What is erectile dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction is an inability to get and maintain an erection that is hard enough for sexual penetration. It is a symptom of either a physical or emotional problem. If you get nocturnal erections; can get an erection when masturbating; can get an erection with one lover but not another; or get an erection when you start making love but then have it go down, then some of the causes are probably psychological, but a doctor should still be consulted to rule out any physical causes.

Erectile dysfunction is not the same as low libido (low sex drive) or the inability to ejaculate. A man's sex drive can be affected by stress. Premature ejaculation is different to erectile dysfunction. Sometimes the difficulty in getting and maintaining an erection is related to alcohol consumption, anxiety, stress and tiredness. One in five Australian men over forty years experience erectile problems at some time or other. One in ten are unable to get an erection. About one in ten cases is related to an emotional factor.

What are some of the psychological influences of erectile dysfunction?

When erectile dysfunction has a psychological cause it may be related to performance anxiety; that is concerns about giving pleasure to the woman. It may be related to childhood conditioning that sex is bad; sex is dirty; that you must wait until you are married to have sex; sex is not something discussed by nice people; you must not openly display sexual feelings, sexual thoughts are bad; masturbation is a sin, etc. Relationship problems can play a part in erectile dysfunction, as can worries about money and stress at work.

In some cases the problem is about what might happen when you have an erection, not about being able to get one. In this case the focus needs to shift away from the penis to that of just enjoying the sexual experience and pleasuring the woman.

What treatments are available for erectile dysfunction?

Mainstream treatment offers oral medications, vacuum devices, medications which increase blood flow when they are injected into the penis, hormone therapy, prescription drugs and penile prosthetic implants.

How can NLP, hypnotherapy and meditation help overcome erectile dysfunction?

If the causes are psychological then NLP and hypnotherapy can be used to help deal with stress, anxiety and relationship conflict, and to build in new feelings of confidence. Meditation has been found to be one of the most cost effective treatments for anxiety. Regular meditation practise is effective for relaxing both mind and body, and has been shown to have a beneficial affect upon the health of the body.

Comments by a Master NLP Practitioner on erectile dysfunction.

I received the following inquiry via email: "My husband has been diagnosed with psychological erectile dysfunction. Many test were performed to rule out physiological causes. It was suggested to us that we use hypnotherapy as a way to help with this concern of ours - could your services benefit us with this issue?"

In a frank telephone discussion with the man's wife she disclosed that both she and her husband had a strict Christian upbringing in which they were told, "Sex is bad... must wait until you are married to have sex.. sex is dirty... must not discuss sex... hide sexual feelings... sexual thoughts are bad... must not masturbate, etc." The result of this well intentioned advice was guilt, anxiety, erectile dysfunction and reduced pleasure around love making.
