Myths And Facts About Viagra. Part Two.

We continue to reveal myths about Viagra. Check out Part One. 

Myth. Viagra may really help only to males who has serious problems with erection
Fact. Certainly no. Viagra may effectively help both to those whose degree and causes are insignificant and to those whose problems are much complicated. You may use Viagra even if problems occur from time to time.

Myth. Man does not need Viagra if erection in him appears every time but it can hardly be maintained
Fact. The action of Viagra is aimed not only to cause the erection but also to maintain it. The drug helps to avoid problems with erection in the beginning and during sexual intercourse.

Myth. Viagra is ineffective. I tried it and it does not work.
Fact. Do not forget that Viagra (Sildenafil Citrate) is a drug, therefore it is necessary to consult a doctor before taking Viagra. Causes of pill ineffectiveness may be different – for example, the dose was too small for you, or you ate too much food before Viagra intake (big amount of food slows down process of absorption of active ingredients into stomach walls) or you got insufficient stimulation. In order to take Viagra you should get a prescription from doctor along with his recommendations. You should necessarily follow all of them! This will help you to get maximum effects from the drug. However, if your partner is not sexually attractive for you, the erection will not occur. Viagra does not create artificial sex drive and erection. Therefore, formula for success is doctor's recommendations and a sexually attractive partner.

Myth. If I take Viagra, then at once occurs erection. What to do?
Fact. Probably this myth is most awkward. Certainly, this will not occur. Viagra is not a blind stimulant. To make drug start working there is a need for natural foreplay, kisses, touching. During such stimulation Viagra just increases blood flow into penis. Thus occurs a natural erection.

Myths And Facts About Viagra. Part One.

 Today Viagra (Sildenafil Citrate) is probably the most famous drug in the world. Moreover, about it know people who never needed it. Many people heard about Viagra but few know facts about it. This article would help you to reveal myths and truth about Viagra.

Myth. Erectile dysfunction depends mostly on psychological stare and expectations of male
Fact. We would really appreciate if this problem could be solved with heart-to-heart talks with sexual health specialist. However, clinical tests show that major erectile dysfunction causes are physical problems such as diabetes, elevated blood pressure, high cholesterol level and other. Stress may also cause erectile dysfunction. If you experience primary signs of erectile dysfunction, you should refuse from smoking and alcohol because bad habits do aggravate the disease.

Myth. Why I need Viagra if problems with sexual life do occur rarely and erectile dysfunction is just a medical term for me.
Fact. It is wrong to think that rare problems are not problems. You should know that even temporal deviation from the norm are named erectile dysfunction. In reality, 2 to 5 males from 10 sufferers do really have problems with erection. Viagra helps to not think every time about quality of erection, it guarantees appearing of firm erection in both cases when problems are temporal and permanent. More than 20 million of males have already tested the quality of Viagra and are happy with the results.

Myth. I think that it is possible to go with  erectile dysfunction
Fact. Why to go with drawbacks that may be removed? Why miss out on pleasures, feeling of joy and feeling yourself as a fully healthy man? Many males think that erectile dysfunction is an indispensable phenomenon when aging. However, erectile dysfunction is a disease. It not only may be treated but it must be treated! Viagra helps males to prolong period of active sexual life and bring back self-confidence. Do not invent age-related diseases and do not deprive yourself from sexual  pleasures.

To be continued. 

How To Deal With Erection Failure. Part Two.

 Let us move to second stage of exercises. As we told in previous post, for that exercise you need your favorable disposed partner who will help you to deal with erectile failure. Both of you should understand that you need to be selfish and think first of all about personal needs if you want treatment to be effective. Partner should be ready for a certain disappointment because on this stage you cannot have sexual intercourse regardless of possible strong arousal. Certainly, you may bring him to an orgasm with your hand or oral sex at the end of each séance.

1. Make together exercise on concentration of sensations. Relax and get pleasure of the way your partner caresses your body. Do not think about erection at all. Do not think if it occurred or not.

