Erectile dysfunction is a health condition that is described by the inability of a man to get an erection strong and durable enough for having successful sexual intercourse. There are different levels of severity observed with erectile dysfunction, ranging from mild and occasional problems to severe cases when there's absolutely no erection for years. It is believed that this health concern is quite common in men older than 50, however it may affect all men even in their 20s.

It is still unclear what is the direct cause for this condition, however there are specific factors that are known to influence its development. There are psychological and physiological implications that can trigger male impotence. Some of the most common physiological conditions that cause erectile dysfunction include diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, damage to the spinal cord, medication side effects, substance abuse, and smoking to name a few. Psychological conditions that raise the risk of experiencing ED include stress, depression, anxiety disorders, mental illness, relationship and communication problems.

When it comes to the actual treatment of erectile dysfunction there's not much choice at the moment. Drugs like Viagra, Cialis and Levitra are by far the most effective ways of dealing with male impotence and they help millions of men all over the world to keep up their sexual activity. Nevertheless, the biggest problem about these drugs is the high expectations people have about their use. Most men think that by popping a single pill of say Levitra they will turn into real sex machines that will be able to have sex for hours. And when they actually try these drugs for the first time with such anticipations there's nothing to expect other than disappointment.

First of all, drugs like Levitra are not aphrodisiacs and won't result in an automatic erection after taking them. You have to be sexually aroused to get an erection, just like you normally have to in normal circumstances. So if you have problems with libido and aren't likely to be sexually aroused, none of these drugs will be of any help to you. The same goes for sexual stamina and abilities in bed. If you never had sexual home-runs and multi-hour sex then you shouldn't fantasize about it before taking Levitra - it just won't happen.

These erectile dysfunction medications are developed to intensify the blood flow in the penis and help get a strong and durable erection when it's needed. They aren't sexual enhancers and won't affect your libido in any way. Of course, the mere ability of having an erection alone can be a great boost in confidence and make you perform better in bed. But this won't have to do anything with Levitra or any other similar drug. So if you're looking for a great time in the bedroom, don't forget that it will require your personal effort as well. Don't lay it all on the drug - it won't do everything for you and you'll have to come prepared if you want to have great sex this time around.
