Losing the ability to achieve an erection can be scary, but losing an erection and not knowing why you lost it in the first place makes things even worse. When you suddenly find yourself unable to rise to the occasion, it’s inevitable that a million questions will cross your mind, but the most important is definitely “Why?”
Do you have a heart issue you didn’t know about? Is stress from work affecting your ability to perform? Do you have blocked arteries? Are you depressed?
There are plenty of potential causes for erectile dysfunction, and it can be downright infuriating not knowing which is to blame. Thankfully, there is an easy, foolproof way to determine if your erectile dysfunction is mental or physical in nature.
When a man sleeps, he achieves at least one erection. It’s just a biological quirk men have, but you can count on the fact that a night won’t pass without at least one erection. Thus, if you can’t achieve an erection while you’re conscious, you need to see if you can achieve one while you’re unconscious.
This can be accomplished by purchasing a roll of stamps. Affix a ring of stamps around the base of your penis, making sure that the ring is completely unbroken. Once you have set up this ring, it’s time to go to sleep.
When you wake up in the morning, check the ring. If it’s broken, that means you achieved an erection, which indicates your ED is caused by a mental issue. But if it remains unbroken, this indicates your issue is physical in nature.
After conducting this test, you’ll know what is causing your ED, and you can then work towards beating it and regaining your erection.
