A man's ability to achieve and sustain an erection depends on the healthy operation of a network of systems that cause vascular tissue in the penis to fill with blood. For an erection to take place, the nerves to the penis must function properly, an adequate blood supply must circulate to the penis, and the penis must receive a stimulus from the brain. Erectile dysfunction, or ED, is the term used to describe a malfunction in one of these systems. Estimates of the number of American men who suffer from erectile dysfunction range from 15 million to 30 million, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Premature ejaculation, a low sperm count that results in infertility, or a low sex drive are not the same as erectile dysfunction, though one or more of these conditions may accompany ED. Occasional failure to achieve an erection (less than 20 percent of the time) can occur for a variety of reasons--drinking too much alcohol, for example, or extreme fatigue--and is not considered unusual. But failure to achieve an erection more than 50 percent of the time usually indicates a problem that requires treatment. Though erectile dysfunction is much more common in older men (researchers estimate that roughly half of men over age 60 have ED), the condition is not considered normal at any age.
Erectile dysfunction is associated with a wide variety of physical and psychological conditions including diabetes, excess weight, atherosclerosis, prostate surgery, depression, stress, performance anxiety, kidney disease, and hormonal imbalances. Over 200 prescription medications can cause erectile dysfunction as a side effect, as can smoking, drinking alcohol, and using illegal drugs. A number of therapies exist to treat the condition.

Some times a guy can get an erection with a release of adrenaline, if the reason his body released it also excites him in a sexual nature! Some guys are turned on by danger. But the only connection between the two would be in his head, it would be more of a psychological response rather then a physical one.

High blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, stress, really the list is endless. All of them can cause it. Treating it takes a doctor. Treatments can range from pills, to actual shots into the male organ to cause increased bloodflow. Basically, the sufferer NEEDS to see a doctor.

Diabetis or high blood pressure can cause ED. There is new medication out for this. It can also be a mental thing. If this is the cause, maybe a change in lifestyle would help. Good luck limpy.
