Affecting more than 30 million men in the United States alone, to say nothing of the number of men experiencing this problem in the rest of the world, erectile dysfunction is not a simple matter. If you ignore it long enough, it will not go away.
Reasons you cannot manage to maintain an erection during sex:

1. Performance anxiety
2. Stress
3. Tiredness
4. Excess alcohol in the system
5. Relationship concerns

As you can imagine, what you are thinking and feeling on the inside have as much impact on your sexual performance as anything physical. If you have such problems for a few weeks or months, you will most probably be diagnosed with erectile dysfunction.

Enough about all that. How do you get rid of it? Ceasing smoking and drinking helps, not to forget adopting a good exercise regimen to lose weight and time scheduling so you get eight hours of sleep. There are other options to tap into as well. If you are oh so smart and wondering whether drugs like Cialis, Viagra, and Levitra might work, think again. Sure, they enhance penile blood flow (which results in a good strong erection) but sideeffects include facial flushes, stomach upsets, dizziness, nasal congestions, vision alterations, and headaches. Injections for inducing erections or replacing testosterone content are far worse. They tag along penis pains, mouth and gum irritations, breast enlargements, scarring, acne, and other concerns.

In short, synthetic means to curing erectile dysfunction do not hold a candle next to what organic sources can accomplish to your benefit.

1. DHEA

In full, ‘Dehydroepiandrosterone’ is a natural hormone made by your adrenal glands. This then gets converted into apt quantities of testosterone and estrogen in your body (depending on whether you are a man or woman).

Men who showed weak erections during sex also displayed an inordinately low amount of natural DHEA in their system. A 1999 Massachusetts study showed that those men who took DHEA showed better erectile results.

2. Acupuncture

There were mixed results where this idea is concerned but treatments that relied on acupuncture to help alleviate or cure erectile dysfunction have showed better influences on erections than most other options.

A good percentage of participants in studies conducted by major research bodies showed restored sexual activity in men who underwent acupuncture. It may not work for all men but you just may be one for whom it does.

3. Ginseng & Rhodiola

Otherwise called ‘herbal Viagra’, powerful research has proven that red ginseng (aka Panax Ginseng) improved erections naturally and wholesomeley with no sideffects. Thrice daily doses of 600-1000 mg showed just how effective this fully natural compound is in treating the problem.

On a similar note, 150-200 mg of Rhodiola rosea administered over a few months showed remarkable sexual performance enhancement in men who were part of a study that used it a few years back.

4. L-Arginine

This natural amino acid is produced in your bodyand helps with nitric oxide making. That latter substance is responsible for blood vessel relaxation, which in turn promotes better blood flow (including to the genitals). Results: Enhanced sexual performance and rock-hard erections.

A plant-based compound called Pycnogenol (found in the bark of certain trees) proved an ideal partner to L-Arginine in restoring sexual ability in a matter of months.

Alternative Treatments

There are still other means of treating erectile dysfunction for men...

1. Penile implants (a last resort; risky)
2. Vacuum pumps (recommended; pumps blood naturally into your penis before sex)
3. Blood vessel surgery (helps some men but natural alternatives are available to replace this option)
4. Zinc supplements (highly effective for men with low zinc numbers in their system)
5. Ashwagandha or ‘Indian Ginseng’ (a powerful herbal remedy to promote erections)
6. Gingko (not enough studies to support its potential but has what it takes to help with erectile problems).

Conclusion
It is always a good idea to talk to your doctor or physician about how to approach natural treatments for erectile dysfunction. Once you know that this or that idea will work magic for your sex life, invest and commit to it. You are this close to getting rid of erectile dysfunction problems. Do not give up just yet.
