Erectile dysfunction sometimes called "impotence," is the partial or complete lack of a hard penis in times sexual intercourse. The word "impotence" is also used to describe other problems that interfere with sexual intercourse and reproduction, such as lack of sexual desire and problems with ejaculation or orgasm. Erectile dysfunction can be a total inability to achieve erection, an inconsistent ability to do so, or a tendency to sustain only brief erections.
• Controlling too much intake of alcohol and living a healthy lifestyle can solve the problem of erectile dysfunction.
• To solve the problems men should read about men’s sexual system, that is anatomy, disease, medicines and treatment. Some problems are solved easily others require the help of a doctor.
• Education about sex and sexual behaviors and responses help a man overcome his anxieties about sexual performance. Men should open up with their partner about their needs and concerns to help them to overcome many barriers in their healthy sex life.
• To solve the problem of erectile dysfunction men need to take advice and exercises.
• Communication with your partner, to face positively and progressively stressful situations, to control your fear of failure, to gain back your self-confidence.
• Viagra is a drug used to treat ED but does not work as well for men with ED caused by prostate surgery and diabetes.
I don't drink or smoke nor have I and I've never been on any meds, not even over the counter type of meds like tylenol. I am learning as much as I can about everything that anything and everything that relates to ED and how everything down there works. I don't have a girlfriend so there isn't any significant other to talk to lol I was given some viagra pills and did you use them when I was feeling good and they sure seemed to help
Natural Solution #1 and #2: Panax Ginseng and Rhodiola Rosea
Called the “herbal Viagra,” Panax ginseng (“red ginseng”) has solid research behind it. In 2008, researchers reviewed seven studies of red ginseng and ED. Dosages ranged from 600 to 1,000 mg three times daily. They concluded there was “suggestive evidence for the effectiveness of red ginseng in the treatment of erectile dysfunction.”
One small study published in 2005 also indicated Rhodiola rosea may be helpful. Twenty-six out of 35 men were given 150 to 200 mg a day for three months, and experienced substantially improved sexual function.
Natural Solution #3: DHEA
A natural hormone produced by the adrenal glands, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) can be converted to both estrogen and testosterone in the body. Scientists make the dietary supplement from wild yam and soy.
The Massachusetts Male Aging Study showed that men with ED were more likely to have low levels of DHEA. Forty men with ED participated in another study published in 1999, in which half received 50 mg DHEA and half received a placebo once a day for 6 months. Those receiving the DHEA were more likely to achieve and sustain an erection.
Natural Solution #4: L-Arginine
An amino acid naturally present in the body, L-arginine helps make nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels to support a successful erection. In 1999, researchers studied men with ED. Thirty-one percent of those taking 5 grams a day of L-arginine experienced significant improvements in sexual function.
A second study published in 2003 showed that L-arginine (1.7 grams/day) combined with pycnogenol, a plant product from tree bark (40 mg, 2 to 3 times a day), restored sexual ability to 80 percent of participants after two months, and to 92.5 percent after three months.
Natural Solution #5: Acupuncture
Though studies are mixed, many show positive results when acupuncture is used to treat ED. A 1999 study, for example, found that acupuncture improved the quality of erection and restored sexual activity in 39 percent of participants.
A later study published in 2003 reported that 21.05 percent of ED patients who received acupuncture had improved erections. Other studies have shown conflicting results, but this treatment has potential and may work for you.
I would think that with a little creativity most women probably wouldn't mind, I don't know, as I'm not a female, but it seems like if you're a good dude overall it can be something that can be worked with.
While this is an attractive topic, the concerns will be yours and hers when she decides to be with you. When you are discussing sexual contact with her, or the opportunity for the same, the issue will come up. Don't be surprised if, in complementary fashion, something else doesn't come up.
This isn't a conversation starter, "Hi, Malehere, and I have ED," but it is something that will be on the surface. The great paradox is most times ED is a psychological issue identified with too much focus 'down there.' The brain is the best sex organ and the body most frequently follows suit. You may comfortably say that you need time or some accommodations to be ready, and that things haven't always worked as when you were 17, as is common since few men with this problem are still 17.
This is an issue where partners can assist in facilitating your 'salute.' There are a number of low contact sex aids and other supports (imagery, lotions, other tactile contact, diverse types of touching including sensate focus) that for many are an end in itself, but for others, is the appetizer to the buffet. Sometimes people get full on the appetizers. A session with a sex therapist can often be a source of relief as they offer piles of bibliotherapy; the outlay of cost is far surpassed by the benefit of success.
For now, education will be quite helpful, to know the mechanics and psychological functions. After that, it has to be in-vivo. There is no exchange for a woman hot for you. There is no comparison to a ravenous woman.
I'm a 36 year old male and I have erectile dysfunction that comes and goes and I would like to be in a relationship. Let me explain my situation.
I live an active and overall healthy lifestyle and I don't smoke anything, drink alcohol, etc. About two years ago, I suddenly started having this issue and I went to the doctor but so far I've only had tests done and they might give me a prescription drug but not as of yet since I was told that I would probably have to take the drug would for the rest of my life so I'm holding off. So at the moment, there are periods of days when I feel normal or close to it and there are periods of days and/or weeks when I don't feel up to it (sex) enough if I had a girlfriend. I still want everything else, from a loving caring relationship to her enjoying sex even though I wouldn't able to perform normally as a man. I still love every sexual aspect btw, touching a women's body, massaging her, giving oral, etc. I'll basically do whatever to make her feel good and want to be with me.
So I'm basically asking you guys and girls (mostly girls I guess lol) opiñion, perspective and advice.
Thanks
Get on Testosterone Therapy. Thats a deal breaker going into most relationships. You might find someone with the same issues but I assume people dont advertise that when looking for relationships.

Use Cialis instead of Viagra, your not walking around with a flag pole for 6 hrs.
Are you getting plenty of sleep? I drink, ocassionally smoke cigars and don't have the healthiest diet, but I do work out. The only thing that separates me from the me of 20 years ago is if I am well rested.

Just adding a cautionary statement about ginseng -- for some people it can interfere with blood clotting. So take it with caution for awhile. Read up on it. If you ever have any surgery scheduled, STOP using it at least 30 days before surgery.
