Sexual failures: Know up the slope!

Every man has already faced a sexual failure. Stress, fatigue, shyness ... Quickly forgotten, this episode will smile lovers unless it augurs a series of unenviable consequences ... A recent survey on the sexuality of French used to evaluate the real impact of these disorders erection.

According to a recent survey conducted by Lilly laboratories on sexuality French1, 42% of men admit to having already encountered a failure of erection. The taboo is finally fallen? Not so sure ...

Of erectile dysfunction

In recent years, has moved from "The blackout? I never!" to "Yes, it happened to me." Talking about erectile dysfunction do not seem to take a cold, as evidenced by the recent telephone survey conducted among more than 35 years. Not less than 42% of men and 38% of women have confessed to face a sexual failure. Given this impressive figure, most franchouillard may fear that the virility of Latin cock short in confusion ... is reassuring them! On the one hand, these proportions may cover very different realities: the disorder unique to repeated failure. On the other hand, we can simply note that better information has overcome the denial.

It would be awkward to try to minimize any cost to this phenomenon as these impacts can affect the quality of life of men who are victims. Indeed, these disorders have individual psychological consequences, which can be added to injury these same problems that inflict the harmony of the couple. Thus, these failures concern 20% of men and 23% of women who have found their partner. So quite a blow since French in five admits to already concerned about these problems!

Repercussions beyond the sexual sphere
Among men who have faced these disorders, one third believe they have had a very or somewhat important to the quality of their sex lives, their humor, their sexual desire and their overall balance.

These disorders are also changing:
Their confidence in themselves (27%);
The harmony of their marriage (24%);
The partner's feelings towards her (23%);
His feelings for her partner (20%);
Even everyday relations with the outside (12%).
Repercussions that go far beyond the sexual sphere ... "When the commonplace failure of erection becomes a real disorder, repeating, introducing an unknown unbearable in the sexual life, deeply disturbing, yet sex is more than likely, concern.

Relaxation, spontaneity, playing time, sensuality, which normally feed the relationship, will shrink gradually, to be gradually replaced by anxiety scenarios "we said Dr. Helene Colson, sexologist Secretary General of the AIHUS (Association Inter-University Hospital of Sexology). How to break this vicious circle? This fear of failure leads she provided patients with easier access and use a treatment?

Treatment? Of course, but for others ...
Despite the impact on their lives, men are still very few in the path of treatment that could relieve them. Only 3% of men affected by erectile dysfunction say they have used.
An astonishing figure, if you put in balance with the statement: 71% of French say they are willing to use a drug if necessary, of which 78% of men and 65% of women. All the taboos are not fallen and we can only note the persistence of moral and cultural barriers.
However, treatment may offer a way out of vicious circle of failure. And in this field, the laboratories have not abated since several inducers of erection are already on the market.

Tomorrow, the first comparative studies
Tadalafil (Cialis ®), Sildenafil (Viagra ®), Vardenafil (Levitra ®) ... The phosphodiesterase inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment of erectile dysfunction and the first comparative studies rather point their noses. Several studies have been published2,3,4. They are rather favorable to tadalafil, but may lead to criticism since funded by the Lilly Laboratories which markets. The latest study is published in French5 and was conducted independently, presented at the 2004 Convention of the American Urological Association (AUA) in San Francisco, it tends to prove that the long duration of action of tadalafil, effective for 36 hours, an asset much appreciated. 33% of survey participants expressed a preference for Viagra and 49% for Cialis. The partners display preferences respectively 22% and 56%. "It is only a preliminary study does not allow to draw definitive lessons. At most, one can identify a trend. Several similar surveys will be necessary before drawing definitive conclusions" moderates Antoine Lemaire , and chairman of andrologist ADIRS (Association for Development of Information and Research on Sexuality).

"Finding the erection may be the prerequisite for hope again. The drug can bring healing symptomatic. It remains for man in difficulty in appropriating this erection to slowly rebuild a function in unlearned difficulty. A sexual function resuming his relational dimension of exchange, sharing and love-two "concludes Dr. Colson.
