Erectile Dysfunction: Causes And How To Correct It

 

It can be stressful when you are about to have intercourse with your partner, but your body isn't cooperating. You have erectile dysfunction (ED), and you are not alone. ED affects many men, and there is no cause for alarm. There is something you can do to correct the problem. Here are the reasons you may have ED and ways to correct it. 

 

Stress

 

If you wake up as tired as you went to bed, then high-stress levels may be the culprit. Being tired will affect your ability to get it up. If that happens, you will be unable to have penetrative sex with your partner.

 

Mental health

 

Depression and anxiety can affect all parts of the body. If you are under medications, the side effects can cause long term erectile dysfunction. You should keep in mind that erectile dysfunction is temporary.  

 

Alcohol consumption 

 

Not everyone is affected when they are drunk. Many people are unable to perform when drunk. If you are planning to have sex later, then you should limit your alcohol intake.

 

Medications

 

Medications can affect your erection and libido. Medications for high cholesterol, mental illness, high blood pressure can lead to erectile dysfunction. There are also medical conditions that cause ED, such as Parkinson's and diabetes. 

 

Exercise

 

Exercise is right for your body, but any added pressure on your groin can be a problem. Such pressure can constrict the nerves and make it difficult to have an erection. If you're cycling and you feel some tingling in your groin, you should take a break. You risk getting penis injuries, and your sex life will also be affected. 

 

Dealing with erectile dysfunction 

 

·     You should avoid taking heavy meals and alcohol if you plan to have penetrative sex 

·      Go to bed early and look for ways to de-stress.

·      Focus on other forms of sexual pleasure. There is a lot you can do with sex toys, your hands, and mouth 

·      Use a cock ring to maintain an erection. The ring prevents venous leakage that makes your penis flaccid

·     Use a penis pump to get hard

 

Erectile dysfunction is temporary, and you shouldn't be stressed. You can always try penetration another time. Sex toys such as the cock ring will help you with the ED problem. You can still have fun without penetrative sex. Invest in the right sex toys such as the sex sleeve for men, and ED will not put you down.
