John leans back against the headboard, pillows propped behind his shoulders, staring out the window. Linda lies on her side, facing away from him. She is curled into a ball with the covers pulled up over her shoulder. He knows she is awake, but she won’t talk to him. It’s not her fault -- he knows it’s not her fault. It wasn’t all that long ago they enjoyed a fulfilling sex life. Now whenever they go to bed together, John finds himself nervous & wracked with anxiety, as if he were losing his virginity each time. Or trying to. Why won’t his body do what he wants it to do?

Though hidden behind bedroom doors, John’s anguish is shared by many men. It’s called Erectile Dysfunction, & it’s very serious business. But what exactly is Erectile Dysfunction? Technically speaking, Erectile Dysfunction (or ED) is a condition in which a man cannot get or sustain an erection long enough to reach orgasm or to satisfy the sexual needs of his partner. Most men experience this inability at some point in their lives, usually by age 40, but r not psychologically affected by it. Some men with ED may only be affected by partial or brief erections, on occasion. The most seriously afflicted men suffer the chronic & complete inability to achieve erection (impotence). A severe case of ED can cause emotional & relationship problems, & often leads to diminished self-esteem. ED is treatable at any age, & awareness of this fact has been growing. More men have been seeking help & returning to normal sexual activity thanks to improved, successful treatments for ED.

Although ED is not necessarily a consequence of age, it is a condition whose frequency increases with age. Roughly 25% of men 65 & older suffer from ED to some degree or another. Alarming as the statistic may seem at first, it is important to realize ED is considered a medical problem only if it lasts for more than three months. Because the severity of ED spans such a wide range - anything from occasional, brief erections to full-blown impotence - precisely defining it & estimating its incidence is difficult. Estimates range from 15 million to 30 million, depending on the definition used.

According to the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS), for every 1,000 men in the United States, 7.7 physician office visits were made for ED in 1985. By 1999, that rate had nearly tripled to 22.3. The increase happened gradually, presumably as treatments such as vacuum devices & injectable drugs became more widely available & discussion of erectile dysfunction became more accepted.

Physiology of Erection
In order to understand ED, u have to study the inner-workings of the penis & what happens to it as it becomes erect. The physiological process of erection begins in the brain & involves the nervous & vascular systems. Neurotransmitters in the brain (e.g., epinephrine, acetylcholine, nitric oxide) r the primary chemicals which get the process going. Physical or psychological stimulation (arousal) increases the production of the key neurotransmitters & triggers the nerves into sending messages throughout the body. Many of these messages r directed to the vascular system, especially in the genital area, & result in a significant increase in blood flow to the penis. Two arteries in the penis supply blood to the corpora cavernosa & to its surrounding erectile tissue. The spongy tissue of the corpora cavernosa engorges with blood & expands due to the increased blood flow & pressure. Erectile tissue enclosed by fibrous elastic sheathes (tunicae) surrounds the corpora cavernosa. Because the blood must stay in the penis to maintain rigidity, neurotransmitters r summoned into action. They stimulate nerves at just the right time to cinch the erectile tissue & prevent blood from leaving the penis during erection. When stimulation ends, or following ejaculation, pressure in the penis decreases, blood is released, & the penis resumes its flaccid state.

Causes: Physical vs. Psychological
Since an erection requires a precise sequence of events, ED can occur when any of the events is disrupted. Damage to nerves, arteries, smooth muscles, & fibrous tissues, often as a result of disease, is the most common cause of ED. Diseases--such as diabetes, kidney disease, chronic alcoholism, multiple sclerosis, atherosclerosis, vascular disease, & neurologic disease--account for about 70 percent of ED cases. Between 35 & 50 percent of men with diabetes experience ED. Also, surgery (especially radical prostate surgery for cancer) can injure nerves & arteries near the penis, causing ED. In addition, many common medicines--blood pressure drugs, antihistamines, antidepressants, tranquilizers, appetite suppressants, & cimetidine (an ulcer drug)--can produce ED as a side effect.

