Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile Dysfunction Symptoms, Information And Treatment

Erectile Dysfunction is described as the inability of a man to maintain an erection. This condition is common among older men although it can also happen at any age. It is not a major concern if the man is unable to maintain an erection from time to time; however, if this is constantly happening, it can affect the relationship of the man with his partner and can also affect emotional health.

Before, the term for erectile dysfunction is impotence. Actually, it was regarded as a psychological problem than a physical problem. However, this was proven to be wrong because erectile dysfunction can be caused by chronic health problems. There are also instances wherein Erectile Dysfunction is caused by many combinations of conditions.

Some men find it hard to disclose their condition to their health care providers because they feel embarrassed. However, it is necessary to seek the help of your doctor once you've experienced it because Erectile Dysfunction can signify an underlying medical condition that needs to be treated.

Men who experience Erectile Dysfunction would often experience inability to maintain an erection that is sufficient in an intercourse.

Occasionally, men would experience erectile dysfunction and this is considered to still be normal; however, if this is consistent, further examinations should be done to determine the underlying cause of the dysfunction.

If you would like to know more, here are the common causes of erectile dysfunction:

Aside from these conditions, erectile dysfunction can also be caused by the following:

There are numerous treatments for erectile dysfunction. There are medications, surgeries, and mechanical devices which can treat erectile dysfunction. The treatment greatly depends on the cause and the severity of the erectile dysfunction.

I am gay but i am not sure if i am bi or what the hell i am anymore?
I am 20. Ok so this issue started last year after i apparently got Erectile Dysfunction due to too much masturbation and watching porn. I then was not getting turned on by girls anymore but i would find myself gettting depressed and so i experimented with tranny porn and i liked it. From then on i was getting erections for girls and guys from time to time. Then I fell for a girl really hard but it all went downhill and it was the first time i had ever liked a girl in my life for her personality and not just body. I was so pissed off and hurt that i started to sort of hate on girls because she liked me and i liked her but shit happened we dint get together. Now that i seem to not be attracted to girls i find mself looking at guys and for some reason is like i have forced myself to think i am gay since i like tranny porn i ldont even know who i am anymore. Now i am all confused about what i like. I seem to be getting turned on by trannies but i still seem to like girls in a more emotional level but not sexual. I dont know if is a phase or not and the ED is not helping me. Am i bi, bi curious, gay, straight or going is this all in my mind? Thank you in advance

Whats with all these men thinking they look better when they get older?
Coming from a 25 year old female no you don't. You lose your hair, get a beer belly and suffer erectile dysfunction. The only thing that happens to women is they lose their fertility, go grey and get crows feet. The women who vote for these men are probably in their 30s or 40s. And while I find Johnny Depp attractive I would never say he is better looking now than he used to be coz he's not. I know some guys my age that are already going bald at least there are products for women when they start to age not to mention plastic surgery and liposuction.
