Living with ED
The most ED Sufferer Excuses
The first thing you should do to get back to great sex is really simple – just stop making excuses. Problems in the bedroom, does not matter they are physical or psychological, male or female, prosper on silence. Just stop the lame excuses and pretexts. If you want to get on your way back to great sex -start communicating with your partner and your doctor.
Doctors say that usually, patients come to them only after they have put up with ED for months, years, even decades. They are come up with all kinds of excuses for not consulting about their most intimate problem with their doctor. But the thing is that there really no excuse. We will share some of them with you, check them out – some of them might be yours!
It does not really disturb me.
First to say that it might be does not disturb you now, but you should know that it is really important for you, because it may does you in the future. Your life can be diminished and more complicated because of your sexual dysfunction. It can reduce the quality of life, make you depressed, frustration, and stress and produce conflicts in your job and your relationships. If you would have constant pain from a knee injury and because of it you would have difficulty to walk, then wouldn’t you seek for the help? You would know that your dysfunction would limit your life in some way: you won’t be able walk around your favorite park, you won’t be able to go dancing on Sunday nights with your wife or girlfriend, you won’t be able to walk the tennis course as you used to, and your soccer days will be over. You would go and get help, because you would understand that quality of your life would be really lowered and if there is the way to help you, then why not to go and not to get help? If you think that your knee is not as personal as your penis, than it is not excuse you if you do not talk to your doctor.
It is normal - I’m just getting older.
It is absurd to think that if you’re getting older it means that you have stopped desiring or enjoying sex. Even for those of advanced age sex is generally desirable, enjoyable, and quite common. Even if you’ve turned 50 or 60 or even 80, it does not mean that you have to stop having sex just because age is the most proven risk factor for ED. Sometimes it can result from long-standing bad habits: smoking, alcoholism, or use of illegal drugs. ED is could be as a result of other diseases of the aging body: diabetes, high blood pressure, stress, depression, and heart disease. But it absurd, to think, that you should stop seeking for the help to restore great sex, just because of any of those factors or because of your age. May be it will go away on its own. No. ED almost does not go away on its own volition. It may not really disturb you because of an underlying condition, but if you won’t pay any attention to it, it won’t be just disappeared overnight.. By ignoring it you won’t make it go away, conversely, it will only complicate the matter.
It is gonna be better when I’ll be not so stressed about work. It is true - stress affects lots of your life aspects, and definitely it might produce ED. But you’d better make a call to your doctor, if your stress goes down and you still have ED.
It is just because of my high blood pressure medication.
Yes, your sexual function may be affected and your high blood pressure may be at fault as well, by many medications. But does it mean that you have to live with the ED? Does it mean that you won’t be able to solve this problem, if you will call your doctor and explain the problem? The doctor might adjust the dosage of your medication or change your prescription. It’s because of my partner. Even if your partner may not enjoy sex as much as before, because of her age and changes in her body, she is not the cause of your ED. You should seek doctor’s help to find out what is the reason of your sexual problem. Just be hones and open when you consulting a doctor. Probably it is just from drinking too much. Of course alcohol affects sexual function in some way, but, usually, takes protected and exorbitant drinking to produce ED. A glass of wine at the dinner won’t really affect your sexual function.
I am just thinking too much about it.
Well, there are some cases of ED are solely psychologically based. But even then you should talk to your doctor. Any physical problem might become a psychological. I am not sure who I can talk to. You can talk to your primary care physician. He will be able to direct you to specialist. So, did you find any excuses which you like to use? By now you see - there are no excuses. Your sexuality is aggregate. And it is not a way to solve this problem, just by rest or a vacation or a prescription.
You as a whole person:
your mind, your body, your self-esteem, and your partner get affected by ED. The best treatment, which you can get, will come only when you will realize that you should treat not just one part, but the whole self. Give up the excuses. Stop delay the discussion with your doctor. Start to educate yourself to be prepared to ask your doctor intelligent questions and to talk to your partner about your feelings. Start now to get back to great sex and normal living!
