From the Paper
"Erectile dysfunction is commonly labeled as an age related condition in males. The disorder affects a man's ability to achieve or maintain an erection at least 25% of his attempts. Until recently men and their physicians did not discuss problems such as Erectile Dysfunction as openly as they do today. Men often experience embarrassment and a loss of confidence when struggling with ED. This emotional stress can lead to prolonged effects of the disorder leaving them in a cycle. Many diseases have now been linked to ED including heart disease, diabetes, and prostate cancer. Research is being done to dissect the physiological causes of ED including Nitric Oxide deficiency and poor circulation. New medications such as Sildenafil (Viagra), Vardenafil (Levitra), and Tadalafil (Cialis) have surfaced making treatment more accessible as well as more effective. Research and surveys are being done on chemical treatments, increased education, and the effects of new medications. Other interventions are used such as surgery and vacuum devices but the recent medications have had the most success (Well-Connected, 2002)."

Abstract
This paper explains that the inability to perform in a typical manner during sexual intimacies takes its toll on the emotional well being of any relationship and therefore on the quality of life of patients with erectile dysfunction (ED). The author points out that there are now many treatment options, including medications such as sildenafil (Viagra), which have shown promise of improving the lives of many, but not all, people suffering from ED. The paper states that the proposed research will compare, using both quantitative and qualitative data, three non-invasive treatment options: medication, individual therapy and relationship counseling.

"The high rates of probability for partial or complete ED is demonstrative of the need to analyze the problem in a comprehensive manner, especially considering that there are likely many individuals in the population who are excluded for medical reasons from taking oral medications to help resolve or treat the problem of ED as it is also often likely to be associated with medical care for other, more life threatening diseases. ED can be caused by medications used to treat high blood pressure and other high risk medical diagnoses as well as by chronic medical conditions such as diabetes."

From the Paper
"Erectile dysfunction not only affects the physical aspect of relationships, but also impacts the emotional side of relationships. Erectile dysfunction affects an estimated 10 to 20 million men in America. This number may be under-reported because of the possibility that some men may not tell their physician or seek treatment for the problem out of embarrassment or other reasons (Andolsek, 1997).
Erectile dysfunction affects sexual performance as well as self-esteem for the men who have it. "

From the Paper
"Erectile dysfunction is a problem that greatly affects men and their sexual performance. In fact, 34% of American men aged 51 to 88 experience severe erectile dysfunction and 52% of all men aged 40 to 70 experienced some degree of impotence. These numbers account for 16% of the general male population, estimating that 1 in 5 men will experience sexual dysfunction in their lifetimes, Handy. Erectile dysfunction occurs when there are erection problems, medical causes, or physiological factors associated with sexual intimacy. However, over the past several years, many pharmaceutical companies have developed both chemical products and non-chemical solutions to help fight this problem."

Abstract
This paper explains that, decades ago, erectile dysfunction was a condition only whispered about; today, however, it has become a household word due to public awareness campaigns and media advertisements of both prescription and over-the-counter drugs. It looks at the number of drugs available for treating erectile dysfunction, including Viagra, MUSE, Caverject, Edex, Yohimbine, Cialis, Uprima, and Levitra; several devices, such as vacuum erection devices and the Actis venous flow controller device; and mixtures of injectable medications, such as prostaglandin E1, papaverine, and phentolamine.

From the Paper
"Uprimal is a sublingual dopaminergic agonist that acts in the central nervous system within ten to twenty-five minutes with peak serum level of forty-four minutes and a serum half-life of approximately two and a half hours (Gaines 2003). The dosage is 2 to 4 mg in tablet form and can be repeated every eight hours (Gaines 2003). This drug was effective in clinical trials in men with moderate to severe ED, many of whom had multiple medical problems, and was generally tolerated, with mild nausea being the most common but infrequent side effect (Gaines 2003). Syncope was rarely reported and there have been no reports of cardiac death (Gaines 2003)."

Some of these disorder include; depression, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Is a psychological disorder is in question, the counselor should evaluate the client, and utilize assessment testing like the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) to determine if there is any psychological disorder present.

"In 2005,it was reported that automakers are now developing marketing strategies to reach gay consumers, a large, often affluent and trend-setting demographic (LaReau 2005). According to General Motors market research data, gay Americans each have an average household income of nearly $65,000, compared to $45,000 of all U.S. households (LaReau 2005). In fact, during the past decade, gay television commercials have been popping up more and more on the airwaves (Is 2000). For example the Volkswagen ad that portrayed two trendy young males stopping curbside to pick up a discarded "kitschy old armchair," or the John Hancock Insurance commercial that featured a female couple adopting a baby (Is 2000)."

Abstract
This paper examines the question of what forms gender and sexuality take in America, based on four articles. The paper discusses female circumcision and castration in the late nineteenth century, the impact of language around impotence and erectile dysfunction on male sexuality. The paper looks at gender construction, male sexuality in general and also examines gay rights under Bush Sr.'s administration.

From the Paper
"It is very clear from various readings that gender and gendered sexuality have a lot more to do with the medical and political agenda than one might initially think. According to various sources, these constructs are often created by the medical profession, which is rooted in the conservative aspect of American culture. This is reflected in articles about the Bush Sr. administration's attitude towards gay rights and AIDS activism, the quest for a perfect penis and the alleged importance of a perfectly hard man as well as the literature regarding 19th century sexual surgery on women. Evidence from these articles, and others, suggests that wealthy white men have manipulated ideas of gender and sexuality for their own interests by using the medical and political arenas."
