ED is often considered to be caused by emotional disturbance such as anxiety or stress or other physical conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
However, new studies seem to show that sexual dysfunction can spread from the female partner to the male one.
This is quite odd because sexual dysfunction is obviously not an infectious disease like the flu, chicken pox, or sexually transmitted diseases.
A new study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine dug into this issue. The results are quite shocking.
The researchers searched through four medical databases and 8,000 studies to find trials on the relationship between female and male sexual dysfunction and found 26 studies of reasonable quality that fulfilled their criteria.
After analyzing these studies, they discovered that men were indeed at elevated risk of sexual dysfunction if their female partners suffered from it too.

1. Overall, men were more than three times as likely as the general male population to have sexual dysfunction if they had female partners with sexual dysfunction.
2. Men were twice as likely as the general male population to have premature ejaculation if they had female partners with sexual dysfunction.
3. Men were four times as likely as the general male population to have erectile dysfunction if they had female partners with sexual dysfunction.
This shows that men run a serious risk of ED and other types of sexual dysfunction if they are partnered with females who suffer from sexual dysfunction themselves.
Why is this the case?
The researchers speculated that the problem was probably stress. If the man is afraid that he will not be able to satisfy his partner, he is likely to suffer from a loss of confidence and increased stress.
When we are stressed, our bodies release the stress hormone called cortisol. Because cortisol enables the fight or flight response to stressful events, it narrows blood vessels in the center of our bodies while moving blood out to our arms and legs to do the fighting or fleeing.
Having a female partner with sexual dysfunction is not the kind of situation that requires a fight-or-flight response. It reduces the blood that can flow to your sexual organs because it narrows the blood vessels that lead there. This is the main cause of ED.
Even worse, stress reinforces itself in a sexual relationship and creates a vicious cycle. Stress causes sexual dysfunction, which causes more stress, which causes more sexual dysfunction.
Through the years, I’ve worked with men, women, and couples to improve their sexual relationships. Through this process, I worked out a system for men suffering from erectile dysfunction.
This system works for almost all men. The best part is, however, that this system can be worked out with your partner. So you can choose to do it alone, or for even more pleasure and benefits for both of you, you can do it with your partner to benefit you both.
