Dealing with Erectile Dysfunction

Sex is an integral part of life and for a man not to be able to participate in intercourse is a devastating loss. He feels he has failed not only himself but his lover. He may believe that a woman can never really comprehend the problem from a man's unique perspective. Many men prefer to solve erectile problems with no help or assistance from their partner. Some even choose to seek medical advice and treatment without their partner's knowledge. They may have a strong sense of pride and resent any intrusion on their privacy and instead of dealing with the problem as a couple, begin to make excuses, pretend it does not bother them, and avoid intimacy.

However, it is important to remember that women are greatly affected by erectile difficulty and that both partners may be experiencing similar emotions. Guilt, blame, lack of self-esteem, anxiety and an unwillingness to talk are common problems encountered by many couples. The longer the problem is allowed to go on, the more damage it's likely to do to your relationship. Erectile dysfunction does not respond
to neglect and it's important to know that in almost all cases, it can be treated successfully. You are not alone in your problem and your partner can actively help in the restoration of your sexual function.
