How the Loop Works
Anxiety triggers adrenaline. Adrenaline narrows blood vessels. Narrow vessels mean a soft erection. The soft erection confirms the fear. Next time the fear starts earlier.
Breaking It
A PDE5 medication (sildenafil or tadalafil) makes the physical part reliable, which lets the mind relax. Many men use it for a few months and then stop. Daily tadalafil removes the pill-before-sex ritual that can itself trigger anxiety.
Habits
Fewer drinks. Less porn. Slower, with less focus on penetration. Telling your partner, which removes most of the pressure. Sleep.
When It Is More
If anxiety spills into the rest of life, or depression is present, that deserves its own treatment. Our program covers the ED side and we can point you to the rest.