2. Then your partner begins to stimulate your penis with hands till erection appears but not brings you to the orgasm. Lubricant increases sensations and helps to erection achievement. It would be better to make this in daytime when you usually feel yourself more tenderly responsive.

3. When you achieved erection, your partner stops stimulation and lets erection fully go away, and then starts stimulation again. You will discover that oral stimulation is a perfect way to achieve erection again (or to achieve erection at the beginning of exercise if it was difficult). This step would show you that lost erection may be restored at your wish. When you will understand that you may achieve erection, then weaken it and then again achieve it in partner's presence, let him bring you to an orgasm.

How To Prevent Erection Failures

If you observe that erection failures occur more frequently, probably, you are waiting too much from yourself or you are trying to make sex in an inappropriate place. Check below ways to reduce to minimum these failures. Most important thing is that these tips would help to avoid anxiety which leads to a serious long-term problems.

 - Make sex only when you are disposed to it.

 - Admit that you are a human and not a machine. Your feelings and sexual performance not necessarily should be equal. Sometimes you are in condition of greater readiness and sometimes you need an additional stimulation. You should say this to your partner.

 - Avoid accidental partners, at least until you acquire self-confidence. You will trouble less and work better if you would create steady relationships with a partner whose reactions you know and whom you may trust.

 - Do not judge your quality observing condition of your penis. Mutual satisfaction may be achieved without sexual intercourse, though during physical contact erection may occur without your conscious participation.

- If you cannot achieve erection or it disappeared before sexual intercourse or during it, you should not get upset. Explain to your partner what has happened. “Probably, I am very tired today. Let us try tomorrow in the morning.” Do not feel yourself guilty and assure your partner that there is no his guilt in that. Most important is not to withdraw physically and mentally from each other only because this time you cannot achieve erection for performing sexual intercourse. Stay close with your partner by any means except sex. If you like to be together, no matter if you have erection or not, you will be less anxious the next time when experiencing erection failure.

Male Orgasm Difficulties

Inability to achieve erection or maintain it is most important problem that may disturb a man. Obsolete term "impotence” reflects feelings caused by this failure. When considering sexual functioning, this term is almost useless because it means any erection failure – from an accidental case having a simple cause to total inability to achieve erection under any circumstances.

Sometimes it is difficult to achieve erection and maintain it, especially after hard drinking or as a result of great fatigue. Such moments occur in most males. However, if those episodes became rather a rule than an exception, you should address to the doctor because this may have a medical explanation.

You should go to a doctor if you never achieved erection. The problem may have a physical cause. However, physical and hormonal causes of erection difficulties meet rarely. In most cases permanent fiasco has psychological cause. The problem may appear as a result of feeling guilt suggested in childhood or teenage, or may be developed as a result of monotony in long-term relationship.

Probably, most often this problem may occur if one or two non-significant episodes suddenly become a trouble about male sexual abilities. Male condition which usually is called “troubling about the result”constricts the ability to achieve or maintain erection.

Sometimes you could not achieve erection when you wanted it or you achieved partial erection, or you lost it in critical moment. This occurs when you are not disposed to sexual intercourse or your partner not attracts you very much.
Sometimes natural anxiety prevents from achieving erection. This anxiety may be caused by nervousness because of new relationship or feeling of guilt because of illegality of relationship.

Temporal failures have sense only when you have sticked to yourself the label of “impotent” or when you let compulsive thoughts about possible fiasco in future take roots.

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.

How to solve erection problems?
Many men feel uncomfortable to tell doctor about their sexual problems but this is the best way to get necessary help and restore sexual relationship with your partner. Doctor would establish exactly the cause and provide ways to solve the problem. 

Sex Drive In Men

One in four men in the world over 40 faces problems with potency. However, no one would uncover this secret to public.

