Impotence Guide
Treating Erectile Dysfunction Safely & Effectively

Most men will have to face up to the challenge of impotence at least once in their lifetime...

Woody Allen once said:  "Sex is the most fun you can have without laughing." But if you're one of an estimated 150 million men worldwide who have erectile dysfunction you will know that sex is no laughing matter.

So it's important to understand that you're not alone and that help is readily available.

Recent research indicates that less than 10% of men with ED seek treatment. 

Perhaps this is because, as Dr Sally Christopher, Medical Director at the Burnett Sexual Health Centre, says: 

"There are so many myths attached to male sexuality and sexual performance, that men perceive their 'masculinity' may be at stake if they admit to experiencing impotence."

The good news is that while there is no "cure" for male erectile dysfunction, there are a number of very effective treatments now widely available. Since Viagra, the original ED pill, burst on to the market in 1998, over 16 million men worldwide have been treated successfully and have been able to resume an active sex life. 

And the news gets even better.

Now that Viagra patents have expired, the pharmaceutical market has expanded to include new, similar prescription drugs. These new drugs, called PDE-5 inhibitors, include Cialis and Levitra.

Another new breakthrough medication, Uprima, works by stimulating the area of the brain responsible for arousal and stimulation, heralding a whole new approach to the treatment of impotency.

Researchers believe that the market for impotency drugs is going to expand rapidly over the next five to ten years as the baby boomers approach retirement age. As patents on the current best-selling drugs expire, cheaper generic brands are flooding the marketplace. This is good news for the market because the volume of new drugs available will raise the quality stakes and force prices down.

Estimates suggest that the global sale of impotency drugs will reach $6 billion annually over the next six years.

Possibly the greatest impact of this new genre of medications is the steady increase in the number of men seeking treatment.

Advertisers are now taking a more aggressive approach to their ad campaigns to convince men who have problems with impotence that they no longer need to suffer in silence.

Media ads are actively encouraging men who experience ED to seek assistance, not simply as a "one time fix", but as a long- term solution that not only offers effective treatment, but enhances their quality of life.

And that's got to be a good thing for everyone.
