Long-term inactivity can lead to erectile dysfunction

　　Question: I have been divorced for more than five years and have never remarried for the sake of my children. Now my children have grown up and become sensible, and I have found my true love again. However, I found that I had problems with my sexual function. Not only was it difficult to have an erection, it was also hard and short-lasting. Several attempts ended in failure. When my ex-wife and I were together, our sex life was quite harmonious. Why did he become an ED (erectile dysfunction) patient after a few years? Can I ever get back to normal?

　　Answer: First of all, your situation does belong to a type of ED, which we call "disuse ED". There are many people suffering from this kind of ED. Men who have separated from each other or have not had sex for a long time after divorce are most likely to suffer from this kind of ED. This is because many human skills are acquired and require constant practice and review, and sexual ability is no exception. If you have had no or very little sex for more than five years after divorce, your sexual organs will be temporarily "rusty" like a machine lacking oil. From a physiological point of view, the process of erection is nerve The blood vessels are doing "gymnastics", the nerves are responsible for transmitting signals, and the blood vessels finally complete the action. If you don't have sex for a long time, "accidents" such as lack of information and poor movements will inevitably occur.

　　Plus, you’ve barely been close to me in 5 long years female , from a psychological point of view, lack of drills will also make you panic and unable to do what you want. Furthermore, although you have a harmonious sex life with your ex-wife, there is still a problem of re-acceptance when facing a new partner, and it will also take a period of time to adjust. These may cause you to perform poorly during your newlywed period. However, you don’t have to worry too much. Disuse ED is a psychological and technical problem that is temporary and curable. 　　The most important thing for treatment is to strengthen your confidence and tell yourself "I want to have sex, and I can definitely have sex." Then keep reviewing, learn more about your wife's feelings, and try to get her understanding and comfort. If necessary, couples can increase the frequency of sexual intercourse appropriately. After the erection control center of the brain and spinal cord is revived, the long-term suppressed sexual excitement will be awakened. Coupled with the warm-up of sexual organs, sexual life will gradually become better. If there is still no improvement after a period of time, you should see a doctor in time to avoid delaying the condition.
