ED in Men Caused (and cured) By This Secret OrganWhen thinking of healing ED, doctors are – for obvious reasons – most often focused on the genital area.

Those that are a little bit more advanced may pay attention to your cardiovascular system and overall blood flow.

But a new study focuses on an organ that at first glance has nothing to do with ED. And tackling it in the right way may be the easiest way to cure it naturally.

Psychogenic erectile dysfunction refers to the type of ED that prevents you from having or maintaining erection good enough for penetrative sex that is primarily or completely caused by psychological, social, or personal factors, rather than strictly biological ones.

In the latest edition of the journal Brain imaging and behavior, Chinese researchers have now shown that the brain, which is often just a physical organ, may be more involved in this type of ED than usually assumed.

In most previous studies, scientists were interested in brain activity while men were watching or otherwise engaging with sexual stimuli.

But these researchers wondered whether the brains of men with psychogenic ED functioned differently from those of men without ED, even while not aroused.

If we want to know how the brain works, we do an FMRI (or Functional magnetic resonance imaging).

An FMRI scan can tell us exactly which part of the brain is in use, because blood flow increases to the areas of your brain that you are currently using.

The Chinese researchers recruited 52 subjects, 26 with ED and 26 without it, and then performed the brain scans.

They found that the right anterior insula and right orbitofrontal cortex were a lot less active in people with ED than in those without no sexual dysfunction. Remember that this was the case while they were engaging in no sex-related activities at all.

Your right anterior insula is the part of your brain that is responsible for your awareness of your own body, like you use when you count your own heartbeats or breaths.

It also helps you to pay attention to and remain focused on something in your environment, like you do while reading.

Interestingly, if you are a drug addict (which you hopefully are not), it is one of the parts of your brain that becomes the most active when you see something that triggers your drug cravings.

The right orbitofrontal cortex is one of the most poorly understood parts of your brain, but it is thought to be involved in advanced thinking, decision-making, and impulse control; the type of activities that are supposed to distinguish humans from animals.

More relevant to this study, it is responsible for modifying and controlling the ways your body responds to emotions, such as when you tremble or get a fluttery feeling in your stomach in response to anxiety.

As a result of their findings, the scientists concluded that the brains of some men with ED showed an impairment in the cognitive, motivational, and emotional processing of environmental and bodily stimuli.

You can see how that can ruin your ability to have successful sex.

If you see something that is supposed to cause arousal, you may not be able to pay attention to it (inactive right anterior insula), you may not feel your body’s responses to it (inactive right anterior insula), and your body, and sexual organs specifically, may not be able to respond to the emotions you feel (inactive right orbitofrontal cortex).

It is likely that these lazy parts of your brain may become active again once you address the psychological, social, and personal problems that interfere with your sex life.

Even more interesting for me personally is that this is exactly the focus of simple exercises I created years ago and have helped thousand of men overcome their Erectile Dysfunction naturally. You can find these exercises here…
