Erectile dysfunction can tear apart, relationships-even the strongest ones. However, owing to this fact, researchers have spent decades in the search for a cure. There are many new methods in the market, and hypnosis for erectile dysfunction is one of them (1<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Interestingly, erectile dysfunction is not caused by an infectious agent or pathogen but is a result of a person’s mental health, physical trauma, and overall cell toxicity (2<\/a>). However, there is proof that hypnosis for erectile dysfunction can work wonders.<\/p>\n

Erectile dysfunction is commonly seen in older males, but can also be found in younger men, although rare. It is a physical condition where a man feels sexually challenged owing to the way his penis behaves; those with erectile dysfunction cannot hold their erection for long, hence failing to perform in bed (3<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Physical Causes Associated with Erectile Dysfunction<\/h2>\n

Erectile dysfunction occurs when there is a lack of blood supply to the penile tissue. This, in turn, results in a flaccid penis, rendering it unable to participate in successful sexual behavior with a partner.<\/p>\n

Physical causes of erectile dysfunction include damage caused by excessive smoking, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.<\/p>\n

Psychological Causes Associated with Erectile Dysfunction<\/h2>\n

Some people maintain traumas that carry on into their sexual lives; when this happens, it is termed as a “psychological cause” behind a physical malfunction. Psychological causes are often purely thought-based and have little or nothing to do with physical causes or trauma.<\/p>\n

Understanding Hypnosis<\/h2>\n

When a person is hypnotized, they are induced into a state of subconsciousness, or consciousness, in which they lose the power to control their voluntary actions and instead follow the dictations of another being or power, as if under a zombie-like trance.<\/p>\n

Hypnosis to Treat Erectile Dysfunction<\/h2>\n

Recently, researchers have begun to see hypnosis under a new light; many have even deemed the process safe for all to use (4<\/a>, 5<\/a>). This technique stems from the idea that some forms of erectile dysfunction stem from psychological traumas or instances of low self-esteem. In essence, this means that some people with erectile dysfunction suffer from this condition not because their bodies have physically defected or incapable of performing well in bed, or otherwise, but because they have trouble maintaining an erection in certain situations.<\/p>\n

For example, a man may be able to maintain his erection during self-stimulation, but be unable to sustain it when engaging with a partner\u2014instances like this hint strongly at an underlying psychological trauma that needs resolving.<\/p>\n

In such cases, using alternative healing tactics, like hypnosis, can prove to be a powerful tool against erectile dysfunction (6<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Hypnosis works by altering the way a person thinks; it snatches an individual’s unique thinking ability and feeds their mind with information that they might otherwise not acquire, or instructions that they would not have followed on their own.<\/p>\n

Hypnosis can be considered a form of therapy; it’s like mind medicine, which, unlike brain medicine, deals with metaphysical manifestations, such as the mind itself (7<\/a>, 8<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In some cases, it is believed that even purely physiological problems, like erectile dysfunction caused simply due to vasoconstriction, maintains a psychological element. This hints at the idea that the mind has the ability to control a person’s physiological wellbeing.<\/p>\n

This means that we can train the brain to fix its flawed techniques and convince it to supply the erectile tissue with sufficient blood flow again, hence helping an individual maintain their erection<\/p>\n

Furthermore, this suggests that using hypnosis for erectile dysfunction treatment is, in fact, a viable solution.<\/p>\n

How to Use Hypnosis for Erectile Dysfunction Treatment<\/h2>\n

Hypnosis for erectile dysfunction requires time, dedication, and patience.<\/p>\n

Most experts suggest starting with a yoga-like eye-shut technique. The patient must close their eyes and try to block out the rest of the world. After this, the patient must follow up with several minutes of focused awareness, which comprises of deep self -reflection. The patient must meditate and reach within themselves, mentally, to understand the reason or specific traumatic incident that makes them feel unable to maintain an erection.<\/p>\n

After this relaxation and reflection are complete, the body and mind both must return to a state of total calmness; next, one must visualize themselves maintaining their erection. Some people perform better when they close their fists and pretend that their erection depends on how tightly their fists are closed. This may create a connection between the physical and mental states of being, ultimately helping the patient achieve their goals.<\/p>\n

Hypnosis for erectile dysfunction treatment can be performed by an individual on themselves, or they may request a professional or friend to guide them through the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
