unable to sustain erection Posted: 03-06-08 01:36am
I am 27 years old, and I have been
suffering from Erectile Dysfunction for
about six years. I can honestly say that
I have not ever performed sex,
successfully. Up until the age of 21, I
feel I was fine. I dated different women
during that time, but the relationships
didn't go that far (but they were oral).
When my gfriend at the time performed oral
on me, I was totally fine with no
problems. The first time I attempted sex,
I was 21 and with a girlfriend (who I
wasn't fully attracted to). It failed on
me, but I brushed it off as me not being
really attracted to her. A few months
later, with another girlfriend whom I was
very attracted to, it failed yet again.
This has been going on for years, with
many attempts with eight different women
(some were girlfriends, some were vacation
flings). My ED problems include not being
able to erect 100 percent, not being able
to sustain it, and delayed ejaculation.
I am in a very great relationship with a
super-attractive and supportive
girlfriend, but I feel terrible that I
can't satisfy her. I know it bothers her
that we can't have sex as she is ("was") a
very sexual and passionate girl. I feel
as if my ED is lowering the quality of her
relationship. I have accepted my ED, but
I feel for her. I went to my family
doctor, and he brushed it off as nothing.
I went to a Men's Clinic, and they
prescribed me Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra.
These help in somewhat sustaining it, but
not really. It is my libido that is the
real issue, I think, and according to the
Clinic, they say my penile blood flow is
totally fine. They checked my hormones,
and the results, according to them, are
fine too:
I asked for them to further test my
hormones, such as DHT, Total and
Bioavailable Testosterone, DHEA,
Estradiol, Estrone, SHBG, etc....but they
said that this is the standard test that
they do, and that testing the rest of
these hormones is unnecessary. I voiced
my displeasure my asking them how they can
possibly believe that a man in his mid-20s
who has ZERO history of any drug use,
smoking, and poor diet could be
recommended to just use sex drugs on a
basis (Levitra being the only one that
kinda works). He just said that it was
psychological, and that's that.
I can understand that, but I wake up every
morning to ZERO erections. I never get
spontaneous erections, and even when I
mastrubate, my penis still fails on me!
It gets hard, sometimes it can get to full
erections, but quickly subsides and then
it ejaculates a lot later, after it
already becomes flacid. I want to go to a
urologist, as I think it's more than just
performance anxiety. But I simply don't
think the urologist will tell me anything
different than what the Men's Clinic has
told me. I am seeing a Homeopath, it's
good to talk to him, but I don't know if
he can help me either.
What disease could this possibly be?
Peyrone's? When I mastrubate, many times,
I am not feeling it. I ejaculate with no
pleasurable feeling many times, and a lot
of times I don't feel much as I am
thrusting. Could it be nerve damage? I
am circumsized since birth, so that could
be an issue. I'm out of options.
