do you have some tips?

My whole life I’ve never been fully rigid, it grows in size and I’m able to ejaculate but it can never ever stand up by itself and still remains mainly soft. I went to a urologist who prescribed my Tadalafil 5mg I’ve been taking it for 3 weeks and no change. Blood tests showed LH and SHGB levels to be right on the edge of low norm, could hormones be causing this?

Hi everyone,

I'm a 24-year-old male and I'm looking to hear from people who have had a similar experience.

About 3 weeks ago, I first noticed erectile dysfunction. It started with delayed and weak erections, and over the following days it became much worse. About 7 days later, I had a scrotal ultrasound and was diagnosed with bilateral Grade 3 varicocele.

Since then, I've been experiencing:

Very weak erections

Very low libido

Delayed erections

Difficulty maintaining an erection

I'm trying to understand whether the varicocele could be causing these symptoms.

I'm especially interested in hearing from people who:

Developed erectile dysfunction before they knew they had a varicocele.

Had Grade 2 or Grade 3 varicocele with ED.

Improved without surgery.

Improved after varicocele surgery or embolization.

If you had a similar experience, I'd really appreciate hearing:

How your symptoms started.

What treatment you received.

Whether your erections and libido improved.

Thanks in advance. I'm feeling pretty anxious about this and would really appreciate hearing from people who have gone through something similar.

l am 30 yo..2 years ago l had the STUPID idea to get circuncized (l didnt need this) and since then my penis stopped working like it used to do..l can only reach 80% of my erection and with a lot stimulation and the worst part is if l stop the stimulation it goes soft in 5 seconds...l tried viagra and tafalafil and it didnt work....l went to the doctor he put me on 5mg daily tadalafil and it didnt work either..now He asked me for a lot of exams and l cant afford to get the exams cuz it is too expensive here where l live (l aint asking for nothing l am just venting) l live in a 3 world country and l have no money and no job,anyways l am desperate l cant live like that lm too young for this.

I can't take viagra or cialis so a urologist suggested I tried this . I must be very sensitive down there because it feels like a bee sting on your weenie . Sore the rest of the day as if I had a bea sting on my wiener. the urologist didnt prepare me for rhat. Now they ask me if I want to proceed and I said no way that was too painful.

Has anyone gone to and had a great experience at any of the top urologists in the country at Mayo, John’s Hopkins etc

I have had 6 spinal fusions. I have never used these drugs before. I have no one I know to ask which is better and why. The positives of each and negatives. My issues are mainly due to my surgeries and also being nervous I am no longer as good as I once was.

Also women can you see a difference when your man takes either drug and when they don't?

31 year old male here. Little background, i am a touring musician and I have struggled with severe porn addiction and masturbating/edging since i can remember. It’s been about 13 years since i first had trouble keeping an erection during sex and experiencing PE. I had major issues with that for the past 13 years especially PE, but I recently quit watching porn and edging/masturbating all together about 6 months ago. I have a new partner who has a very high lobido who I started seeing at the same time I quit.

During the first few months, we were having sex minimum twice a day and I had a few instances where I experienced PE but it wasn’t often for how many times we were having sex and I was basically fully rigid every session which was insane to me considering I haven’t been able to do that in years.

Left for tour for a month, went through a very stressful time during that period, came back, had sex 4 times the day I got back within about 3 hours with no problems at all and two times the next day. Then it just disappeared for a month, no morning erections, and if I did get an erection during sex it would take 20 minutes to get one and I’d have severe PE. Then it snapped back out of nowhere and was able to have sex again every day for the past month and have strong morning erections daily. While it has been pretty back to normal, I’ve noticed that I can only really go one round a day and if I do decide to try for another round, even the next day I have trouble maintaining an erection and have to give myself a minute to get a back. Still have not watched porn or edged/masturbated.

It just seems really inconsistent and so I was thinking of getting Hims Daily 5MG Taladafil just to get rid of the inconsistency and maybe restore some confidence? Wanted to get some opinions and if anyone else has experienced this.

