Erectile dysfunction (ED) is when a man cannot get or keep an erection firm enough for sex. It’s more common than people think—and treatable. At DOXXES on North Freeway / Little York, we offer tools and support to help you feel more confident and in control.
What Is Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction is the regular inability to get or maintain an erection that’s firm enough for satisfying sex. It can show up in different ways:
- Superficial ED: Trouble with mild firmness
- Deep ED: Difficulty maintaining strong erections
- Situational ED: Happens only in certain settings or with certain people
No matter the type, ED is real, manageable, and deserves attention—not shame.
Why Does Erectile Dysfunction Happen?
Psychological causes include:
- Stress from work or home life
- Relationship conflicts or poor communication
- Past trauma or performance anxiety
- Low self-esteem
Physical causes include:
- Nerve damage or infections
- Hormonal imbalances like low testosterone
- Erectile dysfunction caused by alcohol use
- Pelvic floor weakness or circulation issues
Often, ED is caused by a mix of mental and physical factors. Addressing both is key to feeling better.
Examples and Trigger Patterns
Real-life examples:
- Losing an erection during intercourse
- Struggling with certain positions
- Morning erections but not during sex
- No erection when feeling anxious or tired
To identify your triggers:
- Track patterns – When does ED happen? Morning vs. night? Workdays vs. weekends?
- Compare experiences – Does alcohol, stress, or fatigue make a difference?
- Test what helps – Try using lubrication, new angles, or different timing
Who It Affects
ED can affect men of all ages and the people who love them.
- Men may feel ashamed or broken
- Partners may feel unwanted or confused
- Couples may grow distant if they don’t talk about it
Being open and seeking help together can ease the stress and rebuild intimacy.
How a Sex Therapist Can Help
A therapist can:
- Ask about sexual history and symptoms like “painful abdomen after intercourse”
- Screen for anxiety, depression, or performance stress
- Teach breathing, relaxation, and mindfulness techniques
- Support both partners through open conversations and trust-building
Treatment and Coping Options
Counseling and therapy can help reduce anxiety and negative thinking:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps reframe thoughts that affect performance
- Couples therapy can improve emotional connection
- Stress relief methods like deep breathing or meditation help calm nerves
Medical support and lifestyle changes may also be part of treatment.
