That time has gone when problems in the bedroom stayed in the bedroom. Today, men have come out with their sexual difficulties in the open, thanks to drug commercials, expert endorsements, and advances in treatment. Erectile dysfunction is no longer a hush-hush topic, which is why many men who seek treatment are returning to normal sexual activity. But while exercise, weight loss and quitting substance abuse can gradually show results, researchers have come up with fixes that will lead to boners on demand.

1 Botox

Pros

In this method, botox also known as botulinum toxin type A is injected into the penis. The toxin works by paralysing the smooth muscles inside the penis, which, in turn, stimulates the blood flow leading to a boner.

Cons

Botox can have immediate results and last for a few months but there is a catch. You have to go through the procedure four to five times a year, so it can get really heavy on your pockets. Erectile Dysfunction Causes and Cure: Here's What You Can do About Lack of Sexual Desires.

2 Stem-Cell Therapy

Pros

In this method, stem cells are extracted from various parts of your body and injected directly into your penis. The stem-cell therapy has shown promising results with tough penis for penetrative sex.

Cons

There are not too many researchers yet which suggest that stem cell therapy can be used to treat erectile dysfunction in the long term.  Moreover, the method can be extremely tricky and you may end up with a disoriented penis.

3 Shock-Wave Therapy

Pros

Shock-wave therapy is a novel method where sound waves are shot through erectile tissue. This clears plaque from blood vessels and may promote the growth of new blood vessels, thus helping in a boner.

Cons

This treatment has not shown a great success rate. Even if you go to an expert clinic with legit devices, you still might need other therapies to achieve functional hardness. Erectile Dysfunction and Morning Wood – What’s The Connection? Men Need To Know THIS About Their Sexual Health.

4 Nitroglycerin Gel

Pros

This is one of the simplest treatment methods where gel containing nitroglycerin, is applied topically on the penis. The gel gives a dose of nitric oxide, which causes the muscles of the penis to relax and become erect.

Cons

One side effect of nitroglycerin gel is that it makes you dizzy and sleepy. It makes your blood vessels dilate which in turn can drop your blood pressure and make you feel dizzy. So while you may get an erection from the gel, you may tend to lose your consciousness and faint.
