4. It can be caused by stress
Most men will spend a huge amount of time obsessing about what the potential cause behind erectile dysfunction could be, and it’s normal for someone to hype themselves up until they think they might be suffering from some horrible, tropical disease – but you should calm down first. In most cases, the cause of erectile dysfunction is really nothing to be worried about.
For the majority of men, when it isn’t caused by hormonal imbalances in the body, it’s caused by shear stress. Stress can be more than enough to trigger erectile dysfunction, and it could be something in your life that you haven’t even thought about as a stressor.
Life is full of stress, and it could be just the wrong thought at the wrong time – something like, “Did I leave the oven on?” or “Did I leave the file open at work before I went home?” – can be enough to kill the moment.
