I am a 51 year old non smoking, quit 4 years ago, male. I have no underlying medical conditions, hardly drink alcohol and consider myself relatively fit.
My problem is that I find it difficult to maintain an erection, during intercourse alls well for the first 5-10 mins then I lose my erection, this can happen a couple of times then I just lose interest. I have tried viagra but to no avail, just gives me a headache.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Hi Rizla
Viagra isn't the best - try Cialis 20 mg. Not a cheap alternative but far superior. Relaxation is important too and trying not to worry or becoming anxious about how long your erection will last. Definitely try this ED drug - also it's effects last much, much longer.
Your right, the more it happens the more I worry so the more I worry the more it happens, never ending circle. Thanks to everyone for their input and I shall certainly take it all on board
If Viagra is not working you problem may well be due to you worrying about it to much. Try and indulge in elongated foreplay and not make full sex a target. I went through a similar period a couple of years ago myself and occasionally still do. I am now 53. At that time Viagra did work for me but to avoid over use we also used a 'penis extender' bought from an online sex toy company. This is basically a thick condom and it meant we could still have penetrative sex, and my Wife quite enjoyed it. Though she would not admit it at first ! Worrying does not help. Good Luck.
Had bloods done, all normal
Don't really understand what you mean by several doses, am I supposed to be taking it constantly through the time of 'activities'
Since you've tried only option my opinion is try a different one (based on a different primary ingredient) or consult a doctor. Been using cialis for quite some time. Not on a permanent basis, but as "booster" of some sort. I know it's not the best option, guess it's more of a psychological issue rather than physical. Anyway, it helps, that's all that matters.
Well. If you don't want to use any kind of pills - strong diet and regular physical excersises. Nobody has invented anything better until now.
It sounds like your lifestyle finally caught up with you. Make some changes in your lifestyle.
No smoking - no beer/ale - no booze - no drugs. Any of these can interrupt blood flow to your penis resulting in diminished libido & cause erectile dysfunction or impotence.
Stress, anxiety, depression, fatigue, crappy diet, lack of exercise, & some medications can also cause a malfunction at the junction.
Same problem with me! Age related? Am 50.5 now!
Sex with the same partner, especially a long term relationship can get very stagnant. Your loosing interest during because your not stimulated enough. Talk to your partner and discuss trying new things. There's no shame in stopping when you loose your gusto and re igniting the fire. Try gentle role play, introduce a little spice, touching and caressing, it's not all about going hard at it. Your missing out on all the fun and adventure. It's not supposed to be a serious moment, it's about laughing, giggling, passion, love and pleasure, exploring your fun zones and your partner's. It's' definitely not a score card situation or a performance review bud, take the pressure off and experiment. You may surprise yourself and your partner, take a chance, what can you possibly loose.👍
How is your blood pressure. I know one of the symptoms of Viagra is it lowers your BP, that's why they tell you not to take it if you are taking nitroglycerin. I'm thinking that if your BP goes up high during the activity, that may be the culprit. Just a thought.
