Can Having an Affair Cause Erectile Dysfunction?
Question:
Can ED be the result of having an affair?
Answer:
Yes, It can.
Cheating involves feelings of guilt and shame. These emotions are stressful, and they can act as psychological factors for ED development.
On the hand, being cheated on can produce more negative emotions (e.g., stress, anxiety, and exhaustion) and they are all common causes of low libido. Moreover, the broken-heart syndrome can lead to heart problem and heart attacks, which all can contribute to ED development.
