Step 1
Talk to your partner. This can have an affect on them, too. It is important that your partner understands that you are dealing with impotence. They can help support you and help you deal with the problem. Your partner also needs to know so that there are no misunderstandings in your relationship.

Step 2
Make an appointment with a mental health counselor or psychiatrist. Impotence could be caused by stress, anxiety, feelings of guilt, and/or fear. If one of these feelings is causing impotence, it could be cured without prescription medications. Working with a counselor can help you work through these feelings and get your sex life back.

Step 3
Experiment with your partner in the bedroom. Instead of focusing on the climax, focus on massage, touch, kissing, and just spending time with each other. Set the mood with some sweet smelling candles and light music. Kama Sutra can help you be intimate with your partner without actually having intercourse.

Step 4
Seek prescription medications if nothing else seems to work or for a temporary fix. Viagra, Cialis and Levitra can help you get and sustain an erection. Make an appointment with your doctor to discuss medications for impotence. Choose which one would be best for you.

Step 5
Have your testosterone levels checked. This is rare, but it is possible that low testosterone can cause impotence. Symptoms of low testosterone include mood swings, lack of energy, depression, and a decreased libido. If you have any of these symptoms along with impotence (or without) have your testosterone levels tested.

Step 6
Quit smoking. Smoking can constrict blood vessels, which can make getting blood down there more difficult. Smoking puts you at risk for atherosclerosis, which can cause impotence. Quit smoking now to reduce your risk and regain normal erections.
