www.draroras.comThe 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.
