Q: Neurological erectile dysfunction
asked by: Wamba on October 14th, 2009

Hi guys,
When it comes to the bedroom, I find it difficult to sometimes get an erection but invariably I find it hard to maintain. I find restricting the blood flow from my penis only holds firmness until I let go and with a soft and weak erection, I find sex quite painful and a bit daunting.

From a very early age I think I was probably addicted to masturbation, masturbating daily for weeks at a time. Hell, I was so young when I started I was shooting blanks!
Im certain I have been addicted to masturbation, as Im suffering from the classic symptoms(Floaters in vision, blurry vision, hairloss etc). My sleeping patterns are also bad, usually getting to sleep in the early hours. I doubt my diet is helping either!



Im pretty certain this has had an adverse effect on my penis, as now I have lost a large amount of sensitivity in the head of my penis and after extended periods of friction, I begin to feel a burning sensation in the head of my penis.
In my younger days, I used to have very firm and frequent erections, now I dont seem to get morning-wood anymore(Rarely, after a night of drinking) and it takes a while to build-up before sex. My sex drive has decreased greatly, but I expect thats natural at this age anyway?
I find that the head of my penis dose not erect and fill with blood much at all. Sometimes I find that my penis is erect and full but quite bendy; and at other times, I find that its not fully erect but alot more ridged.


I think my E.D is rooted in neurological damage in my penis and am pretty afraid to have a go at sex without a condom as I think it will hurt. I also noticed that when my erections are weaker, I dont last as long in the bedroom, which can be an embarrassing one to deal with! I think I have a larger-than-average penis, so I get the impression girls dont realise that I dont have a full erection during intercourse, but its obviously making me quite unhappy that I cant properly enjoy nights in with my beloved girlfriend.
Its usually right before insertion that the greatest loss of firmness occurs.

What I find odd, is that on the rare occasions I do awake with morning wood, my erection is much firmer than when I am generally aroused before intercourse. However, its strength quickly dissipates.


Is it likely that im suffering from Neurological E.D?
Is there anything I can do myself to repair the damage?
Should I see my GP and is there anything he can do for me?
Are there any exercises I can employ to maintain a firmer one?

(Not too keen on the idea of using supplements)

Much love

Eye floaters, Blurry Vision, Hairloss and Weak erection these are the classic symptoms of sexual exhaustion from excessive ejaculations. I'm in the process of healing myself but I have negated my own progress by not fully kicking the habit yet. This condition is almost if not fully reverseable. Good Diet, Celebacy and Excercise is part of the regimen to recovery anywhere from about 4 months up to about 2 years depending on how severe your condition is. If your in an exhausted state and your not allergic to fish oil finding yourself a good quality Omega-3,6 and 9 complex would be a good start 1-2 grams a day. You would need to get to bed between 10pm-6am if possible to take full advantage of human growth hormone and since your just 20yrs old you should be abundant in that. You can run to the doctors if you want to if you've got good health insurance but most peoples blood work does come back normal. Western Medicine does not recognize sexual exhaustion so you may have to find a good TCM specialist. You should still get tested for a hormonal deficiency and not just the bare bones a full panel also a liver function test. Your libido will return once you start replacing dopamine if you can still orgasm your in good shape but if you can't then this is going to take some abstinence and daily intake of Essential Fatty Acids. Many people use various different herbs to overcome SE. Its possible you may have abraded nerves in the penis and possible collagen scaring but this can be reversed with creams like the ones they use to treat pyronies. There is hope you will just have to get the will power and dedication to get there. I highly recommend you to the "oldandsold" website just google as I have typed this and it will come up. "THE TRUTH ABOUT MASTURBATION" it will give you the reasurance and hope your looking for and how to recover. You can also read George Miller Beards book on Sexual Neurasthenia/Nervous Exhaustion for a more detailed compendium on this issue. I don't recommend all of the 19th century treatments but atleast they did recognize the condition.

I've never encountered any information about physical symptoms to sex addiction. Can you tell me where your information comes from?

It's hard to say if difficulty with erection is normal for your age as you didn't mention your age. I'm guessing if you're writing to the forum it doesn't feel like you should be having this problem at your age. Regardless of your erection difficulties you shouldn't be experiencing pain at any age. The pain itself could be causing you to have erectile issues.

Are you having the same erectile issues and pain with both sex and masturbation or is your experience significantly different between the two? Is the skin of your penis abraded, any visible scar tissue or discoloration?

I seem to be suffering more pain during masturbation than sex (I suspect due to the lack of lubricating fluids?), but I would usually stop masturbating for a while to let any pain subside if there is any.
I believe there could be some discolouration, a couple of mildly darker areas on the head of my penis.

Woke up with a rather hard one this morning. I think it had something to do with smoking less than savoury substances (I am not frequent in this, i doubt its the cause) last night.

Oh, and how long would one be required to abstain from sex roughly?

Thanks for the quick replies, guys.

How long you should be abstaining from ejaculation is a call a doctor should really be making for you. It sounds like the pain is coming from friction but if there isn't visible scarring. I'm concerned that you're causing nervous tissue damage or possibly worse. I think you really need to have a medical professional visually examine what's going on sooner than later. I also think you should avoid masturbation or sex that's painful to you until an MD can evaluate the risks it imposes on you.
