Erectile Dysfunction May Just Be In Your Head

Many young men have sexual performance anxiety – they fear they may not be able to keep an erection while having sex. Often, this fear itself of not being able to function sexually may lead to a bad performance. Meaning fear of erectile dysfunction actually causes erectile dysfunction and it becomes a viscous circle.

Often these men are healthy and are not taking any medication, and should normally have no problems having a healthy sex-life. However, sometimes when a man has had trouble ‘getting it up’ once (or a few times), the anxiety and fear set in and he thinks he will not be able to perform. In these cases, erectile dysfunction has become a mental condition.
