Is Erectile Dysfunction a State of the Mind?

Erectile dysfunction is one of the worse things that can happen to a man. Ask any man and most of them will accept it. While way too many of these men could be suffering from erectile dysfunction as a result of hypertension or diabetes, some may not have a physiological reason to support the cause. Medically such men could be impotent due to idiopathic (unknown) reasons.

A man is known to be extremely sexually active so if he is not able to make love, there is a definitive reason behind it. Some of these idiopathic causes come in the category of emotional upheavals that they may be suffering from. These are:

  • Disinterest- Some men may not be able to have a hard on as they may lose interest in the act of love making by doing the same thing time and again. In such cases, the monotony will get to them.
  • Cheaters delight- Men who have multiple partners may at some point become impotent as the mental guilt gets to them. In such cases, the neurons are in a tensed state while the man indulges in physical intimacy due to which they are not able pass the urge to have sexual desires to the brain. The result is a limp, dormant organ.
  • Widowers ED- Men who have been recently divorced or widowed are not able to make love with a new woman as they feel that they are being unfaithful to their previous lovers.
  • Stress ED- Stress is one of the most common causes of erectile dysfunction in the recent times. Men do not realize it that when they are too busy worrying about their business or some personal problem, it can affect the way they perform in bed.
  • Performance issue- There are men who are worked up about performing in bed and the tension can decrease the flow of blood to the pelvic region.
