There are a number of effective treatments for Erectile Dysfunction. Adult males who suffer from this problem can, if they choose to do so, opt to undergo surgery or submit to sex therapy. Each is different, of course, but both can go a long way toward liberating the male from his “personal hell.”
Consider surgery … it is common, occurs every day in America and help males to restore their sexual vigor and ability to participate in sexual intercourse.
Here is what you need to know about surgery for Erectile Dysfunction. Simply stated, if you suffer from Erectile Dysfunction and your problem has not been defeated by other treatments (there are many), it may be a good idea to submit to surgery. The procedure is common, safe and relatively simple.
Here’s what happens … your surgeon will implant a device directly into your penis that, once in place, will stimulate erections for you. It is known as a prosthetic device and is available in different formats.
Implantable Penile Prosthetic Devices can be a firm rod that, once inserted, leaves you with a permanently hard penis … and an everlasting erection. Another popular and widely-used prosthetic device is an inflatable balloon with a small pump.
These surgeries help. In fact, they work to solve your problem. But … here’s something you need to know. Any surgery you select that involves an implant will require that you remain hospitalized for at least three days. Thereafter, you will have to allow for a six-week full recovery, during which time you will not be able to engage in sexual intercourse.
Of course, when six weeks have passed, you will be able to take full advantage of your newly-recovered
virility.
Sex Therapy
There are several sex therapy treatments. Here are some of the best of them …
Here is everything you need to know about sexual therapeutic techniques for the cure of Erectile Dysfunction. The first of these treatments is not really sexual in nature … it is psychological and it ultimately leads to sexual therapy.
For example, a prominent psychological therapy treatment (it’s really more about behavior modification) can involve the sensate focus technique which starts out as a psychological treatment and becomes much more sexual as it progresses.
When properly applied, it can dramatically improve any – or even all – of the mental and emotional factors that may be contributing to your Erectile Dysfunction. In truth, psychological therapy can even help you overcome Erectile Dysfunction when your problem is physical and not caused by problems in your brain.
When you visit a physician, the therapy or therapies selected for you will be based specifically on the psychological cause or causes of your Erectile Dysfunction. Of course, your doctor will have to thoroughly examine you to determine what problem or problems are affecting you.
He or she may determine that you suffer from depression. In such a case, you will be given anti-depressants or asked to submit to psychotherapy as two ways to cure your Erectile Dysfunction. Why … because psychotherapy frequently helps to ease or alleviate the anxiety about sexual performance that causes Erectile Dysfunction. In other words, the inability to perform in the bedroom is often “rooted in one’s mind.” Clear the mind, eliminate the anxiety … and all will be well.
There are other causes of Erectile Dysfunction and it may require numerous visits to your physician – lots of treatment, as well – before the cure sets in. That means that you, and your partner, need to be highly motivated and willing to participate over the long term – for psychotherapy to work.
What about the Sensate Focus Technique … can it really work? The answer to that question is yes, it can work. In fact, the Sensate Focus Technique is designed to help couples that are having severe sexual difficulties caused by psychological factors. It is not a treatment for men who have a physical problem.
The ultimate goal of the Sensate Focus Technique is simple: it is to help each partner discover what is pleasurable to the other and to eliminate performance anxiety. Generally, this type of treatment is used to overcome a decreased libido, sexual arousal disorder, orgasmic disorder and, of course, Erectile Dysfunction.
There are three steps that need to be followed by both partners, each designed to make them become more comfortable with a steadily-growing level of intimacy … leading up to the ultimate goal –satisfactory sexual intercourse.
The initial step leans heavily on the act of non-sexual touching instead of touching to create sexual arousal. In this early part of the technique, each partner takes turns gently touching and caressing any part of the other’s body, except for the genitals and breasts.
The second step leads to greater intimacy because each partner is now encouraged to touch any part of the other’s body, including the genital and breasts. However, even during this step, the focus is not on arousal and sexual intercourse, but on gentle touches and caresses as a way to create familiarity and comfort with one another.
And finally, during step three, the continuation of mutual touching is designed to lead to satisfactory sexual intercourse as each partner is now completely at ease with touching and with being touched.
And yet, even though the ultimate goal of the third step is sexual intercourse, the actual aim of the Sensate Focus Technique is personal enjoyment, not orgasm.
If Erectile Dysfunction is plaguing your life and creating unhappiness and distress, consider the treatments described in this article. They can turn your life around and put a permanent smile on your face.
