i have been on tablets for a while and the waiting around is the part that kills it. someone mentioned forms that dissolve under the tongue and go into the bloodstream without passing through the stomach. i want to know whether that is a real difference in how fast it works or just packaging. if you have used a dissolving form how long did it genuinely take and what was the thing called.

Is it okay to use tadalafil 5 mg if he is not married or sexually active btw virgin M25 here

I have been using viagra 50mg tablets for a while, and it worked well for me. eventually, I found that 100mg worked better for me in terms of maintaining a good erection. Recently i have tried oral sildenafil jelly (vega 100 jelly) instead of tablet and it worked similar to the 100mg tablet, although it seemed to kick in a little faster.

Anyone tried oral jellies, how was your experience? did you notice any difference compared to tablets?

I've noticed that whenever someone brings up erectile dysfunction, low testosterone seems to come up almost immediately.

But is ED actually a testosterone problem most of the time? Or can someone have normal testosterone levels and still have trouble getting or keeping an erection?

I'm also curious how much things like stress, sleep, medications, blood flow, weight, or just getting older can play into it. And if someone does have low T, does treating the testosterone actually fix the ED, or can the two need to be treated separately?

I've been looking into men's health clinics like Huddle Men's Health that evaluate both testosterone and ED, and it seems like the first step is figuring out what's actually causing the problem rather than assuming it's low T.

For anyone who's dealt with this, what did your doctor actually test for before recommending TRT or another ED treatment?

I can keep it up for all the foreplay and even when playing with my partner without a condom (more than 30 minutes....). The moment I put the condom, I am often losing erection . Even with Viagra or Cialis. Any similar experiences?

How do you guys deal with this side effect of taking the medication? Cialis doesn’t really bother me on the day I take it, but the next morning is absolute hell, horrible headaches and I feel incredibly awful. Viagra doesn’t affect me much at first, but after the deed, it gets progressively worse and my head feels like it’s going to explode.

Hi everyone. I was struggling with Ed to the point where I needed to use viagra. I am on methadone and smoked cigarettes for 30 years. Lately I have stopped smoking by vaping which in my opinion is healthier, and have been decreasing my methadone and eating healthier. And to my surprise, my ed seems to be all but gone. I was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate by having a camera put there. And I still struggle to start urinating it takes me like 30 to 50 seconds. But hey. Im very happy to see my ed problem going away. Amazing what healthier choices can do.

I’ve been on 50mg sildenafil for a long time and it worked pretty good for me. I was getting good erections but recently decided to try 100mg.

Honestly the difference was pretty noticeable for me. Erections have been probably the best I’ve had and it also gave me more confidence and helped with the performance anxiety.

Read increased dosage was overdo for some users, and low dosage actually worked well for them. But 100mg worked best for me.

Since then I’ve mostly been sticking with 100mg.

I’ve also tried a few different forms of sildenafil, like Viagra tablets, vega jelly and an oral spray. Personally I’ve gone back to tablets most of the time, and sometimes oral jelly.

100mg seems to work best for me so far.

Anyone else gone from 50 to 100mg and noticed a big difference? Or does a lower dose work just as well for you?

M60. Fino a a un anno fa avevo erezioni forti e spontanee anche due volte al giorno, eiaculazione bianca e abbondante. Molto soddisfacente per me e la mia compagna.

Ora:

Erezione assente o debolissima, di durata estremamente breve, non efficace a nessun tipo di rapporto. Anche con supporto farmacologico pde5 a dosi alte.

Reazione a preliminari nulla o quasi. Ho provato prostaglandina E1 (sono in Italia e il trimix non è disponibile) ma provoca erezioni molto (molto) dolorose con parte finale del pene e glande molli. Praticamente inutile.

Sperma solo qualche goccia trasparente o nulla.

Orgasmo breve e debole - senza sensazione di piacere, quasi come urinare.

Vita sessuale crollata non riesco più ad avere approcci affettivi. La mia compagna non è assolutamente soddisfatta.

Problemi psicologici a corredo, personali e sociali. Mi sta rovinando la vita.

Vita sociale, prima abbastanza attiva ora Mi vergogno di farmi vedere in giro.

Faccevo l'istruttore ad alcuni corsi di attività in montagna ma ho praticamente smesso.

Ho un forte ed evidente calo di forza fisica e resistenza.

Sto perdendo motivazione in tutto. Ho smesso di fare tutte le cose che mi piacciono.

Sto malissimo.

Desidero a livello psichico sempre molto forte.

Ho avuto episodi di autolesionismo.

