Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile DysfunctionToday, I got a chance to talk to Simon Ellison 35, about over coming one of mans worst fears: 'Erectile Dysfunction' (ED).
EA: Hiya Simon, Would you
like to introduce yourself? EA: How did your condition make you feel?
SE: ED made me feel very
weak. I had no confidence- this feeling quickly spread to other parts of my
life- my marriage and work began to suffer. Everyone began to notice the change
in me. SE: Scared! Terrified more like! I couldn't understand why. Why me? I felt very angry and worried at the same time. So confused…it felt like a part of me had died…. EA: Worried… SE: I was worried about my wife……wondering when she would notice…..waiting for her to say something about the situation…wondering whether she'd go elsewhere EA: What was the worst thing for you about the situation? SE: I am a person who is highly energetic- I love to be involved in everything and anything is a challenge-I don't give up till I succeed. Can you imagine what it was like finding out I was impotent? Finding that a part of me didn't work was so hard-and it happened when I was fairly young-that made the situation worst-it affected everything- my job, my outlook-I became highly depressed-I felt I had no one to talk to. I became increasingly frustrated, both sexually and mentally. I knew I needed to take action-but it was so hard…..but it got a lot easier as time went on….. EA: What was the first step you took? SE: The first and probably the hardest step I took was admitting the problem to myself- after I had admitted this I could then go on to help myself. EA: What about your partner? SE: After I had admitted it to myself, I then went on to admit it to Mandy, my wife. This wasn't actually that hard- by this time the situation had got so bad she had realised that something pretty serious must be up. EA: How did she react? SE: Mandy was fantastic. We are still great, close friends. We only divorced about 18 months ago. Mandy really supported me; she comforted me and totally took the lead. This was exactly what I needed-She told that it didn't matter-I had done the hardest thing- admitting it her and myself and the rest would follow and fall into place. EA: What happened next? SE: From this point on Mandy took charge of me and looked after me. She told me that it didn't matter and that we were a team…..that together we would fight and sort out the problem. Together we began researching into solutions…..We also went to see a councillor EA: Did that help you? SE: Yes, it did. It enabled me to put the whole thing in proportion. I realised that I wasn't the only open who was suffering there are many more out there-not as lucky as I was. It also pointed me in the right direction. The councillor gave us many pointers as to what step to take next. EA: What was that next step? SE: Mandy and I began researching on the Internet. I'd heard of Viagra-but didn't know anything about it-it just seemed to be the butt of everyone's jokes. Mandy then suggested that we went to the Doctors-just to ask about it- to find out whether I was suitable candidate for the drug. EA: Was it hard to take this step? SE: No not really….by this time I'd already been to see the councillor. My Doctor has been my Doctor for the last 10 years- I see him as more of a friend than a Doctor. He helped me considerably. He explained all about Viagra and the pros and cons. He then screened tests to see if I was suitable for taking the drug-which I was! EA: Go on…. SE: Well I started taking Viagra and the Viagra Experience just simply took hold of me. It was fantastic- it was like a new lease of life. Confidence came flooding back. It was like a second Honeymoon. That first night I was so nervous- it was so special it was like consummating our marriage all over again. I was warned that it might not work-but I had to give it a try-I'll give anything a try once. I began to feel much more positive about myself-the change in my life has been amazing. EA: Could you tell me about these changes? SE: Mandy and I got divorced about 18 months ago. We're still great friends and I will always be so grateful to her. We just out grew each other. I have a serious girlfriend at the moment, we live together. She's 4 months pregnant- can you believe that? One drug has given me so much-it's changed my life so much. EA: Finally Simon, what's your advice for other men? SE: My advice is simple-just tell someone and take the first step. The results are life changing- my life is evidence of that…..

Lets Talk About Impotency Many men wish to increase their sperm count and quality. There are 2 main reasons for this, the first reason is for recreational pleasure. If your sperm just dribbles out when you orgasm it can leave men feeling embarrassed and women feeling like they have done something wrong. Many men wish to orgasm like male porn stars ( like Peter North) as they know that women watch porn movies and this is what they expect. The other main reason is to increase fertility. If a male produces more sperm then it is more likely that his sperm will make it to the females egg. There is no point in producing more sperm though if the quality is poor. If the sperm is thick and a deep white colour then you have healthy sperm, if on the other hand it is runny and only a little white then your sperm is of low quality. Possible causes for fertility problems & low sperm count. Having researched the subject and experienced low sperm levels I have found the following conditions which can lead to fertility problems in men Smoking can reduce the male sperm count and fertilityMen who smoke not only have poorer sperm quality than nonsmokers, but also have lower sex drives and less frequent sex, investigators reported at the joint annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society, held in Toronto. |
