Erectile dysfunction in newlyweds: a nightmare that can strike during the honeymoon

Erectile dysfunction in newly married men

 Impotence in a newlywed man is an issue that causes concern, as some males feel intense distress during their first nights of marriage and are surprised to find they lose their erection capability during marital relations. This is a nightmare that knocks on the doors of some men on their honeymoon. Therefore, we decided to explain the most prominent causes of erectile dysfunction for the recently married, and we also clarify the most common available treatment methods to resolve this bothersome problem.

Between the wedding night and the honeymoon... here the trouble begins

Urology and infertility doctors confirm that erectile dysfunction for the newly wed is a very widespread problem. Some men lose the ability to achieve an erection during the first two weeks of marriage, and the issue may persist with them until the honeymoon. Erectile dysfunction means the inability to maintain an erect penis during marital relations, which prevents penetration and the completion of the marital act. The question remains now: What is the reason behind erectile dysfunction in newly married men? Here is the detailed answer in light of the following paragraph.

Causes of Erectile Dysfunction for the Newly Married

You might be slightly astonished when you hear that some men and young people suffer from erectile dysfunction during their first wedding nights and the honeymoon, asking yourself: "Why do men and young men get this issue while they are still young?" Erectile dysfunction in the newly married appears due to one of the following two reasons:

Anxiety and Stress... Psychological Factors

The primary reason behind erectile dysfunction in the newly married—in most instances—is psychological factors, such as anxiety and stress.

The newly married man (the groom) might worry and think a lot... How will my sexual performance be? Will I be able to have marital intercourse efficiently? Will my wife be satisfied with my performance? etc., with similar questions.

Dear reader, the mind is the maestro that governs all actions, so the preoccupation of the newly married man's mind with such inquiries creates significant psychological pressure, which negatively affects the brain and disturbs the mind's tranquility. The man thus loses his ability to achieve an erection early before penetration occurs.

In addition to the above, the man becomes frustrated and suffers from psychological impotence due to the following:

First, hearing some advice from friends and yielding to mistaken beliefs. Additionally, watching pornographic films that include some exaggerations about marital relations, the man is surprised by the opposite of these expectations when having marital relations in reality, and in the end, he becomes disheartened.

Organic Diseases

Erectile dysfunction in the newly married may appear due to some organic diseases, such as:

Including having diabetes.

Or issues with nerves or blood vessels.

In addition to hormonal disruptions.

Cases of organic erectile dysfunction require treatment under the supervision of a specialized doctor in andrology and infertility.

Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction in the Newly Married

The treatment for erectile dysfunction in the newly married depends on identifying the main reason behind the problem itself, as follows:

First, Psychological Erectile Dysfunction

The treatment for psychological erectile dysfunction is through sex education sessions or psychotherapy via marital counseling with specialists to guide both spouses on the correct way to handle the issue.

Second, Organic Erectile Dysfunction

There are many ways to treat organic erectile dysfunction, and the specialized doctor chooses from these methods depending on the type of disease itself. Generally, methods for treating organic erectile dysfunction include:

First, oral medication, such as: Sildenafil.

Then, local injection into the penis.

Or implanting prostheses in the penis.

Studies and Statistics on Sexual Dysfunction During the Honeymoon

Based on a scientific study published on the "PubMed" website, a clinical trial was conducted on 100 men suffering from erectile dysfunction at the beginning of their marriage. They underwent some examinations, and their penile erection efficiency was monitored.

Also, upon reviewing the examination results, each subject received appropriate treatment, either by using medication, such as Sildenafil, or by using medication along with psychotherapy and sex education. Other cases were treated with local injection into the penis or by penis pumps.

Here are the results:

The study's outcome indicated the following:

Approximately 74 men suffered from psychological erectile dysfunction (meaning 74%, which is the largest percentage, confirming that the common cause of erectile dysfunction in the newly married lies in psychological factors).

About 26 men suffered from erectile dysfunction due to organic vascular problems.

Prevention Methods for Erectile Dysfunction in the Newly Married

And for every man soon to be married... here are some tips that help prevent erectile dysfunction during the first days of marriage:

For instance, avoid overthinking what will happen during marital relations, as this disturbs the mind and negatively affects sexual performance.

Then, stay away from psychological pressures and sources of tension and anxiety.

We advise you to undergo some examinations and tests with an andrology and infertility doctor before marriage to ensure there are no organic problems.

After that, avoid following friends' advice and do not try to imitate any pornographic films. It is better to consult the specialized doctor to get correct sexual education.

Is the Wife a Cause of Erectile Dysfunction?

The wife may be an indirect cause of erectile dysfunction. She might affect the husband's erectile dysfunction in one way or another, negatively or positively, especially concerning loss of desire or even enjoying the relationship. In any case, please contact Dr. Ahmed Adel to learn the main reason behind this condition, as it might be an organic or another psychological cause.
