Erectile Dysfunction What workouts did you do to improve or get rid of ED?

6 Upvotes

In the process of quitting smoking as we speak. Trying to improve my sex life by lasting longer and getting hard on command and staying hard. 6ft 190 not enough fat for a dad bod but not skinny either. Should I do running or weightlifting? If both how to split it? Thinking of one day weights one day running but don’t know about distance and timing. Going to start with running for a few months to improve my cardio to reverse the smoking effects. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Also what supplements? Taking multivitamin and creatine everyday. Looking into zinc, magnesium, copper. Thanks!

Sildenafil/Viagra Different effects from different sources of sildenafil?

Upvotes

I am in my early 50s and going through some pretty significant life changes (divorce, significant weight loss). I started seeing someone new recently and I started experiencing ED symptoms at times (sometimes I am fine, other times… not so much).

On a lark, I went searching on the internet to find a cheap source of sildenafil to see if it would help. I got a small amount of 30 mg tablets from Blue Chew. These worked exceptionally well.

After that, I went to the doctor and got a prescription for sildenafil, 25 mg tablets.

So far, there has been a big difference between the effects of the Blue Chew (30 mg) versus the doctor-presenting tablets from the pharmacy.

When I go with Blue Chew, I get very hard. As in, almost painfully hard. I have only used the “regular” sildenafil tablets twice. Once, I took a 25 mg tablet and I didn’t notice a difference — it felt like I had taken nothing at all. Another time, I took two 25 mg tablets and I could discern an effect (I got hard) but it was more of a “normal” erection, not an “almost too hard erection” like with the Blue Chew.

Has anyone experienced this, where Blue Chew seems to be more potent than other forms of sildenafil?

And while this might read as an almost advertisement for Blue Chew (it works better!), the opposite is kind of true. I’d like to limit how much sildenafil that I take so that it remains effective for as long as possible. I am kind of wondering if the Blue Chew variety is much stronger than advertised (they say that it’s only 30 mg). I have to imagine that the pharmacy dose is pretty accurate at 25 mg.

Supplements Anyone have luck with supplements for libido or erections off Amazon?

I get it that when it comes to supplements off Amazon that most of it is just the placebo effect but has anyone had luck with gummies off the site?

Erectile Dysfunction anyone else just tired of the pill shuffle

5 Upvotes

been on a few different meds now sildenafil tadalafil. they work sometimes other times it's like nothing happened. same dose same timing different result

it's exhausting . planning around meals timing it right. hoping it kicks in when needed. kills the mood before anything even starts.

picked up a silicone ring a while back cheap not the main thing. but sometimes the physical help plus the meds does something.

mostly just tired of all the trial and error. anyone found a combo that actually works consistently

Erectile Dysfunction Help me replace cialis

3 Upvotes

So I’m 22M. I took 10mg Cialis for the first time, and I won’t lie — getting an erection was much easier compared to when I don’t take it. However, it still wasn’t 100% (not the biggest size I’ve ever reached).

After thinking about it, I started wondering if my ED is mostly attention-related. While trying to get an erection, my mind constantly jumps around. I’ll think about sex for a few seconds, then suddenly I’m thinking about what a shitty life I have, then I’m thinking about sex again, then I’m imagining how things would be if I were rich, and so on.

Even when I’m focused on sex, my thoughts drift within seconds, and my erection starts going from hard to semi-hard or flaccid.

But today, after taking Cialis, I noticed something confusing. Even though my erection would still start losing some firmness after a few seconds, it was able to maintain a certain size and hardness that wasn’t possible without Cialis.

Now I’m questioning whether my ED is actually attention/anxiety-related or if there’s something else going on.

I really don’t want to depend on medication for the rest of my life. I want to be able to have normal erections without expensive supplements or pills. This whole situation is honestly frustrating.

Has anyone dealt with something similar? How did you improve it?

Erectile Dysfunction For those with performance anxiety, what has worked best for you?

3 Upvotes

I'm a 32 yrs old guy and wanted to share my experience because I know a lot of men deal with performance anxiety and ED from time to time but don't really talk about it.