Male may be triple Noble prize winner, but not less achievement he considers good potency and ability to maintain active sex life till aging. And for a good reason one of male organs is called manhood. “If the manhood does not work, most men see no point in life at all.” - declared Jan Erdly from European Association of Urology on Men's Health World Congress in Milano.

What differs real man from just a male is hormone testosterone. Simply put, male drive directly depends on rate of this hormone in the blood. Normally, male body produces several milligrams of testosterone daily which is enough to maintain and work on the whole body. Testosterone also is responsible for secondary sexual characteristics such as hair growth on face and body and base voice.

Testosterone is a key hormone in sex drive (libido), erection, sexual behavior and semen formation. The hormone testosterone also controls the development of muscles because it stimulates protein production in them. Without testosterone cannot work cardiovascular, nervous, circulatory and urinary systems in male body.  Testosterone has an effect on working capacity, creative potential, memory, mood and even character of a male.

Starting from 30 years, rate of testosterone lowers by 1 – 2% each year. As a result, by 50 – 55 years in male remains only half of the amount which he had in his youth. Some specialists say that the less testosterone is left, the shorter path to death is, because there exists direct connection between the testosterone rate and hypertension, diabetes, coronary disease and other diseases.

However, potency lowering and failures in sexual life (erectile dysfunction) worry males more than hypertension. And exactly fear of impotency makes males go to the doctor. However, most males first try to solve problem by themselves by following recommendations of their friends, and as a result other problems are added to the existing ones.  In women the situation is different. When women feel bad, they go to the doctor at once. Generally, they have no time to be ill, because they must take care of children.

Men must go to the doctor at once they realize they have erection problems. Here you must know that problems with erection talk about vessels condition. In male penis vessels are most subtle and narrow, that is why their work is most significant. Erectile dysfunction shows that male already has problems with cardiovascular system. Also latent diabetes is not excluded. So here the urologist would help. He would recommend to make test on hormones and sugar, consult cardiologist.

Secrets Of Male Sex Drive

Scottish scientists discovered that men who make sex not less than three times a week look 10 years younger than those who make sex 1 – 2 times a week. Scientists say that frequency of sexual life 75% depends on habit and just 25% on genetics. Today sex must be useful habit for everyone.

Feed your potency. Consume food with vitamins E and A for reproduction, vitamin B complex, which strengthen neurility of impulses through nerves helping to feel more strong.

Pomegranate juice contains antioxidants which help to widen vessels and improve blood flow into penis. In California was made an experiment in which participated 50 males from 21 to 70 years who had problems with erection. Each day participants drank pomegranate juice within a month. When the experiment has finished they said that their sexual life has improved significantly.

In Great Britain and Germany scientists learnt men to dance and discovered that hips jiggle like Elvis Presley improves potency. While dancing blood actively flows into penis. Dancing is the same effective as modern impotence medications.

Eating daily 100g of black chocolate helps to improve blood flow into penis and increases libido.

Strawberries and raspberries are best attributes of a romantic evening. Those berries are rich with zinc which participates actively in synthesis of testosterone.

Some time ago for potency improvement were used drugs containing prostaglandins of E group. Erection occured independently of desire and could last too long. Drugs of new generation (Viagra, Cialis, Levitra) provide much mild effect – their effect lasts at average 4 hours.

Erection also depends on muscles. Go to the gym regularly - physical strength and endurance improve potency and male libido.

Most higher male social status is – the most active he is in sexual life. Promotion increases potency but sudden breakaway decreases it.

When you feel you have potency problems, you must:
1. make blood test on sugar
2. check testosterone rate and make PSA test
3. make electrocardiogram of heart and ultrasound investigation of prostate gland
4. measure blood pressure in penis

How To Get Hard Erection? Part Two.

