Coping with Erectile Dysfunction

Coping with Erectile Dysfunction

Whether the cause is physical factors or psychological factors or a combination of both, erectile dysfunction can become a source of mental and emotional stress for the couple. Everyone experiences erectile dysfunction sometimes. Do not let one event strike a body blow at your self esteem.

Don't think that one event of below-par performance is a permanent strike against your virility and masculinity. And your partner should have sufficient love in her heart towards you as well as sufficient patience and understanding. Only if these events occur again and again or they are interfering with your or her satisfaction do you need to do something about it.

Remember to reassure your partner that your performance problem is not because of lack of interest in her. Reassure her that you find her attractive. An erection is the best compliment a man can pay to a woman.

And the absence of it may be viewed by a woman as a testimonial to her unattractiveness. And don't make matters worse by sneaking to your computer to look at some 'girls gone wild'.

Talk with her, explain what is happening, talk with your doctor, educate yourself about these matters, and look at all treatment options. Try simple things first before you mortgage your house to get treatment for Mr. Penis (especially since your insurance company has little or no sympathy for your penis, and would rather pay for your castration surgery than for your erection surgery)
