Safe Sex with Erectile Dysfunction

Dealing with safe sex with erectile dysfunction puts major anxiety on your sex life. When men have to face the difficulties sustaining and maintaining an erection, safe sex can take the backburner.

Any age, Any Time

Regardless of age, you can contract sexually transmitted diseases and infections (STDs, STIs). Whether your 20 or 60, men and women can be infected with STDs such as gonorrhea, herpes, syphilis, genital warts or herpes, and HIV/AIDS. We often associate STDs with young, careless behavior, however, older men who take medication for erectile function are likely to participate in sexually risky behavior. Thus, regardless of age, it is paramount to practice safe sex.

Condoms

Condoms are a guaranteed way of avoiding sexually transmitted diseases. Because you need a full erection to put on a condom, men who have erectile dysfunction must be prepared in order to not lose their erection in order to use condoms. No one wants to spoil the mood by scrambling to put on a condom.
