There are millions of men with true physical conditions that may prevent an erection. However, our concern is that most doctors have neither the knowledge about Human Sexuality nor the resources to determine the most appropriate treatment. We would recommend that continuing education classes be required in human sexuality, so that physicians can gain the necessary expertise and skills to more fully serve the needs of their patients. Our belief is that doctors need to be trained to take a look at the bigger picture in the way they evaluate symptomology. In this case, we would argue that impotence is about more than a lack of an erection.
Impotence literally is a sense of powerlessness.
We have often found that feeling of powerlessness comes from apprehension from a deep-seated knowing that most men haven't been properly educated or trained in sexual expression so that their lovemaking can truly show love and caring for their partners and themselves. Many of our clients have admitted that they are apprehensive because, at core, they don't feel competent and, in many cases, they're not. Knowledge is power. The knowledge of how to have our sexuality be satisfying to ourselves and our partners can make us more potent than any pill or drug. It seems to us that the traditional approach towards erectile difficulties, of taking the focus off attaining an erection and putting it on the myriad of pleasurable activities available, is still a good idea.
