that she might tell her friends and make him a laughing stock.

Performance anxiety is often a term used to describe men who are nervous about a sexual encounter and this anxiety can overwhelm the body’s ability to produce an erection. Contrary to what most people think getting an erection involves the relaxation of muscles and therefore being tense is not conducive to good erectile function.

If this ever happens to you, you must remember that it is perfectly normal and you must try to relax. Talking about the problem with the person you are with is also known to take the burden of stress off the man and therefore increase his chances of getting an erection.

You must not try to make too much of a big deal about an incidence of psychological erectile dysfunction because it will only make things worse. The vast majority of cases of psychological impotence go away on their own but if they occur on a regular basis you should get yourself checked out by doctor to make sure that there are no underlying physical causes. As a last resort a doctor may recommend that you get counselling if you are still unable to get an erection due to psychological issues.

The drugs Viagra, Cialis and Levitra won’t actually directly cure the problem of psychological impotence but they may give the man confidence and this in turn will allow him to relax and therefore remove any performance anxiety.
