Anthoney - No, they aren't. First of all it has to be established that the cause is not emotional/psychological rather than physical. If the problem is anxiety driven or the result of depression or some other psych. condition then these need to be treated with therapy and/or medication. If all the physical and emotional causes have been addressed but without improved performance then there are other medical options in addition to the medications like Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis. Take a moment to read about these at the links provided above.
