Impotence in Men: Save Your Marriage, Maintain Optimum Nutrition

The reasons for getting into any marriage are numerous but one of paramount importance is for sexual pleasure. A satisfying sexual relationship is one of the keys to a quality marital relationship. Sexual gratification involves meeting sexual needs in a manner that is satisfying to both spouses. Thus, any jeopardy to sexual satisfaction in marital relationships is not always treated lightly. No sane woman can stand any man who cannot satisfy her sexual desire. Women often treat such men like trained soldiers who stand next to the enemy but cannot shoot at him/her. Sexual impotence is one of the outstanding shocks to rather once stable relationships.

Medically it is simply defined as the failure of men to obtain or maintain an erection that is sufficiently firm to permit copulation or penetration. Impotence is a common problem and in the United States it is estimated that between 10 and 15 million men suffer from severe erectile dysfunction. The incidence of the problem seems to increase with age. Statistics show that less than 1 percent of the male population under 30 years of age is affected, 3 percent under 45 years, 7 percent between 45 and 55 years, 25 percent at age 65, and up to 75 percent in men 80 years old.

It is one of the major causes of marriage breakages and failed relationships as well as increased spread of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). Many women cannot tolerate a man who cannot satisfy their sexual desire. Consequently, they start indulging in marital conflicts, extramarital relationships and eventually separation or desertion follows. All these usually come with heavy psychological and physical harms which leave their victims perturbed. Such effects could be chronic and can lead to death of one or both spouses.
