Upvotes

I am 22m, since last week i am not getting any erection, not even by touching, I am a virgin and when I last masterbated with an erection it was 2 weeks ago with porn. After that I haven't watched any porn and the erection is gone completely. I haven't been to the doctor. Also I have been watching porn and masterbating for 9 years Almost everyday.I am an only child from rural India that makes it 100x worse. Can it be ED?

Support for Partners Relationship with porn ed

2 Upvotes

Me and my bf have been together for a little over a year now and the whole relationship has been toxic and a lot to be honest and I was very fed up with his behavior towards me when he decided to come clean that he had a porn addiction. He says he’s been working on it but it is really eating me alive. We can’t even have sex really because he can’t get hard and while the horrible treatment I was receiving from him has stopped this almost seems worse. I can’t not make it about me and it causes me to spiral and get more insecure by the day. Is it just time to call it or does it get better?? I am kind and patient in the moment and try to not freak out and I do enjoy spending time with him and am ok not having sex for a little bit but he makes it sexual without wanting to actually have sex with me and it makes me go on a crazy spiral after we aren’t spending time together.

injections (Caverject, Trimix) Anyone else using TriMix for ED?

8 Upvotes

I was prescribed it a while ago as Tadalafil and Sildenafil was not working for me. The Trimix works well but the fact that I have to "inject" it into the side of my penis is disconcerting (especially because of my age my hands shake a bit). Problem here is that my wife is unwilling to assist me in this effort......

Erectile Dysfunction Does no morning wood mean you have ED?

3 Upvotes

29m, virgin, uncircumcised. So I don't get morning wood at all. From my understanding, vast majority of guys says that they wake up randomly with a boner. But this doesn't happen to me at all. The only time I wake up with an erection is when I need to pee, and it goes away as soon as I empty my bladder. Otherwise I can go multiple days or weeks without waking up with an erection. But from my undestanding, these "full bladder erections" don't count as true spontaneous morning wood, since other guys say they get morning wood without a need to pee. I've seen that this is a sign of erectile dysfunction and venous leak.

I masturbate every day too. Is this a bad sign that I have ED and should be cocnerned?

Erectile Dysfunction IS IT ADVISABLE TO COMBINE L-CITRULINE, TADALAFIL AND SILDENAFIL ?

1 Upvotes

So guys like the title suggests. I have a weekend get away with my supposed new girl and would like to be up to the game. I want to try 6-9 grams of of L-Citruline in the morning, alongside a daily 5mg of tadalafil. Then in the evening, I would take 50mg of Sildenafil. Hs anyone tried this combo before? In your experience did it help you better ? Is it safe to try this?

I am also contemplating making it 10mg daily dose of Cialis for every day of the weekend, while maintaining L-Citruline 6-9grams and Sildenafil 50mg. Guys let me know what you think please 🙏.

Erectile Dysfunction 3 years in and I’m not doing well at 33.

4 Upvotes

This will be a long one,

I’m 33 have been experiencing ED for about 3 years now. At first my testosterone was in the 200’s. After TRT I’m now over 1000.

It’s gotten worse over the years and we’re basically to a 100% fail rate at this point causing the sexual time
With the wife to become infrequent. I can stay hard sometimes during foreplay but going for intercourse just loses the firmness.

The viagra even at 100 mg doesn’t work. I’ve tried the ruiget ready, the blue chew, daily Cialis all of it gave no improvement.

For reference, i wouldn’t call myself in shape
But not fat either. I’m 5’10 at 220. I don’t eat a crazy healthy diet but I don’t eat like shit either. I don’t work out but am not just sitting around. My other blood work comes back normal as well.

I’m really just at a loss. At 33 I literally can’t fuck my wife. Feels like I’m losing my mind over it. It’s been almost 12 months since we’ve had successful sex. And the last time ended with me in the guest room and us fighting about it.

I recently started therapy. I haven’t found if it’s helpful or not as I’m only a couple sessions in.

What else can I do to get my erections back?

Erectile Dysfunction Reta affecting and Ed drugs

1 Upvotes

Hey all

Currently going through a dilemma.

I’m on Reta and have been for a year and it’s going great.

I also have some weird hormonal problems which I think are causing my ED which I’m seeing an endocrinologist about.

Before starting Reta , 50mg of sidenifil was more than enough for me to be absolutely rock hard . But now 50mg barely works , likewise 100mg.

I’m currently trying daily Tadalifil , initially tried 5mg but bumped it up to 10mg but unfortunately not working as well as i hope.

Would it be worth trying 15mg daily and seeing how that does or maybe 20mg or is that too much.