“My man is diabetic & has been experiencing some difficulties in this area.not so much getting an erection but maintaining it & having an orgasm. This is a distubing thing only because we both have questioned our abilities & personal worth.” - Clitical Member

Experts believe that psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, guilt, depression, low self-esteem, & fear of sexual failure cause 10 to 20 percent of ED cases. Men with a physical cause for ED frequently experience the same sort of psychological reactions (stress, anxiety, guilt, depression).

“I've had problems with acheving erection when I really should have been trying to get some sleep. Stressed out & tired dos not do much for performance. Really had nothing to do with my partner had more to do with the eight-to-five. Do not assume it is ur problem. Encourage him to get some rest. Possibly go fishing or some other ''guys time off.'' - Clitical Member

Other possible causes r smoking, which affects blood flow in veins & arteries, & hormonal abnormalities, such as not enough testosterone.

Yet one more possibility is having a new partner or trying a new activity, such as oral sex or a different position.

“I've only had trouble orgasming when I frist started to receive oral sex. The first few times my girlfriend tried & tried she did it just coudlnt' happen no matter what she or I did.” - Clitical Member

“The only time I've had a problem achieving an erection is when I first started making love. I remember it was when I was trying out the doggy style position for the first time. I could not get it (the position - not my penis) to work quite right & I panicked. Well, when I panicked, my penis quickly grew flaccid. It happened every time I would try doggy style intercourse until I finally became confident enough with the missionary position that I felt I could overcome my doggy-style problem, as I knew it was directly related to the stress of not being confident in myself. I have not had the problem since then.” - Clitical Member

AGE-RELATED PHYSICAL HEALTH ISSUES
Women from different generations have contrasting attitudes & values regarding sexuality. These attitudes & values have health care implications. In general terms, younger women may view the sudden loss of a sexual partner due to illness or traumatic injury as catastrophic. For an older woman, the gradual decline in sexual interest & activity may be considered a normal part of the aging process.

It is important to be aware of the many sexual changes associated with aging for both men & women. They include Testosterone decrease, decrease in the production of sperm, change in the size of testes & viscosity & volume of ejaculate.
Additional changes include slowed response/excitement, more stimulation is required, erection becomes less firm, orgasms r of shorter duration, & multi-orgasmic capacity is impaired.

PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH ISSUES
FLUCTUATIONS IN SEXUAL DESIRE
Sex therapists document that low sexual desire is the number one complaint that brings couples into treatment. Many professionals believe that if u do not have sexual thoughts, fantasies or urges more than two times a month, there may be a problem. This yardstick is certainly arbitrary, but when either or both partners avoid sexual activity on a regular basis, something is amiss.

Women reach their orgasmic prime in their forties & fifties. It is not unusual for a mid-to-post menopausal woman to experience an increase in sexual interest as she ages. Simultaneously, men begin to experience cardiac & prostate disease, which can cause impotence. At a life period when many women r most interested in making love, their partners begin to lose their ability to perform.

DEPRESSION
Depression frequently accompanies sexual dysfunction in both women & men. In the general population, depression appears to more commonly affect females & older adults. It is important to have this problem evaluated if it is severe. If any individual experiences more than two of the following symptoms, he/she should consult a physician: suicidal feelings, impaired concentration, low energy, lack of interest in usual pleasurable activities(that includes sex), sleep disturbance, & significant weight loss or gain.

DIAGNOSIS
Medical & sexual histories help define the degree & nature of ED. A medical history can disclose diseases that lead to ED, while a simple recounting of sexual activity might distinguish between problems with sexual desire, erection, ejaculation, or orgasm.

A physical examination can give clues to systemic problems. For example, if the penis is not sensitive to touching, a problem in the nervous system may be the cause. Abnormal secondary sex characteristics, such as hair pattern, can point to hormonal problems, which would mean that the endocrine system is involved. The examiner might discover a circulatory problem by observing decreased pulses in the wrist or ankles. And unusual characteristics of the penis itself could suggest the source of the problem--for example, a penis that bends or curves when erect could be the result of Peyronie is disease.

Several laboratory tests can help diagnose ED. Tests for systemic diseases include blood counts, urinalysis, lipid profile, & measurements of creatinine & liver enzymes. Measuring the amount of testosterone in the blood can yield information about problems with the endocrine system & is indicated especially in patients with decreased sexual desire.