If you have difficulties with erection and you want to get it back, you should practice a special exercise called “Daily genitals massage”. Make it every day and you will get rock erections!  When you perform this exercise, do not force yourself to get an erection. Do not pay your attention if erection is or is not. Let your partner say about it. Do not worry if erection has appeared and then disappeared. In this case you should slow down your movements, relax and then again get focused on your sensations. This exercises will greatly help you.

Daily genitals massage
Every day for 10 minutes, gently massage penis, especially at its base. This helps to increase blood flow into genital area.

Do not try to cause an erection with the help of massage. Massage in order to feel penis and learn accompanying sensations. It givess new bond strengths of mind and body that is important for getting strong arousal. Gentle massage helps to develop the abiliy to focus on your sensations. Massage your penis and do not pay attention on erection.  You will see the results after making another exercise.

Erection sensation
Believe it or not but some men are so far from their bodies that they do not even know if they have erections or not. Main sensuous exercises with focus on your sensations such as touching your face, front and back sides of the body, genitals do learn you feel your body. If you do not have sensation of erection, you may feel pleasure without knowing if penis got hard enough for sexual intercourse. What is the reason? Some males do intentionally learn to ignore erection thinking it is best way to have it. This suggestion is quite true. You should forget about your genitals and start feeling them! You should focus on sensation of your genitals and not ignore them!

Before you start exercise
Think about hardness of penis in accordance with ten-point scale. Remember that level 1 means weak penis, level 5 is the beginning of erection and level 10 is absolutely hard erection. Learn to define what erection you get in the morning or when you masturbate.

Exercise
Lie on your back. Your partner starts slowly to caress front side of your body and your genitals with focus on sensations, making it around 20 minutes. At some moments she will ask you what level of erection you have got. If your level will greatly differ from her, she will ask you to open your eyes and look at the penis.

If you say your erection is on level 2 (starting of blood flow into penis ), but in fact it achieved level 5 (starting of penis hardening) you should belive it. After looking on your erection you should again close your eyes and focus on penis senstations while your partner caresses you. It will learn you to recognize level of your erection without watching on ipenis Remember that pubbocoxygennus muscles should be relaxed.

Relax your legs and breathe deeply. Your partner will ask you several times about your erection. If you will consider that erection is forced, you should turn back to the starting of blood flow into penis. For the first time, turning back to level 2 or 3 is a progress. Repeat this exercise as many times as you need in order to learn to recognize the level of penis hardening.

How To Get Hard Erection? Part One.

Special exercises may help to solve your problems with erection. Before making exercises you should prepare enough. In this post (part one) you will get recommendations helping you to prepare yourself. Then in part two you will find the exercises.

There are some moments about mind and body that can be used to achieve a good erection.
1. Attitude
You should start with your attitude and sexual awareness. Do not force yourself to erection during an exercise. When you make exercises pay more attention on arousal level and not on erection itself You will see that erection is not a center of sexual energy but erection is just its form.

2. Habits
After analyzing your attitude you should take stock your habits. Are you eating too much? Are you smoking, consuming much alcohol and taking drugs? If the answer is “yes” then these will be the cause of erection problems. After you get rid of bad habits you will see the changes in erection and generally in your sexual life, it also may help you to feel new emotions, and as a result your self-esteem will be increased.

3. Medical indications
Do you have chronic diseases that may affect erection? Diabetes, prostate diseases and disturbed circulation are most common diseases that may cause erection problems. Also, medicines may be the cause of erection problems.

4. Feelings
Finally, think about your feelings. Do you feel depression, stress or anxiety? You fell unhappy with your partner or you feel increasing estrangement? Your relationships are problematic? If your answer is “yes” then it is clear why you cannot achieve erection.

5. “Spying”
Do you “spy”? The talk is about looking at your penis and worrying about erection.  Pot on which a man looks, never boils. With the penis is the same thing. Looking at penis will not make him stand.

