  • Intimacy Without An Erection? What You Need To Know

    Intimacy Without An Erection? What You Need To Know

    Intimacy Without An Erection

    Physical pleasure, feel-good hormones, increased closeness – there are so many reasons people crave a healthy sex life. While busy lives can get in the way of regular intimacy, most Canadians are able to find the time and energy to do it on a regular basis. But what if a couple is facing other barriers in the bedroom?

    Yes, we’re talking about erectile dysfunction. If you’re a Canadian man over 50, there’s a 50% chance you will deal with this at some level in your lifetime. While there are definitely medical ways to alleviate these challenges, it’s a good idea to consider a partner’s needs and feelings.

    There are many ways you can manage intimacy without an erection while working towards a treatment plan. Good old fashioned communication and a basic understanding of the research around sexuality can help ensure a partner’s needs are met even when things aren’t working 100%. Here are the two main things your partner could be missing if you have erectile dysfunction, and how you can help fulfill their needs.

    Common Problem #1: A partner is missing the emotional closeness of sex.

    Most people know that sex releases the feel-good hormone oxytocin, but they may not know just how vital those can be to building a bond between two people. Oxytocin has serious bonding power, so it’s no surprise that couples with higher levels of the hormone tend to have longer, happier relationships.

    Besides missing out on the hormones, partners can feel emotional distance when a partner with ED refuses to communicate about the issue. If you allow a once healthy sex life to fizzle with no explanation, you could be causing unnecessary stress and damage to your relationship. There’s absolutely no reason to be ashamed of a treatable medical condition shared by a large percentage of the population.

    Here’s the good news: A long hug can release the exact same hormones as sex, especially if skin-to-skin contact is on the menu. Combine the cuddling with an honest conversation and some ED treatment, and you could be on your way to a healthier relationship.

    Common Problem #2: A partner is missing the pleasure of sex.

    There’s obviously more than one way to give a partner pleasure in the bedroom, but it isn’t always easy to adjust to a sex life without intercourse.

    It may be worthwhile to see a sex therapist to open a dialog about what alternatives make the most sense in your relationship. What feels the best for your partner? Is it important to them that you also enjoy yourself? What are their needs, exactly? Solutions can range from adult toys to tips on manual stimulation, but it all starts with a conversation.

    The best thing for you and your partner is information

    If your partner is distressed at your erectile dysfunction, it usually means that they value your intimate relationship. They may also be concerned that they are to blame for your lack of interest in the bedroom. This can come out in negative ways, such as withdrawing, frustration, anger or self-blame.

    Many men want their partners to be supportive when they are dealing with ED, but let’s be honest – it’s easier to be supportive when you know what exactly you’re supporting.

    You should talk to a specialist as soon as you start experiencing symptoms of ED. This will frame the issue medically, helping to remove stigma or shame and move towards real solutions. Show that you care about the intimacy you share with your partner, but don’t apologize for your medical condition – recognize it, address it, and treat it.

    If you live in the Toronto or Vancouver area, our doctors at FullMast Men’s Health Clinic are here to help. For your free, confidential consultation, call us at 1-844-500-1177 or schedule an appointment online today.

  • “More Sex!” It’s What Doctors Should Prescribe

    “More Sex!” It’s What Doctors Should Prescribe

    More Sex

    Science Shows that Sex is Healthy for Him AND Her

    A study published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology in 2018 found that women who had active sex lives were less likely to develop heart disease than those who were less sexually active. Additionally, a study published in the American Journal of Cardiology in 2015 showed that women who had regular sex were less likely to develop hypertension and metabolic syndrome. Another study published in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology in 2012 found that sexual activity was associated with higher levels of estrogen, which can improve bone health and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

    And a recent large scale study of people over 40 years of age conducted in Japan showed that all-cause mortality and cancer mortality were significantly elevated among men who lacked sexual interest.

    When we visit the doctor, we often hear a lot more about the drawbacks than the health benefits of sex.

    Danish doctor and professor of sexology, Christian Graugaard, says that patients and doctors alike have it all wrong. He makes the case for the health benefits of sex and sexual health, advocating for doctors to spend more time considering the sex lives of their patients. For many adults, especially those in their later years, sexual well-being is important every aspect of an individual’s health.

    Loving sex is good for the head and the heart

    There are several reasons that partnered sex for older couples are beneficial for heart health.

    First, sexual activity is a form of exercise. During sexual intercourse as well as foreplay, both men and women experience stretching of muscles and tendons, flexion of joints, and hormone fluctuation which promotes cardiovascular fitness.

    Second, the intimacy built into a sexual relationship is a source of emotional and social support, which is a key component that defines life context and in turn shapes health.

    Third, partnered sexuality and satisfaction with it reduces exposure to stress, modify response to stress, and promote recovery from stress, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

    Dr. Graugaard quotes the World Health Organization (WHO) in his definition of sexual health. They say that sexual health as “a state of physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being related to sexuality.” This definition suggests that sexuality “is closely linked to personal integrity, identity, body image, bonding, and social curiosity.”

    In January 2023 the results of a large scale study were published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine that showed that men with ED who used PDE-5i pills had fewer heart problems and live longer than non-users. And, the study found, the more of these pills men take the longer they live. The reason is likely that users benefit from regular sex in a positive feedback loop.

    Yes – that’s a lot of key factors in a person’s well being. Sexual health affects us mentally, emotionally, culturally, and (of course) physically. With so many important components, it is no wonder Dr. Graugaard is urging doctors to speak with their patients about this issue!

