Finding a cure for my Erectile Dysfunction

You have a number of choices but they can be broadly divided into two categories of professionals:

(1) Clinical Psychologists
(2) Medical Doctors

(1) Clinical Psychologists. Clinical Psychologists are professional graduates specifically trained to talk, to listen, and to guide people suffering from a wide range of emotional and mental upset. As a rule, they offer an excellent drug-free alternative to Psychiatrics.
If you choose to consult with a Clinical Psychologist about your sexual dysfunction make sure it is one who has a specialist interest in this subject as distinct from a General Clinical Psychologist. Generalist might treat anything from aerophobia to insomnia and, while they may be excellent at their job, they may lack the subtle skills that can make all the difference when it comes to resolving your erectile dysfunction.
Be weary also of posers and charlatans operating in this area. There are hundreds of unqualified people out there offering a quick fix for erectile dysfunction through hypnotherapy or herbal remedy. Always ask about qualifications and for any scientific studies supporting their claims. If either of these seem lacking or are being obfuscated, then steer clear.
If you choose a Clinical Psychologist to help you overcome your ED then ensure that they are fully qualified, that they have many years experience, that they specialise in managing sexual dysfunctions and that they are working from an accredited professional setting such as a University based Department or Family Planning Clinic. Never be afraid to ask questions. It is your right to know exactly who to going to try and help you through this difficult and sensitive problem.
Just one final word about Clinical Psychologists treating sexual dysfunction: Whereas they undoubtedly have a great deal to offer, they are nonetheless confined to treating your erectile dysfunction without the benefit of any prescription medicine. This, in some respects, maybe admirable but some cases of erectile dysfunction simply cannot be resolved without at least some medication. You do need to bear this in mind if choosing a Clinical Psychologist.
(2) Medical Doctors. The same rules apply to Medial Doctors. If you are choosing a medical doctor to help you to resolve your erectile dysfunction then make sure that he or she has many years experience and has a specialist interest in treating sexual dysfunction. Here is a useful tip for you. Ask yourself these questions about the doctor treating your erectile dysfunction:
(a) Is the doctor treating my erectile dysfunction genuinely trying to understand my problem and diagnose the underlying cause? If the answer to this is 'no' then you may be with the wrong doctor.
(b) Is the doctor treating my ED a generalist or a specialist? If the doctor is a generalist treating all diseases then perhaps you are in the wrong place.
(c) Is the doctor dealing with my erectile problem prepared to stay with me until a solution is found, or simply throwing Viagra at the problem and hoping for the best? If the doctor seems willing to give up on you after trying a few tablets then you should definitely take your problem elsewhere.
(d) Is the doctor treating my erectile dysfunction well known as a specialist in managing this problem? If the answer to this is 'no' then maybe you should be looking elsewhere.
SUMMARY
In finding a professional to help you overcome your erectile dysfunction, you may choose either a Clinical Psychologist or a Medial Doctor.
If you decide to consult a Clinical Psychologist then:
(a) Ensure that they specialise in treating sexual dysfunctions and are not just a general Clinical Psychologist.
(b) Ensure that they practise from a credible setting.
(c) Remember that they will not be in a position to prescribe any mediation.
(d) Realise that, while they may be excellent at treating ED related to anxiety, this maybe the totality of their skills.
(e) Understand that a Clinical Psychologist may be very limited as to their diagnostic abilities.
If you decide to consult a Medical Doctor then:
(a) Make sure you are talking to a specialist in treating sexual dysfunction, not just to a General Practitioner dabbling in this area.
(b) Ask yourself is the doctor genuinely trying to diagnose the underlying cause of your problem.
(c) Enquire if the physician can offer the whole range of ED treatments including Testosterone Replacement Therapy and painless penis injection where appropriate.
(d) Ensure that the doctor is prepared to stay working on your problem until a solution is found that you find satisfactory.

