In terms of attitude and how they react to particular sexual notions, men are more sexual than women. Men have an erection during sex because of the physical and mental stimulation they get from their partner. This is normal and healthy. If the events happening are sexually arousing for them, they should be able to get an erection easily.
Some people, unfortunately, have a little trouble getting an erection when they need one. Sexual impotence, sometimes called erectile dysfunction or ED, is a health problem that makes it hard for a man to get or keep an erection long enough to satisfy his sexual desire. Men with this ailment would always have trouble getting an erection during sex, would lose their erection at a key moment, would have trouble ejaculating, or would have very short erections.
Sexual impotence is one of the most common sexual issues, and it affects over half of all men over 40. As males become older, this might become a more serious problem. Men who don’t go to school as much are more likely to be impotent because they eat less healthful foods (drink more and don’t exercise) and live less healthy lives. Men are also less likely to go to the doctor for this problem since they are ashamed and afraid of being judged by others. The disease can be transient or permanent, but it is still quite upsetting for the person who has it. A psychological condition, like stress or performance anxiety, might induce impotence. However, other cases are caused by physical injuries or illnesses.
There are a number of things that can cause impotence today. Some drugs can make it hard to get an erection as a side effect. Some examples are drugs for high blood pressure, depression, cancer, epilepsy, and diuretics. Always tell your doctor if this happens so that he or she can give you an alternative medicine. Men with diabetes (Type 1 or Type 2) are also more likely to be impotent because diabetes damages blood vessels and causes peripheral neuropathy, which is a type of nerve damage.
Other health problems, like prostate cancer, illnesses of the neurological system, and Peyronie’s disease, can also make it hard to get an erection. This illness can also happen if you hurt your spinal cord, sex organ, or pelvis. Surgery on the bladder, rectum, or prostate, which are close to the nerve pathways of the penis, can also damage the nerves in the penis, making it impossible to have an erection. Long-term exercise, smoking, drinking too much alcohol, and using illegal drugs can also cause impotence because they damage the nerve system in different ways.
Stress and anxiety, troubles with your relationship, and fear of failure (performance anxiety) are also psychological reasons for impotence. You can lower your chances of getting impotence by getting help to deal with stress or by going to counseling. Always tell your doctor about any symptoms or unusual sexual response so that they can provide you the right treatment.
