Through analytic therapy of erectile disorders
You opened this site because you are affected by or
interested in the matter of erectile disorder/erectile inhibition,
because you are a treater, patient or both. This introductory site
shall inform you about the psychological backgrounds of the subject and
give you an impression of the treatment of this disorder through
analytic therapy.
A failing erection is a normal reaction, not an erectile disorder. A failing erection is not necessarily a reason for therapy. In the following I will restrict myself on experiential reports by heterosexual men. Homoerotic sex is connected to different emotional worlds, practices, another relationship to ones own genitals etc.. Which has strengthened my insight, that from an analytical point of view both sexualities can not be equated with each other. Therefore this site is confined to heterosexuality.
If someone "feels low", "doesn't stick it out" or has an "erectile disorder", doesn't really matter. One likes to address it in a rustic way, the other in medical jargon. I prefer popular language, because medical terms always produce gaps to one's feelings and neatly keep out fantasy and the clinician on distance.
From the Depth psychological point of view an erectile disorder is being treated as inhibitive neurotic symptom and experiential disorder. Usually a tension between internal and external impulses can be worked out, which the individual male experiences in a way, that at some point he gets nervous. At some point I get nervous and instantly notice something does not function, does not work or something threatens to come to light. Usually this fright is being recognised in a blurry way ("it didn't work") or is being concealed out of shame.
Also it remains tough to confide in someone, because unconsciously and automatically this fright is carried-over "from man to man". Other men might say: "it was the same with me", "You have to go through that", "don't rack your brains" "don't hang your head". The message is not noticed or in a matter of seconds covered with a joke.
