I think it's just because of porn.

What do you think?

Im 21 and week ago i tried to have my first time with my gf but when i took clothes off my erection fade away. My mind was calm but i feel like my body felt huge anxiety. I was looking for advice and i found out that to try sildenafil to remove part problem of anxiety and overcome this, but my question is - is this safe? I wanted to use this only one time but im pretty scared that i might get Addicted. When im alone and i touch myself and use imagination im hard and everything is going well. Also i was using porn for masturbation for few years.

I relapsed this week, and it made me realize how much this addiction can consume my thoughts. Because of that, I’m thinking about throwing away the two strokers I recently bought this week when I relapsed

I’m also considering talking with my wife about whether we should stop using vibrators for a while and instead focus on reconnecting with each other physically without relying on toys. My goal isn’t to control what she uses, but to create an environment that helps me break free from this addiction and put more emphasis on intimacy and connection.

Has anyone else gone this route? Did removing toys help your recovery, or did it create other challenges? I’d love to hear your experiences and any advice.

my PC told me everything is in my head and it’s just stress and anxiety been feeling slight pain after I get nocturnal erections and when I wake up it fades and turtles at this point I don’t know what to do I did watch porn every day and quit about 2 and 1/2 months ago I can’t even get hard to masterbate no more is this permanent or will this fade away my flaccid fluctuates throughout the day I don’t know what don’t but see what the urologist say today

I know I’ll never have a hookup or partner or any type of intimacy because I’m not tall enough or attractive enough (logic>instincts) and I live in a very competitive dating city, so my question is how do I not watch p***? I literally would be sexless for years on end and my hormones go insane. Whenever I do quit which only lasts a couple days I can tell my erection quality is much stronger. But what am I supposed to do being 22 and this horny it’s literally insufferable and honestly it’s just nature. I wish I could be asexual at times to not have to worry about this nonsense. Only reason I want to keep my ED better is in the 1 million chance I end up with a partner or something

Within the past 2 years I’ve noticed a decrease in size and full erection strength. Yes, I have 100mg Viagra and I also have 5mg daily Cialis. I take Viagra when I want extra strength. Cialis I take daily.

I’m currently on a 320mg of a certain bp med and I’m trying to get that dosage down to 160mg. I truly think being on a higher dosage is having an affect on size and having the ability to have sold natural erections. I want my size and I want to get off erection meds if possible. I’m early 50’s. Anyone going through this?

Hi there. M27 here with a problem that's giving me some serious anxiety, to be honest.

I've never had a girlfriend before and never had any sexual experience other than masturbation. This year, though, I got really lucky and met an amazing girl. I love and adore her, and I honestly think she's gorgeous.

We're sexually active and do a lot of intimate things that we both enjoy. I get seriously hard, and I often preejaculate just from kissing or foreplay. But when it's actually time to have sex, everything seems to change.

As soon as we start penetration, my erection usually starts fading. I can rarely stay hard for more than a minute or two. After that, it's pretty much gone, and I have to get myself hard again with my own hand.

The first time it happened was actually my first time ever having sex. I was rock hard, she got on top, everything felt good. It definitely felt different than I expected, but in a good way. Then after a minute or two, I noticed myself getting softer. I panicked and tried to play it off by pretending I was pulling out because I didn't want to finish too quickly. Of course she noticed what was actually happening.

Ever since then, it's happened more and more. Now, every time we get intimate, I have this constant thought in the back of my head that I won't be able to stay hard or give her the pleasure that both of us want. It feels like the more I worry about it, the more likely it is to happen.

The last time it happened, we talked about it. I told her about the pressure I feel in my head whenever we have sex. She's been incredibly supportive, but I can tell she's worried that it might be because of her, or that I don't find her attractive. That's absolutely not the case. She's beautiful, she's lovely, she's hot. I get hard and even preejaculate just from her touching me through my jeans or kissing me.

One thing that really confused me happened when she was masturbating me. I was hard at first, but while she was doing it, I went soft. That just made no sense to me. I have no problem getting and staying hard when I masturbate by myself, so why does it happen with her?

Is this common? Could there be something physically wrong with me, or does this sound more like a mental thing? Is there anything I can do?

FYI: Morningwood, Masturbation (although i try not to do it anymore), getting him hard on my own works.

Hi everyone,

I'm a 24-year-old male and I'm really struggling to figure out what's causing my erectile dysfunction.

