Temporary Sexual Dysfunction

Even for men without a history of erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation problems, there are times when all of us experience difficulties performing. There are several reasons why this may occur and not all of them necessarily mean that you're suffering from a persistent medical condition.

Beer Dick (Temporary Erectile Dysfunction)

One of the most common temporary sexual problems happens when you've had a few too many alcoholic drinks. Often referred to as "beer dick", this is when you're extremely horny but your penis just won't respond properly. Although you're excited, your erection simply isn't hard enough for sex.

Minute Man Syndrome (Premature Ejaculation)

Sometimes when you're having sex you'll find that you just can't control yourself and you ejaculate much too quickly. Guys who find themselves in this unfortunate situation are commonly called "minute men" because they can last only minutes before they reach orgasm. Many times this happens because you're nervous about being with someone new. Other times it's due to a long period of time that's elapsed since your last sexual experience and you simply become overexcited.

In both of these cases it's helpful to have something which allows you to temporarily avoid these problems. The quickest and easiest method is to use a topical performance enhancer such as an herbal gel.

Relief Only When You Need It

Herbal gels are specially formulated to increase blood flow to the penis, improve sexual desire and create harder and fuller erections in a short amount of time. They're also good when you just need a little extra pick-me-up at the right moment.

They are normally composed of natural plant extracts such as aloe vera, bearberry, algae and mango butter which when combined aids the flow of blood to the penis. This is turn promotes harder and stronger erections while increasing sexual desire and staying power.

To use the gel all you need to do is massage it directly onto the penis where it starts to work almost immediately. They also work great for lubrication which can increase the pleasure you feel during sex.

Fast-Acting Enhancers

The best thing about herbal gels is that they're fast-acting. Unlike other natural enhancement products which can take weeks for results, these work right away to start improving erection hardness.

Even prescribed drugs like Viagra can take hours to work since the ingredients need to work through your system. Gels on the other hand are almost instantaneous since they are applied directly to the penis and absorb right through the skin. You also don't need to worry about harmful interactions that can occur between alcohol and prescription medications.

Keep in mind that herbal gels, while very effective, are not technically a penis enlargement solution. While they will temporarily increase your size due to the increased blood flow to the penis, they are not designed to generate long-term growth in penis length and thickness. For permanent penis enlargement you'll still want to use one of the recommended methods.

The Most Effective Herbal Enhancement Gel

When it comes to choosing an herbal gel, I personally recommend Prosolution Gel. In my experience no other product comes close to producing the same effectiveness in creating firmer, fuller erections, as well as increasing sensation.

One tube of Prosolution Gel costs only $49.95. This lasts approximately 1 month but it depends on how much you apply and how often you use it. I usually buy a 6 months supply because it works out cheaper per tube and I really like to apply it liberally during sex.

With Prosolution Gel's 100% money back guarantee, you've really nothing to lose by trying it. If after using the product you decide that sex is already good enough without it, just return it and get your money back.

I definitely think you will see a difference and that's why I'm recommending it. Try Prosolution today and start experiencing the best sex of your life!

The Physiological/Psychological Connection

It is a widely known fact that mood plays an important role in proper sexual functioning. If a person is experiencing stress or anxiety, it is very likely that the effects will have both a psychological and physiological impact. For men this often translates to lowered testosterone levels and frequent bouts with sexual dysfunction.

Recently a controlled test was performed by researchers from the Moriguchi-Keijinkai Hospital in Japan to determine the effect of watching humorous films on men suffering with erectile dysfunction.

Background

The study consisted of 36 men diagnosed with Atopic Dermatitis (AD) – a chronic inflammatory skin disorder often characterized by eczema. Previous research indicated that the symptoms of this condition were exacerbated when patients experienced elevated stress levels. It was also found that many AD patients also suffered from erectile dysfunction (ED). Since prior studies had determined that watching humorous movies helped alleviate the symptoms associated with AD, a new test was commissioned to determine if this type of treatment would have a similar beneficial effect on ED.

The Study

The participants were split into two groups of 18 men and their wives. The first group viewed one comedy per day for three consecutive days. The films included The Best Bits of Mr. Bean, Modern Times and There's Something About Mary. Participants were then instructed to have sex on the following 4 days after viewing. After two weeks they viewed three non-humorous films over the course of three days that featured various weather information. Again they were asked to perform intercourse on the following 4 days. The second group of 18 men followed the exact same criteria except in reverse order – they first viewed non-humorous control films and then after 2 weeks they viewed the humorous films. Samples of blood were taken from the participants prior to viewing the films as well as during each of the days they were instructed to have intercourse.

The Results

Those viewing humorous films experienced a significant increase in sexual hormone levels while those watching the non-humorous control movies experienced no improvement whatsoever. Hormones like testosterone are linked to erectile and orgasmic functioning as well as sexual desire and intercourse satisfaction. Elevated hormone levels therefore have a direct impact on erectile dysfunction problems.

Conclusion

Mr. Bean can fix your penis! Well no, not really. The researchers are quick to point out that the effects are short-lived and last only a few days. They also acknowledge that the improvement may be specific to those suffering from AD as those patients tend to be highly vulnerable to stress. That however may not entirely be true as the researchers state:

"…our preliminary study indicates that viewing humorous films on three consecutive days also improves psychogenic ED in subjects without AD…"

So technically the jury is still out and further tests are needed to confirm their initial findings. I personally don't hold out much hope for this being a viable ED cure. Comedies can certainly help take your mind off of problems and this will reduce stress levels. Stress is, after all, a killer; both in everyday life as well as in the bedroom. Anything you can do to reduce stress is certainly a worthwhile endeavor. I'm just not certain watching funny movies is the way to go about it. Erectile dysfunction itself is no laughing matter for the millions of men suffering worldwide.

