“You’re too fat.” “You’re too ugly.” “Your teeth are crooked.” It can be easy to highlight your perceived flaws and get hung up on them. If you think you are ugly, it can seriously affect your self image. By thinking positively of yourself, your body can continue to function properly. But by having a bad self image, the rest of your body can begin to pay the price. Yes, even your erection.
If you think you’re ugly, chances are others will, too. This poor self image can weigh heavy on your mind, and can begin to affect the rest of your body. The brain has a surprising affect on others part of your body, even when you think they aren’t directly connected.
When the brain is receiving negativity, it can begin to affect the rest of the body negatively as well. With your brain preoccupied with negativity, you may find it difficult to achieve erections like you used to. When this becomes a problem, you may begin to worry about it and become negative about the affliction, further exacerbating the problem.
When your erection problems are mental in nature, the solution is simple: Get positive. Get your mind off it. Just find a way to overcome that mental hurdle, and you could see your erection return to life. If the problem becomes worse, you may need to see a mental health expert who can help you to tackle the problem.
But when it comes to saving your erection, stay positive. Love who you are, flaws and all, and your erection will thank you.
