Sexual Health - Men Forum - First Time With Viagra And Some Thoughts On That

Hello all. Hopefully you still remember me as the "cycle man." (i've described my problem too many times. If you are new or forget, please refer to my other posts.) thank you in advance for any help or comments.

So about 2 weeks ago, the cycle went on but altered a bit: the horny period only lasted for a day, as opposed to the usual 4 or 5 days. Since i've been having some stomach problem, I went to see a doc a few times. Kinda mentioned my erection problem and worries along the way and she decided to look into it. I did a lab for prolactin, which turned out perfectly normal. I've done labs for testosterone, thyroid and blood sugar previously and they were all fine. Considering my cycling behavior, she suggested the possibility of some kind of depression or anxiety (could be but unlikely to me). But a mild dose of purepac (for anxiety) didn't help at all. She gave some samples of lexapro to try (which I think is a stronger drug) and was going to refer me to an endocrinologist in a month (this looks right to me). Sadly, I don't have insurance where I live now. So that's been put off. She prescribed me three tablets of 50 mg viagra.

I took one at 10:50 today. An hour later (which is the best time according to viagra), I tried masturbating. Only difference was probably that it stayed hard a lil easier, and softened slower if I stopped my manual job. However, it still wasn't 100% hard and didn't give me the horny feeling that I would have in horny days (which I think is what makes for rock-hard erections). I ejaculated, disappointed. It did seem to stay kinda hard afterwards though, rather than go soft immediately like it usually does.

One and a half hours later I decided to go again during viagra's effective period. I also switched to some new kind of porn I haven't looked at in a while. It got harder this time (still not rock hard like horny days) but was still pretty numb. However it was much better than not being hard enough. I would say the second time was satisfactory. Ejaculated and it again stayed hard longer.

Overall, viagra definitely improves blood flow to penis for the fact that my penis stayed hard somewhat easier and longer. But it absolutely didn't solve my problem. I think the key is I don't have a good libido and sensation today (which isn't one of the horny days). So my conclusion is my vascular system is fine, and maybe so is the neurological system except I can't explain the numbness. So it corroborates my guess: something wrong with the hormones. Low libido, and my bad sensation in penis may be because of that.

So does anyone know if morning erections are related to hormones? I don't get them anymore. Please only answer if you know for sure.

Thanks for reading it's kinda long. It finally looks like an endocrinologist is where I will go someday.
