POST-IMPOTENCE PSYCHOLOGICAL ISSUES

After Levitra Restored your Sexual Strength

We have already discussed about the physical reasons that are responsible for erectile dysfunction. A penile erection involves both physical and psychological aspects hence it is important that both are addressed in order to have a good sexual life.

Men, who have been suffering from erectile dysfunction for months generally, develop negative emotional reactions regarding their sexual experiences. These negative reactions can induce erectile dysfunction emerging as a serious impediment to sexual pleasure. The main psychological issues that can cause erectile dysfunction or impotence are:

• Depression

Depression is a state of mind in which men do not find any interest in anything they do. There can be many causes for depression but the ones linked with post-impotence are past failures in sexual relationships, lack of love and trust in the relationship, serious physical condition, financial worries etc.

• Guilt

Guilt normally arises when you know you have done something wrong. It can develop from past experiences of sexual abuse, emotional or physical abuse, childhood trauma, infidelity etc.

• No interest in the partner

When the couple lack love, and the man does not feel interested in his partner, he may not be able to get stimulation from any sexual advancements by the partner.

• Low self-esteem

If a person is low in confidence because of his physical appearance or sexual prowess or repeated failures in life, he may not be able to get an erection as he is suffering from inferiority complex. This can also develop due to unsatisfactory sexual experiences in the past.

• A disinterested partner

One, who thinks that his partner is no more interested in him and not willing to have sex with him, in that case also, that person becomes emotionally helpless and so finds it difficult to attain an erection.

• Anxiety related to sexual performance

Performance anxiety is a major draw back in sex. Because of the anxiety of performing well, a man devotes all his attention to his sexual performance and ignores the pleasure of sex. As a result, he fails to retain the erection and satisfy his partner. Feeling over-anxious about own sexual performance leads to stress which and failure to maintain an erection.

• Worry about failure

At times a person is worried about his failure to attain and maintain an erection or premature ejaculation or ability to satisfy his partner. These worries arise out of related past experiences and cause anxiety which further leads to erectile dysfunction.

• Lack of intimacy

Lack of intimacy between the partners can also lead to erectile dysfunction. Lack of intimacy, means that your partner will be less responsive to your sexual actions.

• Too much Focus on physical performance

The past experience of failure and then regained strength overwhelms a man and he focuses only on physical performance. As a result other vital aspects of sexual arousal and pleasure like touch, smell, sound and sight remains unattended.

• Too much hurry

Men suffering from partial or temporary erectile dysfunction tend to hurry in penetrating and ejaculating because they have fear of losing their erection.
