205913
After years of living and wisdom have accumulated, a man of position and authority is said to be impotent.\n\n\nImpotency amounts to erectile dysfunction.  If you are unable to attain an erection for a long enough period of time or firm enough to complete intercourse then that is erectile dysfunction.\n\nSex with elderly partners causes impotency?  Just turn out the lights and use your imagination.

Connection between ejaculation frequency and prostate health \nhttp://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/4961.html\n\nQUESTION:\nI have been coming across articles on the connection between masturbation, ejaculation, and overall health. I was very surprised about this article from the Cancer Council Victoria in Australia . It was a study that confirmed that ejaculation frequency is important for a healthy prostate. The protective effect was most significant in men in their twenties who ejaculated on average 7 or more times per week. It compared this against same-age men who ejaculated less than 3 times per week. I made a New Year's resolution to pay attention to my body and to ejaculate at least once a day. I feel much better for it and my penis strength and sexual urge has increased immensely. I feel balanced. After a year, I can't imagine going back to my old repressed frequency and probably couldn?t keep from cumming for a whole day if I tried now. Why aren?t people made aware of this need? After getting used to daily +, I often have the urge to do it even more, but hold back. Are there any physical problems with over ejaculating? \n\nANSWER:\nWhat a fabulous New Year’s resolution to pay attention to your body!  Your efforts are worth applauding, as being in tune with yourself and your new masturbation schedule seems to have paid off, as you note that you feel “balanced” and “much better for it.”  Happily, no physical problems are associated with over-ejaculating, so don’t worry about giving in to the natural urge to enjoy and pleasure yourself more often.  You clearly have a strong awareness of the positive effects of masturbation on your body, so go ahead and experiment with masturbation frequency – in this way, you can determine what frequency feels best for you and your regular routine.\n\nYou also ask why people aren’t made aware of the “need” to masturbate often.  Good question – especially in light of the study’s findings that frequent ejaculation helps reduce the risk of prostate cancer.  Unfortunately, self-stimulation – as with most sexual acts – is often viewed as shameful, dirty, immoral, and all sorts of other negative adjectives.  Wouldn’t it be great if masturbation could be seen as the healthy, enjoyable, and beneficial activity it really is, openly talked about and (gasp!) endorsed?  Perhaps one day it will be – with more people like you who are open-minded and bold enough to talk about it in a positive light.  \n\nEnjoy – and pass that article along to friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, and anybody and everybody else! \n\nMASTURBATION MYTHS:\nfrom http://www.jackinworld.com/library/myths.html\n\nChances are, of all the things you've heard about masturbation, most of them were absolutely false. For some reason, misinformation surrounds masturbation like virtually no other topic. How do you spot a masturbation myth? One simple method is to ask yourself if the statement is also true of sexual intercourse. When you're masturbating, your body only knows it's getting sexually stimulated; it doesn't know by what means. So, for instance, if the question is whether or not masturbation causes acne, think of it this way: If it did, intercourse would also cause acne. In fact, neither masturbation nor intercourse cause acne.\n\nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes hair to grow on your palms.\nFACT:\nHow many people with hair on their palms have you seen?  \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes hair loss, chronic fatigue, and other problems.\nFACT:\nInternet scam artists have tried to invent a concept called "overmasturbation," insisting that you have to buy their expensive herbal pills in order to counteract the effect of masturbating more than a couple of times per week. But the pills have absolutely no effect — and masturbating once or twice a day will not make your hair fall out, or cause anything else they claim.\nMYTH:\nMasturbation is bad for your eyesight. \nFACT:

It's called dyspareunia (difficult or painful intercourse) it could be superficial, deep, primary or secondary. this can be related to injury during childbirth, lack of lubrication, a history of incest(psychological), sexual abuse,, or assault, endometriosis, pelvic infection, vaginal atrophy with menopause, gastrointestinal disorders, fibroids, UTI, STDs, etc.  One or two of these may have caused it. The best thing to do is to check it out with your doc. Sometimes this could happen if you have unresolved conflicts with partner or any other.

