I am only 21 and i have been suffering from erectile dysfunction for approximately 6months - not being able to get an erection at all. I have bought over the counter tablets such as viagra from pharmacys which have had literally zero help at all. All i read on the internet is bad things about it and how hard it is to reverse it. I live a healthy and active lifestyle i exercise 4/5times a week and i am at a healthy weight i dont smoke and drink alcohol maybe 3/4 times a month. Unexpectedly about 2months ago i met this girl and even though i knew about the problems i had we have been seeing eachother but i have never got an erection with her and I always have to make an excuse about not having sex with her. I am too scared to tell her as i have not known her that long. This is really affecting my life and making me down and depressed. I am also too scared to tell anyone about this as its embarrassing and i am starting to think there is no solution to the problem.
Does anyone have any successful storys on this topic and any advice would would be great and is much needed as i really dont know where to go from here!
Hi Jonjo,
The first step is to find out what the cause of your problem is. It can be physiological or psychological. Either one, there are many options to help you from simply consultations with a sexual psychiatric to most invasive solution which is prothesis implantation.
ED is a disorder like all other illness so there no need to be embarrassed about. Be open to the girl you are seeing and if she really likes you, she will understand and if not probably she is not a right person.
