You selected in the questionnaire, number 1 or 3:
•
I have never been able to get or keep an erection through
to ejaculation with a partner
• I have never been able to get or keep an erection with
self-pleasure (masturbation) through to ejaculation
These statements indicate the category of Non-acquired
Erectile Dysfunction.
The term Non-acquired applies when the erection problem has
always been an issue, right from the earliest sexual experiences
and is present with either self-pleasure or whilst being with a
partner. This category applies when a person has never been able
to maintain an erection right through to ejaculation.
Non-acquired erectile dysfunction is the most uncommon form of
erectile difficulty and may be driven from a number of factors.
The following areas are known contributors to either causing,
from the beginning, and / or keep maintaining the dysfunction.
You will need to carefully consider your answers and investigate
further anything you feel may be an issue.
• What were the attitudes during your up-bringing towards sex in
general: rather negative, somewhat negative, positive or this
needs further investigation?
• Think about your own attitudes towards sex in general:
example, is it considered just for procreation or something for
enjoyment.
• Think about your own attitudes towards self-pleasure
(masturbation) in general: am I OK with this concept, think
people shouldn’t do it or think it’s OK for people to do it
regularly?
• Do you believe in sex out of marriage / relationship or do you
believe it is acceptable only within the sanctity of a marriage
/ relationship?
• How is your physical health in general? Do you exercise
regularly?
• Do you have any reason to suspect that you may have any
biological issues eg. cardiovascular disease, diabetes or other
significant illnesses? If so, have you sought a medical
examination?
• Have you consulted with your GP about the dysfunction to
determine any biological issues?
• Looking back over your family’s medical history, is there any
illness such as: cardiovascular disease, diabetes or other
significant illnesses?
• Have your experienced any pelvic trauma, pelvic surgery,
prostate or lower bowel issues?
|
• Was there any traumatic experience present when you first
attempted (or just prior to) self-pleasure and / or sex with a
partner?
• Do you smoke / drink alcohol regularly / take medications or
illicit drugs?
• Do you suffer from: anxiety / stress, fear of sexual contact,
performance anxiety, depression, guilt or grief?
• Have you experienced any past (or current) trauma / sexual
trauma or grief and loss?
• Think about your earliest sexual experiences or romantic
relationships – were these (or currently are) in line with your
personal value systems?
• Check the level of your sexual knowledge – would you benefit
from more sexual information?
Once you have established the
answers to these questions, it is likely you have uncovered the driver and / or
what’s maintaining the issue. You will then need to address this in order to
establish healthy sexual functioning.
