Physical Causes of Erectile Dysfunction

The process of achieving an erection is complex and problems may occur for a variety of reasons. These problems can be psychological, physical, or a combination of the two.

Physical causes of ED are related to a breakdown or damage to the sequence of events that lead to an erection. This sequence involves nerve impulses in the brain, spine, and penis as well as the subsequent response in the muscles, fibrous tissues, veins and arteries in and near the corpora cavernosa.
Often times the breakdown or damage in the sequence affects the arteries, muscles, and surrounding tissues of the penis, and this breakdown is most commonly the result of a disease. Diseases that commonly cause ED include:

Diabetes: Diabetes can cause nerve and artery damage that can make achieving an erection difficult. According the National Institutes of Health, between 20% and 75% of men with diabetes experience ED. Having diabetes more than doubles the risk of having erectile dysfunction.
Kidney disease: Kidney disease can cause chemical changes to occur in your body that affect hormones, circulation, nerve function, and energy level. Often times these changes will lower a person's libido (sex drive) or sexual ability. Drugs used to treat kidney disease may also cause ED. Some estimates report that over 50% of men with kidney failure suffer from erectile dysfunction, decreased sex drive, and a significantly decreased sex life.
Neurological (nerve and brain) diseases: The nervous system (the body's system of nerves) plays a vital part in achieving and maintaining an erection and it is common for men with diseases such as stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and spinal cord injuries to experience ED. This is due to an interruption in the transmission of nerve impulses between the brain and the penis.
Vascular disease: Vascular diseases are those that affect the blood vessels. These diseases include atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), hypertension, and high cholesterol. These diseases, which account for 70% of physically-related causes of ED, all restrict blood flow to the heart, the brain and, in the case of ED, the penis.
Prostate cancer: Prostate cancer doesn't cause ED on its own, but treatment (radiation, hormonal manipulation, or surgery to remove the cancer) can lead to erectile problems.

The physical causes of ED are not only disease-related. There are many other potential causes, including:

Surgery: Surgery performed to treat diseases such as prostate cancer and bladder cancer often require the removal of nerves and tissues around the affected area which can lead to ED. Some of these surgeries result in only temporary problems (lasting 6-18 months) while others result in permanent damage to the nerves and tissue around the penis and require treatment in order for an erection to be achieved.
Injury: Injuries to the pelvis, bladder, spinal cord, and penis that require surgery also commonly cause ED.
Hormonal imbalances: Imbalances of hormones, such as thyroid hormones, prolactin, and testosterone, can affect a man's response to sexual stimulation. These imbalances can be the result of a tumor of the pituitary gland, kidney disease, liver disease, or hormonal treatment of prostate cancer.
Venous leak: If the veins in the penis cannot prevent blood from leaving the penis during an erection, an erection cannot be maintained. This is known as a venous leak, and can be a result of injury or disease.
Tobacco, alcohol or drug use: All three of these substances can damage a person's blood vessels and/or restrict blood flow to the penis, causing ED. Smoking in particular plays a large role in causing ED in people with arteriosclerosis.
Prescription drugs: There are more than 200 types of prescription drugs that may cause ED.
Prostate enlargement: Bladder neck obstruction due to prostate enlargement has recently been implicated in being associated with varying degrees of ED.

AN EVERY MAN SHOULD KNOW: HOW TO EXCEL ON DATE

Asking girl for a date is a charm or magic that man posses, that no man can explain how they did it. Wondering why? Well its Magic! Lucky are those men who dated a girl. What if its your first time? sometimes men are shy on dating because they don't know where to start or what to do on a date.

Some singles are in need of dating tips when it comes to their dating behavior and etiquette. This list of Dating Tips can serve as a helpful tool to truly reflect what it is that you are doing on dates ~ and if you aren't getting that second date, you might want to consider the possibility that you might be committing one of these Don'ts.

1). Don't pull out the BlackBerry / Answer cell phone calls. Your date will become annoyed and feel like they are being disrespected and that you don't consider the date important. DO: Turn those gadgets off for an hour! Try to give your date your full attention. Life and business will go on if you do not respond immediately to that incoming message.

2) Don't continually talk about yourself - No one finds a Talking Head to be interesting and overly attractive. Both parties should offer information about themselves and ask questions to find out more about the other person. Also, don't interrupt them when they are speaking. DO: Be attentive and listen! Keep in mind, you already know yourself, a date is time to learn about someone else.

