Erectile Dysfunction Seems like a lot of young guys have erection problems now. Older guys, did you have ED when younger?

[Skills]

No problem until in my mid fifties. Tried cialis and Viagra, but too hard to get. Now I u\take L-Argintine and Horny Goat Weed and few problems (unless sleep deprived.\).

how is it hard to get???? where do you live in cuba??

 

[OldGuy]

L-Argintine at Walgren's (although I am sure most Pharmacys carry)
Horny Goat Weed at GNC. I live in the American Midwest.

It is overworking out for me, it kills my erections, some times I start raw then put on a condom and i am good to go. performance anxiety also contributes coz i only struggle with getting hard before penetration, once i am inside a gal it is hard and i can for 30 mins straight, so it's just in the initial stages of foreplay and penetration that i suffer, once i enter i don't have no more worries, but why the anxiety despite my years of experience, i can say it is an intimacy issue for me...when a gal is giving me a bj i dont go soft at all, when she starts touching me i am hard, and they can give me a bj for even 20 minutes, i am hard all that time, now when i try to fuck her i go soft before entering some times, so it is just a mental issue, i have never had erection issues when it comes to getting bj. These young men can tell the gals to give them bjs then transition into dick in pussy sexy immediately once hard....

Just wanted to chime in that I ended up buying this product and would also endorse it as doing good things for my junk

Lol, I'm sad that I have to retract my endorsement. The last two times I used the product it ended up giving me a rash inside the foreskin. Not saying it doesn't work, and honestly if the moisturizer stayed outside my foreskin it was quite good, but I need the tip of my penis to be moisturized to help with mild phimosis, so this one unfortunately is not the one for me.

Yeah, it's the porn.

Listen, my diet is immaculate, about 200-250 g of Protein per day, about 450 g of carbohydrates, approx 86g of fat.

But because my diet is too good and my Testosterone is too high, I am having a hard time quitting porn.

I've had at least some amount of ED my entire life (I'm now 30). I'll give my anecdotal experience

When I was early 20's, I think it was mostly nerves/psychological. I had mostly no issues in relationships, only with new girls. I thought the cause was using porn back then, but had trouble stopping when I was younger.

My ED is worse now. I got frustrated at it costing me lays (usually I made it work out in the end though) and started using cialis. Which completely fixes the problem for me now. It's definitely not nerves anymore - I've bedded enough girls now that it feels routine. I've also gone months without pornography usage or masturbation and that didn't make a difference at all. (Though I wonder if something like 6 months of celibacy would change anything?)

I also feel like I have a lower sex drive than most men (despite pursuing it more). I can sometimes get it up without cialis, but it's inconsistent, so I take at least part of a pill beforehand pretty much every time. Though I usually only need half a pill to be safe and not have to worry. Having sex twice in the same day is basically impossible without cialis, and more is basically impossible for me. It really takes me 2-3 days before I get horny again (though it varies and I can still have sex back-to-back days, but don't enjoy it as much). Recently, I haven't been doing any pickup/dating and can easily go weeks without ejaculation and not be bothered (was not like this when I was younger though). I know some guys are able to go 4+ rounds in a night - I've always wanted to have this ability, but my body just won't do it, and I lose all desire after the first time anyway.

Sleep also affects my ED a lot. Lack of sleep makes it a lot harder. It's also easier with some girls. Girls who are really reactive/responsive and feminine/submissive make it easier for me. Girls who are too chill, try to take control too much, or give lmr make it more difficult. Looks don't actually matter that much honestly, an 8 and a 6 are the same ED-wise.

Maybe I should get my testosterone checked.

Thanks for sharing, im just starting on no fap journey and while some of our experiences are similar, others are not (im in late twenties).

For me, im horny as fk all the time. Hence why stopping masturbation is so hard.

# TMI incoming warning #

The problem is at least somewhat related to sensitivity, unless i'm 100% aroused when with a girl, very few actions make me feel much. Usually, the part that can feel something is penetrating slowly. So sometimes at the start I just do slow entry and back to try and get myself as hard as I can.

Maybe the whole death grip of masturbating is there, maybe its fact that I had low testerone when I got tested for same reason like 6 years ago (but still within the stupid range of "healthy")

Part of it was performance anxiety but Ive more or less learned how to handle that and I still have problems.

I tried the non branded viagra capsules a few times, I only took 25 or 50mg which is 1/4 or 1/2 of normal dose I believe, but I didnt really notice a difference. Not what I was hoping for.

Not sure if cialis would be better but it does frustrate me when I lose girls who would have been perfect fwb cos of mediocore sex.



Another strange thing Ive noticed is that my usual sex routine isnt ideal. Much of the advice is to get a girl to cum or close to it with foreplay before sex to lose the need to perform. However often what happens is
-I get super hard when we start making out and taking clothes
-I stay hard when I go down on her
-a few minutes later ive lost the erection even though I love eating pussy
- then I can get it back up by getting her to blow me or whatever but its no longer as strong as initially.

I need to try going for penetration quicker.

If anyone got other advice or experiences as well, interested to hear.

Rockstar, to follow up on my previous post, I think I'm in a similar boat. I feel I have a lower sex drive as well. Even when I was jerking it, I could maybe cum 2-3 times the first day after a few days hiatus, but this would decline to at most once per day - mainly because my member would be pretty sore, but also because the desire wasn't stronger than "once per day". After a week, I'd need another hiatus.

I had trouble staying hard on the third consecutive day of sex with my most recent girl, despite banging her once on each of the immediate previous days. This was WITH the effects of taking one 5mg Cialis each day, for each of those three days.

Again, it additionally seems like every time I'm with an attractive girl I wanted to have sex with (both inside and outside the bedroom, actually), my member would stay limp and just continuously leak precum. Getting hard without a ton of manual stimulation was difficult. So strange.

I woke up in the middle of the night last night with an unbelievably strong boner, which took forever to go away. So, it's definitely not a health issue. I've been prescribed psychosexual counselling, but have been hesitant to start it. I can't logically wrap my head around how counselling would make a difference. Has anyone ever tried it?