Full results of this study are published online and can be found here:

Since ejaculatory control is not innate in men but rather learned through practice and repetition, the fact is that most men will experience premature ejaculation at least once in their lifetime. A consistent recurrence of this condition, however, is not something to be dismissed lightly given the serious effect it can have on male confidence and emotional well being. Men who have experienced premature ejaculation in the past often look towards new sexual activities with apprehension and dread. This can lead to an endless cycle of depression, humiliation and despair.

The roots of premature ejaculation lie in both the physical and the psychological condition. Studies have shown that 90 percent or more of men who suffer from this condition have inherited it from parents or grandparents with a history of the dysfunction. On the physical level, this is a condition associated with a faster than normal neurological response in the pelvic muscles. Psychologically speaking, premature ejaculation is often the result of stress, depression, unrealistic expectations, or simply a general lack of confidence.

Two of the main causes of premature ejaculation are inexperience in sexual relations and a weakened pubococcygeus (PC) muscle. While a lack of experience can be addressed by simply having more sex, training of the PC muscle involves some knowledge and a little work. Fortunately this muscle, which acts as the floor to the entire pelvic area of the body and supports the weight of the organs, can be trained and controlled just like any other muscle in the body.

Exercising the PC muscle is a way of gaining control over ejaculation and is an excellent way to treat and even prevent premature ejaculation. Some penis exercises such as Kegels (also called PC Flexes) are designed to specifically train this muscle and teach ejaculation control. More advanced and effective exercises can be learned from a professional penis exercise program such as the one offered by PenisHealth.

While premature ejaculation is a serious condition that many men experience, it is something that can be corrected. All you need is a little confidence in yourself and some practical knowledge to make this unfortunate condition a thing of the past.

One of the most common types of sexual dysfunction is known as erectile dysfunction. While it's impossible to know the exact number of men suffering from erectile dysfunction, it has been estimated that about 5 percent of men over 40 and 25 percent of men aged 65 and older suffer from it. This problem can have its root in both physiological and psychological issues.

Physical conditions that interfere with the flow of blood through the body, such as diabetes, kidney disease, chronic alcoholism and multiple sclerosis all effect the normal functioning of a man's sexual organs. Consequently, certain drugs taken for heart conditions or high blood pressure that thin the blood can also effectively ruin a man's sex life. Other factors that influence erectile dysfunction include physical injuries to the penis, spinal cord, prostate, bladder, pelvis or the nerves and arteries near the penis which are responsible for erections.

Some psychological causes that interfere with proper erectile function include depression, anxiety, insecurity, low self-esteem, shame and stress. A history of erectile dysfunction can also trigger patterns of depression and feelings of inadequacy that can lead to sexual performance issues. Compounding the problem are the drugs taken to treat these emotional disorders which can have devastating physical side effects on the male sex drive.

Even further exasperating these physiological and psychological problems are unhealthy lifestyle choices. A heavy consumption of alcohol, tobacco or drug use is extremely bad for the cardiovascular system. The arteries and blood flow are disrupted by tobacco use and excessive alcohol consumption can make it harder for a man to achieve both erection and orgasm.

The first step to treating erectile dysfunction is acknowledging that the problem exists and seeking help. Next the root cause of the condition must be identified and an appropriate solution can be prescribed. If the problem stems from feelings of depression and stress, then usually a change in mental attitude can remedy it. Getting exercise, relaxation and socializing more can be very beneficial. The physical exertion and social environment associated with going to a gym for instance, can be excellent ways to drive depression away. Working out is also a great way to strengthen the cardiovascular system and help improve blood flow.

If the root cause of the problem is a disease that hinders the flow of blood such as diabetes, then the use of a penis vacuum device or surgically implanted prostheses can help with achieving erections. For the majority of men who aren't suffering from such a severe disease, the use of drugs such as Viagra, Levitra or Cialis can be effective at promoting the flow of blood to the penis. While these drugs are proven to help enhance erections, it should be noted that men suffering from heart conditions should get advice from a physician before use.

An alternative to prescription drugs is the use of all natural herbal supplements. These pills have been shown to be as effective, if not more so, than pharmaceutical solutions without the inherit dangers associated with those medications. Another natural approach are penis exercises that work to stimulate the flow of blood to the genitals without the use of any drugs or devices.

While probably the commonly discussed sexual dysfunction associated with ejaculation is regarding uncontrolled or premature ejaculation, a less well known problem that can be just as devastating is known as "delayed ejaculation." This term refers to the unfortunate situation where a man is unable to ejaculate for one reason or other.

The most common form of delayed ejaculation is when a man is unable to ejaculate in the presence of his partner but has no problem ejaculating when masturbating. In this case the root of the problem is purely psychological and involves certain hang-ups that are creating a mental barrier to ejaculation.

Many times this sort of problem is related to certain religious teachings as some peoples beliefs lead them to think of sex as something that is wrong or sinful. In other cases this problem is due to some sort of early traumatic event such as sex abuse or if the person has been emotionally hurt because of an affair. Another cause, and probably the simplest to explain, is that there is just a basic lack of sexual attraction with the other partner which makes it impossible to reach climax.

When the root cause is psychological it is often advisable to seek professional help. A qualified therapist can help uncover deep psychological issues and suggest treatment to overcome these problems.

Even though this condition usually has psychological roots, there are other times when the problem stems from a physical ailment. For example, a man might have difficulty ejaculating if his body produces lower levels of semen. In this case it can be helpful to use a supplement called a semen volumizer to help increase the amount of semen that the body outputs.

Another possible physical cause is when the sexual organs that make up the pelvic floor are poorly developed. Luckily there are specific exercises designed to help strengthen these muscles. Learning to relax these muscles and gain control over them can help you to gain better control over your ejaculation.