About 20 days ago, it started with delayed and weak erections. Over the last couple of weeks, it has progressed to the point where I have very weak erections and almost no libido at all. I still get some morning erections, but sexual desire is almost completely gone.

I have OCD and I'm currently taking:

Clomipramine (for OCD)

Risperidone

My recent blood tests showed:

Prolactin: 59.5 ng/mL (about 3 times the upper limit of normal)

Total testosterone: 319 ng/dL (within the lab's normal range but on the lower side)

I was also recently diagnosed with bilateral Grade 3 varicocele on ultrasound.

I'm confused because I don't know what is actually causing my ED:

Is it the medications?

Is it the very high prolactin?

Is it the Grade 3 varicocele?

Or is it a combination of all of these?

If the medications are the main cause, I'm hoping my sexual function will improve after working with my psychiatrist to adjust or eventually stop them if appropriate.

If the varicocele is contributing, I'm not sure whether I should consider surgery.

I'm hoping to hear from people who have had similar experiences:

Did anyone with a Grade 3 varicocele have erectile dysfunction that improved after varicocele surgery or embolization?

Has anyone's ED improved without varicocele surgery?

Has anyone had ED mainly because of high prolactin from risperidone or other psychiatric medications, and did it improve after lowering prolactin or changing medications?

I'm looking for personal experiences because I'm feeling very confused right now. I know everyone's situation is different, but hearing what others went through would really help.

Thank you.

Is there anyone get program from Eric Leckie for erectyle dysfunction or any other successful method
I am 45 struggling with erectile dysfunction

Hey guys, posting this because I'm kind of freaking out and really need some advice.

I (M, early 20s, heterosexual) recently got into my first real relationship with a girl I'm actually super into. I've had some minor stuff before, but never actual sex.

Since we started trying to hook up, I've run into a massive roadblock. Basically, a few things are going on:

• My brain is wired to a fetish: Like 95% of how I get aroused—and 100% of how I finish—is tied to a very specific, niche fetish that doesn't really translate to real life. When I'm with her, I just can't get fully into it mentally because my brain is so used to that specific trigger.
• The "death grip" problem: My solo habits totally messed me up. I've always used a tight grip and chased a quick, high-dopamine spike. I could easily finish even without being fully hard, so I never had to learn how to actually maintain an erection. Real sex takes a totally different kind of stamina that my body isn't used to.
• The abstinence trap: Sometimes, if I haven't jerked off in a few days, my dick is actually extra soft. I can't even get fully hard when I masturbate before finishing. Ironically, taking a break actually makes it harder for me to get erect, which obviously becomes a huge issue when trying to have real sex.
• The round two trick: On the flip side, I've noticed it's way easier for me to get fully hard and stay hard if it's my second time masturbating in a day, instead of the first.

I really want to fix this and actually be able to have sex with my partner. If anyone has dealt with something similar—breaking away from fetish conditioning, fixing grip issues, or dealing with this weird sensitivity/softness thing after taking a break—how did you fix it?

Appreciate any advice.

It's frustrating how uncommon tools for men with above-average equipment are. For instance, I just heard about the Firmtech, a few minutes ago, from recommendations here.

So, I went to their site and Amazon page to discover that they have something like a 1.77" diameter restriction. Well, that'd never begin to work for me.

Are there similar alternative nocturnal sensor tools?

99.99% of pumps on Amazon wouldn't fit me, and I prefer most of their designs to my old school tube, which I ordered from Vacutech, years ago, which they custom made for me. It connects to a separate pump, and it's not nearly as cool as the ones on Amazon that have the pumps that are integrated into a tube.

Also, the upcoming Vertica device likely won't fit me.

Oh, well.

No, I'm not humble bragging. It's just frustrating to miss out on so many tools that could benefit me.

This is just about supply and demand, just like my struggle to find shoes that fit my oddly-shaped feet.

Can Cialis or Tadalafil tablets help in premature ejaculation also on a larger scale? Or do they basically treat erectile dysfunction majorly?

