251.jpgMyth Men - Fear of Performance


We still live in a very macho society, unfortunately for us all. For men in particular, there is pressure for sexual activity unbridled predatory. What fell on the network is fish! And there, by the way, an ancient myth that men are always ready for sex, independent of any other factor. Should always be with desire, should have full erection and do not fail ever.

This situation is a heavy weight on the shoulders of anyone. In truth, what the man who never lacked power?

What is the woman whose partner has not lost his erection ever in your life?

It is necessary to demystify the situation. Impotence (erectile dysfunction) only becomes a problem or a disease when it prevails in the sexual life of a man. That is, when there is a persistent or recurrent (repeated) to maintain an erection until completion of sexual activity. Some complain about lack of complete rigidity to achieve penetration. Others can have the penis hard, but at the time to introduce you lose power.

Warning! the possible occurrence of loss of erection is not considered impotence.

What causes loss of erection?


Polls are contradictory: some suggest that 90% of impotence has emotional cause.     The stress of day-to-day.
    The marital discord.
    The lack of attraction to partner.
    Anxiety or depression.
    The fear of not performing sex properly.
    Old emotional conflicts.
    Guilt and sexual repression.


Are some of the common psychological causes.

Other scientific studies report that erectile dysfunction in men is, in most cases, organic, especially when the man has more than 50 years.     The deficiency of certain male hormones like testosterone.
    Excess prolactin.
    The presence of some diseases such as diabetes mellitus.
    The use of medications that fight hypertension.
    The abnormality of the penis.


Organic factors are important to take into account in the assessment of sexual dysfunction.

And a cure?


We think there is a sum of these factors in determining organic and emotional impotence. For treatment, then we must combine some therapeutic techniques to achieve greater success.

After a few routine tests detected the presence of some organic problem. For example, if there is a lack of testosterone can restore through medication. If there is vascular or neurological problem, we can even indicate surgery or stent placement. However, such methods are more elusive last-choice treatment for impotence, used only when other methods have failed completely.

When there are many positive findings in the surveys, we can employ a type of psychological treatment called cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy, which is task-based progressive and sexual orientation.

Concomitant use of certain medications that cause erection has high therapeutic success in many cases. However, they should never be used without medical supervision specialist.
