Around 1 in 4 men reporting ED are below 40 years\nof age. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No romantic relationship is complete\nwithout a healthy sexual relationship. The dysfunction leads to distressed\nrelationships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, the distress creeps into\nevery aspect of life. A man loses the ability to concentrate and focus at work.\nFurther, it multiplies the dissatisfaction and causes extreme frustration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The embarrassment around the topic\nkeeps the man at bay from seeking help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, there is no reason to hold onto the situation. Losing erections during sex is common and treatable at the same time.
