You spend weeks planning a special evening for you and your lady. Candles, soft music and a romantic dinner overlooking the water. Everything is set and dinner goes off without a hitch. She leads you back to the bedroom and suddenly nothing works properly anymore. You are embarrassed and both of you leave unsatisfied. It’s happened to everyone at some point but if you find it happening to you with some regularity there may be bigger issue at play especially if you are over forty years old. You may be experiencing Erectile Dysfunction (ED).
You are not alone. Just in Switzerland, more than one million men suffer from ED and one in five of these men is over the age of forty.

So what causes Erectile Dysfunction and what can you do about it?

Erectile Dysfunction is the inability to get and maintain an erection that is firm enough for sexual intercourse. Normally, when aroused, blood flows into the chambers of the penis and becomes trapped there making the penis erect until orgasm sends nerve messages to the penis to send the blood back into the bodies circulation which causes the penis to go limp. When a man is suffering from ED, the process is interrupted causing an erection that isn’t firm enough for sexual intercourse.

There are many causes of ED with some being more serious than others. It can be caused by stress, low self esteem, mental health problems, obesity, side effects from certain medications or alcohol and drug consumption. It can also be an early indicator of a more serious medical issue like high blood pressure, diabetes or heart disease. It’s important to see your doctor so that he or she can rule out any of these serious medical conditions.

When talking to your doctor make sure to ask about prescription Viagra. This prescription pill is taken only when needed and begins to work within thirty to sixty minutes but can be taken up to four hours before sexual intercourse. Viagra works by increasing blood flow to the penis and trapping it there giving you an erection that is firm enough for sex. Don’t worry though, Viagra only works when you are sexually stimulated so you know you are safe taking it before your date and you won’t have to worry about getting hard before you are ready.
