Erectile dysfunction and women

There are many commercials about erectile dysfunction and remedies that can help men in this situation. In these commercials, this unpleasant problem is often presented very simply – a man has a problem down there and then he takes a pill and the next thing that happens is the entering of hs beautiful partner and it seems like all the necessary preconditions for passionate sex are met. But, is this something that really happens in reality?

It is a well-known fact that erectile dysfunction affects not only the person to whom it happens (the man), but it is indirectly affecting the life of women too. Women are prone to internalization. In other words, they often blame themselves for the erectile problems of their partner. Women will sometimes think that they have done something wrong or that they are simply not attractive to their partner any more. In fact, the first thing that most women think about when their partner cannot achieve or maintain proper erection is that this is their fault and this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Erectile dysfunction is medically defined as an inability to achieve or maintain an erection long enough to get engaged in sexual intercourse. Literally every man, at certain moments and periods of life, can experience problems with erection. They can be caused by depression, stress and in some cases it is not possible to determine the exact cause. For some men, this problem is a problem of chronic nature.

Despite the fact that today information about erectile dysfunction are more accessible than ever before, the vast majority of women – and a similar percentage of men – view the problems of potency only as a purely sexual problem, even though the causes in the majority of cases are undiagnosed health conditions like high cholesterol, hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes or even some early stages of heart diseases.

Unfortunately, experts believe that the lack of education about this problem is often the basis of female self-blame for the problems with the potency of their partner and this problem is often accompanied by the feeling of anxiety, guilt and even anger.

According to many sexologists, there is a certain number of women who suspect that their partner is having an affair or that they are no longer attractive to their partner, so they start their own investigations about which of these two options are more realistic.

Another thing that makes women make this kind of mistakes is the situation in which they are faced with the erectile dysfunction problem in their partner and because of their wrong perception of the causes they tend to withdraw and become passive. This is a good recipe for ruining the relationship. When some of the partners withdraw, this leads to a breakdown in communication and this is something that can have disastrous consequences for the relationship.

Men who have a problem with erectile dysfunction need support and appropriate education because both partners, as well as understanding of this problem, can contribute to the engagement of all resources needed for positive outcome.
