A
satisfying sex life portrays a huge role in a man's quality of life. However, just
about 30 million men in the United States, or about half of all men aged 40 to
70, have trouble achieving or sustaining an erection hard enough for sex.
For these men, the promises offered by pharmaceutical drugs like Viagra, Levitra and Cialis seemed like the perfect solution.
Though, while these medications may help improve erection quality, about two-thirds of men taking drugs for erectile dysfunction are still experiencing less than satisfying sex, according to a study conducted by researchers at Cornell University.

Based on
the results of this study, published in the British
Journal of Urology International, 65% of men on ED meds said they have
reduced pleasure during orgasm, and 58% reported ejaculation problems, ranging
from premature ejaculation to an inability to ejaculate altogether.
According
to the researchers, this is because during the last few decades, doctors and
the pharmaceutical industry have focused on penile rigidity as the sole marker
of sexual health. As a result, getting a hard, sustainable erection has become one
and the same with normal sexual function.
However, many men say that problems with ejaculation – like decreased force or volume – and decreased sensation at orgasmare just as unfavorable to their virility as erectile dysfunction.

True sexual
satisfaction has been associated to the likelihood (and pleasure) of orgasm,
which in turn affects emotional intimacy and relationship satisfaction. So the
fact of the matter is – satisfying sex is about more than getting an erection.
It also depends on desire (libido), erection (arousal), ejaculation (force and volume) and orgasm/satisfaction.

Satisfying Sex Is About More Than Erectile Function
