A lot of fuss was created recently about scientists working on a new treatment for Erectile Dysfunction. The problem is that current treatments are orally administered, thus can take several hours to come into effect – and the effects can last for a long time as the drug is filtered in your body.
All of this seems to be putting aside the pre-Viagra findings of Masters & Johnson, whose clinic had amazing success in treating erection problems by encouraging communication and non-penetrative sex. Imagine that: when men feel less pressure to perform, and the sexual act isn’t dependent upon the hardness of his penis, he can relax, enjoy, and – what do you know – get hard. Their patients reported sex that was sexier, using different methods and talking about it more (not to mention that it was also safer).