6. Pubococcygeal muscle
In addition to a set of physical and emotional problems that affect erection there is a possibility that during sexual intercourse you may do something that disturbs erection. Unconscious or conscious pubococcygeal muscle deformation during arousal may disturb erection. During arousal a man may reflexly constrict muscles of legs, abdomen or buttocks. Some men do this because they think it may help to achieve erection. However, happens contrary thing because the blood needed for erection flows into contract muscles. Long muscles of the body literally steals the blood that could be used for erection.

What Is A Normal Erection?

Erection reflects men's physical and mental condition. Erectile insufficiency has many causes such as diseases, stress and problems in relationship.

Although in most cases male attitude towards erection is “all or nothing” (erection is or it not), in fact, is wrong because it is possible to have intercourse with partial erection.

A man may have an absolutely soft penis and make sex with it.  Not depending on hardness of penis a man may feel all stages of excitement and finish intercourse with orgasm.

In order to understand erection as a condition you should estimate its degree according to ten points scale. Here we are interested in the degree of penis hardness. At the erection hardness scale first level means absolutely soft penis. Levels 2 – 4 mean filling when blood starts to flow into penis and as a result penis becomes warmer and thicker. Any level above 5 means herd penis. Level 10 means an extra and even painful hardness during erection.

Using this scale, please answer the question “Do you really have problems with erection?” . If you regularly achieve levels 7 - 8, you are able to have intercourse and you are not worried about your erection then there is no problem. It is normally when in most cases erection is OK but from time to time you are not able to have erection (for example, when you are drunk). Also it is normally when during intercourse levels of your erection are varied. However, if you are not able to have erection at all or you lose it regularly before penetration – this means you have problems.

Physical problems
If you know exactly that you have problems with erection and if you want to solve them, first of all, you should find out is it physical or not. Before going to the doctor and undergoing expensive medical examinations, ask the next questions:
1. Does erection occur at night or in the morning when you wake up?
2. Does erection occur at night or in the morning but with your partner you cannot achieve it?
3. Does erection occur during masturbation but not with your partner?
A healthy man usually has several erections at night and during masturbation. If you answered “yes” not at all those questions, then your erection problems have mental origins.

Erectile Dysfunction: What To Do?

More often men do not wake up during night ejaculations. Therefore, to find out if you have them or not you could need to perform special test. If you do not have night erection, doctor may search possible medical causes for that, starting from medications you take.

Viagra (Sildenafil) initially was created to treat ischemic heart disease, but during clinical tests patients noticed erection appearing. Besides Viagra there are also two medications: Levitra (Vardenafil) and Cialis (Tadalafil). Those three medications increase blood flow into penis and maintain erection enough for sexual intercourse. The effect of Viagra and Levitra appears in 1-2 hours after their taking. Thanks to Viagra, four in five patients get their sexual functions improved. The effect of Cialis keeps for 36 hours. To make those medications work, there is a need of sexual stimulation. Those medications have next side effects: headache, cold, indigestion.

After sexual intercourse occurs blood outflow from penis, and penis comes back in normal condition. Levitra improves erection in 85% of males. This medication helps to improve potency in diabetics and in those who has undergone operation on prostate gland. The medications are contraindicated for people with significant heart diseases, and also for people taking drugs containing nitrates and alpa-blockers. Acting one with another, those medications may provoke sudden lowering of blood pressure. Medications improving potency are dangerous for men who suffer from coronary heart disease, heart failure, and hypotension.

Before appearing on the market of medications mentioned above, the problem of erectile dysfunction was solved with the usage of injections which were made into penis before sexual intercourse. This method is still used today. In case of right usage, it is a quite effective procedure. Sometimes such injections and other medications do cause priapism (steady long-lasting erection). So they should be used attentively.

Erection may be kept with mechanic devises such as vacuum pumps assuring blood flow into penis, or rubber seals drawing on penis head and preventing blood outflow from penis.
Finally, special devises may be inserted surgically into penis. Those semirigid structures are quite firm for sexual intercourse but they are quite flexible to remain invisible underwear.