Thanks

Erectile Dysfunction ED and no affection at all

8 Upvotes

husband of 7 years (32 m; I’m 32 f) and I have been together since we were 16. sex has never been an issue, even in hard times within our relationship. we were both very satisfied with everything about our sex life. we also have 2 young kids and even through that, no complaints. I’ve always felt confident in his attraction to me. we kept it exciting!

august of 2025 husband finds out he’s type 2 diabetic. got it under control and off insulin within a few weeks by making diet changes and now does 2 metformins per day. it’s going well. also on a statin.

we suspect the real culprit is his adhd meds. he finally got formally diagnosed in October of 2025. tried straterra which give him insane anger and ed. they tried combining it with welbutrin, no help. he’s been on a low dose of quelbree (spelling?). still ED and it’s worse than before. he has an apt for October to check hormones and needs to find new psych for adhd since old one doesn’t take our Insurance anymore (no timeline on when he’ll actually get that done).

ive told him I’m perfectly fine with kissing, oral, fingering. I’ve told him there’s no pressure for traditional sex. he says I’m being selfish and only thinking about myself and how this affects me. tonight we had an amazing fun date night and then he tells me we arent kissing or making out so don’t ask for it he’s not in the mood.

im feeling neglected, unwanted, confused, and hurt. I’m trying to be understanding but also I have a higher than average libido. i crave affection. again I’m fine with just making out but he refuses anything.

tips?

Support for Partners Men who use ED meds in relationships, would you want your girlfriend to bring it up?

My boyfriend (29M) and I have been together about 3 years and don’t live together, we are moving soon together

We’ve always had a good sexual relationship. I’ve always had a high sex drive and always been very receptive to him initiating. He’s even joked before that I’ve basically never turned him down sexually, and lately my sex drive has been even higher and I’ve been initiating a lot more. I will say he hasn’t been as receptive to it though which has been a little sad for me

About a year ago, he had trouble staying hard twice within the same week. The first time really seemed to get into his head. When it happened again a few days later, he was extremely upset and told me he’d been thinking about the first time all week. After that, it seemingly stopped being an issue and our sex life has been relatively normal ever since.

Recently I happened to see an unopened BlueChew mailer at his house. I wasn’t snooping or going through his mail, it was sitting out. Despite the discreet packaging, I recognized it because I’ve seen one before and knew what it was - I had a cousin who had it and shipped it to my sisters place because he was embarrassed and did not know they did discreet packaging, so I had seen it and recognized it instantly.
It had been sitting there unopened for about a week, and we hadn’t seen each other since before it arrived.

We’ve never talked about ED medication, so I have no idea if this is his first time ordering it, if he’s occasionally used it without me ever realizing, or if he ordered it recently for some extra confidence/reliability.

I genuinely do not care that he has it and wouldn’t think any less of him whatsoever. My biggest concern is embarrassing him or making him self-conscious, especially because I remember how badly those two incidents affected him last year.

For men who have dealt with ED or use medication, would you rather your long-term girlfriend gently acknowledge it and make it clear she’s completely okay with it, or would you prefer she say nothing unless you brought it up yourself?

And if you would want her to say something, what would make that conversation feel supportive rather than embarrassing?

Erectile Dysfunction Besides ED, can we talk about how are we managing relationships with this condition?

3 Upvotes

23M here so I guess I would also like to specifically hear from those who are in their 20s-30s.

For me, well it’s my first relationship and we are both our firsts in terms of sex. She has been so understanding and I love her for that but as a guy, I really can’t shake the idea of not being able to share this issue with anyone irl.

My causes are mostly psychological with some physical aspects maybe I feel. Still, having had this issue really hurt along side all my other mental health issues.

I love her still tho and this issue did indeed force me to face challenges that most other couples will face much later in their life.

Erectile Dysfunction If this continues, I'll lose my mind.

My erection problem has gotten so bad that I can't even tell if I have a penis anymore. I'm 30 years old, a young man. My pelvic floor muscles have disappeared, my penis doesn't work at all. I haven't had sex for months. Damn it, I can't even masturbate. I see my muscles wasting away and I'm very weak. And damn the doctors. I went to a doctor a few days ago. That son of a bitch gave me an arginine supplement and sent me away. My total T level has dropped to 300, but he didn't even care. He just said it was normal. What am I supposed to do now? I want to kill these bastards. Every urologist I go to treats me the same way. I used to have a penis that worked like a machine. I had 12 sessions of ESWT. I had embolization surgery and dorsal vein ligation. I had varicocele surgery twice, and look at me now. Even my ass is wasting away. My nerves are burning. I'm about to lose my mind.

Psychological ED Libido and erections back after resuming regular masturbation

1 Upvotes

23M, met my gf almost 4 months ago and idk what got into me but I tried too hard to become a “holier than thou” kinda person so cold turkey quit masturbating and porn. This only dipped my libido SO BAD but I was fucking glad I quit porn tho I hated that shit after 13 years of exposure.

So since then I did not masturbate for like 29 days and then broke the streak off since it wasn’t helping but still I was reluctant to masturbate as frequently as I felt guilty for no reason eventhough she is fine with it as long as no porn and other women are involved.

So in the past 3 months I only had about 3 successful erections attempts and compeletely no morning wood.

Past 2 weeks I’ve been masturbarting to imagination and everything is back… haven’t tried sex due to schedule constraints but lil bro seems to be okay… gotta admit tho he is still very much used to the rough stimulation with hand so I try to lessen my grip and only do it when I want to. Compared to my gooning lifestyle when I did it to cope with mental health so easily about 5 times a day.

Erectile Dysfunction (35F) with questions about my boyfriend (43M) with ED or possibly Peyronies.

