When it comes to talking about sex we often shy away, but it is important that we give importance to these problems as they often are indicators of a more serious issue. One reason for the lack of intimacy is impotence, which is the inability to have an erection, which is firm enough to engage in sexual intercourse.
Impotence or the lack of desire may happen from time to time but if it happens very frequently then it is a sign of some other psychological condition that has to be treated. It is most important to meet with a medical doctor to rule out any physical problem, if there is none, then it necessary to meet with a psychologist to help understand the psychological issue.
Impotence can occur due to physical factors like high blood pressure, heart diseases, alcoholism, etc and also due to psychological factors like stress and depression. Thus, it leads to various complications like relationship problems, an unsatisfactory sex life, depression and low self-esteem.
Firstly, discuss your symptoms with your family doctor who will help determine if the problem is physical. If the problem is not physical but psychological then you will need to consult with an experienced Psychologist.
“You can talk with a close friend or relative about what’s troubling you; but it’s not the same as professionally-trained experienced psychologist who knows exactly what kind of help you need” – Dr. Prerna Kohli.
