Erectile Dysfunction
Around 30 million men in the United States suffer from Erectile Dysfunction to some degree - and nearly half of all men aged over 40. Erectile Dysfunction is the medical term for impotence - the inability to get or sustain an erection during sexual intercourse. The condition often has a physical cause (such as diabetes, high blood pressure, side effects from other drugs), or can be psychological in nature. Stress and anxiety, especially anxiety about one's sexual performance, can be major barriers to achieving an erection - the tragedy is that erectile dysfunction is in itself a very stressful problem, leading to a vicious circle of impotence and anxiety. Viagra works purely on the physical aspects of an erection by increasing the blood flow to the penis of a sexually aroused man, making it easier to achieve an erection, and this can have powerful pyschological benefits for the user in terms of sexual confidence and lessened anxiety. |
