Erectile dysfunction is common in men - basically, it's the inability to achieve and maintain an erection for a specific period of time.
Erectile dysfunction can affect young men in their teens and 20's and all ages, really.
There are several causes for this - ranging from harmless to life threatening.
Here are the top 6 causes of erectile dysfunction.
1. Anxiousness - if a guy is feeling anxious, the hormones released will prevent an erection from happening.
2. Erectile dysfunction can be caused by a sedentary lifestyle - if a guy sits around too much, blood actually pools in the pelvic area resulting in stale, unfresh blood that doesn't have the nutrients to help a guy get an erection. Studies show that guys with erectile dysfunction who sit around and don't exercise, are able to decrease their erectile dysfunction with regular exercise.
3. Smoking - we all know it's bad for you, but the chemical in cigarettes that causes addiction (nicotine) is a potent blood vessel constrictor (meaning it cuts off the blood supply) and the penis can't work properly if this is going on!
4. Alcohol - we all know the story of the guy who had to much to drink and couldn't get it up - there's no doubt short term, excessive alcohol ingestion has this effect. But if you drink too much on and ongoing basis, too much alcohol can deplete certain nutrients (vitamin B12) that in turn leads to nervous system damage - and ongoing erectile dysfunction.
5. Heart Disease - this is the big one. If a man age 40 and over is struggling with erectile dysfunction, then he needs to be worked up for heart disease. While we call it "heart disease" that disease process can occur in the blood vessels throughout the body - and wee know that heart disease, more properly termed 'cardiovascular disease' can affect the vessels of the penis and be an early warning sign for heart disease.
6. Poor diet - we need specific food nutrients (the enzymes arginine and citrulline) to make something called nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is the chemical that opens and closes our blood vessels. This process needs to happen very efficiently in the genitals, otherwise erectile dysfunction is the result.
A diet poor in healthy foods (fruits, vegetables and lean, fresh proteins) can leave you unable to produce adequate amounts of nitric oxide and along with some other compromise of the genital area (those listed above), poor diet can contribute to erectile dysfunction.
Taking steps to rule out heart disease, limit alcohol, improve diet, get more exercise and stoping smoking are important ways to fix erectile dysfunction, naturally.

A major contributing factor to erectile dysfunction is circumcision. Circumcision increases the risk of ED by over 450%. As well as severing a lot of veins and blood vessels needed to bring blood to the penis, circumcision also removes thousands of nerve endings, and also leaves the glans exposed to abrasion and drying out, causing it to be further desensitised. The damage gets worse over time, and often causes major problems by the age of 40 or 50, sometimes much earlier. Countries that commonly circumcise, such as the US, the Philippines, and Israel, consume hugely disproportionate quantities of erectile dysfunction medication. Hundreds of thousands of men are using non-surgical techniques to restore their foreskins. I would highly recommend foreskin restoration to any circumcised man, especially if he is suffering from erectile dysfunction. Men who have restored their foreskins report huge improvements to comfort and sexual function. It's also important that parents know the risks involved with circumcision, so they can prevent it happening to their sons in the first place.
