Male Sexual Dysfunction Solutions That Work For Any Man

Male sexual dysfunction - what is it? For any man as with any woman, good sexual health does of course mean the ability to have a satisfying sex life.

However, there are issues that men may have to contend with over the course of their lives (possibly you included) that women don't.

First and foremost concerning sexual dysfunction in men is the ability to have an erection and sustain it. Then you must be able to control it and determine the point of ejaculation. Also of importance is the hardness and fullness of the erection.

As such, men have a different set of male sexual dysfunction issues to deal with than a woman does.

"Causes Of Male Sexual Dysfunction"

Well for most men the causes of sexual dysfunction in men can be many, including...

• Psychogenic Causes Of Male Sexual Dysfunction

  Psychological or 'psychogenic' sexual dysfunction in men accounts for about 15 - 20% of impotence cases. It is brought about from anxiety, depression or even lack of a suitable partner. In these cases there is no apparent substantial somatic or organic impairment. In other words there is no physical damage which could be the cause of the sexual dysfunction.

  Impotence brought about by the use of anti depression drugs and beta blockers to reduce blood pressure could be considered a subset of this section as could erectile insufficiency brought on by excessive alcohol intake.

• Neurogenic Causes Of Sexual Dysfunction In A Man

  This is the term used when sexual dysfunction in men is associated with a neuropathy (e.g. nerve damage in the nervous system affecting the penis arising from, for example, surgery or a pelvic injury).

  This is the cause of male impotence in about 10 - 15 percent of cases.

• Organic Causes Of Male Sexual Dysfunction

  This is by far the greatest causes of sexual dysfunction in men and for that matter, sexual dysfunction for both a man and a woman.

  Fortunately it is also the easiest to deal with. Any sexual dysfunction in men, caused by organic means, may vary from complete impotency to just a general lack of libido (sexual desire) and loss of youthful erection hardness and ejaculatory strength.

There are multiple causes of organic erectile insufficiency but the end result is the same; which is the lack of arterial blood flow to and within the penis. Without an unimpeded flow of blood to the penis and all its capillaries an erection is just not possible.

The most common cause of lack of blood flow is due to atherosclerosis of the arteries carrying blood to the penis.

Atherosclerosis of the arteries is a condition that cannot be rectified over night, but it can in time. However, for those men for whom this condition is affecting their sexual health and sex life in general, they need a solution now.

"Male Sexual Dysfunction Solutions That Work"

Lack of libido or sexual desire is a different type of problem and sometimes a man who has an erectile problem still has strong libido and vice versa. Some men do not have erectile problems but have very low libidos.

Drugs such as Viagra cannot address this male sexual dysfunction issue but some natural formulations do.

"What Options Are Available For Male Sexual Dysfunction?"

• Psychological Options For Male Sexual Dysfunction

  If you think that your sexual problems are psychological and you can't figure out the underlying problem, or, simply don't know how to deal with it then you should seek professional help.

  Enquire with your physician or other health professional if there is a highly recommended sex therapist in your area that could help.

• Mechanical Options For Sexual Dysfunction In Men

  For those men with erectile dysfunction problems there is a device which is essentially a vacuum pump which can be placed over the penis to help draw blood into it and thus create an erection.

  After an erection is achieved a rubber ring is placed at the base of the penis to help sustain the erection. Not a popular option and understandably so.

• Drug Options For Sexual Dysfunction In Men

  There would be few people in the world who have not heard of Viagra which has been very successful and helps about 7 out of 10 men to achieve an erection. In order to assess whether this is an option for improving your sexual vitality it is important to understand what it is, how and why it works.

  Here is a brief summary of the main points.

  Viagra is an approved drug for erectile dysfunction developed by Pfizer Inc a major pharmaceutical company. The active ingredient in Viagra is a chemical called Sildenafil citrate.

  How it works is quite simple!

  As with most drugs it blocks the function of certain enzymes which affect various physiological processes. In the case of Viagra the enzyme that it blocks is called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5).

  This enzyme PDE5 is the enzyme responsible for the degradation of cGMP which is created through the action of nitric oxide. Refer to the section above on 'the physiology of an erection' for more info.

  Here is an alternate explanation:

  Production of Nitric oxide is initiated by sexual stimulation. The nitric oxide creates an enzyme which then creates cGMP which in turn opens up the blood pathways with the end result being an erection.

