Psychogenic Sexual Dysfunction, What's That?

When talking about sexual dysfunction, our mind is usually focused on male erectile dysfunction is difficult to awaken one of the genitals of the penis.
Sexual dysfunction is collapsible so it means with the purpose to the satisfaction and the desire of men to always be brave stand in front of her partner. Not many people think that women also have the same problem of sexual dysfunction and it is equally fun as male erectile difficulties.


However, this time again I side with the men because the case will be discussed this time is more often subtle, if in males than females.


Psychogenic erectile dysfunction
Erection is a natural thing in the normal male. Readiness in sexual relations after passing through a phase of arousal is characterized by the hardening of the penis resulting from a full penile blood vessels.
Erection of a well-characterized by the ability of men to maintain an erection during the process of excitation to the phase just prior to penetration and ejaculation. After that erection hardness will be gradually reduced until the resolution phase.


However, what about men who have difficulty erection when having intercourse with her legal spouse, but not with another woman? The answer is Psychogenic Erectile Dysfunction.


I had a few male patients who experience this condition. Erectile difficulties when dealing with his life partner, but could erect a maximum when dealing with other women.


Guilt can make erection difficulties getting into. The women are feeling inferior or even angry because they think the man has seen it not interesting anymore. Anger is not make this condition better, will actually make things more difficult for both parties.


What to do?
Examination of both physiologically and psychologically indispensable. Easiest to detect this is not by trying to have sex with other women if it has been experiencing erectile difficulties when dealing with a legitimate partner.
The earliest way to detect this is to notice the erection when you wake up in the morning. If an erection wake up (morning erection) is still good, but when the wife have intercourse with no or difficult, then you need to worry about the existence of psychogenic erectile dysfunction.


The handling of this problem is not with drugs already known from groups such as Viagra sildenafil, but rather by focusing on internal psychological problems.
The couple could start by talking about it among them in advance. If it is difficult, it can ask the help of a sex counselor, psychiatrist or clinical psychologist who is an expert in the field of sex. Appropriate and rapid solution to this problem would be very good forward and could save the marriage.
