Many men report having been unable to get an erection at least once in their lives. They can be completely healthy men, but sometimes, there are emotional or physical factors that can affect them and as a consequence an erection does not occur. Among the most common factors that may be killing your erection are the following, so you can take action:
1. Alcohol.
If you think that having a few extra drinks will help you relax and stimulate your sexual desire, this is a mistake. Alcohol is a depressant of the nervous system, which is why it affects the sexual response in both men and women. Its effects are temporary, but excessive alcohol consumption can be a definitive cause of erectile dysfunction. Drinking in moderation is fine, but if you overdo it, you will know that the response in bed is not the best.
2. Stress.
Who feels sexy when they're thinking that they don't have work or that they have a very important meeting with the boss tomorrow? I don't think many. Stress causes different reactions in the body and can interfere with your erections. Therefore, the best thing when it comes to sex is to relax and not think about it. If it is a recurring issue, seek professional help.
3. Drugs and medications.
The use of illegal drugs such as cocaine and marijuana affects sexual response in men. In the same way, some medications and some herbs can affect your ability to maintain an erection. These include certain medications for blood pressure, depression, and pain. Consult your doctor about the side effects of any medications you take and avoid using illicit (illegal) drugs.
4. Have a negative image of yourself.
Low self-esteem or the negative image you have of yourself will affect your performance in bed. If you don't like what you see in the mirror, you will think that you are unattractive to your partner and that will affect your erection at the time of sex.
5. Anxiety.
In general, many men feel anxiety about how they will perform in bed. They are so worried about whether they will be good at sex that this can completely inhibit their erection.
6. Overweight.
In addition to affecting your self-image and self-esteem, being overweight influences your ability to have an erection. Fat men produce less testosterone, the hormone responsible for sexual desire and the strength of erections. In addition, extra pounds or kilos can cause hypertension or high blood pressure, which can cause problems with circulation and this can cause a decrease in blood flow to the penis, which is essential to have an erection.
7. Health problems.
Conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension), multiple sclerosis, hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis), bladder problems, and prostate surgery can cause problems with having an erection.
8. Problems with your partner.
Anger, sadness, fights, lack of confidence, all these factors influence erectile dysfunction. It is difficult to make love when you are not getting along with your partner, as this decreases your attraction to the other person.
9. Depression.
If you take into account that the main sexual organ is the brain, you will understand that if you have depression, the chemicals responsible for sending sexual response messages to your genital organs are not working well, in a balanced way. Hence, many men with depression lose their sexual desire or libido. Added to this is that many antidepressant medications also contribute to erectile dysfunction.
10. Lifestyle.
A poor diet, little sleep, not exercising, and smoking can influence your sexual desire and can interfere with your ability to have a satisfactory erection. So it's time for you to evaluate your lifestyle to determine if these factors are contributing to your erection problems.
Talking about erectile dysfunction can be embarrassing for many men. But it shouldn't be like that. Discussing this problem with your doctor is essential to find the solution. Many times erectile dysfunction is a reflection of a more serious health problem, for example, it can be the first symptom of a cardiovascular problem. The sooner you do it, the sooner you will be able to find the cause of your erectile dysfunction and then you will be able to follow appropriate treatment and fully enjoy your sex life.