3). Don't shut down if you aren't attracted to your date. An initial negative or positive response to someone's attractiveness can change over time, even within the first 15 minutes. By shutting down and not giving her a chance, you can sabotage a great relationship from ever developing. DO: Remain attentive to your date, even if you have doubts when you first sit down.

4). Don't complain about anything and everything. You'll be perceived as a very negative, dismal individual. Another component of this is being rude to restaurant staff and other individuals when out on a date. DO: Stay positive. Focus on your attitude, if you have nothing nice to say, refrain from saying it. Also, your date is examining how you treat other people and will take it as a direct example of how you will treat her in a relationship.

5). Don't Google someone prior to a date and then discuss your findings. Eeew! Don't let technology take the pleasure out of dating. The reason why you are there is to learn about them - why bother meeting them if you are going to conduct your own investigation from your safe haven behind the computer screen? DO: Keep an air of mystery flowing on a date and if you want to find out more about the person you're with, ask them directly.

The Golden Rule - Keep it real, have fun, and don't take it all so seriously. Put these dating tips to good use, enjoy yourself, and actively enjoy the other person's company!

WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT MAN DON'T KNOW ABOUT WOMEN?

It was a rainy day at 2:00 o'clock in the afternoon with my guy friend while having a nice conversation at Starbucks we came across with the topic "what are the things that man don't know about women?, well obviously no one dare to answer the question, so what I did was log on to Google browser then tried to find out the answer, well luckily found this answer. But some are in western setting so I tried to open my account on facebook and try to ask some of the ladies whom I consider as friend. (by the way they don't know that I'm going to post this on my blog).

1. It's cute when you don't quite know how to dress, so long as your not knowing doesn't involve jean shorts or a fanny pack. We can only handle so much eyestrain. —Cassie Rodenberg, 22, Charleston, South Carolina

2. We are easy to please ,we tell what we want, but the problem is that what it takes changes depending on our moods, we can't help being so emotional, in fact its the reasons you like us so much... – Gemma Nacion Marcos, Philippines

3. When we ask you how we look, you lose points every time you answer with "fine." —Dani Ruiz, 21, Encinitas, California

4. Electronics clipped to your pants are sexy only if you're Batman, Superman, or any other kind of man who needs them to save lives, not send e-mail. — Rachel Sturtz, 28, New York

5. We can read you like a book, so if something is wrong or bothering you, don't be afraid to share it. It saves us the trouble of having to spend all day guessing.

6. We like to talk a lot, so even if you don't really care about what we're saying, fake it.--Maria Jaena Delos Santos, Philippines

7. We appreciate when you can admit you're wrong, but we also don't want you to say sorry too much. —Katie Knies, 22, North Salem, New York

8. We'll never understand why you slap each other's butts when you're playing sports. And that's okay. —Aminata Dia, 22, San Jose, California

9. We don't like guys who agree with us all the time. — Katie Knies, 22, North Salem, New York

10. We don't need special moves. Just do the regular ones right. — Katie Dinardo, 23, Brooklyn

11. We want to see you cry every once in a while-it makes you human. To find out how often is acceptable, divide the number of cries by the number of no-holds-barred, screaming orgasms you've given us. If the quotient is greater than 0.25, you're a whiny bitch. — Carrie Dienhart, 34, Kansas City, Missouri

12. That we are much stronger than they think were not - Belle Alde Sibulo, Philippines

13. When we say that nothing is wrong, we mean that you should know what is wrong without us having to tell you. — Lara Ehrlich, 28, Chicago

14. Because we love security and fidelity, we also love love handles. Your six-pack anxiety only threatens us with the possibility you might care more about your abs than you care about us. —Alexis Justman, 23, El Centro, California

15. We gauge how good a father you'll be by how you treat your family. —Alexandria Pruitt, 24, Louisville

16. We might like your particularly tight pants, as long as no body parts are visible through them. —Anna Szapiro, 21, Takoma Park, Maryland

17. Within a year of dating you, we already know your jeans size, social security number, and important passwords by heart. So try and make sure you know a few things about us, too. Like our favorite color. —Melissa VanDerLinden, 27, Springfield, Missouri

18. Sometimes we just want to be alone. It's not you. It's us. Really. —Jennifer Smith, 34, Atlanta

19. Your natural smell is (usually) the sexiest cologne. Sarah Spry, 20, New York

20. We look into your minds by reading your magazines. — Lisa Alva, 49, Los Angeles

21. Presentation counts. Wrap your gift and iron your shirt. — Merritt Watts, 25, New York

22. We think the clean-laundry smell of you in your undershirt is a thousand times more appealing than even the best cologne. —Dina Sanchez, 29, Brooklyn

