Posted by multibeast

Hey gang.
27 year old male who's been suffering with ED since I was 21. [br>My story in a nutshell: Was a "late bloomer" (I only had sporadic sexual contact before the age of 21). However, in my teen years I was able to "perform" (oral/hand) with no issue. [br>I moved away to college, gained about a hundred pounds and proceeded to hermit myself in an apartment for 3 years. Needless to say, my sexual performance was not an issue (as I had no sex to perform, hehe) [br>Cut to about a year later, I had lost all the excess weight and I find myself in a situation to lose my virginity. Flirting led to foreplay, foreplay led to... failure. Having no idea that was a possibility, I immediately began to torture myself with reasons why it didn't work- and the torture continued for the past 5 years. [br>Since that first time, it has become the biggest stress and reason for my unhappiness in life. Since that initial encounter, I have attempted intercourse with 3 other partners. I have been able to penetrate/orgasm in certain situation, but never easily and without a ridiculous amount of "criteria" (certain positions, etc). And even then, I still feel like I've yet to have "real" sex/been happy with the state of my erection during the act. [br>With my 7/10 failure rate, in the past 4 years I pretty much gave up on any chance of a sex life. Recently, someone came into my life who i would very much like to persue romantically. We've slept together twice, with my old problem resurfacing on the third attempt. Out of desperation, I then tried to sleep with an ex of mine- and the problem remained. [br>I should note I masturbate about 4 times day (compulsively) and am able to acheive erection/orgasm but never at a "Strength" I would like. I'd say my erections are 60 % of what they should be. Also- "morning wood" is a thing of the past. I manually masturbate to achieve erection. [br>After 5 years of loneliness/torture, I decided to take action. I am now in Sex Therapy and it seems to be unearthing some big issues that need to be worked on. The trauma of that first time has yet to leave , and it effects me always. [br>However- I received light at the end of the tunnel today. After a blood test at my doctors, it turns out I have dangerously low levels of Vitamin D in my body, and most likely have had since my weight loss (which oddly times out with the beginning of my ed). After someresearch , it appears Vitamin D deficiency is a leading cause of ED/low testosterone/sex drive. I am about to go on a supplement ritual to correct- Has ANYONE heard of this being a contributing factor to ed/poor blood flow? Just the hope that my problem could be largely physical would alleviate alot of the stress and sadness I feel. [br>Anyone have any success with vitamin deficiency in regards to ED? Am I getting my hopes up for a quick fix? If I wasn't getting aroused at all, I think I would be less bothered/worried, but its the fact that im obviously excited but can never get "Excited enough". Im hoping that the physical factors that lead to my ED can be changed/lessened enough to have a healthy sex life- which would in turn lead to a healthy mental life. [br>[br>Thanks all- I really appreciate that there is a place to talk about this.View Thread

Posted by An_245057

I'm a 36 yr old male. I am a full-time smoker. I just got an e-cigarette to help me quit. I do not work out. I'm 6'0" tall and 225lbs. I don't eat healthy, nor do I choose the worse meals. My girlfriend and I are starting a vigorous workout routine today. It will be good for my body, my circulation. My diet will be changing. Alcohol consumption has been high, drinking 3-4 times a week. That will be reduced as well. If I can lick this problem which has majorly affected the wellbeing of our relationship, then it's definitely worth the trade. I'm not doing all this for sex, but it certainly is a motivating factor.

Something has to give. We've been together for a year, and I still have erection issues. I've always had to be physically stimulated to achieve an erection as far as I can remember, but I could always sustain one after getting to know my partner over a little bit of time. (a comfort level requirement which left me out of the one night stand category). I'm glad for that. However, after a year with my g/f, it isn't getting any better. She's a smart, witty, suborned, opinionated girl with ambition, determination, and other great qualities. She's very independent, and she doesn't like to talk about problems, especially this one. She's never experienced this in her life, and she doesn't know what to think or what to do. I've always had girlfriends who were more submissive and enjoyed foreplay. I hope there's a way around this because I love her, and I think we would work well together if this issue wasn't always underlying.
I get major performance anxiety leading up to and especially during sex. The times when I can't sustain an erection during sex or fallacio, she gets visibly irritated. I understand, and it's very irritating to me as well.
I have an inability to focus while having sex a lot of the time. I don't know if ritalin would help. I don't have a problem when watching porn however, but I've stopped masturbating for the most part, and watching porn is no longer a daily activity since about 6 months ago. I sometimes fantasize about her being asleep, or sedated, and having sex with her then. I've told her that, and she's pretended a time or two, but that's not the answer. Do I need anti-anxiety medication? I don't have insurance, so talking with a therapist or going to a doctor is pretty much out of the question for the moment. Maybe someone knows a clinic or can refer me to an affordable alternative?
She likes to have sex, but she thinks it has become too much of a chore, and awkward, because of my ED. She doesn't like intimacy, just expedited sex. She's not a fan of kissing, rubbing, or touching.
I've been taking an over-the-counter pill called Stiff Nights this week. The first time having sex while on it was great. It lasted about 15 minutes and I finished. The pill lasts about 48 hours, but after 3 consecutive doses with no break in between, I lost an erection today during sex. I think I took it too many times this week. The pills are also very expensive ($10.00/pill) and it majorly drops blood pressure. I have to be sure to eat something a few hours after taking one so I don't get shaky. This is probably not the solution (no-brainer).

She said when we first met that she would be completely content as long as I could perform oral on her all the time. Since about 6 months ago, she never mentions it, and I always have to bring it up. It's tied to the time issue revolving around sex, she just wants it to be done and over. There have been times when the sex is normal, but it's hit or miss, and it's probably about 20% of the time. She's happy after those times, and I feel good too.
Are there any suggestions as to things that I could be doing? I definitely will be starting to exercise today, diminishing my smoking, and eating better.View Thread
