A Lesson Learned Late: After More Than a Half Century, He’s Discovered the Pleasures of Swinging and Perils of Erectile Dysfunction

After the death of his wife, he doubted his love life would ever re-ignite. But it did just that when he met his current girlfriend. This woman has introduced him to the intoxicating world of swinging, and he’s been caught up in that and their blossoming sex life for the last year. Such excitement, however, has proven too much for him, and he’s been unable to achieve an erection for two weeks.
Case #: 2063
Concern：
I’ve been dating the same woman for about a year, and what a year it’s been! I was married more than 20 years, and when my wife died at age 47, I didn’t know if I’d ever meet anyone. Well, I did, and she’s a pistol. She introduced me to the life of swinging. I wasn’t sure at first, but I’m hooked now. We spend our weekends at parties that last two or three days, and our sex life together is mind-blowing. I had no idea life can be so exciting.
Discussion：
However, I’m worried it may be time to give up the free-wheeling lifestyle – after all, I’m 53 years old. I feel this way because for the last two weeks, I haven’t been able to get an erection. I’ve tried, believe me, my girlfriend and I both have tried. But I just can’t. I’m always cautious about protection when I have sex with other people, so I don’t think I’ve caught anything. Do you have some suggestions?
You’re right – a different lifestyle can be exciting. Swinging even has some alleged benefits: it strengthens relationships, spices up sex and increases libido. Sometimes swinging saves a marriage on the brink of boredom.
But for a person accustomed to one way of living, changing to another can be intoxicating. So much so that it consumes you. This is when sexual exhaustion sets in and erectile dysfunction becomes the norm.
Running on Empty
Can a person really become sexually exhausted? Let’s answer this by providing another example. When an athlete participates in a competitive event, he or she gets tired and needs rest. Overnight sleep is generally enough to recover for the next event, scheduled several days or a week later.
Now, imagine what would happen if that athlete competed every night for a year. We’re not talking about practice, but a full-out event in which he or she must give 100 percent. That person would become exhausted and falter before the year-end.
The only difference with sex is that you don’t compete – but you must exert yourself to achieve the sensations you want. If you don’t believe us, consider the changes your body undergoes before, during and after sex. The increased heart rate, rapid breathing and sheen of sweat, followed by fuzziness, fatigue and need for rest.
In addition to physical changes, sex also involves chemical secretions that help get you to orgasm. Testosterone increases, endorphins build and adrenaline peaks. Orgasm brings the release of more chemicals that provide sex’s unique euphoria: dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and prolactin, to name a few. Each serves a distinct purpose in the body, so don’t think they’re produced haphazardly. But it is their repeated production that encourages sexual exhaustion.
When You’ve Had Enough
To understand sexual exhaustion, you must be familiar with the neuroendocrine system. This group of nerves, cells, glands, and organs regulates body functions and produces hormones. Without getting too technical, you should understand this system plays a role in such crucial activities as digestion and reproduction.
Constantly producing and secreting all the hormones and neurotransmitters involved with sex taxes the neuroendocrine system. In response, it begins to operate at slower and less efficient levels until certain functions stop altogether. Achieving an erection, for instance, becomes increasingly difficult until erectile dysfunction (ED) sets in.
In addition to fatiguing the body, constant sex imbalances hormones. Remember the testosterone we mentioned earlier? Its proper ratio is essential to sexual arousal and erections. The trouble is this, like all chemicals in the body, is susceptible to fluctuations caused by excess levels of other chemicals. Adrenaline, for example, suppresses testosterone. Because it’s released each time you have sex, you can believe too much greatly contributes to ED.
Therapy for Your Body
Many factors must be in place for a man to achieve an erection. That’s why a remedy for ED must address a series of events in the body rather than just one. Curculigo, a plant grown in some islands of the North Pacific, works on multiple levels when ingested as an herbal remedy. (TRY: Impotence Reversal with Curculigo) It can rejuvenate damaged blood vessels, balance hormones and improve blood flow to the penis. Without the side effects of harsh pharmaceuticals, it can correct the effects of ED.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) often uses herbs to treat the body’s ailments. Curculigo has long been employed as an aphrodisiac. This is great news for you because it means an herbal remedy made with Curculigo will not only strengthen erections, but also improve desire so your orgasms rock you from head to toe.