  At the same time that this is happening another enzyme is offsetting the enzyme that creates the cGMP. If this was not the case then men would end up with a permanent erection... uncomfortable and embarrassing!

  However, if you block the enzyme (PDE5) which degrades the nitric oxide it becomes possible to achieve an erection which was not possible whilst it was working OK. In other words to make one part work you have to stop the other part from working properly.

  This is how Viagra works. As stated earlier it works for 7 out of 10 men.

  Unfortunately there are known side effects.

  It DOES NOT address the issue of libido or sexual desire so men using this solution lack the stimulation of their neurotransmitters so important in the enjoyment of sex.

• Natural Options For Sexual Dysfunction In Men

  There is another alternative to Viagra and it's natural.

  This alternative has been known to scientists in theory for as long as Viagra has been marketed as an impotency drug.

  However, it was only in mid 2002 when a research scientist made the final breakthrough which enabled this knowledge to be put to practical use by incorporating into a unique formula which could be used by any man for erectile dysfunction.

  As you may know, the difference between a drug and a natural remedy is that a drug works by blocking the actions of various enzymes to bring about the desired result. In contrast a natural remedy works on strengthening the basic cause of the insufficiency.

  In the case of erectile dysfunction and sexual dysfunction in men in general, the researchers reasoned that if the production of nitric oxide could be returned to normal levels then the blocking of the enzyme PDE5 would not be necessary.

  So the key was to naturally raise the levels of nitric oxide which are released into the corpus cavernosum by sexual stimulation.

  It has been long known that L-Arginine will stimulate the release of nitric oxide into the corpus cavernosum. L-Arginine is a non essential amino acid meaning that it is not produced by the body. It gets into your body as part of your diet or by supplementation.

  However, getting sufficient L-Arginine by either diet or supplementation is not easy via normal 'delivery' systems such as tablets and capsules.

  Furthermore, the research scientists found that L-Arginine was not sufficiently potent enough on its own to address male sexual dysfunction and that it should be combined with other natural and organic constituents to stimulate enough release of nitric oxide in the corpus cavernosum, allowing inflow of blood, and alleviating male sexual dysfunction.

  In addition by the combination of other specific constituents such as selected bio-active herbal extracts and vitamins it was possible to further stimulate the neurotransmitters so essential in sexual pleasure.

  This is an area of male sexual dysfunction that Viagra does not address.

  Furthermore the use of certain bio-active herbs and amino acids help to restore natural balances of hormones which is also of great benefit in the greater picture of sexual vitality and preventing male sexual dysfunction.

"Are Herbs Effective For Male Sexual Dysfunction?"

Those ingredients that are considered useful for addressing male sexual dysfunction and sexual vitality in a man are as follows, some orally and some to be applied topically.

This will give you a better insight into what you need to prevent male sexual dysfunction.

"Summary Of Sexual Dysfunction In Men"

Good sexual health is very important for a man. As with a woman an active sex life for any man is also crucial for good overall health. The physiological impact of sexual dysfunction and not being able to enjoy a good sex life is probably even more serious for men than it is for women.

Its flow on effects can be even more devastating. Male sexual dysfunction is often the cause of marriage breakups, violence and general discord. On the physical side regular sex is one of the best protectors against prostate problems including prostate cancer.

Studies have demonstrated the importance of regular sex to help keep everything functioning properly in the sexual organs and helping to prevent male sexual dysfunction.

So, do what you need to do to prevent and eliminate male sexual dysfunction and make an effort to restore and enhance your sexual vitality.

Any man, regardless of age needs to be concerned with male sexual dysfunction.

A product for sexual dysfunction in men should address the physical mechanisms of sexual dysfunction such as nitric oxide production which clears the pathways to allow blood to flow to the penis. Without these cleared pathways erections are not possible.

In addition it needs to address the all important issue of libido (sexual desire). It would do this by providing nutrients that help naturally balance hormones, nourish sexual organs and neurotransmitters.

A product for sexual dysfunction in men should also be a bio-active product that specifically supports the process of penile vasocongestion with amino acids, herbal extracts and essential oils that function in nitric oxide-cGMP smooth muscle relaxation, as precursors for the formation of key neurotransmitters and neuropeptides.
