The Story
Erectile dysfunction can impact anyone (one in 10 men across the globe suffers from ED), so it’s worth investigating techniques to reignite your sex life if you’re struggling with the condition.
To explore how couples can work through erectile dysfunction, Dr Hana Patel spoke to Superdrug Online Doctor to offer advice.
The Snapshot
Dr Hana Patel has provided some tips to help couples retain a fulfilling sex life with ED:
Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques — Incorporate mindfulness and relaxation techniques into your day to reduce stress and anxiety, which can exacerbate erectile dysfunction. Practise deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, or guided imagery to promote relaxation and enhance your sense of well-being.Experiment with Sensory Stimulation — Explore sensory stimulation techniques to enhance arousal and intimacy. Experiment with different textures, scents, and sensations to awaken your senses and deepen your connection with your partner.Focus on Emotional Connection — Prioritise emotional connection and intimacy with your partner. Engage in heartfelt conversations, express gratitude and appreciation, and reminisce about fond memories together. Strengthening your emotional bond can enrich your relationship and foster a sense of closeness that goes beyond physical intimacy.
The Lesson
If the issue isn’t immediately or easily resolvable, so long as you’re seeking treatment for it, you might wonder what to do in the interim. Can you have good sex if you have ED?
The answer is a resounding yes — provided you’re willing to change your expectations somewhat. For starters, you’ll need to say goodbye to how you used to have sex — at least for a little bit.
“Rethink what sex means,” says Kayla Lords, sexpert for JackAndJillAdult.com.. “If you only view ‘sex’ as penetration, you’re going to be disappointed in your post-E.D. sex life. But if you look at it as anything that feels good sexually — to you or to your partner — then you’ve opened up a range of options.”
