Natural Erectile Dysfunction Remedies – An Emotional Approach

There are so many advertisements for erectile dysfunction prescriptions out there that we hardly pay attention anymore.

If you are suffering from this condition, you are obviously not alone as they are one of the most prescribed medications ever. Even though millions of men use them, you have to wonder if there is an effective alternative.

Although erectile dysfunction medications are generally safe for most men, there are certain things to consider before getting your doctor to write you a prescription. Certain conditions like having heart problems, liver or kidney disease or a history of stroke can be factors that make the little blue pill a no-no for you. Side effects are often mild, but can include headaches, back pain, nasal congestion and even temporary vision changes.

That seems like a lot to put up with when your goal is to feel good, and hopefully make someone else feel good too, so what are the alternatives? You can try creams or vacuum devices that are sure to do the trick. Yeah right. Ok, you can have injections at the base of your penis – they use a tiny needle, I’m told. No? Then you’re probably not going to think a penile implant is a good idea either.

For most men, inability to achieve an erection is not just a physical issue concerning testosterone levels. It involves something quite mysterious and taboo for most males of the species.

Feelings. Even if you take a prescription medication for erectile dysfunction, it does not make you have an erection. It just makes your body more physically capable for intimacy

All of your emotions have an effect on your romantic experience, not just lust or desire. If you are out of touch with your partner romantically or are repressing your feelings, you may not be able to perform sexually – no matter what. Achieving an erection is at least partially based on your ability to express yourself emotionally as well.

Beliefs about Sex

There are certain things that perhaps you don’t realize are affecting your sexual performance. I know that you can’t “think” yourself into an erection, but your beliefs about intimacy and what sex means can have a very real physical effect on your love life.

Consider the following statements and see what they bring up for you. Question the true validity of each sentence and try to be present with the thoughts and emotions that surface.

* Sex is an orchestrated performance that a man must be ready to execute at all times.

* Sex should be the goal of all physical contact with my partner.

* Sex is only defined by erections, intercourse and orgasms.

* Sex should not be planned, but should happen naturally.

If you can break through some of these beliefs, and see how they are not really true for you, you can begin to explore new levels of intimacy with both yourself and your partner.
