The Ads make it all seem so simple. He can't get an erection so he takes the medicines and comes back in the same romantic mood. What the Ads don't show you: The painful distress a woman can experience when her man suffers with Erectile Dysfunction(ED).Most of the Women internalize things - they tend to blame themselves first, thinking it's because they have done something wrong, or that they are no longer attractive to their partner. In fact, the first thing a woman thinks when a man can't get an erection is that it's her fault, and nothing could be further from the truth. ED, is medically defined as the inability to achieve or sustain an erection long enough for sexual intercourse. Although many women and men as well continue to view ED as a sexual issue, but it may be because of physical conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, or even the earliest stages of heart disease. Even more often, it can be the result of certain medications used to treat these conditions, particularly some high blood pressure drugs. Unfortunately, a lack of education about the causes of ED are frequently behind a woman's self-blame, as well as her increasing anxiety, and sometimes, even feelings of hurt and anger when the problem occurs. Most women usually start with a line of questioning that often has some anxiety or hurt to it. She may suspect her partner is having an affair, or that he just doesn't find her desirable anymore, so she begins to hint around at these possibilities. The end result: The couple can stop communicating altogether - not only in the bedroom, but in all aspects of their relationship. And that can only make problems worse for both partners. Don’ts for Woman: If you suddenly buy some sexy new clothes - well, that's only going to put more pressure on him, and it's not going to help the ED one bit so don’t do it. Don’t’ stroke him harder . As such, the more and the harder you try, the worse it's going to be for him - and for you - when it doesn't happen. Do’s for Woman: The most important is to remember it's not your problem and you're not the cause. You have to treat this the way you would any other non-life threatening issues in your relationship, and just calmly discuss it. If you put it in the context of a physical problem and not a sexual one, most men will be less likely to 'shut down' or shut you out. Also important, to let him know that you have enjoyed the physical part of your relationship together, and that you miss it. Suggest him to visit to a good qualified doctor along with you or may go alone for the treatment because this is a vary important issue of your married life. This is the time to treat him as your best friend - to be warm, to be friendly, to let him know that you care about him, that he is desirable, that physical closeness is important.

The World Heart Day was there and we all were discussing about heart but we should also try to understand the relation ship between Erectile Dysfunction (E.D.) and The Heart.

At first we should under stand about E.D. Erectile dysfunction is one of the most common sexual disorder effecting men. This distressing condition can destroy a man’s ego and threaten happy relationships. Erectile dysfunction is nothing but a condition, wherein a person has difficulty in getting and /or keeping an erection. It affects about half of all men aged 40 to 70 years and one third men below 40 years of age.

It’s not really a new thing that there is a relationship between vascular disease and erectile dysfunction, but recent studies are telling us that those suffering from impotence may be up to three times more likely to have a heart attack. Another study found, problems in the arteries of men with erectile dysfunction, which has implications not only for heart attacks, but also strokes. These findings make it more important than ever for men to see qualified doctors when they're experiencing problems with intercourse.
Historically, the biggest challenge in the fight against impotence hasn’t been a lack of treatment options. It’s been getting men to visit qualified doctors in the first place. Experts say that less than 50 percent of men living with impotence see the qualified doctors in this regard.
A man may see some improvement simply by making some simple lifestyle changes such as reducing alcohol intake, exercising more often, having healthy food or quitting smoking. These may sound a lot like ‘heart-patient recommendations,’ but it goes to show just how significant the link between erectile dysfunction and heart disease really is.
Reduced blood flow to the penis and nerve damages are two of the most common causes of erectile dysfunction. Hardening and narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis) can reduce blood flow throughout the body and lead to impotence. High levels of blood sugar associated with diabetes—another risk factor for heart disease—may damage small blood vessels and nerves throughout the body, which can impede blood flow or nerve signals necessary for erection.
In the majority of cases, erectile dysfunction can be successfully treated. We have effective treatments that can be tailored to a couple’s lifestyle and needs. It is not an inconsequential ‘problem’ or one that will simply go away, so it shouldn't be brushed off—especially considering the other implications.
So the conclusion is that, the impotence is not related with your bed room or your married life only, it is related with your “life” (The Heart) and if you face any type of lack in your erection or sex life it should be taken care seriously and should never be ignored.

