Every man prides himself to be a tiger in bed. Having great sex and being able to satisfy women ranks highest in an average man’s desires. What allows a man to be a tiger in bed is skill, stamina, desire, a toned body and above all, a very strong libido. There is a famous quote, which every man dreads to hear; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Every man wants to be able to have sex at any time, without any preparation and at any spontaneous opportunity. This might have been possible when the man was young, and had the stamina of a stallion, but with age comes in a drop in sex drive. The libido slowly starts to go easy. And with the passing of time, the onset of the dreaded condition known as male impotence sets in. It is not an easy condition to deal with. It is unlike other medical conditions where a person can learn to adjust with the condition and continue to live with the help and support of medicines. Impotence completely destroys the man, shattering his sense of worth and his self-confidence.

It is very difficult for a man with a declining libido to deal with a woman. He becomes unsure of how to communicate his problem. In most cases, it is difficult for him to understand and accept the problem. He sees a declining libido as a sign of impotence and a sign of his loss of manhood. All men equate their erections to signs of their manhood.

Understanding libido is important. Libido is what provides the man his sex drive, his need and want to have sex. He gets his feelings of lust and desire from his libido. Teenagers have raging and rampant libidos, unleashed at the drop of a hat. With time, these feelings sometimes start to recede, as other things in life start to take priority.

There is a difference between a low libido and impotence. A low libido is when the man starts to lose his desire to have sex. It can be a confusing and disconcerting time in his life. For many years the man has been chasing every possible chance to have sex, and now suddenly he finds he is losing interest in it. The sex drive starts to ebb.

Impotence is the condition where the man ;

• Cannot get an erection
• Cannot get a full and complete erection
• Cannot get an erection for a sustained period of time

In the case of impotence, there is something physically wrong with his sex organs. With a declining libido, the cause could be a physical injury or wound, or an emotional and psychological reaction to external forces.

The woman in the man’s life needs to understand that this condition does not mean it is a rejection of her. It is very easy to get into a frame of mind where the woman starts to blame her own self for not being able to turn on her man. She needs to realize this is a condition where the man needs help and support.