    Why is sexual health so critical for maturing adults?

    Sexual health is important for adults, but those dealing with other health issues should be particularly aware of this issue. According to Dr. Graugaard, a healthy sex life is proven to aid in the treatment and morale of chronically or critically ill patients.

    There are a few reasons for this. Firstly, sexual encounters can be a “refuge” from the stress of illness. Close physical relationships can also add meaningfulness to the life of patients who are otherwise suffering.

    His statements are backed by recent studies: In Italy, it was discovered that men with type 2 diabetes who had frequent sexual problems suffered more illness-related distress that their sexually healthy counterparts. According to Dr. Graugaard, “a fulfilling sexual life might reduce morbidity and perhaps even mortality of patients. Sadly, nearly two-thirds of the aforementioned diabetes patients reported that sexuality had not been addressed by any doctor within the past year.”

    Is the quality of sex important for health?

    Yes, particularly for women.

    Clinical studies show that multiple domains of relationship quality have stronger effects on women’s health—including immune system and cardiovascular function—than on men’s and that sexual quality is more important for women’s happiness and life satisfaction than for men’s.

    Sexual health is no small matter

    At FullMast, we wholeheartedly agree that sexual health is no small matter.

    In Dr. Graugaard’s article, he cites a population study from Holland which showed that 90% of 16 to 95 year olds considered their sex life important, very important, or extremely important. Undoubtedly, men and women in Canada have similar feelings about intimacy in their own lives. But what can they do if physiological barriers stand in the way?

    For men facing issues related to erectile dysfunction who want to enjoy the many health benefits of sex, we are here to help.

  • How Does SONICWAVE™ Treat Erectile Dysfunction?

    How Does SONICWAVE™ Treat Erectile Dysfunction?

    SONICWAVE™ Treatment

    At FullMast Men’s Health Clinic, we know erectile dysfunction is a big deal.

    It’s a big deal in our communities, where half of all men over the age of fifty face erectile concerns. It’s a major issue in the bedrooms of our patients, in budding romances, and in otherwise happy marriages. It can signal life-threatening medical conditions or long-term sexual health issues.

    Despite the seriousness and widespread nature of this concern, many men are unaware of the medically sound, long-term solutions available for erectile dysfunction. They believe that injections, pills, and implants are their only option. They look for ways to temporarily treat the symptoms associated with ED rather than addressing the real causes behind their condition.

    For a long time, these treatments were the only ones available. But conclusive research has given some Canadian men another safe, effective treatment option: SONICWAVE™ therapy.

    Some people come to our clinic seeking this option; others have never heard of it and are full of questions. This article seeks to clarify SONICWAVE™ therapy and how it is used in Canadian erectile dysfunction clinics.

    How does SONICWAVE™ therapy work?

    SONICWAVE™SONICWAVE™ seeks to restructure the tissues inside the penis with high-frequency vibrations and low-intensity “shock wave therapy.” Rather than temporarily addressing symptomatic issues, this treats the penis directly.

    The use of shock waves to induce changes and regeneration is nothing new. Doctors frequently use this technology to treat chronic wounds, cardiac disease, and other issues related to circulation and damaged tissue. The waves of energy used in treating erectile dysfunction are extremely low intensity compared to other uses of this technology, so the term “SONICWAVE™” is used instead of “shock wave” therapy in this case.

    Is SONICWAVE™ therapy safe?

    This is a great question! It’s important to know all the possible risks before undergoing any treatment.

    One of the main benefits of SONICWAVE™ therapy is that, unlike drug-based options, it lacks side effects. For some patients, PDE5 inhibitors (like Cialis or Viagra) can lead to headaches, a stuffy nose, or gastrointestinal issues. Additionally, research shows that these pills do not work for up to 35% of patients and that 70% of patients do not continue renewing their prescription by the 6-12 month mark. While they may be an important part of a multimodal treatment plan, for many men pills and injections are far from an “easy fix.”

    Because SONICWAVE™ therapy is a non-drug option, side effects like this do not arise. This therapy is also non-surgical, making it safer than implants. Doctors use extremely low waves of energy as dictated by peer-reviewed research, ensuring that the treatment is safe and noninvasive.

    Shock wave therapy is currently approved in over 20 countries. It is used in hundreds of clinics worldwide, including FullMast Men’s Health Clinic in Toronto and Vancouver.

    To learn more about the approval of this treatment, you can read the 19 studies involving shock waves registered here. A detailed description of two major studies centring on the use of this technology for ED can also be found here.

    Does SONICWAVE™ therapy really “fix” erectile dysfunction?

    SONICWAVE™ treatment on penis
    SONICWAVE™ therapy physically jolts the cells of the penis stimulating the growth of blood vessels and nerves.

    As with any treatment, the answer to this question comes down to the individual. Certain factors, such as pre-existing medical conditions, can influence the level and duration of success. At FullMast, our doctors do a full evaluation to determine if a patient is a candidate for SONICWAVE™ and customize a treatment plan based on medical research and patient history.

    This treatment is often pursued by men seeking long-term recovery instead of brief “fixes” for individual sexual encounters. That said, a doctor may recommend that you take PDE5 inhibitors alongside SONICWAVE™ as part of your treatment plan Paying close attention to an individual’s unique situation and employing a multimodal treatment plan is the key to successful ED treatment.
