Erection is an insufficient erection or excitement. Men’s and women’s mechanisms or excitement are completely different. But in a real life they have much in common. However the problems, connected with excitement and ability to have sexual intercourse, have gender character.
Men’s sexual excitement is expressed in the penis erection, which depends on the stimulation of the certain tissue and is regulation by means of vegetative nervous system. The ejaculation process is regulated by sympathetic nervous system. The erection, as well as ejaculation, depends on the part of the brain which is influenced very much by our emotional state. When the two functions of our brain are switched on at a time, one of them is working in anti-phase. In means, the mechanism which is stronger now, tries, to neutralize the other mechanism. Speaking about sexual problems, we can say that it is difficult to run away from the bull trying to keep erection.
In such a way we can say that when a man is afraid of something he will certainly have problems with erection in the nearest future. The symptoms of loosing the erection can appear after the first episode of impotent ion. Problems with erection can be the reason of uneasiness. It suppresses the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing the excitement. It can, it its turn, cause untimely ejaculation, when the erection isn’t strong enough. The growing uneasiness stimulates the sympathetic stimulation and it can cause some changes in parasympathetic impulses and, finally, the erection can disappear at all.
Usually the doctors try to avoid the word impotent ion with regard to a man or frigidity to a woman. It can happen because of several reasons. First of all, the word “impotence” is so widely used in everyday life that no one can say its primary meaning, in other words- its symptoms, connected with the given disease and the possibility to explain them clearly to a patient. Secondly the term “impotence” has completely negative meaning and in the same time it is very serious sexual dysfunction.
Very often, what we know as “impotence” in everyday language, the doctors characterize as insufficient erection or sexual excitement.
The insufficiency of the erection or sexual excitement can be primary or secondary, full or partial. The insufficient erection can exist from the very beginning of the sexual activity or can be developed after some period of normal functioning. Besides, the erection dysfunction can happen, for example, also with women, and the reasons will be similar.
Very often the reasons of the insufficient erection or sexual excitement (in both-men and women), can be the absence of interest to you partner or the fear of an insufficient sexual competence. If we regard the fear as the primary reason of the problems with erection, we cannot but say that they can be the reason of the secondary erection problems, even when the primary problem was caused by other reasons. The primary erection absence can happen very rarely and it can be connected with some physical problems. Such problems can stand on the way of the normal erection and are the result of deficient or incorrect genitals development, or the problems with the nervous system which can cause the complete erection absence- these are psychological problems. In this case, the full medical examination of the patient is made. First of all it necessary to get rid of any other erection problems. Then there is held a psychotherapeutically course which can return the ability to erection. Very often enough, as the result of such dysfunction, there can take place some orientation declinations. For example, a person can have some homosexual inclination. Thus, trying to have sex with a woman, a man has some kind of uneasiness, and it influences his erection negatively.
Sometimes a man looses erection when he’s afraid not to satisfy a woman. In addition, very, often such anxiety is stronger when man considers himself to be not competent in sexual affairs and re is afraid of not knowing when a woman is excited enough. It is true that when a woman is not excited enough at the beginning of a sexual intercourse, the process the erection is negatively influenced negatively and even up to it’s disappearing.
But when the erection disorder is partial or it is changing, then in this case there exist certain psychological reasons.
The absence of erection after several years of a normal sexual life can be a sign of some misunderstanding between partners and in the middle age it can have some natural reasons. These can be some hormone disorders, some diseases, and depression or side- effects after taking widely-spread medicines which are prescribed to treat other illnesses.
The medicines, which can influence the normal erection, include wide range of pills for high blood-treasure, hormone pills. However, the doctors usually warn about possible consequences and complications, including the erection dysfunction.