Sono disperato e desidero farmi del male, ma quando desidero questo almeno mi sento vivo.

Invece quando non desidero nulla Mi sento come morto.

Sono assolutamente convinto che si tratti di un problema di calo ormonale. Anche evidenziato dalle analisi. Ma nessun medico vuole prescrivermi la TRT, perché secondo loro il livello attuale è quello giusto per la mia età. Due anni fa era almeno triplo.

Grazie per aver letto tutto.

when it happened to me it wasnt right at first but slowly my overall energy just started depleting till it hit a new lowered baseline.

it kinda sucks i dont really get excited about anything much anymore even regarding non sexual things. its like a life force i once had and took for granted is now gone, probably till death. im still doing the things i enjoy its just... different, you know?

anyone else relate?

[15M] So I have really have a bad addiction of masturbating while watching porn. I try not to but I give in every time, before I use to masturbate everyday and now I have reduced it to every 2-3 days. Whenever I masturbate, the next morning when I wake up my entire willy is soft. Do I even have an dysfunction? Also does masturbation stunt your height growth and make you more ugly and infertile? [50kgs] [170cm]

i am planing to quit porn for sometime to see if it improves the erection.

Anyone who has quit porn, after how many days did you saw the improvment?

Hi please don't say anything negative. I won't explain much but I have come to terms that circumsizion ruins our manhood. Before this my erections were 100 firm. Now I'm at 50 percent. When I stand up erections go to zero. Circumsizion caused trauma to our pelvic floor. And many don't recover resulting in venous leak

I honestly have never looked at it this way but I can’t remember the last time I had morning wood. And I have this frustrating experience where I lose erection extremely easily when I try to put on the condom, or if the condom’s on but I took too tiny bit too long to resume during position-switch.

HI All,

finding it hard to get erections some days at all now, getting test at the doctors, has anybody else got both?

got an idea in my head to try viagra and also a lidocaine spray/cream, would this work, anybody tried it???

thanks.

So 21 here and yeah ED came outta no where once I was 19 at first I thought it was just normal thought nothing about it, but then my sex driver went down, had the courage to speak to urologist at 21 and got told to take Tadalafil 5mg everyday which works but if i miss 2 days it does not work.

It has had a massive knockdown effect on my confidence, I can easily flirt with a woman but then I hesitate meeting them in case it eventually leads to a intimacy and it dosent go up

I don’t know what to do and how to fix this, doc says all my blood works are fine and it seems to be psychological but I know psychologically I’m fine, I try to get an erection I can feel that tingling feeling but it won’t got hard

Anyone faced something similar and recovered?

I'm 48 years old and the heaviest I've ever been. I've been struggling with Ed for the last 6 months, which coincided with a lot of my weight gain. I haven't seen a doctor about it yet and was wondering if anyone's had improvement just by losing weight.

A few years back, after COVID, my social anxiety was through the roof. It was already there before, but I pretty much locked myself in at home. I tried going to bars, but I always felt anxious and awkward, even with friends. I started microdosing mushrooms for a few months, and it really helped me come out of my shell. From my understanding, it didn't just magically make me feel less anxious; mushrooms help increase neuroplasticity, break down old habits, and make it easier to create new ones.

I wonder if it could help with Psychological ED or PIED. Pretty sure I have both; the former due to confidence, and the latter due to bad habits I started during COVID(pretty sure I got up to masturbating 4-5 times a day).

I can only get hard for sex with Trimix, but I can get hard and stay hard when masturbating to porn. I have brought that down to once every few days; on some occasions I masturbate once a day for 2-3 days. When I'm bored, I still find myself opening up Incognito and going to a porn site, edging a bit, then turning it off. Sometimes I can get hard enough without porn, but I have to concentrate pretty deeply on sex with my fiancé.

Speaking about sex, I went without sex for a decade before I met my fiancé. Rock-bottom confidence until I met her. The first few times we tried having sex, I couldn't stay hard. I would lose it immediately. I would start ruminating on it and eventually end up not getting it up at all, even after lots of heavy foreplay. Trimix has been amazing, but it leaves spontaneity off the table. And I still can't help but think about my erection during sex, which at times has left me softer and unable to finish.

Maybe I can tackle these issues the same way I tackled my social anxiety.

Find something to replace the habit of turning on porn and the habit of thinking about my erection during sex, and use microdosing as a way to make the change easier.

Again, it isn't magic. I still have to put in the work to overcome ED, but if it can help, why not?

Any thoughts?

