Temporary Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile Dysfunction, or ED, can happen to anyone...even young college guys.

Thankfully, most cases are only temporary but if you've had difficulty maintaining or sustaining an erection...you're a member of the "temporary ED" club.

Has that happened to you?

An estimated 25 to 30 million men will encounter impotence during their lifetime, and a 1999 the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) reported that 22 out of every 1000 men sought help for erectile dysfunction.

While it's a normal problem, most men feel ashamed. This bruise to their ego can affect other aspects of their life, and affect their self confidence. With a little information though, erectile dysfunction isn't a death sentence.

Psychological Causes
Most young men have suffered from Psychological ED, which is caused by the brain's inability to connect with sexual thoughts, or with being distracted by something else. Erectile dysfunction is often characterized as psychological if erection is possible sometimes. For instance, are you able to get an erection during your sleep? Are you unable to perform on some nights only?

Physical Causes
Drugs, alcohol and smoking are three physical factors that can cause erectile dysfunction, both temporary and permanent.

Illegal and some forms of prescribed drugs have been known to cause ED, and most of you have heard the phrases "whiskey dick" or "brewers droop".

Shortly after quitting smoking it has been found that erection problems quickly clear up. In general a healthy lifestyle helps you in the bedroom as well.
