I’ve written here before about this but i am simply at my wits end. I like many amn patients have suffered from erectile dysfunction (ed) and anorgasmia. This first started two years ago. During that time ive tried sildenafil/viagra which didnt work and eventually i got on bimix which does work. Unfortunately using bimix i have not been able to reach an orgasm from sex with my gf and its very difficult/takes 30+ minutes on my own.
I recently started cabergoline to try to help but i haven’t noticed a difference on my own and to make matter worse my gf and i broke up so i cant try it out with her.
I’ve been dealing with these issues for two plus years and it just seems like nothing is enough. I was wondering how common this is and what any of you may have done to address this. Thanks.
Edit multiple years later: Hello again everyone! I figured i’d update the post in case anyone comes along wondering what worked for me.
It turns out if you’ve been on bimix for i while and go back to viagra/cialis it can make the cialis/viagra more effective. Thats what happened for me. I now use cialis as needed. It doesn’t work 100% of the time depending on how tired or hungry i am, but i’m very happy with it. The bimix may have been hindering my ability to orgasm.
Another helpful thing i’ve noticed is that the sex position makes a huge difference. Myself and other ald/amn patients have noticed that if you kneel down and place your legs under your thighs and press down, that this places pressure on the inside of your thighs/groin area. This makes it immensely easier to reach an orgasm. I suspect this has something to do with our weird nerves and muscle function.
Finally, I got a better partner. My current partner is patient and willing to try anything to make things work. I can not overstate how beneficial this is.
To anyone struggling like i was, especially younger people, i’d say to be patient and don’t lose hope. We may have to do things differently but with the right partner we can make things work. Thanks again everyone!

I'll be very frank with you. Sexual problems seem to be a pretty common issue for men with AMN. But I'll just talk about my own experience, since that's what I'm familiar with. I'm 34 years old, and I've been married for 7 years. I was only diagnosed with AMN 5.5 years ago, but I had symptoms long before then. I think my earliest symptoms came on in my very late teens/early 20s. Sexual sensation has gradually decreased for me over the years. I still have no difficulty achieving erections, thankfully, though they sometimes don't last as long as I would like.
I have been unable to reach orgasm through vaginal intercourse for many years. It feels pleasurable, but it just doesn't come close to reaching the level necessary to climax. The feeling is just "deadened" a bit. To be blunt, what my wife and I have found to work for us is to have intercourse for as long as desired, and then she will stimulate me with her hand to orgasm. Sometimes it is relatively quick, and sometimes it takes quite a while. It's frustrating, but we've sort of accepted that this is what is necessary.
I have a prescription for cabergoline, as well, though I am not able to try it yet. My wife is about to give birth to our second child in a week or two, and I don't want start this med until we will be able to have intercourse again after her delivery. I'm not holding out a ton of hope that it will dramatically improve things, but it's worth a shot.
I have also tried vibrators (the classic Hitachi that many love, and others), but I don't really enjoy the feeling. There is a newer device from a company in the UK which I think is called Pulse, if I'm not mistaken, which wraps around the penis and can be used during "shallow" intercourse, I believe. I've thought about trying that.
I'm sorry that I don't have any great wisdom, but I hope it helps to know you're not alone in this.
I have looked at this post and thought about sharing, but haven't until now.
I have had both ED and Anorgasmia for a while now and tried Cialas because that is what my doctor recommended, but I didn't see much other than a sustained erection for longer than is good although not the over the 4 hours where it would need to be drained. What is working for me, and it is fortunate for me at least that it has been legalized in Canada, is marijuana. First I tried a vaped indica oil for sleep and discovered that it was beneficial for ED and Anorgasmia. I didn't want to continue with the vape because of all the issues with it that were coming up so went to another marijuana product called Rick Simpson Oil, also called Phoenix Tears. Which is a high THC gel to be ingested, it takes up to 1.5 hours to kick in though and that's where the vape was nice because it was pretty much instant. This is also beneficial for sleep for me and helps with the other 2 issues. Something that is very interesting with this is it has also produced a side effect of enabling multiple orgasms, although not of the same level of pleasure or production of as much seminal fluid, but still very good. I didn't think this was possible for a man so was quite shocked.
I am sad to hear your relationship ended, but there are lots of fish out there!
I have used the penile injection of Trimix for a few years. Instant erection with increased sensitivity. No needle pain, I use a microneedle.
Still had problems with finishing.
I found a daily intake of L'Arginine and Alpha Lipoic Acid has improved things where I can finish after about 20 minutes. Also, I take modafinil late in the day if we are having sex that night.
Finally, a lubricant with enhancers is also helpful. I use one that contains ingredients to improve blood flow and warmth. I use this