Treating Vaginismus

Vaginismus or vaginal muscle spasm on penetration makes sex impossible. You may have noticed that I have not used the term "fidget" to describe any female sexual dysfunction. I have not because I consider such a term to be a judgemental pejorative belonging to an earlier era of sexual repression. It may have been applied however to, among other things, muscular spasm to the vaginal entrance preventing intercourse. Today this is called 'vaginismus' and it can put a real strain on your daily life, as well as your sex life. Indeed it can spiral into a major problem you feel you'll never find a cure for. It can make a woman feel utterly inadequate and miserable. Her sex partner also will often incorrectly blame himself and this can make matters even worse.
If that happens to you, it is very easy to feel that no one fully understands what you are going through, or is prepared to take your vaginismus seriously. Searching for a quick fix for your problem, it is likely you will consider the many pills, exercises and vaginal dilators available both online, and in some cases, as a prescription via your GP.
Vaginismus is defined as the involuntary contractions or spasm of the muscles surrounding the vaginal opening causing pain and preventing penetration. In its more severe forms, the tensing may also extend to muscles of the inner thigh and abdomen.
Vaginismus may be either primary or secondary. Primary vaginismus is where the woman has had the problem from the very first attempt at intercourse. In this case there is often a background of strict religious orthodoxy where sex is depicted as 'dirty' or sinful or simply as painful and as something that has to be endured to please men.
Secondary vaginismus on the other hand is the situation where the woman once enjoyed sex to the full but, because of some traumatic experience like a rape or very difficult childbirth, developed vaginismus as a result of that assault.
Treatment consists of (a) relaxing the muscles of the pelvic floor and vaginal opening through specific relaxation exercised and (b) gentle and graded dilatation of the vagina using finger(s) and specially graded vaginal dilators known as boogies. Remember that practically all vaginismus is curable but it does take time and some effort. There is no quick fix.
Attending a skilled sex councilor is often the best way forwards.

Treating Female Sexual Arousal Disorder

Because they are often confused, it is important from the beginning to distinguish between sexual desire or libido and arousal. Desire comes first arousal second. Here we are considering a woman's inability to experience arousal in spite of strong desire or libido. Not being able to enjoy intercourse due to an inability to become aroused can put a real strain on your daily life, as well as your sex life. It can spiral into a major problem you feel you'll never find a cure for. It can make a woman feel utterly inadequate and miserable. Her sex partner also will often incorrectly blame himself and this can make matters even worse.
If that happens to you, it is very easy to feel that no one fully understands what you are going through, or is prepared to take your lack of genital arousal seriously. Searching for a quick fix for your problem on the internet can make matters even worse. It is tempting for you to consider the many pills, potions, lubricants and gels available both online, and in some cases, as a prescription via your GP who may also not understand this problem.
Female Sexual Arousal Disorder  (FSAD) is a major component of female sexual dysfunction. It may be defined as the persistent or recurring inability of a woman to achieve or maintain an adequate lubrication/swelling response during sexual activity. This occurs in spite of strong desire (libido) and sexual stimulation. Lack of desire or libido is a separate problem and it is important not to confuse the two issues.
The causes may be either physiological or psychological. The effects may be either lifelong or acquired, generalised or situational. The consequences are the same however--- pain and discomfort during intercourse, sexual avoidance and sexual tensions in a relationship. Treatments are as many and as variable as are the causes and ramifications of this common sexual dysfunction.

