If you've suffered from erectile dysfunction, then you know how difficult and maybe even embarrassing it can be. Now that you've acknowledged your disorder and have a direct method of treatment, you can begin to re-awaken your sex life.
Treating your ED is easy with modern pills (like Viagra) and many other methods; however, you may need to take a moment to ease yourself back into a healthy sex life.
Spicing Up Your Sex Life
The loss of physical affection is one of the larger and prominent effects between couples who deal with erectile dysfunction. The lack of affection between couples who suffer from erectile dysfunction can be detrimental to an otherwise healthy relationship. While sex is not the most important thing in a relationship, it is very important to in order to sustain a healthy, long term, one. It is a basic human need. Once physical closeness and affection is taken out of a relationship, things can quickly become too routine and robotic, leaving a feeling of loss within that relationship.
If you compare your sexual relationship to an old engine, then you can understand that before you jump behind the wheel and take a long road trip, you need to warm it up. You have eased your way back behind the wheel and soon, you'll be cruising down the road again without any problems.
Here are a few tips on how to ease your way back into a healthy sex life with your partner:
-Throughout the day, show each other subtle signs of affection by touching (light caressing, hugs, playful gestures, hand holding) Do this for the pure sake of doing it, without any expectation of taking it immediately to the bedroom. You should get back into the physical habit of showing affection.
-While watching a movie, television, sports game, or anything at all, sit close to each other. Being near each other is a great way to show affection.
-Whenever you see each other after any absence at all, hug and kiss. This is a great way to feel closer to your partner.
-Kissing goodnight in a long, romantic, sensual way can reinforce your mind into believing that your sexual nature is where it should be.
Sooner than later, you will be able to take your displays of affection to another level. This includes bathing each other, massaging each other, and fondling.
After you've tested the waters and experienced subtle displays of affection with your partner, you'll be able to feel ready to finally re-introduce yourself to sexual intercourse. Experiencing a firm erection for the first time in a long time may be very strange at first. This is normal. Remember to use lubricants when necessary for ease and more pleasure. If you can't experience a completely satisfying sexual episode the very first time around, do not be discouraged. Practice makes perfect, and practicing often will guarantee that you gain a more satisfying sex life.
If you have tried numerous times with sexual medications and tips yet having sexual intercourse and intimacy is still difficult for you, contact your doctor. They may be able to provide you with sexual therapy, something that can help with many relationships.
When you have the sexual ability back in your relationship, you may feel that all systems are going. The one drawback is that when you rely on the sexual medications to give you back your sex life, you may forfeit any spontaneity. If planning ahead for sexual intercourse is something that you don't care for, you can always speak to your doctor about the possible alternatives to increase the quality of your sex life. Meanwhile, you can utilize the time your body needs to prepare for the effects to take hold to stimulate your partner and have sensual foreplay. An erotic massage, cuddling, and being close to your partner are a great way to entertain yourselves until your body allows you to perform at your best. Never lose faith in yourself and your sexual ability. With the many resources available, time, and proper medication, you can be well on your way to the best quality sex life ever. |
