Hyderabad: Over 33 per cent of men in India suffer from erectile dysfunction and this estimate by Indian sexologists was stated in the 29th National Conference of Sexology in Hyderabad on Saturday. Lifestyle stress is proving to be a major cause for this problem. The incidence of pre-mature ejaculation before intercourse is high and most Indian men consider it to be their inability to perform good sex.
Dr G. Venkataramana, sexologist and organising secretary of the conference said, “The high level of stress suffered by both men and women is reducing their ability to perform good sex. As they are not able to perform they try to stay away from it. This is wrong. A good sex does not mean proper erection and orgasm which is a very strong misconception in India. It merely means the ability of a man and woman to share the pleasure.”
Drugs are for those who suffer from a medical condition which makes it very difficult for them to have an erection. Dr Col V.K. Wadia, sexologist from Delhi said, “Drugs act as stimulants and allow for a proper intercourse. Those who suffer from it at a young age are prescribed for reasons of reproduction. At a later stage, some of them prefer it for psychological reasons as they believe that a proper erection alone is the key to good sex.”
Erection problems are also seen in those men who are on steroids and those who take medicines for prolonged illness like diabetes and cancer. For such men, one way to regain confidence is to masturbate. During masturbation most men relearn to ejaculate with a firm erection. “This gives them a lot of confidence and hence we suggest some of our 45-year-old patients to at times masturbate before they go in for sexual intercourse with their partners. The stimulation is instant and it makes them feel good,” says Dr Vijayasarathi Ramanathan, medical sex therapist and researcher.
But there are some cases where drugs and psychological counseling does not work and for those insistent patients penile implants are being suggested by sexologist. In India, there have been only few cases of implants and they have been only on 60-year-old patients. Penile implant is a silicon wire which allows for artificial erection before sexual intercourse. “It has to be manually managed by the patient. In India men who are sexually active at 60-years of age are opting for it,” said Dr Venkataramana.
Talking about the scenario in the West, Dr Margaret Redlman, a sex therapist based in Australia says, “A lot of men have wild erotic sex in the West. They get bored very easily. Their sexual frustration is high compared to Asians who are slow and comforting. In the west, sex life begins at an early age which results in erectile dysfunction in some men at early 30s itself.”