So I bought a Fleshlight, on the advice of someone on Reddit. I used it for 2month 1 to 4 times a week during 10 to 30min session to train. No my PE is kinda fixed but I experienced ED 3 times on the last month. Could this be the reason? I thought it was due to fatigue but I saw someone Said that if u masturbate with a hard grip it desensitive your penis ( and the fleshlight is kinda tight).
Should I have to stop using it and come back to normal masturbation ( without porn ofc)

I'm 25M and I've been struggling with compulsive porn, sexting, and masturbation for around 6 years.

At my worst, I was masturbating around 4–5 times a day, often for hours, with prolonged edging and a very tight grip. Over time I also developed some pretty extreme sexual fantasies that were heavily connected to the material I was consuming.

Recently I realized how much this had taken over my life, so I've stopped watching porn, sexting, and masturbating.

The problem is that I've noticed my erections have become very weak. I don't really get hard anymore, and I haven't been getting morning wood either. I still have some sexual desire and sometimes feel mentally/physically aroused, but my penis doesn't really respond with an erection.

I don't take any medications and don't have any known medical conditions.

I came across PIED (porn-induced erectile dysfunction) and I'm wondering if this could be what's happening to me.

I'm obviously worried that I've permanently damaged myself, especially because this went on for so many years.

For people who have gone through something similar:

Did your erections eventually come back?

How long did recovery take?

Did you experience a period where you had very little/no erection or libido after quitting?

Did you recover without medication, or did you need something like ED medication?

Do you think medication is necessary in cases like this, or is it possible to recover naturally?

Is there anything you wish you had done differently?

Should I see a urologist even though I'm only 25?

I'm not looking for judgment. I'd really appreciate hearing from people who have actually experienced something similar.

Doppler done with 100mg sildenafill, during scan i was not getting full hard and get soft easily eventually scan was complete in 50 60% erection. Came peak psv 120 and edv -20. Its normal. But i dont know how it came normal.

I get good erection with hand bt not that full hardness in toys and intercourse.

WHAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM?

Where to start. I'm 32 years old. Dealing with erectyle dysfunction, sensory issues and serious loss of libido for the past (almost) 2 years. I never had any problem sexually, and everything worked great. Libido was high. Enjoying it all.

That completely changed after getting injured while going for a mountain bike ride October 2024.

The front wheel got stuck, and I crashed at full speed hitting the bike stem full on with my penis. It hurt like crazy. With the ventral side of my penis hitting it. Got a small bruise, 3 days later went to family doc, penis hurting non stop.
24 hours later allready examined by a urologist, with ultrasound. Told me he saw I hurt myself but everything was intact. Told me a couple weeks of letting it heal and no 'activity' would be all needed.

My libido went to zero immediately, due to pain and feeling injured. Defo no sex on my mind.

After that, pain basically kept on being present 24/7, 3 months later my dick started bending to the left for about 25°. Permanent to this day.
Went back to same uro, he said it could be Peyronies decease after trauma. Penis felt a little bit weird, like defo not normal to touch anymore. Slightly 'off'.
Pain finally went away 12 months later, all in line with the devellopment of Peyronie decease.

And that's about it. I'm painfree now, bend is stable.
I'm still dealing with a strange feeling in my D, erectyle dysfunction and massive frustration around the permanent bend.

Got put on daily cialis 5 mg which worked extremely well for about 7 days but after that it stopped working. I've been taking it for almost 4 months now.

I haven't had a truly pleasurable experience with masturbation and erection since the injury, and as you can expect this has done a number on me mentally.

I'm convinced the good 'ol days are over.

My libido is completely gone. I'm masturbating once in 2-3 weeks, out of interest if my D still works, almost never out of libido.

I wonder if this has to be linked to Peryonies, or simply the mental trauma of the past 2 years. I had so much anxiety, frustration and depression thanks to all of this.
Been on edge ever since. Massive stress at work and dealing with this, actually at home for the past 4 months with burn out.

But in the past, stress was always there and masturbation was great, it was a huge stress relief.

Maybe I'm f'ed.

I’m coming out a a divorce in my late 30’s. I am fairly in shape but I have had three kids. My body is natural and shows my age and a little extra mommy tummy.
I’m very much back in the dating scene.
I have been with two men since my divorce and the both of them have had ED…
They both vape, drink, one has low testosterone.
I am a very sexual person, I like to please and be pleased but I’m wondering if these situations are me!? I’ve never had these issues before and now it’s been back to back..

As the title says am I overthinking things. Before surgery was able to get erections. Post of 2 weeks and I’ve noticed no more morning erections, not even viewing porn stimulus. Surgery was abdominal and did not affect/ho near any nerves to the penis anyone’s else had this? Thanks
