Management of temporary impotence (erectile failure)

As the name implies, temporary impotence is not a permanent loss of the ability to sustain an erection; it is temporary. It has a life span; it is short-lived.

I have written about the causes of temporary impotence in an earlier article. In that article, I indicated that the causes of erectile failure are divided into two. The psychological and organic causes.

Controlling or eradicating such a disease can only manage temporary impotence that is secondary to an organic disease. For example, temporary impotence that has been caused by diabetes, hypertension and/or the use of antihypertensive or antidepressant drugs will respond to managing those conditions appropriately. Be that as it may, and like is always the case, we know that dehydration plays a role in some of these diseases. It is therefore, wise, to begin the treatment of this condition with water.

Dehydration should be avoided by making sure that you drink sufficient amount of water, daily. When an individual is well hydrated, things like hypertension, diabetes, arteriosclerosis etc. are taken care of. In the case of arteriosclerosis, which is caused by the deposition of plaques on the wall of the artery, it has been discovered that cholesterol is deposited in the intercellular spaces when one is dehydrated. On the other hand, when one is well hydrated, there is no need for cholesterol to be deposited on the wall of the artery. We also have to note that drinking sufficient amount of water daily helps to detoxify the body. Acids and toxins get eliminated fast and prevent them from causing damage to the cells.

Partaking in exercise regularly also helps to regulate the blood pressure and blood sugar. Not only that, new blood vessels are created to supply more blood to places like the heart, muscles, the penis and the region surrounding it. Exercising also helps to detoxify the body.

Where drugs are suspected to have caused erectile failure, such drugs should be withdrawn if the individual concerned desires to perform better in bed and impregnate his wife.

The other causes of temporary impotence are collectively referred to as psychological causes. These causes, as I wrote in that earlier article are managed by dealing directly with whatever is causing the problem. Included in this group of causes are such things as stress, fear, and ridicule by a wife, anger bitterness nagging and complaining. Others are the phenomenon of small penis and wide vagina, ignorance, tiredness, guilt, a passive wife and female dominance.

Fortunately, managing these causes of erectile failure does not require drugs. Furthermore, these conditions that cause erectile failure are such that can be avoided; they are conditions that may not be associated with sexual matters. Everything must therefore, be done to avoid them when sexual intercourse may be uppermost in your mind. Counseling and teaching the couple what to do in most cases easily reverse the problem.

Causes of temporary impotence that can be avoided include stress, ridicule, anger, bitterness, nagging, complaining and tiredness. Most stressors (causes of stress) can be avoided. For those stressors that you would have to live with, seeing a counselor or joining a therapy group will help.

Concerning tiredness, the only solution is to rest. You do not have to have sex before you sleep at night. Sleep and rest sufficiently till about 5.00am, feeling rejuvenated and strong. Wives need counsel concerning their reaction to a husband who may not be measuring up, sexually. Responding angrily, complaining and nagging are sure to spoil the fun for him. No matter what, these types of responses should be taken away from the bedroom. A passive wife, if she is not frigid should be advised to be more active in bed. Some wives have been counseled to pretend. Why not? The prostitutes, girl friends, mistresses, all pretend making the man feel that he is very good in bed. You may need to do so for the same reason for him to stay at home and enjoy sex with you.

A wife who is dominant during sexual intercourse has to be careful. Some husbands may ascribe such to promiscuity in the past or extra-marital sexual involvement. The man should dictate the pace during sexual intercourse, while the wife can assist or support him. I have written about what to do when there is the complaint of either a penis that is rather small or a vagina that is a bit loose and wide.
