Many men report having been unable to achieve an erection at least once in their lives. These men may be completely healthy, but sometimes emotional or physical factors can affect them, resulting in an erection failure. Among the most common factors that may be killing your erection are the following, so you can take action:
1. Alcohol.
If you think having a few too many drinks will help you relax and boost your sex drive, you're mistaken. Alcohol is a nervous system depressant, which affects sexual response in both men and women. Its effects are temporary, but excessive alcohol consumption can be a permanent cause of erectile dysfunction. Drinking in moderation is fine, but if you overindulge, you'll know your response in bed isn't the best.
2. Stress.
Who feels sexy when they're thinking about not having work or having 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 to do during sex is to relax and not think about it. If this 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. Similarly, some medications and 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 the medications you take and avoid the use of illicit (illegal) drugs.
4. Having a negative image of yourself.
Low self-esteem or a negative self-image will affect your performance in bed. If you don't like what you see in the mirror, you'll think you're unattractive to your partner, and that will affect your erection during sex.
5. Anxiety.
Many men often feel anxious about their performance in bed. They're so worried about whether they'll be good at sex that it can completely inhibit their erection.
6. Overweight.
In addition to affecting your self-image and self-esteem, being overweight influences your ability to achieve an erection. Overweight men produce less testosterone, the hormone responsible for sexual desire and erection strength. Additionally, extra pounds can cause hypertension or high blood pressure, which can cause circulatory problems and lead to decreased blood flow to the penis, which is essential for an erection.
7. Health problems.
Conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension), multiple sclerosis, hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), bladder problems, and prostate surgery can cause problems with erection.
8. Problems with your partner.
Anger, sadness, arguments, and lack of trust all contribute to erectile dysfunction. It's difficult to make love when you're not getting along with your partner, as this diminishes attraction to the other person.
9. Depression.
If you consider that the brain is the main sexual organ, you'll understand that if you have depression, the chemicals responsible for sending sexual response messages to your genitals aren't functioning properly and in a balanced way. This is why many men with depression lose their sexual desire or libido. Added to this is the fact that many antidepressant medications also contribute to erectile dysfunction.
10. Lifestyle.
A poor diet, insufficient sleep, lack of exercise, and smoking can all affect your sex drive and interfere with your ability to achieve a satisfactory erection. So, it's time 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. Discussing this problem with your doctor is essential to finding a solution. Often, 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 this, the sooner you can find the cause of your erectile dysfunction, and then you can follow appropriate treatment and fully enjoy your sex life.
