Impotence affects both partners, so it's something that needs to be dealt with together. Without a mutual understanding of impotence and its effects, both physical and psychological, even the healthiest relationship can suffer. The most effective way to gain an understanding of the impact of ED is by talking to each other. The following is a step by step approach towards dealing with impotence and resuming a mutually satisfying and intimate relationship

Step 1

Recognizing that a problem exists is a good starting point. Quite often reassurance, support and encouragement are all each of you needs to get back on the road to a healthy and fulfilling relationship.

Step 2

Once you've acknowledged that a problem exists, the next course of action is to learn as much as you can about the types of treatments available, and then discuss the kind of treatment you think would suit you best. Take the time to discover all there is to know about ED, the various treatments available, the physical and psychological causes of impotence and plenty of other information, advice and guidance.

Step 3

The next step is to make an appointment with your doctor for a complete medical examination. Consulting your physician may help uncover any underlying physical condition which may be contributing to impotence. Remember that not all impotence medications and treatments work for everybody, so you may need to try various types of treatments until you find one that works for you.

Step 4

Feelings of self-doubt and lack of masculinity often accompany impotence, and these negative feelings can increase the longer the problem remains unresolved. So when you're ready to resume your sexual relationship, it's important to "set the scene" - create an intimate, soothing and romantic environment.

Step 5

Remember that you may not get it right first time.

Usually the first course of treatment suggested is one of the impotence drugs like Viagra, Cialis or Levitra. However, these drugs don't work for everyone. You may need to adjust the dosage, or wait a little longer for the drug to take effect. Impotence pills work best when taken without food or alcohol, so if you plan on preparing an intimate candlelit dinner for two eat early to give yourself plenty of time for the medication to "kick in". Don't be discouraged if you don't succeed in the beginning. Satisfactory results are seldom instantaneous. Try to make the process of experimenting to get the results you want a time for re-discovering intimacy, affection and above all, humor.
