Do you remember a time when simply a fleeting thought or a passing stranger on the streets could cause you to…stand at attention? 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what is it that\u2019s now caused just the opposite? When even the most exciting experiences can leave you limp as a noodle, mourning for the days when you\u2019d experience embarrassment from an unintentional stiffie? 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re here to share with you five myths about ED that can help you understand what\u2019s going on a bit better. By understanding the myths, and facts, you will be able to address the root cause.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #1\u2014ED Is an Unavoidable Consequence of Aging <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\n\nEven though you are more likely to have trouble getting or maintaining an erection as you get older, not everyone will have ED as they age. There are a lot of different factors, both physical and mental, that can lead to ED. Some people will be fortunate and never have to battle ED in the first place.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #2\u2014You Don\u2019t Need to See the Doctor for ED <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s face it\u2014compared to women, men almost never go to the doctor. They would much rather deal with something themselves. Maybe there\u2019s an exercise or supplement or food that you can use to get hard again so that you don\u2019t need to have that embarrassing conversation.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, ED can be a symptom<\/a> of an even bigger problem. Yes, you heard me correctly. Trouble getting hard can be a warning sign that your life is in danger.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ED can be a complication of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, sleep disorders, Parkinson\u2019s disease, and high blood pressure, just to name a few. If you suddenly have trouble using your penis, it\u2019s time to schedule an appointment with your doctor.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #3\u2014Young Men Don\u2019t Get ED <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While ED is much more common the more years that you have under your belt, it is by no means a struggle saved just for older men. Young men can have ED too. It\u2019s important to note, however, that the cause of the ED is usually different. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ED when you\u2019re younger is primarily a consequence of psychological reasons, like nerves and inexperience. As you grow older, it is often a combination of physical causes, like diabetes or heart disease, and related psychological causes, like getting nervous about whether or not it will work this time.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #4\u2014ED Is Caused By Lack of Sexual Attraction <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This myth is usually held more by women than men. They will believe that their partner of many years cannot get hard because they\u2019re no longer attracted to them. Typically, this is not the case. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of our bodies change as we grow older. Even though many of us may find ourselves more attracted to younger people, it does not mean that we shouldn\u2019t be able to perform in our marriages. While a lack of attraction can make it worse, it is rarely the root cause.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #5\u2014You\u2019ll Have to Take a Pill to Fix It <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many men assume that they will need to take a small blue pill for the rest of their days if they want to have a healthy sex life. While some men may need a prescription medication to deal with ED, many won\u2019t.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you\u2019ll need to treat it will all depend on the cause. For some, treating an underlying condition, like high blood pressure or diabetes, will be enough. For others, they may simply need some talk therapy.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What To Do If You Have ED <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you find that you cannot perform the way you used to, see a doctor. They can help you identify the cause of your ED, and with it, the best plan of attack. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while you\u2019re at it, why not work to boost total satisfaction with your love life? There are two primary parts of a man\u2019s sexual performance: their ability to get hard and the size of their penis. While you work with your doctor on the first part, you can add in an exercise program for the second. With the Phalogenics plan, you can add 3 inches to your erect length safely.
