Impotence

Impotence (erectile dysfunction) means that an erection does not come about, or not sufficiently. It can have soul-related and physical causes and belongs to be clarified by a doctor – also because it can be an early warning signal for other illnesses. At the Kyborg Institute we additionally classify the theme on a soul-related level – expressly as a personal, worldview-based view.

Arousal and relaxation – our classification

Sexual arousal arises in the interplay of tension and relaxation: an erection succeeds above all when a person is inwardly loosened. Under pressure, stress or the feeling of “having to perform”, that is difficult. The need to be desired and accepted plays a role too. That is a worldview-based classification – no diagnosis and no therapy instruction.

Have it medically clarified, accept help

Behind an erectile dysfunction, physical causes can lie (e.g. cardiovascular, diabetes, medication). Therefore, it belongs to be clarified medically (by a urologist). Depending on the cause, medical treatments help, and with a soul-related component, couple or psychotherapy is sensible and effective. Environmental burdens are discussed as a possible influencing factor – that replaces no individual clarification.

What does that mean in practice?

• Have persistent complaints clarified by a urologist.
• Break down stress, take out the pressure; open conversations in the partnership.
• Accept professional help (medical and/or psychotherapeutic).
