Are there any herbal medicines to take that treat sexual dysfunction caused by psychological/emotional stress?

---

I am talking about sexual dysfunction, impotency, etc., whatever you want to call it caused by no physical reason.
If pyschological and/or emotional stress is the cause and there is no underlying physical cause(s) then I suggest trying Passiflora incarnata (passionflower) and avena sativa (oat straw) extracts in the form of a tincture. You can get one already combined...Bioforce:

Both have anti-anxiety and anti-stress properties and both can act as libido stimulants. Drink also small amounts of Lemon balm tea to boost the effects of the other two.

Another herb worth trying particularly where there has been long-term anxiety and stress of any sort is Rhodiola rosacea.

All can be purchased from larger health shops such as Holland and Barrett in the UK or the GNC stores in the US..

You must talk to a medical doctor or pharmacist first if on prescribed medication before taking any herbal supplements because of the risk for herb-drug interactions. Should not be a problem with Rhodiola rosacea but get further info regarding the other herbs in combination with any drugs you may take if you do so. You cannot ordinarily take anti-anxiety herbs with anti-anxiety drugs either. Accupuncture could be an alternative or additional avenue to explore.

If so, did it work for you? Also, I'm uninsured, how much does therapy like this cost?
It saved my life.

I too was uninsured. It cost me about 200 a session in the NYC area.

I wish you the best. I'm sure youll get better!!!!  (+ info)

Adults only please - why do I have this weird sexual and psychological issue?

---

Anyway, here is the psychological issue I am being faced with: I am currently having sexual fantasies about the idea of my having sex with albinistic women. Why I'm having these desires is a mystery to me, but the fact that I have these desires is making me feel somewhat uncomfortable and guilty about it. Can anyone help me with this rather unenviable predicament?
Moreover, if I cannot destroy the desire and indulging the desire is difficult, how should I learn to accept it?
People have fantasties about certain people with certain looks. I see nothing wrong with it. What's wrong with albino women that you feel so embarrissed about? All white people lack a certain amount of pigmentation otherwise we woudl all be black. Albinos just lack all of it.

I don't think you are weird and I certainly don't think you need to be embarrissed about it. Your fantasies will change as long as you accept the idea that there's nothing wrong with it. If you keep worrying about it you won't ever be able to stop thinking about it. Just accept it, go with it and eventually it will change.  (+ info)

what are some of the sexual dysfunctions you experience when you are an alcoholic?

---

pleassee i need to kno.

for a project.. i want to include it on my poster.
ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION AND ALCOHOL

Alcohol may also cause sexual dysfunction, preventing men from achieving an erection and enjoying orgasm.

Numerous studies on erectile dysfunction and alcohol have indicated that alcohol abuse in men can cause impaired testosterone production and shrinkage of the testes (i.e. testicular atrophy). Those changes can result in impotence, infertility, and reduced male secondary characteristics (e.g. reduced facial and chest hair, breast enlargement, and a shift in fat deposition from the abdomen to the hip area).

When alcohol is broken down in the body, it may also interfere with normal sperm structure and movement.

Heavy drinkers may find they have fewer long term relationships, they are less able to find and maintain sexual partners, and their personal issues and problems make them less attractive in the eyes of others.

In addition, it's hard to communicate and develop a meaningful relationship with your partner, when alcohol prevents you from thinking clearly and behaving in an appropriate and thoughtful manner.

What's the most common form of abuse: sexual, psychological, physical, verbal or emotional?

I'd say verbal, but I do not think this is a really fair question as verbal encompasses psychological and emotional.  (+ info)

Im having a problem with psychological erectile dysfunction im only 21?

---

Im having a problem with erectile dysfuntion im only 21?
i have already been to the doctor, its psycological. i cannot even obtain an errection by myself. how do i fix this

it not performance anxitey im not even sexual active i cant get an errection on my own the doctor did a thourgh examination
It could be stress. my husband had the same problem at 21 when he lost his job. From what I've read on the internet it could be anything to do with stress, money problems, lack of sleep, change in diet, too much stuff going on at once, etc. I'm sure whatever it is it will go away eventually. Like I said my husband had the same thing and after he found a new job and things went back to normal the ED went away and he hasn't had any problems since. Hope you figure it out. =]  (+ info)

Is being Fetish of woman/man clothings, a sexual psychological disease? Cloths does not affect me/bad actions?

---

It is not normal, of course. Now I don't know why men do this, either a closeness to their mom's, and the are emulating them, or a female figure that brought them joy as a child. It is not healthy though, as far as I am concerned. However, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing when women put on men's cloths. It is weird though that you would get a sexual thrill from doing this. I hope you don't think you are a woman trapped in a man's body or something. It is mental illness, and you should talk to a minister, or trusted doctor friend and stop this fetish  (+ info)
