Erectile Dysfunction

I will teach you natural methods to bring back erections when you can't get it up; simple exercises that can help you to take control and bring back your confidence and pleasure and in most cases your erections too. We will explore together the reasons behind you not being able to get it up and learn new techniques to help you get and maintain a stronger erection.

What is Erectile Dysfunction?

Losing an erection or struggling to get hard, especially after a big night out on the booze, has probably happened to every man at some point in their lives. The occasional missing erection is nothing to be too concerned about.

As they get older, men can start to find it more difficult to gain or maintain an erection. This can feel like really scary news, but before you start to worry and reach for the viagra, please be assured that this is perfectly normal and there are ways that you can counteract this and still have reliable and strong erections well into your golden years.

The all night ‘fuck fests’ and raging ‘hard-ons’ and of our teens and twenties just don’t naturally continue into old age, unfortunately. Just like our energy levels lower, so does our stamina and sexual urges.

Erectile dysfunction has many different causes. Rather than being a disease in and of itself, it is a symptom of a range of different issues. To achieve and maintain an erection, lots of extra blood needs to flow into and stay inside the penis.

There are many things that can get in the way of this process and lead to erectile dysfunction, such as:

Stress and performance anxiety

When our bodies feel fear or stress the extra blood that is usually sent to the penis for erection is instead sent to the muscles in the limbs. This is because the body thinks we might need to flee or fight sometime soon. This is often why you might be told that the problem is all in your head.

If you experience strong erections in the morning and when self-pleasuring, and only have problems with partners (especially new partners!). This is likely the case.

Tension in the pelvis, pelvic muscles and urogenital diaphragm

Tension in your pelvis can actually squeeze on the blood vessels and stop the blood needed for erection, flowing its tracks. Bike riding, weight lifting, a history of sexual abuse and many other activities can lead to this tension.

If you only get a semi erection in the morning, self-pleasuring or with partners and you feel tightness or pain in your pelvis, this could be the case for you.

Post surgery scarring and Injury

Similar to tension in the pelvic muscles, scars can grow deep into the tissues and wrap around the blood vessels impeding extra blood flow into the penis. Also the shock of surgery can sometimes ‘scare’ the tissues of the penis into not engorging as they would normally have done. I know it sounds silly, but bear with me. I’ve seen many penises that needed a little gentle persuasion without any pressure to pop up and play. You might not feel scared, but that doesn’t mean your penis doesn’t.

If you only get a semi erection in the morning, self-pleasuring or with partners and you’ve had an injury or surgery this might apply to you.

Prostate removal

Problems with the prostate can affect erections, especially surgery, as vital nerves and blood supply needed for erection can sometimes be permanently removed.

If this is the case with you, then it’s likely that your surgeon discussed this with you already.

Serious illness

This is where your GP comes in. There are many illnesses where erections are the ‘canary in the coal mine’, so to speak.

If you have a history of diabetes & heart disease in your family or you think you might have been neglecting your diet and exercise then this might apply to you.

It is very important to get a check up if you are experiencing erectile dysfunction, especially if you aren't getting any erections or just partial erections in the morning and none of the above examples seem to resonate with you.

It’s always a good idea to get a medical check up regularly anyway. So what are you waiting for? If you think this might be you, contact your doc now, and we can connect afterwards. Health first, my man!
