The Keep It Hard program combines proven science with practical solutions from our experts to address erectile dysfunction. It is based on extensive research and numerous studies to ensure you get the most effective and reliable treatment available.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a complex condition that can arise from a multitude of factors, including physiological, psychological, and lifestyle influences.
Among others, weakened pelvic floor muscles are the most common issue.
Strengthening these muscles through targeted exercises, such as Kegels, which you will learn while completing the program, can improve erectile function by enhancing the muscle's ability to control blood flow and maintain penile rigidity.
Studies and evidence:
Randomized Controlled Trials:
A study demonstrated significant improvements in erectile function in men who performed pelvic floor muscle exercises. These exercises were found to be more effective when combined with lifestyle changes [Grace Dorey et al., 2004​].
Systematic Reviews:
A systematic review of multiple studies concluded that pelvic floor muscle training is an effective treatment for ED, showing marked improvement in erectile function compared to those who did not engage in such exercises [Christopher Myers et al., 2019].
87%
Saw an improvement in erectile dysfunction after pelvic floor exercises, according to the study [Pierre Lavoisier et al., 2014]
Another factor that can lead to or exacerbate erectile dysfunction is a lack of confidence, anxiety, and stress.
Stress activates the body's sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the 'fight or flight' response. This response diverts blood flow away from the genital area to the muscles, heart, and other areas needed for immediate survival, making it difficult to achieve or maintain an erection [Mark S. Allen et al., 2023]. In our lessons, you will learn how to escape negative thought patterns and overcome psychological barriers to support your physical responses.
Testosterone is a crucial hormone in male development and sexual function.
It is vital for sexual arousal and erectile function. Low levels can diminish libido and impair the mechanisms involved in achieving an erection [Jessica N. Schardein et al., 2022], [Jack Barkin, MD, 2011]. That's why we pay additional attention to the importance of testosterone levels in our lessons.
A partner plays a crucial role in managing erectile dysfunction.
Support and understanding from a partner can significantly alleviate the psychological stress and anxiety associated with ED [Li Hongju et al., 2016], [J. Dean et al., 2007]. Open communication about ED can reduce the emotional burden on both partners. Discussing concerns and feelings can build trust and intimacy, making it easier to address the issue together [William A. Fisher et al., 2019 ]. That is why our program includes lessons and practices for both partners to maintain a positive effect.
Based on our practice and the studies analyzed, initial results can be expected within the first 4 weeks. However, it is crucial to complete the entire program to achieve the best long-term outcomes. Commitment to the full course ensures comprehensive improvement and sustained benefits in sexual health.
