Psychological Causes of Impotence

Impotence (erectile dysfunction) refers to the inability of a man to achieve or maintain an erections for satisfactory sexual intercourse. Though most of us tend to think that the root cause of this sexual dysfunction lies in some kind of a physical problem, the fact is that your mind is equally at play during the process of achieving an erection and the state of your mind highly affects your erectile function.

Impotence is something that all men dread and hate. This is because it relates to your manhood.

It can have a devastating effect on your confidence and self esteem and I know this very well because I have suffered with this highly intimate sexual problem at a young age of 21.

There are some psychological or emotional factors that can lead to erectile dysfunction in men. Studies reveal that almost 10-20% of all cases of impotence are a result of psychological or emotional issues.

Though there are drugs like Viagra and Cialis, most men shy away form them since they require embarrassing visits to the doctor. Not only this, they can also have some serious side effects as well.

Causes of impotence in men:
1.Performance Anxiety is one of the most common psychological cause or erectile dysfunction. When you perform under pressure you are likely to feel stressed. Stress increases the production of adrenalin and noradrenalin which act as erection inhibitors.
2.Stress and Depression are the two most prominent emotional causes of erectile problems in men. Stress is a major deterrent as far as your sexual function is concerned. Not only is it likely to increase the production of adrenalin and noradrenalin but also lowers your sex hormone- testosterone. This is likely to result in low libido and erectile dysfunction. Likewise, depression also leads to impotency and what is worse is that medicines that are used to treat depression also lead to erectile problems.
3.Guilt of not being able to satisfy your partner sexually or even that of cheating your partner due to extra marital relationship etc., can also result in you being a failure in bed.
