A man in his mid-fifties is suffering from erectile dysfunction. A specialist has a suspected diagnosis – and finds a solution.
This text first appeared in January 2024.
The man in his mid-fifties had read an interview with me. In it, I had emphasized that there is a treatable explanation for almost every erectile dysfunction. He then made an appointment with me. During the consultation, he said that he had never had a proper erection and thus never had normal sexual intercourse – neither as a young man nor at any other time in his life. He had an agreement with his long-term girlfriend that he would satisfy her orally or with sex toys. And when he masturbated, he used a trick: he pressed into his perineum with one hand. Then the erection was even enough for an orgasm. Up until now, he had never spoken to a doctor about it. It was just the way it was – he didn’t know anything different.
As he spoke, a possible diagnosis immediately came to mind.
