When it comes to erectile dysfunction, all too often men just want to treat the problem and hope it goes away. This is a condition that is awkward and uncomfortable, and men seek the first available treatment without educating themselves adequately, hoping it will go away fast. The problem with this is that it is so easy to get consumed with a problem that is effecting you both physically and emotionally, that you forget to take the necessary precautions you would normally take to maintain your overall health. A recent study just found that men in America over the age of 40 that are taking medication for erectile dysfunction are being diagnosed with STD’s at a rate two times higher than American men over the age of 40 that are not taking medication for erectile dysfunction. What does this tell you? ED medication is in fact so effective at treating ED, that it is leading to a more sexually active lifestyle, but not necessarily sexually healthy. Read here to find out how you can stay healthy overall, and still have the active sex life that you enjoy.

It all boils down to remembering what it was like to enjoy the heat of the moment. Men over forty that are enjoying a renewed sense of spirit on ED medication are simply forgetting the basics. If you are a man that has experienced ED, you know just how debilitating that can be emotionally. It is easy to feel emasculated, worthless, and down on yourself when you are faced with such an uncomfortable situation. You may even feel like you will never experience the euphoria of intimacy again. With effective treatment of ED medication, all of those feelings vanish, and you feel like the king of the world again. And you should. But you also must remember, maintaining your common sense in the heat of the moment is just as critical to your health now, as it was when you were 18.

The study discussed above was found in The Annals of Internal Medicine journal, and this study found that younger men in America were still getting STD’s faster than their older male counterparts. Even so, the rate of STD’s in men taking ED medication is more than twice as high as the rates in those not taking ED medication. This study went on further to discuss how men over fifty are six times less likely to use a condom than men in their twenties. In order to determine if ED medication had an effect on STD rates, researchers for this study further examined insurance records for over 1.5 American males over forty. This examination led to a discovery of high rates of STD’s, in conjunction with a 14% rate of men using ED medication. Since many men do not use insurance to pay for ED medication, researchers concluded the rate of men on ED medication with a medical history of STD’s would be even higher than the indicated 14%.

This study is validated by statistics found at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC conducted their own statistical analysis to find that between the years of 1996 and 2008, STD rates in the over forty male crowd rose more than 75%. (more…)

Let us expalin from the start, before we go any further as this kind of question can land you in trouble… It’s fairly easy to see whether a man is sexually excited, and for the cooperative and expectant partner, the real test whether the erection is sufficiently hard to penetrate. If it’s not, the expectations are dashed in a wave of mutual frustration. But when it comes to women, there are less obvious signs of excitement, except of hardening of the nipples sometimes as an extra lubrication. Without an evidence to signal readiness, women tend to play the role of a passive partner.

Both women’s and men’s readiness to sex depend on libido, a basic human drive to propagate. Most animals of the same species put together, sooner or later, both will mate. The strongest animals will survive through their “offspring”, as designed genetically. This gives both animals and humans an appetite for sex. The fact we might be thinking animals and can talk our way into and out of enthusiasm for any activity, does not change the basic drive to engage in sex. After all, our bodies reward us by making it so enjoyable. This reality of enjoyment can, however, be lost. People who are seriously stressed or depressed tend to lose interest in sex. Others, even though not depressed, also seem to have a weak libido producing poor performance in intimate situations. In psychology, this can be because of body image problems like obesity, or because of traumatic sexual experiences as children. But, in physical terms, it can be evidence of a disease of the thyroid, low levels of hormones or other measurable disorders. It can equally be something simple like loss of sleep or problems in the relationship. (more…)
