The physical and behavioral effects of stress can make it difficult or even impossible for you to get and keep an erection suitable for intercourse. But there are steps you can take to help manage the stress in your life.<\/em><\/p>\n

Stress is an almost inescapable consequence of life in the 21st century. But how we manage our reactions to stressful events can differ markedly from one individual to another.<\/p>\n
