Psychological Erectile Dysfunction

Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   Can alcohol actually help with psychological erectile dysfunction by lowering stress and improving confidence?
   I know alcohol dilates the blood vessels etc negatively effecting erection but just how much of it does that? I mean a few beers might help relieve stress and improve the mood. Most ED cases are psychological so in this case wouldn't alcohol logically help by improving state of mind?

   • ANSWER:
     Yea it helps.
     But there is a fine line so if you get trashed then it won't help at all.
     A good buzz will though.

2. QUESTION:
   How can i get over psychological erectile dysfunction?
   I had been with the same girl for a long time (15 yrs) with no problem at all but now i have been single for about a year and cannot seem to get over this problem. i have been with several different women and the only thing that helps is viagra ,but i dont want to have to use it. So any advice would be appreciated.

   • ANSWER:
     If the women you have seen recently were casual dates, then I can understand completely your ED problem. You were used to the woman of the 15-year-long relationship, where everything was predictable and "normal" to your senses. Now all of that has changed. So be patient with yourself and go more slowly with your progress from dancefloor or dinner table to bedroom so that you get to know the prospective lover better and feel comfortable with her.

     Also, you might be putting some kind of unreasonable pressure on yourself to "perform" or to prove something to yourself. If so, cut it out. That is not being fair to yourself. A young guy can get it up just by thinking about certain things, but for most middle-aged guys it just doesn't work that automatically. So stop pressuring yourself to perform and instead focus on enjoying the togetherness of being with a partner or lover (even casually).

3. QUESTION:
   How do I help my husband with psychological erectile dysfunction?

   • ANSWER:
     Lay down next to each other.
     Tell him to close his eyes.
     Ask him no to do a tiniest thing.

     Play with his penis. For an hour. Suck it. Use both hands.
     None of you expect anything.

     Because of no expectations - you wil see what will happen.

4. QUESTION:
   Im having a problem with psychological erectile dysfunction im only 21?
   Im having a problem with erectile dysfuntion im only 21?
   i have already been to the doctor, its psycological. i cannot even obtain an errection by myself. how do i fix this

   it not performance anxitey im not even sexual active i cant get an errection on my own the doctor did a thourgh examination

   • ANSWER:
     It could be stress. my husband had the same problem at 21 when he lost his job. From what I've read on the internet it could be anything to do with stress, money problems, lack of sleep, change in diet, too much stuff going on at once, etc. I'm sure whatever it is it will go away eventually. Like I said my husband had the same thing and after he found a new job and things went back to normal the ED went away and he hasn't had any problems since. Hope you figure it out. =]

5. QUESTION:
   How can I get over psychological erectile dysfunction? Im Sixteen..?
   My girlfriend and I always mess around a bit, and usually i get hard right when we start, but then it just.. goes away. And the other night she wanted to have sex, and we were both virgins, but i could still barely get it up.. This is really hurting my self esteem, and i did a lot of searching and found out its psychological. How can I get over it?
   And I can get an erection when Im by myself..

   • ANSWER:
     you should try having her give you a blow job or if she don't want to do that a hand job.
     Just think about penetrating her and making love too her. Fooling around is fun and if y'all do end up having sex wear a condom too many unplanned pregnancy's already and its even when when they are teen-age pregnancy's