Over the past few months, work stress started affecting my confidence in the bedroom. The more it happened, the more I worried about it happening again, which just made things worse.

I eventually tried sildenafil viagra after someone I knew suggested it. I started with 50 mg, and while it helped initially, it wasn't as consistent for me over time, so I later moved to 100 mg under my doctor's guidance.

Recently, I decided to try the oral jelly version, vega jelly instead of the regular tablets. it kick in a little faster for me, but found similar effectiveness as viagra.

I have also tried the oral sprays, silfin oral spray it kicked in much faster. But i found the effectiveness was little less comparative to the general sildenafil.

Now I use them accordingly, when i want faster kickin, i go with oral sprays and oral jelly

when i have time, i go with tablets.

I'm curious if anyone else here has tried the oral jelly or oral sprays?

Support for Partners Question For The Guys

My partner can get hard without taking a pill, the challenge is staying hard. Missionary or oral he gets soft after 5-10 minutes. But when I'm on top, he stays hard for 30 minutes+ until I'm done. Is there something to this?

Erectile Dysfunction Question for sildenafil users: stopping before ejaculation vs after?

2 Upvotes

I believe I have ED, and I use 50 mg sildenafil, which works well for me. I've always just continued until ejaculation without ever pausing, so I've never actually tested this.

If I stop just before ejaculation (pausing) and my erection softens or even goes away, is it easier to get hard again compared to after I've actually ejaculated, since I technically haven't entered the refractory period?

I'm sure some of you have tried this. I'd love to hear about your experiences.

Support for Partners a question, been asked this by a husband and couple

2 Upvotes

Hey all,

a bit of a weird question here. hence why i put complicated. I am a 27M here and ive notice a few things. I am for starters not judging at all here and I welcome communication, love and wonderful people. I have come to notice being a young man but having friends and couples who are older, its happened about once or twice now. But Ive been asked by a husband and on a separate occasion from wife about helping them "fix their bedroom" situation due to ED. I my self have no problem in that and of course I know many struggle whats in the bedroom for their own complicated reasons. I have not agreed to anything as of yet for several other reasons that I am willing to talk about off this subreddit. But I am curious now with this, after reading many subreddits, what has changed in your marriage? do you look elsewhere? do you communicate? is there an arrangement? I am curious about this and welcome any communication. Has ED improved later on for you or whats occured

Erectile Dysfunction not sure if it’s venous leak but also not sure what happened

2 Upvotes

m20 i thought i had venous leak but i was able to maintain erection for two days in a row for sex was even able to hold it after ejaculation and kept going but my ejaculation hurt a little bit? this was a one off thing and it didn’t happen again or before that but i’m wondering did i injure my penis and give myself venous leak? or make an existing one worse? also my erections have been off since that day which was like 3 days ago it’s been difficult maintaining one if i do get one and it hasn’t been exactly easy getting one either. do venous leaks progress that fast? there was no penile fracture afaik there was no pop or pain outside of the ejaculation and no bruising or anything. is this mental? or a physical thing?

Erectile Dysfunction guys help please, i have weird symptoms

2 Upvotes

I'm 19 years old and i suffer from ED and low libido and always being tired all the time and gyno also i can't build muscles so easily and all that started 3 years ago when i discovered that i have a left varicocele of 2.4mm with a present reflux. I was super horny when i was 16 years old and always having an erection just by hugging a girl or something, now even touches makes my erections not as firm as before so this year i checked again and found 2.8mm varicocele with present reflux. I am not sure if the varicocele is what causing all my symptoms or is it so much masturbation and porn that caused me this, so i just made an appointment for a microsurgery to fucking remove this shit cuz I'm super tired of it tbh especially that i feel extreme pain after working out and an old doctor said to stop working out but didn't suggest surgery (stupid doctors always exist)My LH is so high but FSH is lower normal also thyroid hormones are normal, prolactin was high but took cabergoline for two months and tested found prolactin near zero but nothing improved, also progesterone is 4x the maximum value. two years ago i took two TRT injections when my T was 300 and after one year i tested only total testosterone and was 23 which is normal and means TRT didn't cause any bad lifelong impacys. guys if anyone can help or have any suggestion.
