ED - Emotional vs. Physical Causes

THE PROBLEM

If you are having ED problems, getting or maintaining an erection, you probably are confused as to what to do about it. You might ask yourself: Is ED a physical problem? Is it all in my head? Should I get a prescription?

One thing is certain: not being able to get and maintain an erection can have a devastating effect on your sex life and overall sense of well being.

Not only can this destroy your self-confidence, but it can also cause insecurity in your partner. These are not the ingredients for a happy relationship.

According to Joel Block Ph.D., best selling author and a senior psychologist at The Long Island Jewish Medical Center, many sex therapists agree the causes of erectile dysfunction are emotional and not physical.

The physical causes of ED include vascular, neurological, or hormonal causes. Of these, by far the most common physical cause is vascular. If you have concerns that your problem is vascular, you should see a urologist (not a general practitioner), and ask for a RIGI Scan.

A PRACTICAL WAY TO DETERMINE IF YOUR ED PROBLEM IS EMOTIONAL

A practical way to determine if the ED problem is emotional (and therefore treatable without medication) is to answer the following questions:

Do you get an erection while masturbating?

Do you get an erection while sleeping?

Do you get erections with one lover and not another?

Do you get an erection before penetration?

If you answered yes to ANY of these questions, then your ED is most likely emotional, not physical.

WHAT ARE THE EMOTIONAL CAUSES?

The three most common causes of impotence are stress, unhappiness with your partner and performance anxiety. Most of the time it is a combination of these factors, as the inability to perform can be stressful and bad for your relationship.

When you focus on your performance, this can start what Dr. Block calls the obsessive cycle. The more you worry about your inability to perform, the more likely you won't be able to!

The danger is not losing your erection, but what you do when it occurs. If you have been focusing on the problem, then you have turned a short-term issue into a long-term problem.

Don't worry. You can break the cycle and become a better lover in the process.

BREAKING THE CYCLE: Ending Erectile Dysfunction With "Maintaining Pleasure" - A Two CD Self Help Program

On the first CD in this program, you will learn specific techniques from Dr. Block which will break this cycle. He will guide you through the same exercises he has used with hundreds of successful clients in his office.

By the end of the program you will not only be able to get and maintain an erection, you will also be a much better lover. You can now truly focus on your partner and not your performance.

You will learn to get into what psychologists call the "Flow State," a state of mind where you are truly in the moment.

Visualization exercises will guide you through a process that stops stressful thoughts about love making. You will actually see yourself as a good lover.

You will also learn sexual breathing exercises. These exercises have been proven over time to dramatically improve sexual performance.

The information on the first CD alone is enough for most people to overcome ED. However, in order to make sure you will be completely satisfied, we added proven hypnosis sessions.

HYPNOSIS and ED

It is only natural that you might be skeptical of hypnosis for the treatment of ED. Therefore, we are going to point you to two studies:

According to the Scandinavian Journal of Urology and Nephrology, ED that cannot be linked to physical causes has been successfully treated by hypnosis. In this trial, three out of every four men in the trial were helped. [Scandinavian Journal of Urology and Nephrology. 31: 271-4, 1997]

According to the British Journal of Urology, hypnosis improved the sexual function of men with no organic cause for their impotence at a rate of 80%. The interesting part about this study is that hypnosis outperformed both testosterone and trazodone. [Aydin S et al. "Efficacy of testosterone, trazodone and hypnotic suggestion in the treatment of non-organic male sexual dysfunction." British Journal of Urology. 77(2):256-60, 1996.]

On the second CD in this program, Dr. Lonnie Barbach, best-selling author and faculty member of the University of California Medical School, will guide you through two hypnosis sessions.

These reinforce the most important lesson from Dr. Block's techniques CD: being able to focus on your partner and not your performance.

Dr. Barbach uses powerful hypnotic stories (known as Ericksonian hypnosis) to help your subconscious mind experience sexual sensations and your partner completely.

Don't be surprised if you find these sessions highly erotic. This is a positive in the case of ED.

Why Choose This Program?

First of all, it works:

"Dr. Block explains how to easily apply effective, research-based techniques. His style is engaging and supportive. This approach will help men and their partners enhance their intimate time together. I heartily recommend this CD."

— Sherry Henig, Ph.D. clinical psychologist.

Secondly, you will not find it anywhere else. Dr. Block and Dr. Barbach created this program exclusively for The Hypnosis Network.

And finally, whenever you buy any kind of hypnosis program, you need to be very careful about its source. Hypnosis is an unregulated profession, and there are plenty of people out there selling hypnosis products of questionable value.

At The Hypnosis Network, every one of our therapists has a doctorate in a health care discipline. All are world-leading experts in their field.

Warning: Hypnosis Programs Are Not Created Equal

The Hypnosis Network Promise

We created The Hypnosis Network in order to provide you with the absolute best recorded hypnosis sessions in the world. As users of hypnosis, we noticed that there was no legitimate source for quality hypnosis audio programs.

The problems were two-fold:

Over 95% of the companies selling hypnosis sessions online were not licensed mental health professionals. The few who were licensed mental health professionals did not specialize in the issues in which for which they were creating sessions.

I don't know about you, but if my issue is weight loss, for example, I want a weight loss specialist – not a generalist.

The truth about hypnosis or any other technique is that the quality of the solution is only as good as the person providing it. Hypnosis in and of itself is not effective.

