Our guest, Shari James, discusses the myths of erectile dysfunction (ED) and the real causes behind this ailment.

Nearly 1 in 4 men under the age of 30 suffer from erectile dysfunction and the rates are much higher when we look at the entire lifespan of a man. Most men choose to take Viagra to deal with this problem. Although there is nothing wrong with this approach under most circumstances Viagra doesn’t address the underlying cause of the issue.

As a mental health or other healing arts practitioner, it’s clearly important to have a broader understanding of the causes of sexual disorders. According to our guest, there are a number of areas that typically need to be addressed in order to resolve ED. Those areas include: learning how to maintain a healthy mental state and releasing strong emotions regularly, increase circulation in the body, decrease stress, retraining the nervous system if trauma exists, harnessing and managing sexual energy, and saying yes to reality and no to porn.
