What Causes Erection Problems

Depression
Sexual arousal starts in the head and then goes below. Depression may lower your desire and lead to erectile dysfunction (impotence). By a twist of fate, many drugs for depression treatment inhibit sexual desire and aggravates erection.

Alcohol
Consumption of alcohol may prevent erection appearing but this has temporal character. The good news is that moderate consumption of alcohol reduces risks for cardiovascular development but the excess of alcohol causes the development of erectile dysfunction.

Drugs
Excessive consumption of drugs, including blood pressure normalization drugs, pain relief drugs and antidepressants, causes erectile dysfunction. Narcotic substances such as amphetamines, cocaine and marijuana do provoke sexual problems in men.

Stress
Stress has negative effects on human body including male penis. In order to get rid of stress you should change your lifestyle. You should make sport and consult a specialist when needed.

Anger
Anger makes blood flow into face. When you intend to make sex the face is not right place where the blood should flow. Besides this, how can you think about romance when you are angry and here is not important who caused your anger – your partner or someone else.

Anxiety
Permanent anxiety and fear of failure in bed only aggravate the situation. Anxiety has negative effects on sexual life. Fear and escape from sex caused by anxiety put at threat not only your sexual life but generally your relationship.

Obesity
Excess kilograms may affect your sexual life not because of lowering of self-esteem. In obese men is produced less testosterone which plays important role in process of sexual arousal and erection. Excess weight is connected with high blood pressure which leads to reduction of blood flow into penis. 

Low libido
Low libido is not the same as erectile dysfunction but it may have alike signs. Low libido prevents erection and reduces interest for sex. Low libido may be caused by anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and some drugs.