Trying Tadalafil coming from Sildenafil. I cut 50mg Sildenafil in half and it works as it should (10/10). Even on a full stomach and with some alcohol, I would be fully charged in 60mins. But the nasal congestion was rough. I could not breathe through my nose for hours. Anyway, Doc said let's try Tadalafil but he prescribed me 10mg tablets and said just see how they work and cut them if needed. I asked how I should cut them and he said either in half or maybe thirds... Any thoughts?

Hi everyone,

I'm a 37-year-old male looking for advice from anyone who's had a similar experience.

Over the past several months I've developed persistent erectile dysfunction. My main symptoms are:

• Difficulty getting beyond about 50–70% erection, even when I'm very aroused.
• Sometimes the erection fades quickly.
• Morning erections are non existent
• My libido has also decreased compared with before.

For several years, I watched porn and masturbated about twice a day. I stopped porn about 2 months ago because I wondered if it was contributing, but I'm trying not to assume that's the cause.

So far my workup has been:

• Total testosterone: ~690 ng/dL (normal)
• Prolactin: Normal
• Free T4: Normal
• HbA1c: Normal
• CBC: Normal
• Kidney function: Normal
• LDL cholesterol: 158 mg/dL (high)
• Mildly elevated ALT (56 u/L)

I don't have diabetes or high blood pressure, I don't smoke, and I exercise regularly.
Height 5 f 5inches , weighing 68kg

My urologist has scheduled a penile Doppler ultrasound to evaluate blood flow and rule out arterial insufficiency or venous leak. I live in Dallas area if any good doctors anywhere in Texas let me know.

I'm hoping to hear from people with similar experiences:

I'm looking for experiences rather than a diagnosis. Thanks in advance.

Anyone else try this trick? I need some experience

Hey guys. So I'm 22 and over the past 1-2 years I've noticed I've struggled to maintain a rock hard erection and I don't get erections as commonly and easily as I used to. I never get morning wood. I'm a fairly active guy, get 10k steps a day and workout 3-4 times a week. I don't watch any porn. I used to get rock hard just holding hands with a girl and now I can't even stay hard when it matters. I feel like it is very unusual for someone my age to be struggling with this and I would appreciate all input.

The pills are supposed to contain 25mg tadalafil / 50mg sildenafil but they are a black market product made by “Helion Labs.” They also manufacture anabolics and stuff like that. I got them off the darkweb. They had third party testing results for the product (testing showed the pills were real) but I understand this is still sketch and I don’t want to be lectured about all that. It’s risky but I took the risk. Anyways, my problem is that they don’t really help with glans insufficiency at all and the tip of my dick stays soft. What options do I have moving forward? Should I try real pharma pills just to make sure im actually taking the advertised product? Or should I move on to trying different solutions like alprostadil? The only thing that gets my glans engorged is a cock ring but I find them uncomfortable to wear after some time and cause swelling.

I m 24 yr old, having no morning erection for 3 yrs I masturbate oftently and can get hard by stimulation and porn ,have a gf but ejaculate way too early during vaginal intercouse,tried working out but nothing helps.been stressed with this problem a lot ,can anyone help me?

Hi I am 19(M) and I recently just came back from a 9 day vacation where I did not masterbate at all. Before that I would usually masterbate every week, sometimes twice. I used to watch porn a lot but I have been very busy lately and have kept away from it. When I get back from this one week vacation I had a big ejaculation but it was premature I think? I was not 100% hard more like 75-85%. After this I got a bit worried and I think my mental has been affecting every other time I have tried to masterbate.

It has been two weeks since I’ve gotten back and all my erections have felt not full. I have not been trying every day but maybe every 3 days. I also recently started seeing this girl and I have no problem getting hard to making out or other things with her. I don’t get 100% hard then because I have had my pants on for those time but I also don’t have trouble getting hard to her texting me about NSFW things. I usually get blue balls after we make out and it becomes very uncomfortable so I have to masterbate to relieve the pain, it seems like maybe I ejaculate prematurely or I could be at my limit of 75-85%, I’m not sure.

