Living with Peyronie’s Disease

Living with Peyronie’s Disease can be like living without meaning.  Psychologically, a man is hard wired through nature to be immediately concerned with his survival.  If a man does not see an immediate threat to his physical well being, then his mind is hard wired to revert to reproduction; thus his penis.  This is the reason that Peyronie’s Disease is such a psychological problem as well.

The simplest of things can trigger this mishap in men’s minds with Peyronie’s Disease.  A song on the radio that reminds you of a romantic encounter or just being able to go to the bathroom can be triggers that prohibit a man from being able to “live” life.

Many men feel like the myth of Sisyphus with Peyronie’s Disease.  Sisyphus was condemned to push a bolder up a hill, only to watch it roll down the hill, and do it all over again for all eternity.  This was a punishment for disobedience to see that Sisyphus was not able to feel accomplished or worthy of anything.  This can be very close to the feeling that the Peyronie’s Disease sufferer experiences.

It has even been joked about on television that if you can’t live with a sex life, then what kind of life is worth living?  Depression, anger, animosity, and denial are just some of the emotions and strategies that are utilized by a Peyronie’s sufferer.  It is natural to ‘go crazy’ when your inborn psychological hard wiring won’t let you escape the problem.