Hello so Friday I tried to have sex after 4 years of having a women and for some reason I couldn't get hard she was trying to boost my ego and kept trying to have me keep going and keep trying but it wasnt hard enough for me to do anything and I felt pleasure but it was almost like numb and couldn't feel any control I'm sad because I couldn't perform like I use to and I'm 34 year old. I have a appointment with doctor coming soon but I just wanted to know if anyone who has ed over come it and have sex like they use to when there were in there 20's or is it just a done deal? Thank you

Hello everyone, I can’t get an erection while standing up. When I masturbate it’s in flaccid state. To explain better it’s at 3PM position just straight. And even if I’m stimulated it’s never at full erection length. It’s not penetration strength

What I noticed is that I get morning erections and they’re more strong. Not as strong but much stronger. When I masturbate laying down it’s more of a hard erection that’s good for penetration. When but when I get up it’s like a loss of blood supply the erection goes back to the 3pm flaccid erection state.

Hormones, Prolactin, & testesrone are all normal range.

I got a Doppler and it showed arterial insufficiency, no venous leak.

Currently taking 5mg cialis daily sure it helps a bit but the issue is when ready for penetration standing up I can’t get erection stay strong.Even Viagra won’t work tried 100mg before same flaccid state.

Any ideas what can be the issue. Anybody have similiar experience with me ? Anything helped them out?

I am 27m and I can’t remember the last time I had morning wood. At least over a year probably more but I didn’t think much of it and the time has flown by. The eventually the problem became premature ejaculation, okay maybe it’s been a while I’m rusty, but at least I’m getting fully aroused. Now I have a hard time even masturbating. I’ve done it almost daily 5x times a week since I was 13 and now even watching porn it’s hard for me to get excited.

I met a new girl and I think this could turn into a relationship but then it happened. We tried to have sex twice now and both times I can’t get fully erect. It’s embarrassing and sad. I’m into it and I want to do it but once it comes time to do the deed I’m only like 50-70% of the way there if I had to guess. I cant even start having sex cause I’m not hard enough. It’s like my mind wants to but my body can’t.

Things that may be causing problems.

Used to masturbate very frequently. Past couple weeks have cut down tremendously with my issues.

Started smoking Weed again which never cause an issue before but now I’m 4 days sober trying to see if that will help.

I haven’t been getting 8 hours of sleep recently but 6+ at least

Diet has changed the past couple months but again problem has been going on for about 2-3 weeks.

I sprained my ankle and stopped going to the gym for the last 2-3 months.

That’s all I can think of that may contribute to that but I’m not sure. What should I try or change? I don’t have health insurance so idk about spending the money to go the doctor for this but should I just bite the bullet? Any advice would be very appreciated. Thank you to whoever offers any help

I’ve suffered from DE for at least 15 years. Even when I was young it would happen especially with a very beautiful woman. Usually went away after happening once per person. Then 15 years ago it started up 50% of the time. When it would happen I’d jerk off and finish in my wife’s mouth. I got a penile implant at 67 and the night before my operation was the last time I was able to finish with oral. My libido stayed pretty high and my wife’s disappeared. I read an article about abstinence from porn (which got frequent) and masturbating, which I did once a night. Went on vacation in February and came 3x nights in a row
PIV. Then I became able to come from bj’s 5 out of the last 6 tries. I’m elated because I’m partial to oral sex but don’t want to jinx myself lol. I broke down the only night I couldn’t finish with her (I faked an orgasm because I don’t want to discourage her lol). I used a fleshlight and watched a homemade video and was able to finish fine. So it’s in my head and the lack of sensation after my operations. Well that seems to have finally returned.

The only thing I do different is injecting 3mg of PT141 (wonder peptide) and a RUGIET troche. I take a lot of meds for my heart failure and blood pressure. . I take two depression meds. I’m able to finish with no problem.

In conclusion refraining from PIED works for me. It’s tough. I’m
71 and an old horny goat most days, but the anticipation of my next night of sex with my wife is fortifying my resolve.

Hi everyone, PLEASE READ IT. I know its a long post but I desperately need yalls help.

IF YOU SUFFERED FROM THIS AND RECOVERED. PLEASE SUGGEST HOW.

Edit : prone masturbation is lying facing down.

Im 26 male suffering from ED due to PRONE MASTURBATION. I have always masturbated prone throughout my life when I was 13 years. I used to do it a lot until 20-21. I can’t get erections now while sitting or standing even if i get some they are while I’m sitting that too rarely. I always done it while watching porn, If I would want to masturbate now I would generally lay prone and put on a porn and do it, but I think the erection would not be that sufficient.