23. It's cute when you don't quite know how to dress, so long as your not knowing doesn't involve jean shorts or a fanny pack. We can only handle so much eyestrain. —Cassie Rodenberg, 22, Charleston, South Carolina

24. Be careful: singing to us can be totally cute. But only if you can actually sing. —Rose Farnsworth, 19, Nashville

ARE YOU A COFFEE DRINKER? HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS

Since I had my facebook account and talk to my friends over the internet for hours, I find my self that I am fun of drinking coffee and lately I've noticed that I consumed at least 3 cups at night and 1 of each morning and in the afternoon. Well, Is drinking to much coffee causes renal failure?

The answer in NO'.

Renal failure occurs for reason such as genetic factors, trauma to the kidney, previous infection, obstruction and loss of circulatory volume from the body following trauma causing shock. So, what are you waiting for go and grab a cup of coffee.

RELIEVE FROM ACHES

Men worked hard to support their family, to show them how much we value the love entrusted by our spouse and to show how much we love our children. Sometimes we tend not to complain about body aches specially the pain cause by the stress from work. How about try to pamper ourselves with therapeutic massage such as Shiatsu massage, Thai massage, Swedish massage etc. or simply have a simple massage from your spouse I'm sure this is not to much to ask... try it... and be relieve from aches.

ACERN.Talk: MEN'S HEALTH: How gentle is Gentlemen? Have you ever wonder why ...

ACERN.Talk: MEN'S HEALTH: How gentle is Gentlemen? Have you ever wonder why ...: How gentle is Gentlemen? Have you ever asked this question to yourself? Well I just did! And I was tongue tied for what I have discovered...

How gentle is Gentlemen? Have you ever wonder why men are called gentlemen?

How gentle is Gentlemen? Have you ever asked this question to yourself? Well I just did! And I was tongue tied for what I have discovered. Nevertheless, being born and raised by family who belong in lower class in a third world country I can say that without being in socially known and wealthy individual still man can be called "gentlemen" .Just simply being you or simply me.

Being courteous is widely found to anyone, though sometimes there are instances that we tend forget this, but it doesn’t mean we can never be called as “Gentleman” since we are only human we are bound to commit mistakes and treat the woman unkindly.

Here are the things what men truly are called “gentlemen”:

