Hi guys, I am 40 years old and have been having problems with ED for 6/7 years, it was gradually declining. I did see my family physician and he refered me to a few urologists after all the blood work has been done, and everything seems to be in normal range. However all the urologists just said that it is mostly psychological since nothing wrong showing from my blood work. They will just prescribe me with our modern wonder drugs. Those drugs/pills do work for me. Other than those drugs, I also tried some of the natural herbal supplements which do help in some way but not always. One of the urologists did mention about venous leakage, he said is incurable, and he suggested me to wear a cock ring. At this point,without taking any of the pills, I can manage to masturbate with lube and make myself cum as long as I keep stroking my penis. The problem is that I notice in the last 3/4 years, I also lost all the erotic, sexual, nerve ending sensation. What I mean is that if anyone tries to arouse me by touching/oralling my inner thighs, balls, penis, abdomen, or any part of my body, I do not feel those exciting sensual,sexual, arousal sensation, it is only just like someone touching my finger. I rememebered before 3/4 years ago, even if I have problem in maintaining my erection, I still have those sensitive feeling, like rubbing my morning wood against the bedsheets or stroking my penis. Does anyone have the similar problem? Does anyone know if this is a psychological issue or a nerve problem? From my experience, the sensitive arousal touching feeling is one of the reasons an erection is triggered. If my body is numbed, of course I dont feel aroused. Please advise!.
Thanks
I have that problem to a degree but I am a lot older than you. I have loss of sensitivity and declining libido but I attributed it to aging. I always got my prostate and psa checked once a year and the uro mentioned enlarged prostate but did not make a big deal out of it. Then, this year it started giving me urinary problems. I recently had Greenlight PVP that vaporizes some of the extra prostate tissue that was problematic for me. I found out later there is a correlation (for some men) between enlarged prostate and ED. This really pissed me off because I mentioned the sensitivity and libido issue with my uro and he said nothing about the connection. I think you should find a uro that is a specialist in sexual and erectile dysfuntion. This is my plan now that I have had the PVP surgury. Most urologists are not trained specifically in sexual and erectile dysfunction problems. If my current uro who did the PVP can’t help me other than throwing pills at me, I will make an appointment with a specialist. That’s my advice for you because something’s not right and you need to find out what it is and hopefully, get your situation corrected. Find out from the specialist what may cause your problem by having them run the right tests on you and then, perhaps you can be cured. Don’t wait before it’s too late.
i may not be exactly of much help i am 54 ,you have me thinking,.i got restored to normal sex life after a few wild weeks in thailand and for a few weeks after i came home i had a strong wood every morning ,.but as you say reading between the lines it seems now that i am back working and phones ringing banks calling etcetc my sexuality/interest is just gone down so much,.,.i blame work and nothing else,..but i did take cialis 4 tablets for one week when i arrived first in bankok and my penis and balls seemed to have got so much better with the practice i got there,.,.i paid for sex and good great value for money wiht both older women and the usual ones of about 25,.,.,. but as i do not get aroused by strip shows or the usual eroticism , but when i am in the bedroom i performed quite well.so its all really mental and the restoring of confiednce and having fear conquered,.,.,.wish i had more money to go to bankok more often
Thank you for you reply and advise, I appreciate that.
I have already made an appointment with my family doctor as I need a referral to see a uro.
This is where bitch slapping is a valid reply. When an MD can’t find
anything they always say that. If this was the real opinion, instead
of hiding a shrug, they’d have a psychologist lined up for you. That
person would be an effective part of regular recovery. There would be
a litany of recommendations …I don’t here it either.
You’re having a neurologic problem that has yet to be addressed.
Bluntly, neurologists aren’t eager to hold cocks. The only mental
problem you might have is resistance to new paths of arousal. I found
myself resistant to being more aroused by my nipples than my penis at
first. I thought it girlish. When I stopped resisting erotic feelings
from all of my body I stopped tressing as much about it, and even
found oils to be good for me.
You may try “injection treatment therapy” like what I came up with
for myself, and the doctor went along with. I used a half dose of
Caverject twice a week. The irritation others complain about woke up
neural paths for me and the one to two hour hard-ons were nice too.