What is effective is the expertise of the provider who then uses hypnosis as a tool in order to help you get your desired result.

The Hypnosis Network was created to address these issues. Based on these facts, we make you these promises:

Every program we create is by the most qualified provider available for each particular outcome. For example, if the issue is increasing your productivity, then we find the best productivity psychologist. If the issue is sports performance, we seek out the most qualified sports psychologist.

Every provider we choose is state-licensed in their area of expertise. Unlike other companies, we do not accept people who just have “certifications,” as certifications are meaningless in the world of hypnosis.

We will not "over-promote" our products or make false promises. Most hypnosis or self improvement programs that we see make wild promises that cannot be backed up by research (or common sense, for that matter).

We realize that hypnosis is a valuable tool that you can use to help yourself realize a desired outcome. It's nothing more and nothing less. It is not a cure-all, and is not magical in any way, shape, or form.

We are the only hypnosis audio session provider with the Health on the Net seal, meaning we have an outside 3rd party who holds us to these standards.

We will not ask you to “buy in” to any wild belief system, or ask you to suspend your rational judgment. Hypnosis is a tool that has been approved by the American Medical Association since 1958, and is rooted in science.

You will find that our programs are straightforward and are not based on "magical" thinking.

We back every product with a no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. We are very generous in this regard, giving you one full year to try the programs.

If your selected program is not helping you achieve the desired results, then just send it back to us for a full refund. Even with this generous policy, less than 4 people out of every 100 who order decide to send the programs back.

These promises all mean one thing. You are assured that the programs created by the expert hypnosis providers at The Hypnosis Network will be the most effective hypnosis sessions available for home use today. If after using the programs, you do not believe this to be the case – just send them back.

Good luck!

Cam Marcus & Michael Lovitch Founders, The Hypnosis Network

Have Questions? We've Got Answers.

Q. Can I be hypnotized? What if I'm "resistant"?

People of average intelligence (unless there is some form of organic brain damage) can be hypnotized in most cases if they are willing and do not resist.

The depth of hypnosis varies with a person's ability to respond. If you are not a naturally responsive subject, you can improve your receptivity to hypnosis with practice.

If you are totally resistant to the intent of the program you are considering, then it's not for you. You can't use hypnosis if you don't want to, because no one can hypnotize you against your will.

Q. How should I use this program for maximum effectiveness?

A comfortable chair is the best place to listen, although a couch will also work. If you are listening to these in bed, for the first cycle it will be best if you do not go into a deep sleep unless so stated by the hypnosis session itself.

After the first cycle, you may use the sessions before bedtime (they make great sleep aids). Do not try to listen at your computer – experience shows that it won't work.

These sessions work best when you are undisturbed and comfortable. Please make sure your phone ringer is off and that you will not be disturbed for a 25-minute period. Headphones are OK, but are not necessary.

Listen to only one session a day - the introduction does not count as a session. The sessions are incremental and should be listened to in the order presented on the CDs.

We do recommend that you repeat each session at least four times before moving on to the next session. You will find that the programs will be the most effective if you listen at least 5 days a week for a minimum of three weeks . . . changing behavior is not going to happen overnight.

Once you have listened to all the sessions in order, we suggest that you go back and re-listen to the sessions that you find most relevant. The listening order can now be mixed.

If you have multiple programs from The Hypnosis Network, please complete each program separately and completely before moving on to another one.

Q. Can I listen to this program while driving?

No. All sessions are hypnotic. Do NOT listen to any sessions while driving or while engaged in any activity that requires your attention.

Q. Will the program work if I fall asleep while I'm listening?

Probably not, but sometimes hypnosis is confused with sleep. If you wake up at the end of each session, then you were in a deep trance and were not asleep – which is excellent!

If you wake up hours later, then you were asleep and the session will not be effective (unless of course it was the insomnia session!).

Q. What if I stay completely aware during the hypnosis session?

The hypnosis sessions on these CDs are pretty light, meaning that it is not like the movies. You're not going to become a zombie.

Some people experience the sessions in the way you would experience a great work of fiction. You are totally absorbed, but are aware of the outside world.

Other people (usually if they are tired or really need the relaxation) get so absorbed that they do not remember listening to the session. Either way, you will get results. The results are not tied to "going under," but instead are tied to the focusing.

Q. Do you ship overseas? Do you ship to APO boxes?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our customers live outside the United States.

Overseas shipments are shipped via Global Priority Mail by the U.S. Postal Service at a flat rate of $10 (to Canada) & $12 (to all other countries).

Our prices do not include duties or value-added taxes. If assessed, these charges are the responsibility of the package recipient, who will be billed for them by the local Customs office.

Shipments to APO boxes are sent by Priority Mail using the U.S. Postal Service at a flat rate of $7.

NOTE: We cannot track shipments sent via the U.S. Postal Service and cannot guarantee delivery times.

Q. Do you sell downloads as well as CDs?

Not yet, but that's coming soon! If you would prefer a download, let us know through our question form. We are currently assessing the demand.

Q. What if it doesn't work? Do I have to try the product for a year before returning it?

No. If you purchase a Hypnosis Network program directly from us, you can return the program at any time within a period of one year for a full refund of the purchase price.

Most people know within about 2 months whether a program will be effective or not, but we like to give you plenty of time so you do not feel rushed.
