Hey guys,
Longish post ahead but don't want to drip feed.
I've noticed that the last couple weeks I've struggled to get fully erect like I normally can. I can still crack one out no problem but it's defo too soft for penetration.
To give some background, I've had a few issues before which may be related but may be irrelevant. I'd been on my own for a few years, most likely due to the general malaise of low T - hated my job, no energy, etc.
Started TRT, changed my job, much happier, and was seeing a girl until last week (this could be a factor).
With my girlfriend I had some issues struggling to stay hard. I was always rock hard at the start but would sometimes lose it and struggle to recover. However, truth be told, she wasn't the type I usually go for and I think that lack of total physical attraction may have been an issue, despite really liking her as a person.
I think I'd defo got a bit of nerves too as was scared of upsetting her after a few awkward times, and tiredness also played a huge part as was working 60+ hour weeks in a new career and she was living two hours away - only saw her on weekends and sometimes I'd start horny and then lose the moment after lying there kissing for too long (I don't think having ADHD helped, but sometimes I'd also just feel exhausted and needed to sleep).
The key thing to me is that I was still able to get solid erections on my own and many times after she'd gone I'd be like "godammit, if she was here now!" I do also think I've got a bit too used to watching porn over having sex if I'm honest, embarrassing as it might sound and the stimulus is different.
So now I've got a much better job, lost a bit of weight, stopped vaping (which should help) and I'm sleeping well, but even with 40mg of cialis it's just not hard enough. I'm defo sad about the break up but I just don't think that's the only thing. Not had recent bloods and my test may be too high as I sometimes inject 180-200mg but I've tried half an adex on several occasions and not felt a difference (maybe even lowered sex drive as opposed to high drive and low eq).
Just looking for some ideas and hoping it's just stress.
