Overcoming Arousal Difficulties

Share this article:

Some couples can experience arousal difficulties in their sex life. Thankfully, treatment through therapy and lifestyle changes can remedy this problem. Couples who are experiencing arousal difficulties should not be afraid to seek help from professionals. Doctors and professional therapists are ready and willing to give helpful advice to change your difficult situation.

Erectile dysfunction can be caused by several factors, which include drug use, neurogenic disorders, low testosterone, therapy such as colon surgery or radiation therapy, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and ageing. Men at their 60s are more likely to be impotent than those in their 40s.

Men experience arousal difficulties in the form of erectile dysfunction or male impotence. This is defined by the inability to have or keep an erection while having sex. Male impotence can be treated by making easy lifestyle changes or changes to the way they relate to their partner. Men who smoke should quit and include more exercise in their regimen. It is also important that they feel less stress from their work or personal life.

Couples can also engage in sex therapy sessions. This allows the couple to discuss their problems face to face with a professional. These sessions are usually scheduled for about an hour a week, so be patient and diligent with your treatment. During therapy, the counsellor gives assignments such as reading books on improving sexuality, practicing better ways to communicate sexually, and touching exercises that will relieve the man of the pressure to perform during intercourse and/or help him become stronger within himself.

It is also recommended that you see a doctor before therapy as they can help identify any physical causes of erectile dysfunction. Be as honest as possible with your doctor since he or she will ask about your difficulties in getting an erection and if it can be maintained until your partner has an orgasm.

During therapy, the therapist will also ask about the medicines you are taking, surgeries in the past, and any other experiences or conditions relevant to your medical and life history and your relationship. Be sure to answer all these questions so that your therapist can properly assess and treat your condition.
