If Erectile Dysfunction Drugs Work for You, You Probably Don’t Need Them

There are many causes of Erectile Dysfunction. Some can be corrected and some cannot. 

Often, those men that have had surgery – prostate removal being most common – will lose the ability to ever attain a natural erection because nerves that control the erectile mechanism that run across the surface of the prostate gland have been removed as collateral damage of the prostatectomy. Certain spinal surgeries will also sever the communication from brain to penis necessary for tumescence.

For these men, implants and other tacts are necessary for sexual satisfaction. It should be noted that failure to achieve erection does not necessarily mean that orgasm and ejaculation are not possible. You just need an understanding and cooperative partner.

However, if you are one of the 500 gazillion men – according to the drug companies – that have successfully used an ED drug, then you most likely don’t need it.

If you can get a hard-on by taking a pill, then you have the comforting knowledge that the basic erectile machinery works. You body can pump blood into your penis, you valve mechanism can maintain pressure long enough to satisfy all those present, and then it goes away as it should.

So, why can’t you do that on your own without the medication, the cost of the medication, and a psychological dependence on the medication? Well, you can.

Virtually every man I know 50 years of age or older who has gotten back in the saddle after a long absence, has made some comment to me similar or identical to, “Yeah, I had this one Viagra [or Cialis, or whatever] that someone gave me, and it worked great.” I don’t know who this is that’s handing out one pill at a time, but I don’t call anyone down for being less than upfront about having spoken to their doctor, gotten a prescription, and having bought some pills just in case. I did the same thing.

What they also say is that once they start having sex with some frequency, if they try going without the pill, they find they don’t need it to perform well and perform regularly. This clearly indicates that one of three things may be occurring. I present them here in reverse order of likelihood, that is, the least likely first:

• There is some as yet uncharacterized physiological state in which one’s penis must be re-primed for action. One has to “blow out the sludge” as if gunk had accumulated in the pipes. Once the drugs have done that, then it’s smooth sailing.
• Sex is a lot like riding a bicycle. If you haven’t ridden a bike in many years, you will find you need a few minutes to get your balance and feel comfortable making turns – especially tight turns – while watching where you’re going. Of course bike riding is a solitary endeavor and you don’t have to ride a bike to someone else’s satisfaction. And, of course, the first time out your ass hurts like hell. Taking the ED drugs gives you the ability to get back on the bike and ride like the wind more quickly.

I firmly believe that both of these are contributory to reinstating one’s erectile competence. But the third, I believe, is the greatest factor:

• You’re scared shitless. It has been a long time since you've t been with a woman that doesn’t know you and you're afraid she won't give you the benefit of the doubt. You are, perhaps, trying to begin a relationship that might have scope outside the bedroom, but man + woman = sex is an essential part of the equation. If you fail miserably at your first attempt, you may not get an invitation to try again. The buzz word here is Performance Anxiety, it's been around forever, but I blame Big Pharm for convincing a lot of men they’re going to have a problem when they wouldn’t otherwise.

In the old days, performance anxiety could cause a temporary suspension of operations. Usually, later on the same night, things would work perfectly and the initial false start becomes a joke that loses importance and fades into a couple’s sexual history. Nowadays, one can’t watch an evening of television without being barraged by commercials. One after another, handsome, slim, athletic men, each the image of health and vitality are telling you that they can’t get a boner, and that’s natural... for a man your age.

You look in the mirror and you don’t see one of these television actors – each a refugee from GQ magazine ads. You see a profoundly out of shape guy with no upper body strength, a pot belly, and a flat ass. “Hell,” you tell yourself, “if that guy can’t get it up, then there’s no way I can.” And that’s what the pharmaceutical bastards want you to believe... and at just a few hundred dollars a month, they’ve got a solution for you.

If you have been sitting around on your ass in front of the television for more years than Keith Richards has been on drugs, and you don’t get any exercise except to move you ass between the toilet, the couch and bed, and you eat, well, shit, then you may really have erectile dysfunction caused by a reduction of natural blood flow to your man machine. The solution, however, is not to pop a pill for your anniversary sex, but to do something to get yourself back in the game. If you start now, you may have sex a month before your next anniversary – and then again on your anniversary, too!

I’ve compiled all you have to do into one place. It’s a cafeteria plan for eliminating erectile dysfunction. Pick a little here and a little there. Nothing is undoable. I know, I had my ED and I got rid of it. Mine works just fine now without drugs. And because I dropped a few pounds and I feel better and I feel younger, I’m starting to get more attention from the ladies. If you’re married, the lady will be your wife – most of the time. If you’re single, then you have to be in good enough shape to attract a lady before you even get to overcoming performance issues. My book tells you how to do both.

HARD! Maintaining Potency, Eliminating Erectile Dysfunction, and Enjoying Healthy Sex for Life is not just for those with ED, but for all men who want to keep functioning throughout their life. A concise and powerful men’s health guide, HARD! provides a protocol for how to do everything right. The best $4.99 you’ve ever spent.