Masturbation is a perfectly normal and healthy pastime, but if it is becoming detrimental to your relationship because you PREFER to masturbate then have sex with your partner, then there could be an issue.\nWhat is the reason you and your partner are not having sex?  If your partner is 'off' sex at the moment, you should be takling and finding out why- she could be stressed, having health problems or going through some emotional difficulties.  As her partner, you should be helping her get to the root of any problems she may be having, and helping her solve them.\nIf you yourself are PREFERRING to masturbate rather than have sex, then you have some issues of your own which need confronting.  Are you tired from work?  Worried about something?  Anxious about sexual performance?  Perhaps you no longer find her attractive- again, this is normal but can be detrimental to a healthy sexual relationship.  Perhaps if you address the deeper issues, everything else will work itself out.  I wish you and your partner luck and success, because there is nothing more fulfilling than a healthy sexual relationship.  All the best for the future.

A significant number of men develop impotence from psychological causes that can be overcome. When a physiological cause is treated, subsequent self-esteem problems may continue to impair normal function and performance. Qualified therapists (e.g., sex counselors, psychotherapists) work with couples to reduce tension, improve sexual communication, and create realistic expectations for sex, all of which can improve erectile function. Psychological therapy may be effective in conjunction with medical or surgical treatment. Sex therapists emphasize the need for men and their partners to be motivated and willing to adapt to psychological and behavioral modifications, including those that result from medical or surgical treatment.\n\nMedical Treatment Oral Medication Oral medications used to treat erectile dysfunction include selective enzyme inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil Viagra , vardenafil HCl [Levitra], tadalafil [Cialis]) and yohimbine (Yohimbine, Yocon).\n\nSelective enzyme inhibitors are available by prescription and may be taken up to once a day to treat [5]ED. They improve partial erections by inhibiting the enzyme that facilitates their reduction and increase levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP, a chemical factor in metabolism), which causes the smooth muscles of the penis to relax, enabling blood to flow into the corpora cavernosa. Patients taking nitrate drugs (used to treat chest pain) and those taking alpha-blockers (used to treat high blood pressure and benign prostatic hyperplasia) should not take selective enzyme inhibitors.\n\nMen who have had a heart attack or stroke within the past 6 months and those with certain medical conditions (e.g., uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe low blood pressure or liver disease, unstable angina) that make sexual activity inadvisable should not take [6]Cialis®. Dosages of the drug should be limited in patients with kidney or liver disorders.\n\nViagra is absorbed and processed rapidly by the body and is usually taken 30 minutes to 1 hour before intercourse. Results vary depending on the cause of [7]erectile dysfunction, but studies have shown that Viagra is effective in 75% of cases. It helps men with erectile dysfunction associated with diabetes mellitus (57%), spinal cord injuries (83%), and radical prostatectomy (43%).\n\nIn clinical studies, Levitra has been shown to work quickly, provide consistent results, and improve sexual function in most men the first time they take the drug. It also has shown to be effective in men of all ages, in patients with diabetes mellitus, and in men who have undergone radical prostatectomy. Cialis has been shown in clinical trials to stay in the body longer than the other selective enzyme inhibitors. It promotes erection within 30 minutes and enhances the ability to achieve erection for up to 36 hours.\n\nhttp://www.edpills.net/article_viagra_cialis_levitra.php

