Erectile Dysfunction - the superSEXman

Erectile Dysfunction (ED / Impotence) is the inability of a man to hold an erection firm and long enough for vaginal penetration and to sexually satisfy a partner. It may affect a healthy person from time to time and should not be worried about. Temporary physical or psychological stress may induce sexual dysfunction both in men and women. Not “feeling like” doing it is part of being “normal”. Large corporations making money off you would only want you to believe otherwise. However, if Erectile Dysfunction becomes chronic and your relationship and sex life are affected, you should take it seriously. It may not be easy for men to admit it and talk about it but you need to consult your doctor, mainly to rule out any underlying medical issues. Sexual dysfunction can often be a precursor to Diabetes, Heart Disease, High Cholesterol, Depression etc. Often sexual dysfunction in men is caused by aging or a mix of physiological and psychological problems in younger men. In young men it is often the result of alcoholism and excessive smoking, or indulgence in other drugs mixed with bad lifestyle choices. It can be caused by excessive indulgence and excessive use of porn and masturbation. Erectile Dysfunction affects obese individuals more often. Erectile dysfunction is often wrongly treated with synthetic testosterone and other expensive drugs which have no or temporary effect at the cost of long term loss of health. To overcome Erectile Dysfunction it makes more sense to adopt a healthier lifestyle, including exercise and healthy, low fat, high fiber diet to your health plan. Ingesting dangerous chemicals cannot be the answer. If you are overweight it is advisable to try and reduce your weight to an optimal level. Always try to rule out diseases like Diabetes, Hypertension and High cholesterol before treating yourself with Erectile Dysfunction “pills”. Abstain from sexual activity for 40 days to see if your body corrects itself and in healthy men it will. If under temporary stress from work or family life let the stress situation stabilize and then evaluate how your body responds. Remember Erectile Dysfunction is not a disease in itself, as it is made out to be. It is only a symptom of some underlying philological or psychological issue. Men are only being exploited for their insecurities by people wanting to make money of off them. According to PR Newswire “Erectile Dysfunction Drugs Market is expected to Reach USD 3.4 Billion Globally in 2019”. The biggest market remains North America.

The market is not just limited to big pharmaceutical companies although they make the most profit and spend 100s of millions of dollars in advertising. In 2008 over 300 million dollars were spent in advertising Erectile Dysfunction drugs direct to the consumer. This is in addition to under 200 million spent marketing Erectile Dysfunction drugs to Doctors and other health care professionals in the US alone. A large number of individuals are using these drugs sooner because of easy access to “information” and easy availability of the “magic” drugs. Doctors are only too happy to prescribe these magic pills. There is little research on the harmful, long term side effects of these drugs. Some side effects of Viagra listed by rxlist.com are; sudden vision loss, ringing in the ears or sudden loss of hearing, chest pain or heavy feeling, pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, nausea, sweating, general ill feeling, irregular heartbeat and more.

The panic fashioned by these large corporations has shaped a huge market and has created a whole new industry also selling you “natural magic cures to Erectile Dysfunction”. Most of these “magic cures” are nothing more than a plan in one way or another to do the following 2 things; Exercise and eat healthier. What these plans do not prescribe is “get sufficient rest”.

Consider this: There is no medical test that can be done to show that Erectile Dysfunction will not resolve itself spontaneously. In fact most men would do fine, if they did not stress over what was happening to them and did not pressure themselves to perform when the body did not want to and the problem was only temporary. If it is happening to a 50 year old male, he needs to ask himself if there is need to stress over it. As we age our ability to do physical and mental labor goes down, for some more than others. As women age they encounter menopause. Therefore my question is what the medical emergency is if at 50 years I cannot respond sexually as I did at 15. Do I pop a pill because I want to do more than my body can? For the record I am 50 and take no chemicals to enhance my sexual performance.

The popular brain wash about Erectile Dysfunction is similar to the one about depression. There is no scientific way to prove that a person is suffering from depression. It is only the judgment or a “call” taken by the treating psychiatrist when he labels you as a person with “Bipolar Depression”, “Major Depression” or for that matter “Arithmetic learning disorder” and prescribes powerful brain altering chemicals. In most cases there is no guarantee that the treatment would work. The drugs are now known to be extremely addictive and may interfere with proper brain function. Most individuals “diagnosed” with depression are told they have a “chemical imbalance”. If there really was a “chemical imbalance” there would also be a way to medically test it and report it. In a very similar way the normal aging process in some and a temporary “sexual fatigue” in others, is being labeled Erectile Dysfunction by the pharmaceutical industry. Drugs worth billions of dollars are being sold to unsuspecting individuals brain washed through large media spends. I would listen to my body and work on overall health. You cannot suffer from sexual dysfunction if you are generally healthy.

I have done a lot of research online and offline on the subject. The internet, in my opinion is not a very reliable source for information on Erectile Dysfunction. Quality information is hard to come by. I recently discovered an eBook titled “ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION”. This eBook is an excellent resource of facts and critical information on ED. I have provided a link here. At under $10 it is a real steal.

Ingesting chemicals to sexually perform better is in my view similar to taking steroids to enhance physical performance. Viagra the most popular brand was an accidental discovery. Sildenafil Citrate the active ingredient in Viagra was being tested as a drug for lowering blood pressure. Its ability to work as a potential cure for Impotence was discovered during these tests. The rest is history. Viagra has become a multibillion dollar wonder drug being prescribed to millions of individuals around the world. The big problem with the use of Viagra is that there has not been sufficient time since its first use for studies to be available on the long term side effects. Some data is now emerging. Going by the standard norm that the pharmaceutical industry follows, about 30 years down the road every drug is “banned” and another one introduced for being better and safer. The word “safer” in the pharmaceutical industry means that “we do not have enough data to label it as harmful”. The cycle continues and every 30 years or so a “new and improved” “magic cure” is introduced only to be banned 30 years down the road.

The best remedy for erectile dysfunction is to exercise, eat healthy, get enough sleep and get a treatment for your real health issues. The top of the list has to be “do not stress yourself” and “do not desire to be a superSEXman”.
