SUPERSTITION AND ED
The following passage on superstition and ED is taken from the best selling health book, "Sexual Impotemce In The Male," published 1n 1883, written by William A.Hammond, M.D..
The author held the position of Surgeon General U.S. Army, Professor of Diseases of the Mind and Nervous System in the New York Post Graduate Medical School, and president of the American Neurological Association.
Erectile Dysfunction and Superstition
The effect of superstition in causing impotence is even, in our times, occasionally exhibited.
In a former period this influence was more generally admitted, and it was supposed that witches and sorcerers had the power of casting a spell upon a man, and by this means to deprive him of the ability to accomplish the act of sexual intercourse.
All that was necessary was that the person upon whom they pretended to impose their spell should thoroughly believe in it, and the impotence was an accomplished fact.
Cases of the kind were a very common occurrence, so that after a while every man who found his virile powers becoming weaker laid the cause upon some old woman who had the reputation of being a sorcerer or witch.
Many of these poor wretches were burned at the stake or otherwise severely punished for this supposed crime.
The extent to which notions of this kind prevail at the present day is scarcely known among educated persons.

CASES OF SUPERSTITION AND ED
Physicians, however, often meet with cases of purely imaginary impotence, which the subject religiously believes has been produced by an enemy, by a look or incantation of some kind, or by causing him to eat some particular substance which has had the power conferred upon it of depriving him of his sexual functions.
The consequence is that, actuated by the belief which he entertains, the attempts at intercourse result in failure, and hence he ceases to make any further efforts in this direction.
Only a short time ago a man consulted me for impotence with which he believed his wife had affected him so as to keep him continent during a visit he was about to make to New York.
She had, he said, given him a singular glance as he left the house. He felt a peculiar thrill pass down his spine to his testicles, and after that, erection was impossible.

In another case concerning superstition and ED, a man from Long Island came to see me, bringing a lock of the hair of a woman who, he believed, had "laid a spell" on him by which he was rendered impotent.
The woman in question, he explained, had wished him to marry her. He, however, had fixed his affections on another woman, and had married her, whereupon the first, out of revenge, had caused the loss of his sexual power.
The event had taken place on the fifth night after marriage. Up to that time he had done his part to her entire satisfaction, but on the fifth night, the disappointed woman, concealing her jealousy, had invited him and his bride to take tea with her, and on their return home he found himself in the condition mentioned.
He had been told that I could cure him by treating a lock of the hair of the witch, and with much trouble he had succeeded in procuring this, in his opinion, indispensable prerequisite to cure, and had brought it to me.
Such cases, unless the patient can bring to bear a little common sense on the subject, are apt to pass on into a hypochondriacal condition, in which the whole attention of the individual is concentrated upon his generative organs.
He examines them many times a day, measures them and is constantly applying lotions and running from one physician to the other with stories of their deficient power, the shrinkage of his penis, the gradual disappearence of his testicles, etc., etc.
Such cases are extremely difficult of cure, the delusions becoming more and more strongly fixed, and very often extending in other directions.
They constitute one of the most obstinate forms of insanity with which we have to deal.