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION CAN BE TREATED WITH NEWER MEDICINE WITH MINIMUM SIDE EFFECT. TREATMENTS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE FOR PATENTS WITH DIABETIC NEUROPATHY. WE NEED TO CREAT AWARENES IN SOCIETY REGARDING SANE.

FEMALE & MALE HEALTH ISSUES
What is Sexual Orgasm? A peak of arousal, marking a moment of intense pleasure. The female orgasm lasts a few seconds, followed by a feeling of relaxation. Continued stimulation may also result in further orgasms. Unlike the men, some women are able to do this without the need to rest for a short period of time, smoke a cigarette or order in pizza.
Do women only climax during penetrative activity? Far from it. The fact is very few women orgasm solely as a result of the penis penetrating the vagina, it's more likely to happen through stimulation (touching/rubbing/kissing) of the clitoris - the highly sensitive bump located at the top of the vaginal lips.
What are the female orgasmic signs medically? Here are some general orgasm indicators, describing the build up and the moment itself:
• rising feeling of intense strange feelings;
• increase in blood pressure and pulse rate;
• breathing quickens;
• increase in vaginal lubrication;
• clitoris becomes erect and exposed;
• breasts become enlarged, nipples erect;
• skin flushes, particularly the face and chest;
• pelvic muscle spasms, causing vaginal contractions and orgasmic sensations

Why does orgasm happen?: In men, the orgasm is all tied up with a specific reproductive function-sperm Ejaculation. Women don't have to orgasm during sex in order to conceive, which makes the reason why it happens hard to pin down. Here are some of the more interesting (and questionable) theories, none of which address the simple fact - if it's enjoyable, who needs theories?
• After climax, you're more likely to lie down, thus increasing sperm retention and boosting your chances of conception!
• The muscular contractions associated with the female orgasm help pull sperm from the vagina to the cervix, again boosting conception chances.
• To create an emotional bond between lovers.
• A means of communicating sexual satisfaction to your partner (always a good thing).



Female Sexual Arousal
Your girlfriend or wife is stress-free, you have plenty of foreplay and romance, and you’ve tried every position possible, but she simply cannot have an orgasm. This can be a very troubling and discouraging situation for both people involved. Both the man and woman can feel as though they are sexually inadequate, leading to distress within the relationship.
Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD) can be categorized by the following symptoms:
• inability to experience orgasm
• inability to produce lubrication
• decreased libido or lack of desire
Having one of these symptoms does not necessarily mean that one has FSAD. A physician should be contacted for diagnosis.
There are both physical and emotional causes of FSAD. Here are some of the known causes:
• lack of affection within relationship
• communication problems
• fatigue and stress
• physical illness likes diabetes or heart disease
• psychological conditions like depression
• relationship lacking emotional intimacy
• restrictive upbringing concerning sex
• negative/traumatic sexual experience
Here’s a little introduction to each of the pleasure zones of girls and women:
Clitoris:
• Areas above, to the sides, and below the clitoris are highly sensitive
• Its only physical function is to provide sexual pleasure
• Most women claim that the clitoral orgasm is the most intense
• In his book Sexual Behavior on the Human Female (1953), Charles Kinsey found that out of 2700 American women, half received orgasm through clitoral stimulation
Vaginal Orgasm:
• Outer third of the vagina is the most sensitive
• Many women claim that it is more difficult to achieve a vaginal orgasm than a clitoral one.
• Freud labeled this type of orgasm as the “mature” type, whereas the clitoral orgasm was an “immature” type of sexual experience (A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis, 1916)
It is important to note, however, that one type of orgasm is not better than the other – they are simply two different ways of experiencing pleasure.Every woman has her own preference over which orgasm provides the best pleasure.
Men who are striving to please their girlfriends or wives in bed should communicate with their partners to discover:

a) which is easiest for her to achieve
b) which one she prefers in terms of physical pleasure


Vaginal Dryness
An estimated 20 million American women suffer from vaginal dryness—and as a consequence, painful intercourse. Dryness can result from menopause, childbirth, stress, and even the use of certain medications. Vaginal dryness can sometimes be a great obstacle when trying to achieve orgasm. It can make sex painful and even unbearable for some women.

