Our society places certain expectations on men. A man shouldn\u2019t complain, should be decisive, strong, brave, should know how to woo a woman\u2026the list goes on and on. More importantly, one of the greatest expectations placed on a man is that he should take charge in bed.<\/p>\n

In fact, the right words to use are that he should be a \u2018Ninja\u2019 in bed; with an award-winning performance each time. Such expectations often put so much pressure on men to perform beyond their capacity.<\/p>\n

These expectations make it hard for men to speak out or seek help when they have sexual health problems such as erectile dysfunction. Thus for many men, the idea that someone might know that you need help is worse than not getting any help at all.<\/p>\n

Men suffer in silence<\/h2>\n

As such, men suffer in silence because they are ashamed to talk about their sexual health problems<\/a> and keep on pretending that everything is fine.<\/p>\n

Men suffer in silence with sexual health problems<\/p><\/div>\n

If you listen to a group of men holding a casual conversation, you could easily mistake them for superheroes. You\u2019ll often hear them narrate their wild sexual escapades, and brag about their sexual prowess in bed.<\/p>\n

To add salt to the injury, your male friends will be quick to remind you, if you suck in bed, she will definitely cheat on you.<\/p>\n

The other problem is that we have a generation of men that have learned everything they know about sex through watching pornography.<\/p>\n

Anyway, where else do you expect a curious teenager to learn about sex when it is not taught in school<\/a>, in church and it is a taboo to speak about it at home?<\/p>\n

Least do they know that porn is just a scripted and unrealistic performance shot for hours, with numerous stops and editing, and then repackaged into a 30 minutes film\u2026I guess this should be a topic for another day!<\/p>\n

To cut the long story short, just as a trailer is to a movie, so is porn to real sex.<\/p>\n

The scenario<\/h2>\n

Back to the agenda of the day, picture this scenario:<\/p>\n

She\u2019s just called you and told you she\u2019s coming over. You are excited! To add icing to the cake; she\u2019s told you she\u2019s wearing some sexy lingerie.<\/p>\n

To get your head spinning, she texts you while she\u2019s on the way that her tiny panties feel a bit uncomfortable so she\u2019s decided to slip them off, to \u201ccatch a breeze<\/em><\/span>\u201d. \u2013 Girls! Hope you are taking notes! (Pun intended).<\/p>\n

By the time she gets home, your \u2018Engine is revving<\/em><\/span>,\u201d well greased and ready to go.<\/p>\n

There is only one problem; \u2018HE<\/em>\u2019 has the habit of disappointing you when you need him most. Your member tends to finish the business before you even get started (premature ejaculation<\/strong>), or even worse, he never rises up to the occasion (erectile dysfunction<\/strong>) [1].<\/p>\n

Mind you, this is not a soft porn script extract, but a scenario that repeatedly occurs to a great number of men across the globe.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, most men suffer in silence because the thought that someone might know you need help is worse than not getting help at all.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Very disappointing right! Yes! Fortunately, here is some information to help you tackle your rather embarrassing problem.<\/p>\n

Most of the times, you might find out that this is not a serious problem; you just need to relax especially if the cause is psychological issues! Most of the other causes can be quickly resolved when you consult a doctor.<\/p>\n

What is erectile dysfunction?<\/h2>\n

Popularly known as impotence, it is a condition where a man cannot get an erection or maintain it. It is a common condition that affects both young and old. However, it is more prevalent in older ages; where almost half of the men between the ages of 40 and 70 experience it to some degree [2].<\/p>\n

Causes Erectile Dysfunction<\/h2>\n

The causes are either physical or psychological. A qualified physician is best suited to establish the root cause of your problem and treat it effectively.<\/p>\n

However, here is a quick diagnosis. If you normally get an erection in some situations like when you masturbate or you normally wake up with the \u2018morning wood<\/em><\/span>\u2019 (you wake up with an erection), then your problem is likely to be psychological. Thus, your problem might be caused by stress, bad past sexual experiences, anxiety, extreme excitement (especially if it is your first time or times<\/em>) [3]\u2026I think you now get the point.<\/p>\n

The problem is probably physical if you cannot get an erection at all. The possible physical causes include [4]:<\/p>\n
