Don’t you mean sympathetic? I was also considering that: there was a device supposed to measure parasympathetic vs sympathetic balance on CNS that was brought to my office and stated I was too much on the sympathetic side.If NPT (night erections) are good then it is unlikely that nerve damage is present and any ED issues are probably psychological. After all, nocturnal erections are a proof that nothing is wrong "down there" physiologically, so what remains is the stress response in people with highly active parasympathetic system. The latter can cause a variety of symptoms like sweaty palms, social anxiety, stuttering, and of course ED. For those people, anticholinergic chemicals like cypro or Benadryl may help. Peat spoke about this in one recent in interview, making a connection between ED and premature ejaculation, and overactive parasympathetic system. He also suggested vitamin B6 may help too.
Fight or flight system seems pretty far from sex and erections (stressed vs relaxed).
