Sexual health is defined as "the ability of two people to relate with each other sexually in a way that satisfies and rewards both." But almost everyone who is sexually intimate with another person sooner or later experiences with some sex problems, often resolved by better communication and closer sharing of likes and dislikes. Despite a new attitude to sexual relationships, some men still equate good sex with "scoring", "going all the way" or spend with which they can sustain erection. Failure to live up to expectations (their own or their partner's) may produce profound anxiety.

The common problem that men suffer from is erectile dysfunction, known as impotence. It is the inability to maintain an erection for satisfactory sexual intercourse regardless of the capability of ejaculation. The recent introduction of effective medication has increased awareness of this previously little appreciated disorder.

In order to appropriately treat ED and strengthen a healthy and nurturing relationship, couples need to communicate openly and honestly with each other. Most importantly, couples need to confront any concerns they may have about ED by discussing their feelings and reassuring each other that they still care.

Some common things that can be a cause of Impotence:
• If you can't keep your blood sugar or your blood pressure under control
• Sometimes your hormones get out of balance and this causes erectile dysfunction
• Some medicines can cause this problem
• Drinking too much alcohol, smoking too much and abusing drugs can also cause erectile dysfunction
• Problems in your relationship with your sexual partner also can cause erectile dysfunction
• Feeling nervous about sex, perhaps because of a bad experience or because of a previous episode of impotence
• Feeling stressed, including stress from work or family situations.

Treatment for erectile dysfunction:
How erectile dysfunction is treated depends on what things are causing it. After your doctor checks you for medical problems and medicines that might cause erectile dysfunction, he or she may have you try a medicine to help with erectile dysfunction. Some of these medicines are injected into your penis. Other medicines are taken by mouth. Not everyone can use these medicines. Your doctor will help you decide if you can try them. There is no doubt that Viagra; the little blue pill that revolutionized the treatment of impotence has had a profound effect on men who have erectile dysfunction.

Another common male problem is early or premature ejaculation, affecting 30 percent of men at time or other, is an orgasmic disorder where men ejaculate sooner than they wish to. It arises from inadequate control over the timing of ejaculation and the responses that trigger it or because of infrequent ejaculation. At a meeting American Urologist Society in San Antonio, physicians gathered to hear news of a potential drug, dapoxetine, for premature ejaculation – which researchers believe plagues more than twice as many men as those suffering from erectile dysfunction.

Treatment for premature ejaculation:
With medicines, such as serotonergic, anti-depressants or SSRIs (Seroxat, Prozac, Cipramil, Zoloft) the ejaculation can be delayed. This medication improves the transmittal of serotonin (a substance in the body) between two nerves. These medicines need to be taken 2 to 3 hours before the expected sexual activity. This can be experienced as a disadvantage, because it reduces the spontaneity around making love. A much better drug dapoxetine is waiting for approval from FDA, whose test results show that it will capture the market better than Viagra.

Performance anxiety is a very real issue for most men at one time or another.
The fear of not being able to perform adequately, dissatisfaction with penis size, and self-consciousness about body appearance can all lead to the very thing that most men wish to avoid - failure to get an erection.

Another problem with men is inhibited male orgasm (IMO). It is the inability to achieve orgasm during intercourse. Men with IMO often manage to ejaculate and reach orgasm by masturbation but not with intercourse. Some therapist believes IMO stems from fear of intercourse, an unwillingness to perform on demand or anxiety about not satisfying a partner. A man finds his orgasm inhibited because he fears loss of control during intercourse, because he's put off by a woman's touch or, in some instances, because he does not want to have sex with a particular woman. This type of sexual dysfunction is more difficult to treat than premature ejaculation, often requiring intensive psychotherapy.

Some men often get affected by Dyspareunia - genital pain before, during and after intercourse - may be due to penile vascular problems or a tight foreskin that won't retract during intercourse. It can also arise for psychological reasons. The problem needs medical attention and is usually treatable.

Treatment for dyspareunia:
Some pains are there for no reasons. There is nothing wrong, but sex hurts. If this is so, you may be able to find ways of not minding the pain. Self hypnosis is a very good way. Sometimes people find the pain stops after a minute or two. Some people take pain killers, but this can spoil the nice feelings of sex. Sometimes the pain goes away on its own. Don’t give up.

The right guidance is must to come out of any problems. So besides feeling depressed, try to come with a solution for your improved life.
