Unlike chronic erectile dysfunction (ED), situational ED is triggered by specific events or circumstances.
Here are five that are among the most common causes.
1. Boozing Too Much
Ask any college fraternity member and he’ll likely have a story about getting drunk and being unable to get hard during a hook-up.
But impotence isn’t only a while-you’re-intoxicated issue.
According to an article on everydayhealth.com, one study found that men who consumed three or more drinks in a week were more likely to have some form of sexual dysfunction.
2. New Relationships
Many men incorrectly assume that ED doesn’t come into play in brand new relationships.
Actually, it’s quite common for young men to develop ED early in a relationship due to the pressure to perform well.
3. Butterflies
If you’re nervous about that interview for a big promotion or the important speech you’re giving to 500 clients, don’t expect to be able to perform in bed the night before.
Stress is a trigger for ED because it releases hormone inhibitors.
So instead of getting down on yourself for not being able to get it up, plan to celebrate AFTER your big day with a night of great sex.
4. The Pressure to Get Pregnant
Although it might sound like a dream come true at first, having sex every night at your wife’s request isn’t always fun.
If you’re trying to get your wife pregnant, sex can feel more like a chore and the repetition can become boring.
Tack on the added pressure to perform on demand and release your best swimmers and you’ve got a formula for ED.
5. Exhaustion
You don’t need to be a doctor to know there’s a link between lack of sleep and ED.
But staying up late then getting up early isn’t the only sleep-related issue causing impotence.
Insomnia can add to stress and anxiety, which have been tied to ED. In addition, sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome are correlated with impotence.
