THE TABOO OF<br />
ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION<br />
Even though we may be very open about our sexuality, many things remain a taboo<br />
topic. Such as erectile dysfunction (ED). This may be because potency is equated with<br />
masculinity. The myth persists despite the fact that every man suffers from erectile<br />
dysfunction at some point in his life.<br />

HOW OFTEN DOES ERECTILE<br />
DYSFUNCTION OCCUR?<br />
Erectile dysfunction affects about four to five<br />
percent of men between the ages of 30 and 35.<br />
For those over fifty it is already twenty percent.<br />
Anyone who is over the age of 70 must expect<br />
a 50 percent probability that sexual intercourse<br />
will no longer be possible. However, these<br />
figures are based on surveys of men who admit<br />
they have erectile problems. It is therefore<br />
assumed that the number of unreported cases<br />
is much higher.<br />
Men shouldn‘t be ashamed to address potency<br />
problems. Obtaining sexual enhancers without<br />
medical advice and without a valid prescription<br />
should be avoided. The risk of dangerous<br />
side effects, either through incorrect use or<br />
a contaminated counterfeit, is not worth the<br />
risk-benefit ratio.<br />
HOW IS ED DIFFERENT FROM<br />
IMPOTENCY<br />
From a medical point of view, erectile dysfunction<br />
is only diagnosed if sexual intercourse cannot<br />
be performed over a period of six months<br />
due to the nature of the erection - given there is<br />
a desire to have sex.<br />
The term impotence must be distinguished<br />
from this. Because impotence not only includes<br />
erectile dysfunction, but also anejaculation (the<br />
failure to ejaculate) and sterility (inability to<br />
fertilize). However, erectile dysfunction is most<br />
commonly spoken of when the term impotence<br />
comes up.<br />
CONVERSATIONS IN THE<br />
RELATIONSHIP<br />
In most cases the potency problems are<br />
physical. And just because an erection does not<br />
happen does not mean that there is a permanent<br />
erectile dysfunction. Ultimately, however,<br />
both people in a relationship are affected by the<br />
effects of erectile dysfunction. Therefore, the<br />
topic should not be hushed up.<br />
Partners should be able to react empathetically<br />
and convey the feeling that there is understanding.<br />
Sometimes sexual partners are overwhelmed<br />
with ED and assume that it is caused by<br />
a lack of interest. It is therefore important to<br />
take the first step in a relationship and openly<br />
address the problem. (Red)<br />
