Erectile Dysfunction: Do you lose it before you can use it?

One of the most common forms of erectile dysfunction is what I call the Transitory Stiffy, TS. Your woman arouses you by touch – or by just her very presence – and you engage and penetrate. Then you lose your erection while making love. Sometimes you just soften a bit, other times you lose it all the way to involuntary withdrawal. You feel like you’re trying to shoot pool with a rope.

It's the most embarrassing type of ED. Your woman has high hopes for the thrill and you punk out after she's gotten aroused.

There’s good news and there’s bad news. The bad news, of course, is that you can’t keep an erection. The good news is that because you were able to get hard for a while to begin with, your basic erectile mechanism is intact and there’s still hope for you. First, let’s take a very brief look at the biology of boners.

Your penis is a big sponge wrapped in a closed tube. There’s a valve that allows blood into the sponge to fill it up and make it grow. There’s another valve that closes the outlet from the tube so that the blood is trapped inside. That makes it hard. All this is controlled by nerves that connect to your spine and carry messages up to and back from your brain. Even in the absence of her touching you, you can go from fully at rest to erect in moments:

“... your woman exits the shower, that single drop of water dangling from a nipple made erect by the cool air conditioned breeze wafting across her wet breasts... the image induces a cascade of thoughts in your brain and without any physical contact...”

Your brain sends a message to your penis that open the inflow, close the outflow, and in moments you’re on your way to a full woody.

The biochemistry is complex and far beyond our discussion here, but one of the most important compounds that regulates your erection is a very simple molecule called Nitric Oxide. NO – one nitrogen atom attached to one oxygen atom – it is not the same as nitrous oxide (NO2) which your dentist uses, so don’t expect to get a boner while in her chair unless, of course, she worked her way through dental school as a dancer. But I digress.

Viagra does its magic by increasing the concentration of NO in your lower body. The problem with depending on erectile dysfunction drugs is that at some point in your later life, you’re likely to need to take other life-prolonging  medications that will prohibit you from taking boner pills – Viagra, Cialis or any of the others – so you want to eliminate your problem without the need for them now, so there's no conflict later on.

Reducing and ultimately eliminating inflammation in your body is the key. You know what inflammation is. That’s the irritation, the redness and soreness around a pimple or boil, a cut, abrasion or even a sunburn. If you have TS or any other symptoms of ED, then you undoubtedly have sub-clinical inflammation in your body. The walls of your veins and arteries are likely inflamed, and the walls of these vessels produce a large amount of the NO in your body. They become irritated and they stop generating the life giving NO that your pecker so desperately needs.

How to deflame? There are some big offenders that directly irritate the walls of blood vessels and other organs. Caffeine, alcohol, refined sugar, foreign chemicals such as food dyes, carbonated beverages, artificial sweeteners, and chlorine and fluorine in drinking water all assault the tissues of your body. Eliminate them and your body will rapidly move toward a greater state of health... that is... just in time for you to kill yourself because life itself will be rendered unlivable.

Bad news and good news. Bad news: I can’t explain how you can comfortably adopt a lifestyle that will detoxify your body and return erectile function without the use of drugs in a blog posting. Good news: I’ve written it all down in a concise, easy to read manual.

I present a cafeteria plan of options to wean you off of the greatest offenders, reducing your intake without eliminating it altogether. You can still enjoy the things that currently make life interesting AND get back your ability to retain an erection during sex. But you’ve gotta read the book. It’s an eBook and if you don’t have a reader, you can get a free app that will allow you to read it on your computer, tablet or smart phone. It’s just a few bucks and may save your life including the most enjoyable parts of it.

Do it now!
