How to Get Rid of Erectile Dysfunction?

2nd August, 2024

Okay, I actually hate the title of this blog, but I discovered that ‘How to Get Rid of Erectile Dysfunction’ was one of the most googled sex questions from the last month. If you have found this blog through Googling this question, I want you to know that you can make peace with your erections.

There are lots of things that can help with unreliable erections – I’ve listed a few below. Sex therapy can really help, often in a short space of time. If you feel ready to talk, please reach out.

Check your lifestyle

How are you sleeping? Eating? Feeling? Lifestyle can play a significant role in unreliable erections. If you’ve not been able to look after yourself recently, gently see if there is just one thing you can do that might help you feel better. It might be one less beer or one hour earlier to bed.

Check your relationships

The context we have sex in has a huge impact on what our bodies do. Feeling confident, safe, and attractive during sex are important elements when it comes to gaining an erection. Understanding how to get rid of erectile dysfunction often involves looking at your relationship dynamics.

See Your GP

If it’s been a while since you’ve seen your GP or you’ve never seen your GP before, reach out for a general check-up. ED can sometimes indicate there’s something else going on. Your GP can help guide you on how to get rid of erectile dysfunction, or at least understand underlying issues.

See a Sex Therapist

ED is actually quite a difficult diagnosis to achieve. It’s more likely that you have unreliable erections – which is something common and usually a normal reaction to the context you’re in. Sex therapy can help you understand and gain confidence with your erections.

Lastly, you are not a robot! You are human, and your sole mission in life isn’t to penetrate with a rock-hard cock. Give yourself some grace and recognise that fluctuations in sexual performance are normal.