Good hygiene is a must. Don't just use a bar of soap, but do scrub yourself. Don’t use a lot when applying deodorant or cologne. Some girls may not like the smell and if you reek of it they're not going to be pleased. Also, make sure you don't use too much hair gel (it's sticky and goes rock hard after a while).
Pay attention to how you look. Wear clothes that fit your body well, eliminate flashy clothing and avoid fashion "faux pas" (i.e. baseball hats cocked slightly to the side). A simpler wardrobe will keep the emphasis on you, not your clothes, which will change your outlook. Get regular haircuts
A true gentleman is polite to everyone, in action and words. Always be aware of how you can help people. Wait an extra few seconds to hold the door for the person behind you. Offer to help an old or pregnant person get their grocery bags to the car. You don't have to be paranoid or risk killing yourself (i.e if you've got a precarious grip on something heavy, don't open the door for someone) but respect is paramount. Even if someone is being stupid, be polite and respectful.
Be prepared to ask questions or make statements of courtesy, like "may I help you?", or "let me get that for you", or "I'll take care of that"
Don't swear. Ever. Don't speak of vulgar matter. If it's too difficult to stop cursing all-together, tone it down a lot.
Don't stare at and ogle women or say anything degrading to or about them.
n public, don't: fart, belch, speak too loudly, be overly demanding/offensive, or drink heavily. A gentleman is always in control of himself, body and mind.
Give girls a little extra respect. Don't be obsequious, but neofeminism has kind of gotten rid of some basic politeness that they'll appreciate, such as opening car/building doors, etc. Don't put every girl on a pedestal (we're all human), but they'll really appreciate it if you do them favors, like giving up your seat on the bus even though they're not carrying anything heavy.
Don't talk about yourself much. On the other hand, girls like to know a little bit about you so they can understand what you are talking about sometimes. In addition to making you a much more desirable conversationalist, it will make you seem more mysterious to not share too much, which many women find attractive. Get a basic idea of what's going on in music, sports, and politics.
Learn to avoid politics and religion until you know someone better, and learn how to be neutral if someone else brings it up. A simple shrug will do wonders. A gentleman doesn't make other people uncomfortable.
Pay attention to the fact that the world is more threatening for girls: they're automatically targets at night or in bad neighborhoods. Walk her to her door (or car) if at all possible. It doesn't matter how strong she actually is, if you're a girl people will go at you first, whereas by virtue of being male you're safer. If your girl has to park far away from her dorm or home, always offer to drive her to and from your destination. She will appreciate how caring you are about her safety.
Remember to keep doing nice things for your girlfriend when you're around her. If she's carrying something, pick it up when she puts it down and always kindly let her know by saying "oh, let me get that for you", whatever the object is. Remember, being selfish is not attractive. If you are watching television with your girl and you know she likes a particular show or sporting event, leave it there. She will appreciate that little bit of selflessness more than you know.
Show up with a card or a flower and not just for holidays. Expensive and showy doesn't matter, it's the effort. In fact, a rose, a little love note left on her pillow, or a heartfelt kiss will keep any girl happy for days.
. Be open about yourself to her and share with one another, making sure you laugh and keep things upbeat. Don't be a stiff bore.
There are some things you shouldn't talk to girls about. These include how hot other girls are, or anything at all of that nature. If she's not into sports or video games, you can say a few things but then move on to something she's into. Girls tend to be more interested in books and music than in sports and video games, though there are plenty of exceptions to every rule. It's fine to talk about that stuff with your guy friends, but a gentleman doesn't do that.
Stand up for your girl. Don't go around punching everyone who looks at her sideways, but if anyone's giving her looks or unwanted advances, intervene. Put your arm around her shoulder and move yourselves away, or go to her and speak up for her. The physical contact reassures her and lets the aggressor know that he's got to deal with both of you.
Always have a straight posture (nobody likes a slouches)
Do not talk down to women ever. It's ok to tease but being cruel is not the way to go. Teasing does not mean calling them vulgar words, however. No matter how joking your tone is, it hurts a woman when a so-called "gentleman" calls them a dirty word.
Avoid fighting, as it isn't the best way to solve problems, however a real gentleman never backs off when he's challenged, always standing up for himself and his values. Remember to prioritize and not sacrifice your values for someone who is clearly just picking a fight with whomever will join in. If someone is simply embarrassing himself by offending you, don't sink to his level, but walk away.
If you do decide to fight, keep the straight posture, even if your rival is taller than you. Be reasonable, never use weapons, such as guns, knives and the like, as this kind of "chivalry" is from the old days and might end up seriously damaging you. And never, never fight in/against a group, for a gentleman only duel; do not try to be Chuck Norris. If your opponent is down, that means you made your point and it's time to stop fighting. Offer him a hand to get up, always expecting a bad reaction, as he might not have the same values as you have.
When walking on the sidewalk or on the side of the road, gentlemen should walk on the outside (closer to the road), whereas the lady should be on the inside, protected from oncoming traffic.

TIPS

Be sincere.
Basic hygiene and a clean appearance is important but a gentleman should not be obsessed with his looks. He is not a fop. He is a polite and unselfish man.
Loving her means always giving (do not take this literally) so keep that in mind while you are with her. Always give (love, time, and words of affirmation). Just don't give so much that you resent her. It's okay to also spend some time with your guy friends.
Looking good doesn't mean you can't keep wearing jeans, T-shirts, and sneakers, it just means that they should all be clean, unwrinkled, look good on you, and not be offensive. However, at the end of the day, it's the guy inside the clothes that counts. It's also good to wear a belt, it can do wonders.
Always be aware of your surroundings and your actions, as how others perceive you can play a role and how you are received by others.
It's not as hard as it sounds.
Truth walks side by side with men, and so does falsity. Being a gentleman is not necessarily about looking like one.
If a girl doesn't respect you if you are a true gentleman, she is not worth it. If you have made yourself worthwhile, the person you are with should treat you like it.
Lead by example that means being considerate of others and talk about things that people can relate to like the economy etc.. This shows interest of people in their immediate surroundings.
Maintain eye contact when having a conversation with her, don't be checking her or any other girl out. When she's speaking give her your attention and don't talk over her.

WARNING

Don't use drugs or drink alcohol to excess. They will impair your judgment, and a true
gentleman is in control of himself at all times.
Gentlemen have dignity and honor by their sides, yet they are humble and thoughtful. You're
not better than anyone else just because you're doing this. Don't think it, don't act like it.
While being helpful is nice, don't be overbearing.
A gentleman can recognize it when he loses a fight. Know the difference between standing up for yourself and being a fool.