Im a virgin so I don’t know about how would it lay out while trying to have sex. When making out with women in club i do feel sensation but I don’t see no erection. While seeing a hot women I dont as well. Maybe some hot scene on the Tv or porn I would get it but a partial one. One time at the pool a woman was grinding me but I didn’t get a full hard on just a sloppy thing nothing. When I left porn and prone I was back at morning erections but I was not fully erect maybe 50-60%. And it took a lot of hand simulation to get my penis 50-60% erect with (soapy water as a lube) while standing up. Then I started taking 2.5 mg, I could get good morning erections but it still took me hand simulation to get erection while standing up but that weren’t too good and it took hand simulation. Then I took tadalafil 20 mg and I could feel hard erections while sitting and laying down even from thinking sexual thoughts, I tried having them standing up still needs hand simulation and its not super hard as ig should be it constantly needs to be simulated by hand.

Cut short to now I relapsed to prone 3 days ago, its a limp now and I didn’t took any dose of tadalafil, morning erection not there since I relapsed and also with hand simulation i cant even reach 50-60%, just flacid get bigger. I do started giving myself a penis massage a few days ago when I heard it improves blood flow.

I need a way out of this, I don’t know what this is, is it a venous leak, I dont know.

I've filled a prescription recently via GoodRx and Also- the dose is 5mg and surprisingly came from the same manufacturer AJANTA Pharmacy, taking the 5mg daily dose feels like nothing from this particular bottle, I also had left over pills from a different pharmacy same does and I can absolutely feel ( no pun intended) a difference shortly after.

It's almost as if the script doesn't I've filled form GoodRx is either severely underdosed ( can't prove) or this isn't tadalfil, anyone deal with something similar? Feels like I wasted money on the latest fill since it doesn't seem to do much, very suspicious, could their formulation be the problem?

I've given it more than a few days, but same result not much at all

I got the 20mcg Caverject, Im supposed to start with the lower dose (2.5mcg?) the amount in the vial is 20mcg, what should I do with the remaining medication after it’s been mixed? Does it need to be discarded, or can it be stored and used later?

I am a 24 years old man. My healthy and lifestyle is not ideal and I need for sure to lose like 40 pounds, which I am trying to do.

What scares me a bit is that even during mastrubation I don't really reach a good erection and it's always around a 60-70% max I'd say. When I try to clench to make it fuller it does not have strenght, barely holds up. Also it's harder to keep erections while standing and my penis is noticeably smaller whan I am laying down.

Is this just a casa of really bad blood flow? What can I do apart from what I already pointed to?

I have been prone masterbating as long as i can remember. I tried to quit it but was not successful. I am 19 . many people tell me just quit it, workout and in 6 months you will be good as new but really? Idk I am depressed. Anyone i don't want my sex life or rather my life being destroyed. I have ed and low libido. I have even did it for 12+ times in a day last year. But now the time and pain is reduced also its length and hardness. It's a nightmare. Help

Was wondering if anyone has tried both of these and your thoughts on which one was better. I have used ro sparks and it has done the job, but wonder if blue chew would sustain a longer erection

I have a script for brave rx which contains Viagra/Cialis/Apomorphine. I find this works well for me (middle aged and chubby but does regular cardio).

I know blue chew gold also contains oxytocin in addition to those 3.

Are there any other compounders out there with different combinations that people prefer?

21M and I’ll admit that my issues weren’t severe, but definitely moderate and I’ve always chalked them up
to stress & lack of sleep which I still believe had an impact as it’s on and off but I’ve determined that high blood pressure was the main cause.

I take a daily prescription of 50MG of vyvanse, Im in a very stressful stage of life + stressful healthcare job, I drink 1 or 2 energy drinks a day and vape which I’ve tried to lighten up on

One day out of boredom I had my charge nurse take my blood pressure and instead of it being something out of boredom it ended up being higher than half of my damn 70 year old DIALYSIS patients who have notoriously high BP’s even among old people.

———

ago I started taking 1000mg spring-valley supplements of beet root, 2 capsules up to 3x as a day as it had the fastest activation time & is a proven heart health/cardiovascular help at-least in mild cases.

It’s only been two but I’ve felt more relaxed, specifically regarding tension & headaches, and for the first time in a few weeks at least I’ve gotten random hardness throughout an entire day & zero issues in that department.

I’m not gonna rely on these cause I know that I really just need to drink more water, sleep more, quit or vape less & workout more often as my last job was manual labor and kept me in great shape whereas now my job is still on my feet but not intensively.

I had an ED for more than an year. Then something in me told me to go and make hormonal panel. My test came 150ng/dL. Started HCG + Proviron and o boy now i am FIRE!

What about you guys?
