Hello there Modern Man. I'm Dr. Anne Truong. I've treated over 7,000 men with ED. This is the single most frustrating moment in the bedroom. You start strong, but halfway through it fades. If you're losing your erection during sex, you are not broken and it may not even be your age. Research shows that half of men experience this. It's often caused by something called venous leak. Basically, the blood is is leaving the manhood faster than it's arriving. So today we're fixing the leak with eight specific changes. Take some notes. And three of them may work tonight for you. But some of them may take some time. Let's start right now with the right now fixes and easy wins. Number one, the alcohol trap. Mistake number one is the liquid courage. You think a few drinks may relax you, but alcohol may it a nerve depressant, so it kind of numb your nerve. So it disrupt the signal between your brain and your body and your manhood. So one drink is fine. Two to three drinks, it may affect that. So on date night, maybe one drink and moderate the alcohol. Okay. So keep that in mind. Number two, the disconnection error is that it is stopping stick stimulation, meaning once penetration start, many men stop the manual stimulation or stop mentally engaging in the mental stimulation. Maybe you're distracted, you're thinking about work, you're thinking about what you're doing tomorrow, or you're thinking about the past occurrences that's happened. Your body needs constant input to maintain the stimulation and the blood flow. So the fixed in is stay present in the moment. If you feel that your erection is fading, pause the penetration and go back to manual stimulation immediately. Tips number three, the gravity problem or position. Some positions are just not that great when you're older. So if you're over 50 and you're holding a position that is man on top and woman on the bottom, which is called missionary. This drains the blood from where it need to be to your arms and your legs. And so heart rate spikes and then it may steal away the blood from your manhood. So switch to position like spooning, which is side to side or woman on top. And let gravity do the work for you, not against you. So the next one, number four is the mental game. This is the big one. You lose it once, so you worry about it losing again next time. And then the worry releases the stress hormone called adrenaline, which then constrict your blood vessel, which is the last thing you want, right? It's a self fulfilling prophecy. You think about it and you worry about it. And then you get worse.
Fix it.
How you fix it is reframe it. So tell your partner that you're kind of working on circulation stuff and you're going through it. So taking the secret out of the room, kill the anxiety. But anxiety will kill your erection on the spot. The next one, number five, is the physical foundation, which is the engine. So the plumbing check medication. Some medication will actually affect your erection like blood pressure medicine, especially those that are group called the beta blockers. And then medications such as antidepressant like the SSRIs and antihistamines are notorious for killing erection. But before you stop these medications to talk with your doctor first do not stop taking them right away, but just know that they may have some sexual side effects. And then you may want to talk with your doctor about switching to some other medication that will have less side effects as well.