How can masturbating excessively so often bad for you? And what is impotence EXACTLY?\n \nMasturbation is neither good nor bad, depending on how often you can afford to do so without affecting the functions of other organs. In one recently published study, ninety-five percent of men and eighty-seven percent of women have practiced masturbation occasionally. The study further indicated those men usually experience an orgasm when they masturbate and learn how to masturbate before engaging in any sexual intercourse. Another important finding showed males who masturbate frequently during adolescence continue this sexual behavior into their adulthood with the frequency increasing. Is this addictive behavior of masturbation harmful to your body? To answer this question, one has to understand how ejaculating works. An orgasm or ejaculation discharges the bioelectric energy (bio-energy) stored by the parasympathetic nervous subsystem via the sympathetic nervous action. It is supposed to discharge the bio-energy stored in the sexual organs. This is why an orgasm is associated with a burst and subsequent release of tension. When the sexual organs are insufficiently charged, the sympathetic system will draw the energy from other organs, deactivating the associated organs and slowing down the response of the Central Nervous System (CNS) which is the commander of the endocrine and nervous function. So, frequent masturbation and consequent ejaculation will result in depleting other organs of bio-energy since the sexual organs can’t support the release of bio-energy being drawn from over-masturbation. The association of masturbation with guilt and anxiety is partly due to the ignorance of the fact masturbation is not harmful. These negative sentiments are partly due to centuries of religious teachings that masturbating is sinful. In addition, many of us have received negative messages about masturbation from our parents or have even been punished when caught masturbating as children. The cumulative effect of these influences is usually confusion and guilt, which is often difficult to sort out. However, the only time masturbation can be ‘bad’ or harmful is when it becomes compulsive. Compulsive masturbation, like all other compulsive behaviors, is a sign of an emotional problem and needs to be addressed by a mental health specialist. Sex, of course, is extremely pleasurable and all things pleasurable are addictive. Over-masturbation can cause serious problems that aren’t limited to the bedroom. Frequent masturbation should be addressed. So, contrary to ancient and popular beliefs, masturbation does not lead to unbridled lust, make you blind or deaf, give you the flu, drive you crazy, grow hair on your hand, make you stutter, or kill you. Rather, masturbation is a natural and harmless expression of sexuality in both men and women and a perfectly good way to experience sexual pleasure. In fact, some experts argue that masturbation improves sexual health by increasing an individual's understanding of his or her own body and of what is erotically pleasing, building self-confidence and fostering self-acceptance. This knowledge can then be carried forth to make for a more satisfying sexual relationship with one's partner, both through each partner's comfort with mutual masturbation and because of the ability to tell each other what is most pleasing. It is a good idea for a couple to discuss their attitudes about masturbation and to calm any insecurities a partner may have if the other should sometimes favor masturbation over sexual intercourse. In some relationships, masturbation may be mutually acceptable. Done alone or in the presence of a partner, the act can be pleasing and add to mutual intimacy if it is not experienced as a rejection. Like most behaviors, without proper communication, the act of masturbation can be a sign of anger, alienation, or displeasure with the way the relationship is progressing.Overcoming society&#

Please don't worry... Read the following article...\nTake care,\n\nSexual Concerns of Men with Diabetes\n\nImpotence is often the subject of jokes, but as men age (and for many men with diabetes), impotence is no laughing matter. It is primarily a problem of men in their fifties or older, and men with diabetes are at higher risk. In fact, 50 to 60 percent of men over the age of 50 who have diabetes have some degree of impotence. (Impotence refers to the frequent, not occasional, inability to become or stay erect.)\n\nImpotence can have both psychological and physiological causes. Impotence with a psychological basis often begins suddenly, while impotence with a physical cause usually comes on slowly, beginning with a less rigid penis and fewer erections, and worsens over time, until the man is unable to sustain an erection. In men with diabetes, it is most often caused by nerve- or blood vessel-related problems of the disease. For example, if blood vessel damage prevents blood flow to the penis, it can no longer become erect, or if the nerves that signal the penis become damaged, the result can be failure to become erect. \n\nThe best way for a man with diabetes to avoid physiological impotence is to maintain good blood glucose control, as well as avoid smoking, decrease alcohol intake and keep blood pressure normal. But when impotence becomes a concern, a frank discussion with your doctor can get to the root of the problem.\n\nDetermining the cause of impotence, which must be done before appropriate treatment can be recommended, may involve a number of different tests. As part of an evaluation, it is also important to inform your doctor about any medications you are taking, including items you buy without a prescription, because some drugs taken for common ailments can contribute to impotence. If medication may be causing impotence, your doctor may be able to change or adjust it. However, you should never stop taking any prescribed medication without consulting with your doctor. Smoking and drinking alcohol can also contribute to impotence.\n\nToday, doctors can offer a variety of treatments for physiological impotence, so going through the diagnostic procedures is well worth the effort. Common treatments include injecting a drug directly into the penis to produce an erection lasting 30 to 60 minutes; using a vacuum pump to produce an erection; and implanting a device (penile prosthesis) in the penis to produce erections. Your doctor will discuss the benefits and risks of each of these treatments to help you make a decision about which, if any, of these options is best for you.\n\nIf the impotence is believed to have a psychological basis, your physician can refer you to a therapist who specializes in dealing with sexual issues.

