Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction is sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis during sexual performance. A penile erection is the hydraulic effect of blood entering and being retained in sponge-like bodies within the penis. The process is often initiated as a result of sexual arousal, when signals are transmitted from the brain to nerves in the penis. Erectile dysfunction is indicated when an erection is difficult to produce. There are various circulatory causes, including alteration of the voltage-gated potassium channel, as in arsenic poisoning from drinking water. The most important organic causes are cardiovascular disease and diabetes, neurological problems (for example, trauma from prostatectomy surgery), hormonal insufficiencies (hypogonadism) and drug side effects.

Psychological impotence is where erection or penetration fails due to thoughts or feelings (psychological reasons) rather than physical impossibility; this is somewhat less frequent but often can be helped. Notably in psychological impotence, there is a strong response to placebo treatment. Erectile dysfunction, tied closely as it is about ideas of physical well being, can have severe psychological consequences. Besides treating the underlying causes such as potassium deficiency or arsenic contamination of drinking water, the first line treatment of erectile dysfunction consists of a trial of PDE5 inhibitor drugs (the first of which was sildenafil or Viagra). In some cases, treatment can involve prostaglandin tablets in the urethra, injections into the penis, a penile prosthesis, a penis pump or vascular reconstructive surgery. The Latin term impotentia coeundi describes simple inability to insert the penis into the vagina. It is now mostly replaced by more precise terms. The study of erectile dysfunction within medicine is covered by andrology, a sub-field within urology.

Audition monologue

There are two basic types of dramatic monologue: Exterior monologue: This is where the actor speaks to another person who is not in the performance space or to the audience. Interior monologue: This is where the actor speaks as if to himself or herself. It is introspective and reveals the inner motives to the audience. This is also a common device in stream of consciousness writings. Such monologues may also be described as soliloquies. The monologue may be an art form in and of itself, but it has always been part of larger, dialogue-based plays for its provision of another angle in relating to the audience and getting inside a character's inner life. To learn more about how to find the right piece for your auditions, go to monologue. An audition monologue is what an actor performs while alone on stage or in a scene in order to get a job.

Occasionally audition sides are made available to actors days before an audition. When any actor has the advantage of getting audition sides in advance, it is always wise to study them; going into an audition prepared can make a big difference in the quality of an audition. Audition sides are one of many tools available to actors. To learn more about sides and how to get the most out of them for auditions, go to audition sides.