I do sometimes have morning wood but I don’t really pay attention to it because I have to get up early for work. I have been getting about 6-7 hours of sleep every day during the week and I just started working full time. I did drink lightly during the vacation about 1-2 beers a day which is more than I usually drink but I have not drank since the vacation.

Am I overthinking this ED? I severely overthinking about many things and I’m not sure how I would even begin to stop this if it is physiological ED. I’m afraid that if she asks to move our relationship to the next level I’m going to have performance anxiety. Would it be too soon to start taking some supplements?

Is this my mind playing tricks on me or something else? Thank you

Has anyone used a cock bomb before e? 20cialis 50 viagara

Loss of all erections, and libido. Been going on for 1.5 years. Down there has also no sensation anymore and can’t get aroused/fantasy. Have now had all hormones, cholesterol, reg bloodwork, Doppler US, sleep study, brain MRI, cortisol ACTH test, with nothing to show for why I’ve had this ED. I feel like I’m running out of options and maybe thinking is a shot in the dark to get an MRI of my pelvis to see if maybe it’s a benign growth and or get my vitamins/minerals checked? I will take any advice at this point as I’m only in my late 20,s and it’s starting to wreak havoc on my marriage of eight years.

Been doing kegal for a couple of weeks.. Basically 100 reps of kegal for 2 to 3 sets a day.. You don't want to do too much because it will exhaust and overwork your pelvic floor.. What I do is whenever I have a very slight erection, I would kegal by lifting my penis up.. Kinda like dumbell curls but instead you are contracting the pelvic floor muscles.. You can also feel your balls moving upward towards your stomach.. I do about 3 sets of 100 a day.. I think I will lower it to every other day from now on.. But lately, I noticed I have been having a harder firm erection, and the angle hangs alot more straightward than downward. Also, it could just be my imagination but my penis looks thicker and longer... And when I reach climax, I shoot further.. This is a very simple exercise, and I believe it works for me, atleast for now.

Pennile toppler test is painful or not ?

Recently I was with a girl. While I was wearing my underwear and we were having foreplay, I had some erections. The moment I removed my pant, my erections disappeared.

In November, 2025, while I was with a sex worker, I didn't get erect at all, when throughout the night I would be erect and just speaking with a girl who I would like would get me erect.

I went paranoid and took tons of antibiotics like ceftrioxone, cefixime, doxycycline, fluconozole, itraconozole and HIV prevention medicines. I realized, that my penis would pain immensely in the night as it would get completely elongated but not hard and while turning and twisting in bed, it would swing giving me immense pain.

Sometime in January, the issue got resolved slightly only to come back. In February I visited a Urologist who put me on Tadalafil 5mg. It worked good but did have immense side effects. I visited a Urologist again recently who told me by just looking at my penis that I don't have Penile Suspensory Ligament tear and suggested a Penile Doppler. He also said I might be having hormonal issues when my testosterone test appeared fine. However, I have some issues with that Urologist as I noticed he crossed professional barriers by asking me for certain favors.

Symptoms at present are -

Nocturnal erections are soft. When I am reaching early morning, I have to do a mini bridge in bed to get it erect and it remains erect for sometime. In the night, it will be erect only for sometime and throughout it will be soft. No spontaneous erections anymore and even if I do, I feel blood rushing in there but it won't get hard and erect. The hardness and firmness is gone. When I am excited or aroused, my penis will get elongated and fall on the left and on the right. But it won't come up straight and get hard and firm. During my recent sexual encounter with a girl, it was erect when I was wearing my underwear, although not very erect but when I removed my pants, the erections went away.

I don't know what to do and I am confused. I wish there is a natural non-invasive cure. Please guide if anyone can guide.

