Erectile disfunction and Anxiety.

[dialtone]

This has been a problem I have had my entire life. Once I experienced ED for the first time, I became overly nervous that it would happen again. I realize now that in the instances in which it occurred, I was focusing more on the possibility of it happening that what I wanted to get out of the present situation; sex. I have always had a very high sex drive (with the exception of after a lengthy cycle) and I would think about sex all the time. Then when the time for sex came, all I could think about was the possibility of not getting up...which then resulted in not getting up.

There have been a few ways I have combated this issue. When sexual activity begins, I try to become very selfish. In doing this, I focus on getting what I want out of the situation and not being concerned with the girl's perception of me at that time. Once I feel like the girl is paying attention to me and my performance, immediately nervousness comes over me and I fail.

Another thing is that I try to associate all sexual thoughts and feelings with the person I am with. This kind of pairing creates a very sexual draw to that person once they come around. If you were to masturbate, only think about that person while doing so...don't watch porn or anything else. This makes the first thing much easier.

Lastly, avoiding all substances that may contribute to ED helps a great deal. For a long time, I concluded that drinking prior to sexual activity increased the possibility of ED. Now, if I were to drink, I would be aware of this possibility which would then lead to failing. Keeping the possibility of ED off your mind is the most promising way to ensure that it doesn't happen. It's kind of like, when you want to eat a ton, the best thing to do is to ignore that it is not good for you.

ED is an actual medical condition that is treatable. I'm not sure ED caused by anxiety should be labeled as ED, although the same course of treatment could be prescribed.

Other than the obvious prescription of medication, I highly recommend a penis pump. Yes, you heard me right. A penis pump will help open up the passageways for the blood. Over time, correct use will also increase the girth of your junk. It can temporarily increase the length but the gain is not permanent. It is also best to use a cock ring with it. But be very careful with any pump regime. Go slow and use it 3-4 times per week. Pumping too big too quickly can cause permanent damage.

Which brings me to my second recommendation: a cock ring. It will help keep the blood flow in your junk and thus keep it hard. The best ones are the adjustable ones b/c they are easy to remove when needed.

Both the pump and the rings can be used to combat the physiological and psychological etiology of ED or ED-like symptoms.

Psychologically, you have to find a woman who you trust. Without that trust you will have a very difficult time working through any anxieties. This is not as easy as it sounds. When I was married I needed pills to get it up and keep it up. I thought I had a medical cause for ED. Now that I am divorced and single I am finding it to be very easy to hoist the main sail. Turns out my etiology was psychological. Every now and then I still pop a pill as a crutch though.

This is really weird but I believe it fits perfectly into the psychology forum. I have had ED four times in my life. Every single time was different girls and they were all times I was being "Unfaithful" to a current gf. First let me say I know I'm a horrible piece of shit and I'm sorry for that part.

So do you guys this this is my subconscious trying to keep me from doing something wrong? It definitely wasn't because I wasn't aroused or turned on at the time. I really think my mind knew something wasn't right so my body reacted. It also isn't a "New girl" thing either because when I'm single I go whoring around and never have any problems, well with my penis at least lol.

I've had issues with this for quite a while. I've been on and off anti-depressants since I was 12yrs old due to a chemical imbalance and life situations as well. The anti-depressants have caused it but there is a huge psychological factor to it. Once you know that its happened to you several times you think about it a lot more and it causes more issues. Now I take cialis and viagra every time I'm going to get laid and I'm generally g2g. I tried coming off the SSRI i'm on but it didn't go well at all so I know I need it. I just have to take viagra and cialis to counteract it. This is a good combo and works well. Sinus pressure from it sucks though so I usually take psuedophedrine with it too.

I came across this forum and I was doing a search on this subject, I also am a man in his thirties facing ED problems, it seems like it's an old-man-only problem and was quite embarrassing to have. Reading through discussion boards online it's nice to see I'm not the only one.

I did visit my doctor and he said to call penispumpwarehouse.com which was very nice of him since he knows I can't dish out $400 for a pump and the he said manual ones are just as good and one third the price. I don't even care if he gets a kick-back from the company, it saved me lots of money.

The thought of a cock ring kind of made my skin crawl it seemed dangerous and he assured that if not worn for longer then 30 minutes it would be fine. I have the beaded ring as they said it's the safest option and it's a tighter fit I have to admit not the most comfortable but it really works.

I have a better sex life now and I think by looking online at forums like this it helped with the psychological aspect knowing I'm not the only one it's fairly common problem regardless of age.

I am facing the same thing now dialtone. I had an injury mid cycle and was on morphine, oxycontin, percs now vicoden, xanex and ambien. Still cant walk, 30 lbs lighter and I drink too much. All this when I worked a 9-5 job, ran a business on the side and going to school full time.

I went through a period where I would rather cut a finger off than have sex with my wife because It failed a few times. Now I am still so worried about the whole situation I avoid it. I went to see the doc and he told my Test was in normal shape so I guess it's all mental.

I think it's easy for us to get so stressed about the situation because we want to throw down the D and be the man but really, we just need to have a chat about it with our females and work it all out

Best relationship advice ever. Kudos. A kind patient loving woman is the best aphrodisiac in the world.

I'm gonna have to give this recipe a shot. My problem is half the time its a soft hard and other times I "go" a litte early sometimes and after, my hangdown doesnt wanna come back up even though my gf is sexy as shit and I'm constantly horny.

Sounds like a winning combination! I can't take Yohimbe because it actually makes my cock shrivel up for some reason. Plus it make me have to piss and shit a whole lot. How far in advance do you take the clomid?

How old are you? Are you on or off cycle right now?
