BPD and impotence

[Think About It...]

 20 years ago it was thought that 90% of time, impotence was caused by psychological problems.  That what I was taught in medical school.
So I used to encourage people and refer them to therapists to work on their problem.  We gave herbs and pseudomedicines and encouragement.  Lots of reassurance.
It didn't work, and the distress was real.
Then medical treatment was discovered by accident.   Hmmm mm.  Now psychological causes of impotence represent only 1-2% of cases.  Treating it now is as easy as treating nearsightedness that most people develop around age 50.  The emotional support is largely unnecessary.
Where we were then with impotence is where we are now with BPD.  We can all learn strategies to get stronger, but the physiologic issues are just as fundamental and pervasive as they are with impotence.  We need an emotional type Viagra and a lot of public awareness.  Maybe someday I'll see such a medicine or discovery advertised behind home plate at the World Series.  Yea.  That'll be a great day.
Until then, I'll be here.
