When men become sexually impotent the damage is not purely physical but psychological too and thus they can change completely into unrecognisable people which can cause great worry and stress to others around them.

This change in character can take many different shapes. For example some men retreat into their shell and become quiet, reserved and lacking in confidence. This can affect their work, how they communicate with members of their family and generally make them less productive and positive individuals. Men who are successfully treated for the physical condition of impotence can almost instantly regain their confidence and immediately become the person they once were.

Other men who suffer from impotence become extremely frustrated which expresses itself in the form of anger, short tempers and unreasonable behaviour. Wives and girlfriends of impotent men are often on the receiving end of these potentially dangerous mood swings which have been known to end up in violent incidents. Women should be extremely careful of taunting or teasing men about their impotence because it could provoke a violent incident.

Another way that impotence affects men is that it causes depression. Some doctors have said that the erectile dysfunction drugs Viagra, Cialis and Levitra should not only be considered to be drugs to treat male erectile problems but also as drugs which can alleviate the depression. They say that there’s nothing like a good erection to put a smile back on a man’s face.

While some men are happy to live with erectile dysfunction and see it as a normal sign of aging in some cases the problem manifests itself in serious and unhealthy character changing behaviour patterns. If you find that sexual problems are causing you stress and anxiety you should get treatment because it will greatly improve your quality of life, relax you and enable you to live life to the max.
