Other sexual problems
A recent study done by physicians at New York Presbyterian Hospital shows 65 percent of men are unable to have an orgasm and 58 percent have problems with ejaculation.
“While medications like Viagra or Cialis have been successful in helping many of these men, our research suggests there are other common sexual issues that remain largely unaddressed,” says Dr. Darius Paduch, the study’s lead author; male sexual medicine specialist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center; and assistant professor of urology and reproductive medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College.
“We must expand the definition of quality of life when it comes to sexual performance,” Dr. Paduch adds. “For the last few decades, we have focused on penile rigidity, with erection as a synonym of normal sexual function. However, many patients say that problems with ejaculation — like decreased force or volume or decreased sensation of orgasm — are just as critical.”
Sexual myths are part of the problem
When it comes to struggles with an orgasm, it’s often thought of as a female problem, but the research shows men struggle with it too. In fact, the study shows 26 percent of men had trouble climaxing.
There are a variety of things that can cause sexual dysfunction, including low testosterone, concussions, brain injuries, antidepressant medications and stress.
