Psychological Treatment for Male Sexual Enhancement

When no physical cause can be found for ED, men can try therapy with a psychiatrist, psychologist, or sex therapist. Counseling is often effective, especially when the man's partner is also Involved. In addition, men who have ED as a result of a physical problem often develop psychological issues, and they and their partners are frequently helped by the intervention of a trained therapist.

Viagra has been shown to work regardless of whether the cause of ED is physical or psychological, so it is likely that men with psychogenic (psychologically related) impotence will try the pill. In fact, according to results of the drug trials, these men are more likely to find Viagra effective than are men who have physical causes for ED. Their best choice might be to use the pill in conjunction with therapy and perhaps, at some time in the future when their personal problems are resolved, they may no longer need the pill.

As you can see, all the different physical treatments for erectile dysfunction have serious drawbacks. They are invasive, painful, expensive, unreliable, awkward, or even potentially dangerous. In addition, none requires sexual stimulation to work they are all quite mechanical.

Even men who had long term problems with their erections and were sufficiently motivated to seek help were not entirely pleased with the available choices. Many tried one or another method and gave up, for a variety of reasons. For some, the therapy just didn't work. For others, it was too much trouble.

For any patient who ever asked his doctor, "Why isn't there a pill I can take for this?" there is an answer, "Now there is."
