Erectile dysfunction

[Iro1]

Hi My first post, I think it is pretty obvious that many of us, me included, associate our self worth, status with our 'masculinity'.

This may or may not be a good thing, but many, most men in fact consider themselves to be profoundly binary. They represent the '1' to a feminine '0'.

When a man fails to become erect it is terrible, no matter what your partner says it is a huge psychological blow.

I have been there but I have come through it, here is what I learned along the way.

I had liver issues, I started to get hot flushes. I knew my testoterone was collapsing.

An attempt on my own life, being sectioned, I eventually managed to get a T test 8.8nmols.

I was on a huge load of anti psychotics and anti depressants.

I was started on testogel, this improved my blood T scores, it improved my mood but not my sexual ability.

I was aware of the impact on my wife (I even ordered a dildo from Amazon which got lost).

When I finished my treatment I threw my anti depressants away.

This was stupid, come off them gradually, under your GPs supervision.

I had within 3 days a response from my penis!

But it had shrunk, barely there at all, lack of an erection for 3 years meant the blood vessels were not open to allow more than a nub.

I went to urology and was given a vacuum tube. I found it impossible to use.

I got viagra prescribed. this helped but meant sex lacked spontaneity.

My penis did however start to grow from use, in length and girth.

It also meant that my wife began to climax again, this was a wonderful thing.

I am 60 and so the sexual position I normally use now is on my back with my partner on top.

This works well.

I became aware of tadalafil, the 247 viagra.

Initially I bought this myself, now I have it prescribed.

Transformational, spontaneity, solid 'morning wood' long lasting.

My whole attitude to sex has changed, I rarely orgasm now, I find more satisfaction from the pleasure of my wife.

What was going on?

Well the liver, then considered cirrhotic now just 'fatty' is the obvious culprit.

My weight I was 138kg now I am 107kg

Anti depressants certainly

My T score is now 24 nmols, my psa is .24, I do have thicker blood and I do twice a year have blood removed. This could be the side effect of T replacement.

If I have bored you or over shared with you my apologies, hopefully there is something in my story that will help you understand your own situation.

Too many men work their whole lives as providers, loving husbands, loving fathers then take their own lives.

Let us all try to stop it!

well done for sharing your experience 👍

thousands of hours of msm are given over to issues about gender, trans, lgbtq which affect a minority of people, whilst in plain sight men are facing a mental health crisis, suicide is the largest single cause of death in many age groups. Insecurity about masculinity is allowing vermin like Tate to buy another Ferrari.

Is it any surprise that the male organ has trouble functioning?

[OneJoker in reply to Iro1]

Agree, always forgotten on every platform

I'm 27, what would be your advise for this young men here sir?

[Iro1 in reply to Busha]

Well if you are suffering erectile dysfunction do not accept it. See your GP and get some tests, obviously testoterone but there are other tests. I am 60 and have 3 beautiful grown up children so fertility is not an issue for me buf I do know that T therapy can effect it.There is an alternative treatment that stimulates the brain to make more T and preserves fertilty.

What I think is clear is that you apply testogel your balls think they can have more time off.

I was told that my balls would shrink. But apart from swimming they are as big and bouncy as ever.

I am sure your GP will help and refer you onto urology.

Be confident if medical science can get this 60 year old, fatty copulating daily with his beautiful wife you will be fine.

The biggest issue we have is not confusing her HRT with mine!

By God race, my junk doing good. So you mean I should do more sex to keep my tool healthy from the beginning ( I mean at my young age) ?

[Iro1 in reply to Busha]

Well you dont have to have sex to use it, but certainly lack of use is not a good thing. The blood vessels do like to be blown up and down, I certainly am smaller than before my difficulties but large enough to achieve a moon landing 95% of the time!

I think you need to find a libidinous lady, there are plenty around, whose company you enjoy, there is nothing as marvellous in the world as a lady coming hard on top of you in my opinion.

It makes me believe there is a God

I find that 2 capsules of Horny Goat Weed and Natural Red Korean Ginseng really does work. I would meet my lover for sex and I would lose my erection after a while and it wasn't a very strong erection so I thought I'd try Horny Goat Weed and Natural Red Korean Ginseng and I was rock hard and stayed hard. I took them in the morning and met my lover in the afternoon. I also here that a supplement called MACA is great for it also so I have ordered that too to try. I've began to drink green tea in the evening also so that could be helping. I also took Quercetin in the morning so that could have also boasted my hardness but definitely Horny Goat Weed and Natural Red Korean Ginseng are known for it.

Thank you for your story pregnant with useful functional tips.Suicide is a sin.I am glad the Lord restrained you.Faith in God can smoothly retire the virulent,carnal, or residual sexual needs and makes us understand that he designed his system to gradually peter out and die.Any artificial tricks or techniques to resuscitate or rejuvenate, albeit medically approved,have inherent health risks and damaging consequences moreso upon the soul ,the real part of the human being.

As we age it’s important for each of us to keep a tab on our “account” with God, our maker and ensure we are not in the red.The Word of God, mostly contained in the Bible, gives wonderful guidelines and in fact,commands,as to how we should “trade” with others and our personal obligations if we are to become citizens of Heaven.

I know many people today, sometimes through culture or inheritance, may not have had the blessing and opportunity to know God in this profoundly sinful and cynical digitized, cynical world…where kings and governments have surrendered their loyalty and lives to Satan and taken their people down the bottomless pit with them.Earth has reverted to the Sodom and Gomorrah that were destroyed by the Lord long back in antiquity.

However in the name of Jesus let’s start somewhere.Look for a Bible based church around you.Kick off that proud, sceptical,rebellious, science -misled spirit…and you will never look back.

Time is running out.The tell tale signs of the end are evident and all around us,sometimes euphemised and coined by the learned scientist as global warming,tsunamis,tectonic upheaval,logical,cyclical,natural etc.

May the Lord bless you.