Male reproductive cells - Sperms
The mature sperm cell (spermatozoa) is 0.05 milliliters long. It consists of a head, body and tail. The head is covered by the ac cap and contains a nucleus of dense genetic material from the 23 chromosomes.
It is attached from the neck to the body containing mitochondria that supply the energy for the sperm's activity. The tail is made of protein fibers that contract on alternative sides, giving a characteristic wavelike movement that drives the sperm through the seminal fluid, which also supplies additional energy. Some sperm have two heads or two tails and if the testes are too warm they may die or spermatogenesis may not occur. Sperm swim at a rate of about 3mm (0.12 inches) per minute. That’s an average, it’s different for every guy. Some sperm cells are 'better' swimmers than others. Why? They need to wave their tales more than 1000 times just to swim a half an inch.

Sperm cells are made in the testes where it takes about 72 days for one sperm to grow. Sperm production requires a temperature which is three to five degrees below body temperature. The scrotum has a built-in thermostat, which keeps the sperm at the correct temperature while they’re being stored. If it becomes too cool on the outside, the scrotum will bring the testicles closer to the body for warmth as you probably know from jumping into a cold pool of water or ocean. That’s why the testes hang away from the body -- so sperm can develop at the temperature they need. (95° - 97° F or 35° to 36° C). Semen contains small amounts of more than thirty elements. The middle section controls the sperms activities. The sperm or (spermatozoa -- which are the little swimming critters) make up only about 5% of what a man ejaculates each time he ejaculates. The rest of what a man ejaculates in his ejaculate, which is about a teaspoonful (5 ml), is made up of water, sugar, protein, vitamin C, zinc, and prostaglandins. Semen or seminal fluid is the mixture of sperm and the secretions of the seminal vesicles and prostate glands. Over the course of a guy’s life, he’ll produce more than 12 trillion sperm.

Male Sexual Arousal
Erection: Although much research has been done on erectile function and dysfunction, many aspects of function still remain unclear. (Even with the invention of those blue pills you have seen advertised on TV.)
Erection results from dilation of the arteries in the penis and an increase in arterial blood under high pressure -- to simplify things a bit. This causes the erectile tissue in the penis to become engorged. Erection also most likely involves several neurotransmitters.
Orgasm
With increasing intensity of the sexual stimulus, the reflex centers of the spinal cord begin to emit impulses that leave the cord to the genitals and initiate emission, which is the forerunner of ejaculation. Fluid from the vas deferens, the prostate, the ampulla, and the seminal vesicles (and even more tiny glands) are propelled into the internal urethra by contractions of the groin muscles*. The filling of the internal urethra elicits signals that are transmitted through the pudendal nerves from the spinal cord. Increases in pressure in the urethra cause the semen to be propelled to the exterior, resulting in ejaculation! The period of emission and ejaculation is termed male orgasm. After ejaculation erection ceases within 1 to 2 minutes in most males.
Sexual Hormones: It is apparent that sexual desire and performance depend on some threshold level of testosterone, however, this level varies from man to man. One of the greatest inhibitors of sexual functioning in males is loss of or low self-esteem and the development of a negative self-image.

Q What is the difference between a male and female orgasm?
Ans : The most obvious difference in orgasms is that male orgasms are usually accompanied by the ejaculation of semen. Ejaculation involves the secretion of semen into the urethra (urinary canal) and a rhythmic contraction of pelvic muscles that forces the semen out of the urethra.
In males sometimes orgasms occur with or without ejaculation. When men have orgasms without ejaculation, the pelvic muscles contract and you feel like youêre having an orgasm, but the semen is prevented from being secreted into the urethra. Less commonly, the semen is pushed backward into the bladder during orgasm and appears as milky fluid that comes out during urination after sex. This is called retrograde ejaculation and happens occasionally when men try to prevent ejaculation during orgasm and is usually not a sign of a disorder. However, retrograde ejaculation does happen more frequently in people with diabetes or after surgery, causing damage to the nerves around the penis. During orgasm for a female, the rhythmic contractions take place within the pelvic muscles as well as the walls of the vagina. In most women, there is no fluid ejaculated during orgasm. Another difference between male and female orgasm is that women do not experience a refractory period and may have multiple orgasms with continued or additional stimulation.

