Tips To Help Treat Your Erectile Dysfunction

14 October 2019 by Freddie Cox

Are you not managing to maintain the erection that you want in the bedroom? This can obviously be a very concerning situation for just about any man who encounters it. But if ED has got you down, don't freak out. It's possible that a few changes to your lifestyle could go a long way towards helping get your sex life back on track.

Cut Your Porn Consumption

Are you able to achieve an erection while watching porn but have trouble doing so during sex? According to Psychology Today, there's a reason for that. An expert on PsychologyToday.com makes clear that pornography can be incredibly stimulating and this visual stimulation might be more than you are getting in the bedroom. A suggested fix is to start masturbating without any visual aids, using only your mind or imagination to get the job done. This could make it easier for your mind to take control of the situation during regular intercourse.

Think About Something Else

This might seem counterproductive, but according to a list provided by the AARP, it can work. If your typical, everyday sex life isn't getting you aroused anymore, try and proceed with sex while thinking of something else that is a bit more arousing to you. You could think of an old girlfriend you haven't thought of in years or a specific kind of sexual activity that you'd like to do but your partner isn't interested in. You may want to keep these mental gymnastics to yourself, of course, assuming you don't want to hurt your partner's feelings, but as long as it allows you to get the job done, chances are good they won't be complaining.

Contact an ED Management Expert

If using mental tricks is not going to work for you, you may need some medical assistance. Today, more and more men are open about their ED than ever before. There exist today ED management clinics that specialize in treating this problem. You could be given some additional best practices to deal with the situation or prescribed medication that will offer a more direct fix.

Erectile dysfunction can be embarrassing, but it can be overcome with treatment. Start by adjusting your sexual routine if necessary in order to give yourself more mental stimulation in the bedroom. If that doesn't work, consider reaching out to an ED clinic or medical doctor near you. Be open about your situation and you might be able to restore your regular sex life before you know it.