Actually, the reverse is true.\n\nThe reason I know this is the personal experience of a 38 year-old male friend of mine a few years ago.  He has been without a partner for some time (8 years in fact) and relied on "self-service" during that time.\n\nWhen he did begin a relationship with a partner, he could no longer function properly and required medical treatment.\n\nThe doctor advised him that effectively the blood vessels had atrophied over the time primarily because masturbation does not sustain an erection for long enough to keep the blood vessels healthy.

Ejaculation of this type is an obvious anomaly.\n\nPossibly hormones out of wack on account of stress or past pattern of excess sexual stimulation.\n\nYour system likely debilitated. Get busy see your GP, may need an endocrinologist evaluate your situation.

Well, it's not to the level of giving birth, but there are a variety of male "pains." There's male-patterned baldness, prostate enlargement in old age (along with prostate cancer), a higher risk of kidney stones (which I have heard as the male equivalent of giving birth in terms of pain). Males are also more prone to mental and genetic disorders...fun for all. None of these though, would really match giving birth, that's one of the many reasons to respect women.

Viagra! I'm 65 and a few years ago found I was having a bit of a problem maintaining erections during intercourse. No problems with masturbation or receiving oral sex because you don't need a full erection of either. Viagra did the trick and I have no problems getting or maintaining erections now. My girlfriend and I are both happy! Nothing to be ashamed about...a very common situation for guys as they get older. A couple of other drugs, Cialis and Levitra work pretty much the same way. If you have the problem, discuss it with your doctor. Don't get ripped off by web purchases...it's more expensive and may even be phony pills. There are a few people that shouldn't take these drugs...it can kill you if you are using nitrite drugs for your heart for example! For the majority of guys it's okay and the doctor will give you a sample pack and a prescription. Side effects are usually minor and temporary...a flushed face, blurred vision, headaches for some (none seem to apply to me). Biggest negative is the cost of pills...$8 to $10 a pop, regardless of the dosage...but it's worth it for a better sex life. Some (but not all) prescription drug plans even cover it! Younger guys, you really don't need it...it's not a magic b---r pill...you still need that manual or visual stimulation to get that erection. It's also one of the most overused drugs in history!

Masturbation is normal, healthy and fun! Your body will tell you when you are doing it too much. Unless you are obsessed with it and it's keeping you from doing other things (which is VERY unlikely!), enjoy it! Forget all that nonsense about side effects. There aren't any! To the contrary, there is more and more evidence it is good for your mental and physical health, especially as you get older. I've been doing it for over 50 years (really!) and I ain't blind yet. Enjoy (at any age!)

Erectile dysfunction, sometimes called impotence, refers to a man's consistent inability to get or maintain an erection sufficient to have satisfactory sex. It does not mean a lack of sexual interest or desire or the occasional difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection that affects all men at some time in their life. \n\nNormally, an erection occurs when your imagination or one or more senses (vision, hearing, touch, smell, taste) are stimulated and you become aroused. Your central nervous system sends nerve impulses that increase blood flow to your penis. Four requirements for a normal erection are:\n\nA properly functioning nervous system that sends the necessary signals to the penis. \n\nAn intact system of blood vessels to allow blood to flow into and out of the penis. \n\nNormal smooth muscle in the penis, which must relax so the penis can fill with blood and enlarge. \n\nThe ability to trap the blood in the penis so that it stays firm. \n\nErectile dysfunction can occur at any age but is more common in older men, who often have additional health problems or who may be taking medications that may interfere with normal erectile function. Treatment of erection problems in older men can be as effective as in younger men.
