How to know that it is not erectile dysfunction (ED): 6 causes that stop the erection or the hardness of the sexual intercourse

What to do when you can’t get an erection. There are two things you must do. First, find out the reason why your penis does not get stiff and hard. And second, don’t beat yourself up thinking you’re a failure. How far from the truth that is.

There will always be an underlying cause for such a sexual malfunction, so below are several explanations to help you understand why an erection is not happening to you.

The vast majority of men will have or will likely have the occasional episode of not being able to stiffen their penis and keep it there until their intended purpose is served. As frustrating as it is, you are not the only one suffering. If you think the reason for your problem is serious, see a doctor because previous research found that erection difficulties in young men are a main sign of developing heart disease and are linked to diabetes and thyroid problems.

Stress, fatigue, anxiety, drugs, alcohol, and types of medications is something that a doctor will look to be responsible for. If none of these is the reason to stop the erection, the doctor, if the problem occurs frequently, will check if the cause is erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence. Erectile dysfunction is identified as a kind of sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to achieve or maintain an erection of the penis during sexual activity.

Erectile dysfunction is when a man is unable to get and maintain an erection on a regular basis. It may only occur in certain situations; for example, the penis works and the erection masturbates, but when it is necessary for a sexual partner, the penis has none of that.

The penis that does not stay stiff and remains hard, but remains flaccid and lifeless is an anticipated penis action in older men, but not in younger men, although it does.

Alcohol: While heavy drinking can lead to serious erectile dysfunction, drinking in general can affect the penis and its performance in bed. In jargon terms, we have what is called the Brewers’ Downfall. No matter how much you slap and bang, or stroke the penis, it just won’t budge. However, do this in the morning when the alcohol has left the body and all systems are gone. Of course, that is if alcohol is the culprit. Fortunately, the downfall of the brewers is temporary.

Hard drugs namely, heroin, cocaine, or Oxycontin are often noted as common causes of men being unable to get an erection. Until the user is clean and the hard drugs are completely eliminated from the body, erection and intercourse may be a thing of the past for many.

Tired: This makes sense. Think about those everyday jobs in general, if you are too tired it is useless and this also applies to sex and masturbation. Chronic tiredness will have a major impact on how certain parts of the body function, including the penis, sexual desire, and the ability to get aroused. If an erection is going to occur, get more rest. Again, that is if this is why manhood stands firm in impotence mode.

Medicine: Some prescription medications, in addition to erection problems, can make it difficult for men to have an orgasm as well. Do not stop taking medications without consulting a doctor, but talk to him and ask about favorable alternatives to erection.

Stress it is the cause of 20 percent of all erectile disorders. If stress is not managed properly, it can lead to insomnia, intestinal problems, and chest pains. Relaxing helps you manage stress, so consider doing yoga or doing some light exercise or even meditation, as this will help lessen the impact of stress on the body.

Relationship: Both people in a relationship should have a good understanding of each other in situations like this. Not getting along and fighting can take a toll and the result is that you seriously ruin your sex drive and ability to act and not to mention you can’t get turned on. Talk to your partner.

Don’t be discouraged guys, there’s light at the end of the tunnel. If any of the above reasons are related to why you are having difficulty getting an erection, there is a solution.
