Male sexual Dysfunctions
Male sexual dysfunctions is a topic that many people are reluctant to discuss. Fortunately, most cases of sexual dysfunction are curable, so it is important to share your problems with your partner and doctor. A sexual dysfunction, refers to a problem that prevents the man from experiencing satisfaction from sexual activity.
Male sexual dysfunctions can be attributed to physical problems such as diabetes, heart and vascular (blood vessel) disease, hormonal imbalances, chronic diseases such as kidney or liver failure, and alcoholism or drug abuse. Along with these work pressure and anxiety, marital or relationship differences and depression can also jeopardise your sexual health.
The most widespread sexual dysfunctions in men are ejaculation dysfunctions, erectile dysfunction and loss of sexual desire and these are prevalent in the aged people though men of all ages are susceptible to such dysfunctions.
The ejaculation dysfunctions can be classified as; Premature or rapid ejaculation, delayed or retarded ejaculation and retrograde ejaculation. In premature ejaculation the usual problem is that a man will climax before or during soon after the penetration. Delayed ejaculation is the inability to ejaculate or a long delay before ejaculation. Retrograde ejaculation befalls when the sperm is forced back into the bladder and does not flow out of the penis.
In some cases, premature and delayed ejaculation are caused by psychological factors such as absence of attraction for a partner, a painful and distressing experience in the past. Premature ejaculation, the most prevalent form of sexual dysfunctions in men, is generally attributable to jitters over how well one will perform during intercourse. However, such symptoms can also be traced to anti-depressants and rampant use of other drugs.Retrograde ejaculation is prevalent in diabetic males. This generally occurs due to problems with the nerves in the bladder and the bladder neck that allow the sperm to flow back into the bladder.
Erectile dysfunction is also known as impotency. It is the continual inability to achieve or maintain full erection required to complete your sexual intercourse satisfactorily. There are two main causes of erectile dysfunctions: physical and psychological. Experts agree that the majority of cases are physical but sometimes many men with such disorders start to feel nervous or low. These feelings can easily aggravate the symptoms of erectile dysfunctions. The few causes of erectile dysfunction include diseases affecting blood flow, nerve disorders; stress, depression, and performance anxiety; and injury to the penis.
Loss of sexual desire or libido, refers to a decrease your interest for sex, causing concern to you and your partner. You rarely feel like having sex. It has been associated with low levels of testosterone, anxiety and depression; medical illnesses, such as diabetes and high blood pressure; and relationship difficulties.

Levitra I haven´t tried yet. Generic Levitra yes, at least I think thats what it was. A friend has tried generic Levitra and liked it, but said he prefers Cialis over Lavitra.
Viagra is the famous blue pill that I haven´t tried, figuring the newer pills would be better. Anyone have experience with Cialis Levitra or Viagra and would like to share their experiences?

spoof on using cialis
(Video 1 of 2) Dr. Andrew Siegel, discusses the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
For those with ED or not (please state which you are), since Cialis is in your system over night while you’re asleep, what effect does it have on your nocturnal erections? Thanks.
For many men, the image of self is inevitably linked to a perception of masculinity which in turn involves functioning and performing well sexually. When problems do occur in the form of an inability to achieve or sustain an erection the term erectile dysfunction (impotence) is applied.
Things can go wrong at any point of the 3 stages of producing and maintaining an erection:
First Stage: Sexual arousal, getting sexually stimulated from our thoughts and senses.
Second Stage Erection: The brain communicates the sexual arousal to the body which increases the blood flow to the penis.
Third Stage Erection: Blood vessels that supply the penis relax allowing an increased blood supply to flow into the shafts that produce the erection.
If anything affects any of these stages or the delicate balance between them, erectile dysfunction ensues. The good news is that nonphysical causes of erectile dysfunction are the root cause in only 10% to 20% of cases. In such circumstances, a patient is said to have psychogenic erectile dysfunction.
The most common psychological problems can generally be related to: inhibited sexual desire, anxiety disorders, depression, mental fatigue, stress, guilt, relationship problems, and lack of interest in sex by partner etc.
Often, the fundamental problem is anxiety or depression. One study found that erectile dysfunction is nearly twice as common among depressed men as it is among those who aren’t depressed.
Keep in mind, though, that nonphysical causes of erectile dysfunction play a contributing role in most cases, no matter what the cause. Even if the cause is purely physical or medical, erectile difficulty is almost certain to have an emotional and psychological impact.
These emotional consequences can lead to the kind of performance anxiety that triggers more severe erectile dysfunction. When this happens, a man may begin to avoid his partner or make excuses for not having sex – actions that can perpetuate anxiety or depression.
At this stage, the role of the psychological difficulties may in fact overshadow the original medical or physical cause. To cure the problem, you’ll need to address both the physical problem and the psychological one.
A very special type of dysfunction is what’s called as excessive masturbation impotence. Masturbation itself does not cause impotence. When your body has had enough, it will just refuse to respond, but this is very far from impotence. About the only ’side effect’ is that if the penis is rubbed for hours and hours, it can temporarily become puffy with fluid in the tissues.
It is possible, however, that a man can achieve an erection and masturbate successfully and not be able to achieve an erection which would enable him to have a satisfactory sexual intercourse.
In the past, it was believed to be a case of excessive masturbation impotence. It is a fact that masturbation causes less tension for men than sexual intercourse does, so it may well be that a man gets anxious when he is preparing to have sex with a partner.
Another issue is our own education. Feeling guilty about how often you masturbate could be the real issue for the onset of an erectile dysfunction. If you are experiencing negative emotions/thoughts related to the frequency of masturbation, masturbating less often may solve the problem.
