ED?

[metalminded]

Hello everyone.

I’m 53 and think I’m starting to experience ED. I’m thinking it may be stress and anxiety related.

The last two times I’ve masterbated I didn’t get fully erect but did ejaculate. My wife and I haven’t had intercourse for several years because of health issues she has. She does give me oral every so often and the last time same thing, I ejaculated but never got a full erection.

Is this ED?

I’ve never had this issue in the past and though I have kidney disease and diabetes it is currently well controlled and I’ve lost about 40 pounds since starting Ozempic a few months ago.

My last labs were the best they’ve ever been so I think it’s not health related but stress.

I appreciate any guidance.

Thank you!!

Probably is ED like mine. I take 10 mg of tadalafil and it solved it. I'm 67 and it started in my 50's. I have had prostate issues too. I am also diabetic and have high blood pressure. It's also a fact of married life that after awhile some couples just migrate to being best friends. I have not had sex with my husband in 20 years due to the ED previously but I've lost interest. I'd rather masterbate quite frankly.

My friends report the same thing with their lives.

Get some tadalafil and see helps.

Thank you for your response!

You may be right.

I’ll talk to my doctor once I have my physical this year.

Hi, Yes I'm going through the ED thing, I'm 59. Still awaiting to have blood checks to see if it is physical and testosterone levels, diabetes, cholesterol etc. GP gave me Viagra which hasn't really worked. Other guys on here have recommended Tadalafil so I might ask for that depending on blood results. It's the ability to perform and so frustrating when you try but can't climax. I feel so inadequate the that makes you feel low so a vicious circle. Let's hope we both get it sorted out.

I agree!! Good luck to you sir!!

And you Mister. Easier to share stuff on here. I can't even talk about it to my closest friends about it which is a bit sad in a way. I think there is a psychological aspect to it too. Not really stressed but a bit low so could a combination. Maybe an age thing, when I was a teen I couldn't leave my penis alone. Some guys are still active in their 80's+ Cheers!

I’m the same way can’t leave it alone. I enjoy masterbating and it’s just about all I have for a sexual life.

I’m happy it still feels good and I ejaculate but I’m upset I don’t get hard.

Depression is likely a cause too. Though that’s not new.

Yeah, I find I can stroke it through underwear or shorts for a sensation but that's about it. Just want to get a full erection and penetration with the right person and able to ejaculate properly. Sorry should be supportive on here. But at least we're not alone in the problems in the men's dept. Good to share.

Yes, it’s nice to have someone to talk to about it and share our experiences.