Monitoring erections that occur during sleep (nocturnal penile tumescence) can help rule out certain psychological causes of ED. Healthy men have involuntary erections during sleep. If nocturnal erections do not occur, then ED is likely to have a physical rather than psychological cause. Tests of nocturnal erections r not completely reliable, however. Scientists have not standardized such tests & have not determined when they should be applied for best results. Another test, called color phase ultrasonography, also may be done. This evaluates blood flow to the penis.

A psychosocial examination, using an interview & a questionnaire, reveals psychological factors. A man is sexual partner may also be interviewed to determine expectations & perceptions during sexual intercourse.

SEEKING MEDICAL HELP
If u r experiencing erectile dysfunction, medical care is essential. Many primary care physicians r assuming a more active role in the diagnosis & treatment of impotence. This involvement by the non-surgeon is increasing because of the development, in recent years, of non-surgical treatment alternatives, & because most impotence is experienced by patients who r already under the care of a family physician for other disorders.
Prepare in advance for ur first visit with the physician. Write down ur questions & concerns ahead of time. Some of the information conveyed by the doctor may be technical & difficult to remember. This is no time to be shy. You need to fully understand all of ur options. In order to make a sound, mutual decision about the appropriate medical approach to this problem, u need to have all of ur question answered. Bring a notebook along if u would like to take notes as u r talking.

TREATMENT
Most physicians suggest that treatments proceed from least to most invasive. Cutting back on any drugs with harmful side effects is considered first. For example, drugs for high blood pressure work in different ways. If u think a particular drug is causing problems with erection, tell ur doctor & ask whether u can try a different class of blood pressure medicine.

Psychotherapy & behavior modifications in selected patients r considered next if indicated. A significant number of men develop impotence from psychological causes that can be overcome. When a physiological cause is treated, subsequent self-esteem problems may continue to impair normal function & performance. Qualified therapists (e.g., sex counselors, psychotherapists) work with couples to reduce tension, improve sexual communication, & create realistic expectations for sex, all of which can improve erectile function.

Treatment may also include using a vacuum pump device to draw blood into the penis, using oral prescription medications & herbal products, such as sildenafil, also known as Viagra, or Yohimbine, injecting the medication prostacyclin E into the penis, surgery to improve blood flow to the penis, or implanting an inflatable prostheses into the penis

Sometimes all that is necessary is some honest communication between partners.

“We had a time where it was such a stressful thing that both of us just did not enjoy it. Now we r more into the let is do what feels right for us. If we feel like it we will & if we do not feel like it we wo not try to force the issue.” - Clitical Member

What r the side effects of the treatments?
Each treatment has its own set of advantages & side effects. The vacuum pump is very safe. But one drawback is that the constriction band, which keeps the erection, cannot be left on for more than 30 minutes. Sildenafil or Viagra cannot be used in people who take nitroglycerine because the combination may cause severe low blood pressure & heart attack. Injections r relatively painless, but require careful dose adjustments by a healthcare provider. Surgery is an option that should be discussed with a healthcare provider. There r possible side effects with any surgery. These include bleeding, infection, & reactions to the medications used to control pain.

All of this sounds pretty serious, & it is for those people who have to deal with it. The point is that it doesn’t have to mean the end of a relationship. Education & understanding can go a long way.

You first need to determine the cause of your ED. Is it physical or psychological?
If it is psychological you might seek counseling. If it is physical you might address physical factors, for example if you smoke stop, eat a low fat diet, and exercise.
It is unlikely you would find any ''natural'' remedy that would as effective as one of the prescription medications and to the extent herbs are effective they also have side effects

Yohmibe, Horny Goat Weed, Oats, Tribulus Terrestris, CDP-Choline, L-Arginine freebase

Of all these the single most effective is Tribulus and Avena Sativa (the milky seed extract thereof).

Tribulus specifically increases serum testosterone and will make you very agressive if you're not careful with it.

Believe it or not, if you stop masturbating you will have great erections.