Q When my husband and I have sex, sometimes I feel too dry inside and often it hurts. There are also times when I feel a pain in my belly when he is in too deep, any suggestions?
Ans : Don't stress out over vaginal dryness. You might just need a vaginal lubricant and there are many to choose from, even the generic brands work well. Spend more time before the act getting interested and ready to participate. Kissing, fondling, caressing and slowly getting into sexual exploration may also be a part of the dance that's lacking for you. If you have severe pain, seek medical help right away. It may be an infection, inflammation or condition that requires attention. BUT, tell him so together you can create the pattern that's pleasing for both of you. Concentrate on what feels good for both of you; inside and out.
Q Can masturbating hurt me?
Ans : No, not really. You might get sore if you are masturbating a lot. If you feel sore from masturbating too much, than that is too much for you. In case you feel deadly tired or very bad after masturbation, you should stop it for the time you really recover. The scientific reason is that after every masturbation, oxygen level in your blood is considerably dropped. Blood takes some time to pick up oxygen. It is a good idea to have drink a glass of water in small sips (not hurriedly).

Ayurveda Anatomy and Physiology are based on Three factors— Dosha (Basic Body Constituents), Dhatu (Body Tissues) and Mala (Body Wastes). Ayurveda believes that Dhatu give structure to the body and they are the ones who function for the body under the governance of the Dosha. In all, There are Seven Dhatus: Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Medho, Asthi, Majja and Shukra. From Rasa (Life Sap) the body develops Rakta (Blood), from Rakta it develops Mamsa (Muscles), from Mamsa is developed Medho (Fat), from Medho is developed Asthi (Bones), from Asthi the body develops Majja (Nervous System) and from Majja is generated Shukra (Reproductive elements in body).
Shukra is honored as the Supreme body tissue, end product of body metabolism. Therefore, for Sexual Satisfaction, for Strength-Expressing performance and for better Progeny, the Shukra Dhatu should be in good state, and for this, the Dhatu chain should persistently function well. This is where Vajikarana Drugs (Aphrodisiacs) come into play. They help in giving Strength and Vigor to the Shukra Dhatu and in the long run to the body.

Because semen is the visible end product of the functioning of the chain of Dhatu, Practitioners of Ayurveda started believing that semen is very valuable and that it should not be wasted only for the sake of pleasure. The sole purpose of Shukra should be to produce Healthy Progeny, which is the base of Tomorrow’s Healthy Society. Thus, Ayurveda tried to bind sex in rules and regulations. It laid down certain dos and don’ts for sex. Abstinence was recommended so as to produce a mature, powerful Shukra Dhatu. This was believed by society and generations after generations said that if the whole of society followed these guidelines strictly then it would produce Tejaswi (Bright and Brilliant) and Ojaswi (those who have a stronger vital force supporting their life) progeny. A general understanding was to have sex for a better society and not for pleasure and hence, Vajikarana Drugs gained an important place in society.

Vajikaran Chikitsa is that branch of Ashtanga Ayurveda, which deals with all types of Physical, and Psychological Sexual problems like Impotence, Libido, Poor Erection and Early Ejaculation in Males and Sterility, Frigidity in Females. Ayurveda strongly believed that a weak Shukra Dhatu was the culprit behind all Male and Female Sexual Problems. Vajikarana Tantra claims that it has tips for a Normal, Healthy and Mature Shukra Dhatu, which is ultimately essential for satisfying and productive Sex.

Vajikarana thus basically comprises of Three components— A Disciplined Life Style, Conditional Sexual Act basing itself upon the assumption that Sex is for better reproduction and not only for Pleasure, and lastly, The use of Vajikarana Drugs (Aphrodisiac Medicinal Formulations) to achieve these Sexual Goals. This particular branch of Ayurveda has stressed on increasing Will Power and on holding the Shukra Dhatu i.e. Semen for a longer time. Shukra Dhatu is directly linked with good Health and Celibacy is equated with high Morality.
To summarize, Vajikarana Chikitsa (Aphrodisiac Medicines, Anabolic Drugs and Tonics) deals with Sexuality. It talks about Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Diet and Medicines involved in Sex. It states that Sex should be fenced by rules and regulations in order to maintain good Health and produce good Progeny.