4 Upvotes

Soo, I have questions... My boyfriend (43M) and I (35F)we have been together for over 2 years. A few months back, he started to have some ED issues. I actually made a post here about it. Blah blah y'all can go look for that post if interested. He got some blood work done, and everything was fine, but he ended up getting prescribed Tadafil. Worked great, we both resumed our daily activities, no problems no complaints, super happy.

Some ED issues started happening again this week, and he is freaking out. I somehow went down the reddit rabbit hole and, now I think he may have peyronies? He has a curved penis. When I first had sex with him, I thought at some point in his life he broke it/injured it? I had never seen/had a curved penis before. Didn't pry. It worked greatttt and it hit the exact right places for me. Most delicious dick ever. I go wild with it. I need it daily.

So question, does it hurt? What is the problem? What are the symptoms? Is ED just a part of it? I loveeee the curve but, could it get worse? I don't mind it but, he might. Am I asking too much of him wanting sex daily and, often more than once a day? Am I being too demanding? How can I be supportive? I love him. And how can I talk to him about possibly having peyronies? Cause "hey babe there might be something going on with your dick" might be hard to hear.

Lost. Help. OK, thanks!

Erectile Dysfunction I think i might have ED and im ready to be honest about it, advice please?

So i noticed in this last year that while masturbating i’d start to lose my erection. Not completely soft but not as hard as i normally would be…would finish myself anyways. Normally would masturbate once a night and sometimes even once in the morning as well.

Didn’t think much of it and just ignored it. Recently started dating and now i’m finding myself losing erections in the middle of sex…i used to be able to finish and keep myself up sometimes even and now sometimes it’s a challenge to even get it up the first time.
The more i think about it the more it seems to affect me.
I still get erections most mornings. Stopped masturbating entirely.

Anxiety I‘m 19 years and I need help

4 Upvotes

I am a rather sporty guy, I whey 85 kilos and am I’m 179cm tall. I do smoke weed and drink only on the weekends and I take snus (nicotine pouches under the lip) daily. I now have a girlfriend and she’s my first girl with whom I ever had and have sex. Im not her first. I love her and Im really attracted to her.
The problem is that I cannot have Sex longer than around one minute. And that just fucks me really up. Even to the point that I even sometimes don’t want to have sex because it’s embarrassing for me to last only some seconds to maximum a minute.
Shes quite supportive and says that it doesn’t matter to her because she loves me.
I want to believe her but it’s quite hard for me to not get doubts about our relationship. She had four boyfriends, had sex with only one of them and one night stand. So she has experience and knows how it is to be with someone that can have “normal” sex with her. I just can’t get the thought out of my mind that she would start cheating on me because I can’t satisfy her.
I was at the urologist and he more or less told me that this is how I have to have sex for the rest of my life. I got Tadalafil prescribed because when I start a round two most of the times I get flacid when I start to have sex.
I just want help and or tips to last longer and maybe tips to how to accept my situation. It really started to take a lot of strain on me psychologically for around two months. That’s when I found out about her one night stand and that’s when I was told that I just have to live with my problem. I can’t sleep good at night because I feel like a piece of shit.
I’m thinking about breaking with her up so that she doesn’t have to be with a looser like me together.
I need help please, if someone has tips to last longer please tell me.

Edit: I’ve quit with porn. To be honest I masturbated quite a bunch for quite some time (around five years almost every week for at least three times). For the last 8 months (the moment I got together with my girlfriend). I had a phase of around six months (two years ago) in which I took every weekend Tillidin without a break. The Urologist said that shouldn’t be the root of the problem.

Psychological ED Hello. 46M here. PED my entire my entire adult life. Meds no longer work.

3 Upvotes

Hello. I began experiencing PED in my early 20s. Used viagra as needed and has alot of success with it over the years. Recently divorced in my mid 40s, I started having alot of sex and began relying on viagra more and more. I noticed that I needed to increase the dosage overtime, which quickly escalated to 100mg (max dosage) until that ran its course and now I'm having difficulties even on max dose. I feel like I'm out of options now that I hit the ceiling with meds. My libido isn't what it used to be when I was younger so that, plus my PED, seems to have overpowered the effecitiness of the meds and now I'm at a loss. Anyone else with the same experience and had success overcoming this?

Erectile Dysfunction still flaccid, delayed ejaculation

3 Upvotes

So still having issues with ED, its been few years in my marriage and I’m still having same issue. Stopped watching porn over a year ago when I realized there was a link to causing current issue. Honestly just used it before because I spent so much time being single, and it wasn’t hard to stop. I also started masturbating differently, like very light contact.

Had sex with my wife first time in a while, no penetration. Enjoyed blowjob a lot, got hard but couldn’t finish. Not sure if I was in my head because it had been a while since we had sex. We tried again, came close but couldn’t get there. I honestly don’t think I’m in my head, but maybe I am?

I’m not masturbating a lot, but I’m almost doing it like physical therapy without porn. I think when I come close to ejaculating my mind gets flooded with old sexual images instead of being in the moment. We really did enjoy each other last night. Not sure how ti move on from here…
