A severe emotional shock causes a number of psychological and organic prerequisites for reducing potency. Under the influence of constant stress, a man can completely lose his adequate erection.
Severe stress can cause the following undesirable changes:
The impact of a stressful situation causes a negative impact on the mental state of the patient:
A man who remains in an unusual stressful situation for a long time will experience a decrease in sexual desire and a temporary loss of erectile function. In some cases, there is a lack of orgasm and ejaculation during sexual intercourse.
Cortical impotence with a decrease in sexual desire for the sexual partner manifests with varying degrees of intensity. Some men completely lose the desire to have sex and lose sensitivity to sexual stimulation. The excitability of the reproductive system decreases.
The onset of a depressed state due to the experienced stress leads to a pathological inhibition of cortical sexual superstructures. The condition can be complicated:
The inability to achieve a full erection and perform sexual intercourse is also a common consequence of the stress condition. Usually, the complete or partial impotence is associated with the emerging psychological block.
If a person does not associate life circumstances with traumatic psycho-emotional experiences, he acquires the ability to experience a normal erection, which ends with ejaculation and orgasm. Often, men with sexual dysfunction retain the possibility of spontaneous night erections that occur during a period of reduced self-control.

Significant role in the formation of psychogenic erectile dysfunction is played by the use of sedative medications and antidepressants, potent psychotropic substances, alcoholic beverages and narcotic drugs.