Penis Enhancement

Now forget your pills and potions, forget your herbs and hand exercises, forget your weights and pulleys. For penis size enlargement the Koteka is your only man. Its cheep, cheerful and effective and it comes with a no quibble full money back guarantee if you are not absolutely delighted with the results.
There is very little new in men constantly worrying about the size of their neither regions. Penis size fixation is in fact as old as humankind itself is. Judging from their drawings left behind them on cave walls, even Neolithic cave dwellers, doodling five thousand years ago, were big phallus enthusiasts. These graffiti artists liked to depict their men chasing after animals both generously endowed with enormous reproductive tackle.
And so in went down through the ages. The Kamasutra, written sometime around 1400, is a classic for its distortion of penis size. Here we are treated to graphic images of men engaging in feats of copulation and using positions that even Peter Stringfellow never thought of. However, not just that, while so engaged in these sexual gymnastics, they are flaunting stallion sized erections that would make the editor of Playboy Magazine blush today. Little wonder then, if the pursuers of this medieval pornography were not made to feel a tad inadequate down below.
By these means is the myth of the massive penis perpetuated and nourished. Again, still in India, we have to this day the Sadhus or holy men making their noisy way about town with weights attached to their penises. Since they have a propensity for parading themselves around town necked from the waste down, size understandably might be a bit of an issue with them.
When it comes to penis size fixation and what to do about it, it would be hard to beat the natives of Papua New Guinea. These fellows really put it up to the rest of us. To this day they like to cavort about the place wearing their beloved penis guards or Koteka as they are locally known. These cool little numbers, made from hollowed out dried gourds, are worn to cover the entire length of the penis and sometimes scrotum. The trick is to procure a Koteka that is about four sizes too big for its intended task and it must be pointing upwards too of course. Into this, the wearer hides his flaccid penis while at the same time outwardly suggesting very generous endowment of a straight standing nature.
There is an idea now for all you Male Enhancement Industry barons. Forget about your herbs and natural remedies. You know full well that none of these things works. Forget about your exercises, pullies and weights. These things do not work either and if you do not believe me go and ask the Sadhus how effective are they. No, no no. Flog Koteka on the Internet instead. Offer nice big pointy ones now and do not forget to include a no quibble, full money back guaranteed refund if the client is not completely satisfied with the results. Make yourself rich by exploiting the lame and the sick and keep the myth that is penis size fixation alive and well. There you go.

Small Penis Myths and "Miracle Cures"

The small penis industry seeks shamelessly to exploit vulnerable young men. First, they implant in the young mind the myth that his penis might be "too small." They then set about trying to sell him a "cure" that they know full well is not going to make his penis any bigger! This is very dangerous and may well be a contributing factor to our ever-rising suicide rates in young men. Perhaps not but one way or another, the whole area of so-called 'Male Enhancement' certainly has the potential to do untold damage. It is an internet driven form of torture.
With the exception of some, exceedingly rare, congenital defect there is in fact no such thing as a physiologically normal penis that is too small. In addition, even if there were, there is no clinically proven cure for this synthetic malady. The whole thing is blatantly fraudulent from start to finish and many people are making big money from it. In doing so they seem to be blindly indifferent to any hurt or damage that, they may be causing. How they can sleep easily in their beds at night defeats me.
Others are left to pick up the pieces of the charlatan's greed. Small penis merchants can leave a trail of destruction and shattered lives in their wake. Posing as experts, they invent a so-called medical condition. Then they invent a worthless "cure" for a non-existent defect. Their victims may be left a shivering suicidal mess with feelings of inadequacy compounded by disillusionment and betrayal. Who is going to help these men now? The Cure your Small Penis Peddlers? No, I do not think so.
A week hardly goes by but that I would not be dealing with the fallout of this corrupt business. I attempt to help men suffering from erectile dysfunction for which there are many causes. It is important to diagnose the cause of erectile dysfunction before the therapist attempts to suggest a cure. Diagnosis is in fact the key to success. Over the last year or so, I have noticed a brand new cause of performance anxiety giving rise to ED. This serious performance anxiety is arising from a preoccupation with penis size, which in turn is being engendered and propagated by unscrupulous and shameful internet traders.
Let us give these internet traders the benefit of the doubt. Let us assume that they are unaware that there is no such thing as a physiologically normal penis that is "too small." Then let us assume also that they are unaware that no exercises, herbs or medicine can make a man's penis any bigger and that the products they are flogging are utterly useless. At a push, I might be able to accept these propositions although to do so must assume the most appalling stupidity on behalf of the Small Penis Merchants.
Be that as it may however. What I cannot accept is how these internet traders could be oblivious to the hurt and damage that they are causing. Surly, even to the most insensitive mind, it must be blindingly obvious that to suggest to a young man that his penis is too small and then to offer him a "cure" for this none existent defect, a cure that incidentally does not work, is to make mischief of the grossest kind. So gross in fact that it could feature as a cause of suicide? Perhaps.

Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction

Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction

There is a simple rule of thumb that we in the "Curing Erectile Dysfunction" business use and it is this: Between the ages of 20 and 45 years 70% of erectile dysfunction or Impotence will have a psychogenic cause; while between the ages 60 years and upwards 70% of ED will be have a physiological cause. Or if you want to simplify this even further you could say that most Erectile Dysfunction in younger men is caused by anxiety about their performance while most ED in older men is caused by physical factors like hardening or their arteries (arteriosclerosis) or lowering of their testosterone levels - the so-called Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome.
In any case, suffice here to make this point: There is a huge difference between the type of ED that young men get and the type of Impotence that the older man gets. Therefore, logically, the same treatment will not work for both groups and that is why self-medication with online medication for Erectile Dysfunction is often a waste of money and never a good idea.
If I were asked to describe the typical older man, coming to my clinic or visiting my website seeking help with solving his ED problem, it would go like this:
(a) He would be aged between 65 and 75 years old.
(b) He often would be in a second or new relationship.
(c) He would be taking prescription medication for medical conditions not necessarily related to his ED.
(d) He would have tried Viagra or some other ED medication and been disappointed with the results.
(e) He may have a history of prostate problems or prostate surgery like TURP.
(f) He may well also have coronary artery disease and/or type 2 diabetes.
Obviously, such an individual needs specialist management if he is ever to enjoy a meaningful sexual relationship again. Space here does not allow me go into any great detail beyond making two observations: Simply throwing Viagra or Cialis or Levitra at a man like that described above is bad medicine and is destine to have disappointing results.
And secondly, there is now a growing body of clinical evidence that low testosterone levels can play a major contributory role in causing Erectile Dysfunction in older men. Therefore, when appropriate, Testosterone Replacement Therapy or TRT can play a significant part in restoring satisfactory sexual function. Often, when conventional ED medications fail to bring about resolution, the addition of TRT can make all the difference.

Erectile Dysfunction

Nothing works for my Erectile Dysfunction; am I now stuck with this condition for life?

Quite simply, the answer to this is an unequivocal no. In today's world, with a wide range of treatment methods available, no one should ever feel that there is no solution for their own particular type of Erectile Dysfunction. In younger men, it can sometimes be that their performance anxiety is so entrenched that even large doses of Viagra, Cialis or Levitra will not provide a cure.
However, for these men there are sex strategies that they can adopt that, with a bit of practice, can yield very satisfactory results. Where this is not possible, there are other, lesser-known medications that will bring about a satisfactory erection no matter how anxious they may be.
The situation can be very similar in older men. For example, in post-prostatectomy cases, Viagra and similar drugs will seldom work. However, these men also can benefit from alternative medications in the form of gels or via painless injections.
This also applies to men with spinal cord damage, advanced Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, stroke or coronary artery disease.
The main message here is that despite your natural and, completely understandable concerns, there is always a solution and all that is required is the right specialist with a dedication and a willingness to help you find the right one for you.
This is critical however. You must fully understand your own erectile dysfunction and what is causing it and this is where a specialist professional comes in. You need to have the exact cause of your unique ED pinpointed and only a doctor with a specialist interest and training in this subject can do that for you. Understanding your own erection problems is part of the cure and diagnosing the cause is central to proper treatment.