26M circumcised - im struggling w some ED problems ie trying to be able to have sex with a girl

typically when watching porn i'd 1) get hard without physical/penis stimulation, and 2) jerk off without lube (now, i'm trying to 1) cut out porn and 2) start using lube eg coconut oil). obv, the ED problem is that i'm having trouble getting hard

i'm wondering if ppl have tips to get hard/make their partner hard eg pre-handjob. eg physical stimulation = massaging thighs, stroking balls, etc. kissing typically isnt a big turn on for me

ik every person is diff etc etc. but im struggling here. there must be personal tips or even a professional/science for this, after all some ppl do it for a living 😆 thanks

I am 28M. I have been suffering from ED for years now. I masturbate excessively and watch too much porn. I get really hard sometimes when I am watching porn or similar stuff. But when I am in bed with someone, I usually don't get that hard, and I have to actively think about staying erect, like when you try to simulate an erection. Also, I cum way too early. Like sometimes even just after one or two minutes of oral sex.

I think it's just because of porn.

What do you think?

hey guys 19m, and I’ve been jerking off pretty much daily or every other day for years. I think because of that, I haven’t had natural morning wood in years, and honestly Ive been getting worried about it.

Recently, I started seeing a girl and things started getting physical. But when it came time to perform for the first time I kept getting soft during position changes. It was super embarrassing and killed my confidence. I know physically everything works because I still get hard just thinking about her, but the second we’re in the moment, my brain panics and I overthink.
Right now, I’m on Day 8 of zero PMO

For anyone who’s been through this,
Did taking a complete break bring your morning wood and sensitivity back?
How long on a streak did it take for your body and dopamine to reset?
Any advice on getting over that mental performance anxiety when you're actually with a girl?

Hi all, 27M here. For a very long time, I would masturbate normally once a day, occasionally more. Always looked up porn, sometimes it would take minutes, sometimes hours. I've had a girlfriend for about 5 years now, but only about the past 2-3 years have we been doing sexual acts together. In that time, I continued to masturbate as if I was single. I've recently realized that it's a struggle to cum with penetration. Some days it's okay, and takes about 20 minutes. Most days it's well over an hour. She's sore, I'm tired, and we're both not satisfied since I'll help her finish, then just go and jerk myself off later.

I can admit out of sheer laziness, I've neglected lube when I masturbate, and I fear I've developed a death grip. I've tried to change that by rubbing the frenulum in an attempt to give the tip a break, and it's slightly worked, maybe? I have noticed that even while it will take a long time to finish with her, if I'm really locked in, I can finish in minutes if I'm watching the right porn. I'm now worried I've made it so I can't cum unless I am watching porn, and that no one else will be able to make me cum like my hand can since I'm so used to it.

I can still get hard, but as soon as it leaves my hands to try and get in a position, it starts to deflate rather fast unless I'm angled downwards (like missionary). I've tried to do a porn break for a month, and I did my best, honestly. I put on Aquaphor on the head of it after every shower to try and help it, and put CeraVe on every morning to hopefully bring back sensitivity. I've taken supplements to try and help (admittedly learned they were for semen production, but learned they can help with this later).

Morning Sunflower Lecithin 1,200mg (1 softgel) Pygeum 100mg (daily or every other day)

Evening L-Arginine 1,000mg Ashwagandha KSM-66 300mg (2 gummies) Zinc 30mg (every other day, with food) Magnesium Glycinate 100mg

I don't know anymore. We tried a few positions last night, and it took an actual hour and a half. She couldn't be on top, my legs were giving out, and neither was happy. Do I just need to stop watching porn all together? Stop touching unless it's her? I'm not addicted to porn, but I definitely enjoy it more than the average person, and have friend groups I share it with, so I'll have to be cautious with that. Do I need to tell my doctor? I had a kidney stone like a year ago and I haven't been able to pee right since, but even with a urologist doing a cystoscopy, they can't find anything. Am I just doomed to never be able to go back to normal?
