What Causes Male Sexual Dysfunction?- Erections result from a very complex combination of brain stimuli, blood vessel, nerve function, and hormonal actions. “Erection involves the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, psychological and stress-related factors, local problems with the erection bodies or penis itself as well as hormonal and vascular (blood flow or circulation) factors. The penile portion of the process leading to erections represents only a single component of a very complicated and complex process.” www.emedicinehealth.com Prescription For Nutritional Healing pg 456.
