Have you ever wonder what are the causes and remedies to psychological impotence? As it’s well known that erectile dysfunction have two distinct causes;
- the physical-organic causes, related to health problems and physical imbalances.
- The psychological causes, related to insecurity, performance anxiety and worries during intercourse.
In this article we will focus only on the psychological causes of sexual impotence to understand what to avoid doing, which remedies, techniques and treatments are suitable for sexual disorder.
Phychological impotence: does it only happen to you?
Andrologists and urologists, instead of talking about male impotence, prefer to use the term erectile dysfunction to indicate erection problems such as:
- total lack of erection
- Loss of erection during penetration, or putting on the condom, or before reaching orgasm and ejaculating semen.
- Difficulty maintaining an erection for a long time during intercourse.
According to estimates and sources from the Italian Andrologists Association, there are over 3 million men who have erection difficulties. And it’s not just about old men and this is because:
- 48% of erectile dysfunction occurs after the age of 60.
- But 52% of cases occur before the age of 40.
- And 5% of cases concern juvenile erectile dysfunction between 18 and 34 years old.
How does erection occurs?
An erection is not to be taken for granted simply because you are in an erotic situation with your partner. The erection of the penis is a complex mechanism of psychological origin and which manifests itself in a physical form.
Erotic stimuli of a visual type (seeing her naked), tactile (touching her and being touched), olfactory and mental (such as erotic fantasies) produce the psychological state of sexual arousal in the male’s mind (not to be confused with simple sexual desire) .
Arousal causes neuronal signals to be produced in the brain which descend to the genital area and which cause a complex chain reaction of events involving nitric oxide, cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), smooth muscle relaxation in the corpora cavernosa of the penis and the blood supply to it.
For simplicity we could say that mental excitement pushes blood into the corpora cavernosa of the penis, making it swell and bringing it into a rigid and erect position.
What are the psychological causes of male impotence?
Being afraid of disappointing your partner is completely human and normal, just as it is completely normal to be worried about losing your erection during intercourse, if you have already had erection problems in the past. These fears and worries can lead to sexual performance anxiety, but more than anything else they can prevent a smooth erection because they prevent the root psychological cause of penile erection, which is mental arousal.
Even if the desire to have sex with your partner remains, when you are tense, insecure, anxious or worried about not being able to get a good erection in bed with her, the man is unable to get excited as he should. Poor arousal will not send blood into the penis as it should and the erection will present problems, even if you don’t have any physical problems such as: vascular disorders, hypertension, hypotension, erection problems from diabetes, heart failure, etc.
Are Pharmacological treatments helpful for psychological impotence?
Erectile dysfunction drugs such as Kamagra, Viagra etc are part of the PDE5 phosphodiesterase enzyme inhibitors, but there are some important clarifications about them:
- They cause penile erection only fallowed by physical stimulation.
- They only serve to block and inhibit for a few hours the PDE5 phosphodiesterase enzyme, which in elderly men can rapidly degrade cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP).
- Erection pills are not suitable for everyone. It’s highly advised to discuss any self-medication with your doctor if you’re taking any other medication, especially nitrates.
Kamagra is the most popular Viagra generic version that can be easily ordered from internet. Therefore, you can buy Kamagra from any online pharmacy.
Having said that, it is easy to understand that erectile dysfunction drugs can help in case of psychological impotence, but you still have to work on your personal self.
Remedies for psychological impotence: what to avoid
- Avoid alcohol and drugs because they cause hormonal and neuronal disorders and fuel the psychological causes of sexual impotence.
- Don’t think you are a unique case or a serious case, because the reality of the facts is that the majority of episodes of impotence occur due to psychological causes and it is a much more widespread sexual disorder than you might imagine
- Don’t take pornography as a yardstick for your sexual performance. The performances of porn actors are facilitated by drugs and many cinematic tricks (erection problems are there too but they don’t show them to you).
