I’ve heard that hypnosis works for some men whose erectile dysfunction is mostly psychologically rooted. However, before I spent any money on a hypnotherapist or undertook any self-hypnosis exercises, I’d have my doctor check me out thoroughly to rule out any physiological causes for my problems.

That said, I would think that hypnosis could be particularly helpful in reducing stress and performance anxiety, which often combine with physical factors to make it even more difficult to achieve an erection.

Self-hypnosis, combined with relaxation techniques, doesn’t really involve any trances but is rather a form of self-suggestion during which you spend 15 or 20 minutes clearing your mind of all else beside a goal you want to accomplish. Focusing on that goal to the exclusion of all other thoughts plants a seed in your subconscious mind that over time can help you to accomplish the goal.
