Suggest Treatment For Anxiety With Erectile Dysfunction

Hello, I am twenty five and for some time have been experiencing considerable stress, anxiety, and tension over sexual matters. For quite some time i have been experiencing erectile dysfunction. It has gotten progressively worse and though I have been to a couple of urologists, I cannot get much headway. I think part of the problem is that I have something that is outside their field of expertise. Even before I was having problems in that department, I was aware from a very early age that the thing that turned me on and gave me almost instantaneous erections was imagery or descriptions of women in bondage. I first detected this very early but around 12 or 13 I was able to use the internet to procure the arousing imagery much easier. Around 14 i was aware of the notion that this stuff was not really conventional but continued to use it because a.) it was very pleasurable to masturbate to it and b.) i assumed that it would just naturally progress into regular sexual attraction. Unfortunately, I found that looking at shots of nude women and picturing myself in sexual scenarios with them just did not have the desired effect. It started to tear me up to the point that even the typically arousing stuff would not give me erections. Now i'm a shell of my former self in this department. Basically I want to know if i have resonable chance of success in broadening my sexual arousal patterns or whether what turned me on from the get go is the only thing that can possibly and ever will turn me on like that. I don't want to force relationships and waht not and always have in teh back of my mind that i'm not going to be able to perform. Please give me a sense of where I should go from here and what my prospects are. Obviously this is very vexing and I think about it at some point every day. Thanks so much for taking the time read this.

Hello, and thanks for your question.

Erectile dysfunction is best treated with the medication Viagra (sildenafil). This is very likely to improve your erection quality and duration. I would talk with a local doctor about prescribing this to you.
