Priapism is a condition wherein a man experiences penile erection without sexual stimulation for an extended time. The erection may last a few hours or even days. In addition to being embarrassing and inconvenient, priapism is often painful and it can result in extensive tissue damage to the penis, as well as long-term impotence if not treated promptly.

Fortunately, it is uncommon compared to other forms of sexual dysfunction, and many men can return to normal sex lives after receiving proper treatment.

In general, priapism results from a disturbance to the mechanisms that control penile detumescence (the process by which the penis becomes flaccid). Blood enters the penis, but it cannot drain properly because it becomes trapped in the corpora cavernosa, a large chamber in the penis. The penis glans (head) and area around the urethra, however, remain flaccid.

Does bicycling cause impotence? There is much debate on this question among both doctors and cycling enthusiasts. As with many medical issues, there really isn’t a clear-cut answer. Most experts, however, agree there seems to be a causal connection between bicycling and impotence, though they may disagree on the extent to which this exists.

Of course bicycle accidents are a concern for any rider, as falling down hard onto the bike’s top tube can lead to priapism and impotence. But how about cycling itself? The general consensus is that while your average weekend cyclist need not be over-worried, serious riders, competitors and those who already have impotence problems should definitely take steps to minimize the damages that may occur from long-distance riding.

If you think about the mechanics and physiology associated with cycling, this advice makes sense. The sport has numerous cardiovascular and other health benefits, but the problem is that riding on a narrow, firm seat puts tremendous pressure on the perineum. This is the area under the penis and the vagina, and it contains crucial arteries responsible for bringing blood to the sex organs.

Though there are multifarious reasons as to why a male has erectile dysfunction, there are only a limited number of drugs to treat it. These drugs do not really treat it rather these drugs subdue the erectile dysfunction problem for short term. Cialis is one such drug that subdues the erectile dysfunction disorder for that short period of time i.e. during the effectiveness of the drug.

Many men believe that good lovers last 20-60 minutes.

The truth is that the average man lasts 3-4 minutes once inserted. According to Kinsey’s findings 17.6% of men last less than 2 minutes and 47.6% last between 2 and 5 minutes once inserted.

Impotence is the consistent inability to sustain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. The term “erectile dysfunction” is often used by health care professionals to describe this disorder and to differentiate it from other problems that interfere with sexual intercourse, such as lack of sexual desire. Every man at some point in his life displays symptoms of impotence in varying degrees.

Health care professionals agree, that cases of impotence are often linked to psychological issues. No man is, in principal, impotent. However, embarrassment, fear, anxiety, ignorance and a lack of information may cause a man to feel inadequate and a non-performer. The couple may experience serious emotional reactions and difficulties which may have the unfortunate consequences of withdrawal and isolation from each other.

Do you feel sad or cry a lot? Are guilt, dejection, lethargy and mood swings all too commonplace in your life? Have you lost interest in activities, hobbies or life in general?
