Youth Importence What Can I Do? Posted: 12-04-03 14:07pm


Hi- i found this place hopefully looking for an answer to an important serious question. I will try and give alittle backround info. Anyways over a year ago I broke up with my long time girlfriend, when I was 19. (i'm 20 now) the sex was great, I always had lots of stamini and great erections, and so on I was very healthy physcially and sexually. I had sex a few other times not long after we broke up and it was fine (with other girls), everything was great. Then I sort of went into a depressive state and did not want to be around people. I didn't have sex for 9 months? I messed around with a few chicks but never came close to sex. Now I have a girlfriend and the 1st time we had sex, it didn't feel like a had a complete erection and after about 15 minutes it went soft. Same thing happened everytime, I can't get a full erection and it doesn't last long enough. I didn't know what to do but I wanted to have good sex, so I ended up buying levitra online. Well it works great and I have great stamina and erections when I use it, we have awesome sex. To me this is only a temporary solution though, I would like my normal stamina back and to be healthy again. Otherwise I am in great shape physically and mentally, so i'm not sure what the problem could be. I heard over-masturbation could lead to problems and I wasn't sure if this was a myth or not? Since I used to masturbate too often i'm afraid. Well i'm hoping someone could help me out as to what could be wrong and how I can get my normal sexual health back. Thanks

I had the same exact situation and the same exact problem except im 21 now. Did you ever find an answer or what was wrong? I tried yohimbe but that worked only a little better. Has it gone away for you?

I'm 65 years old and have the problem you young guys have. Mine I think is from medication. I think yours is from mental depression which can cause those effects. Masterbation is something we all do and I did it often as I had little or few girl friends. As far as I know, it does not cause any side effects. Those things you hear are not true. All of us at times have problems in the get it up and perform department. Have faith in yourself and allow your feelings to be your feelings. Expect some failures, learn how to work around them. The girl can work wonders with you if she will. If you trust the girl, she'll understand.

Thanks for the reply but I used to have sex all the time before this depression thing hit. I could go for 2 hours and almost every day. I never masturbated a lot even before I started having sex. I even had trouble slipping during sex before this depression thing sometimes. Now I have trouble staying hard for more than 15 minutes and even then its not very hard and cant work sometimes or everyday. Its embarrassing and I don't know what in the world happened. I don't know any 19 or 20 year old that has to use levietra. I stopped the depression drugs and I am fine with the depression thing now, but the sex thing just wont fix its self. I mean before the whole depression thing I could'nt keep it down. Has anyone heard of this before or know what I can do to function properly again, I even tried things to kick up sex drive and it did not work... Any advise or imput would help

Very Serious Health Issue Posted: 09-15-04 05:44am


Dude, if you are young and you have persistent or progressive impotence then you are in trouble. Erection with masturbation usually vanishes later that the rest of them. That however is not very reassuring on long term, because that also will disapear in time. Definitely use cialis and on a regular basis, enough that you would function normally every day (eg spontaneous night and morning erections). It doesn't have to be just for sex. Your problem is part of a greater one that is ignored on purpose by the doctors (urologists and cardiologists) and the media. The reason is that so far it cannot be stopped (i am not talking cure here), but cialis (get a prescription) may help in delaying the process of the disease. This problem if appears under 45 yrs is due to heart and arterial congenital defects that will cause an accelerated degradation of your arteries, heart, lungs, etc. It is a circulation problem not a stress problem although it may seems so and the doctors (especially the psychiatrists will swear so). You will be fine for about 15-17 yrs from other symptoms (counting since you had problems while mastuirbating), but when somebody will refer you to a psychiatrist be careful. You may be close to being committed involuntary into a psychiatric hospital so that they will hide your suffering from the naive society. Once you are in that state, you have no civil rights, nobody (doctors, lawyers, media) will help you. You will be lost in a black hole from where nobody escapes. Sorry to give you the bad news but it's better that people know about it in advance instead of finding out too late that they are hunted like animals by psychiatrists years later. Hopefully, by then the doctors and the governments will become more humane in treating people like you when the time comes. Therefore, enjoy your life now as much as possible, and don't forget that the doctors are not always your friends. Ps: you should be worried when cialis doesn't work anymore, you become dizzy, have respiratory problems, pressure in your ears, have pain and neurologic symptoms, etc. When that happens don't go to any hospital, especially a large one.

Same problem, no answers, good to see others voicing issue Posted: 03-19-08 11:53am


I'm 27 and have the same issue/scenario as listed above. Was with my ex for 5 years and sex was great, amazing, and I performed effortlessly and was in full control. It's been almost two years now since we broke up, and I have a new girlfriend, of 3 months, that I find even more attractive (on many levels) than the ex, but I cannot get erect with her without the help of ED drugs. Masturbation is weak and short as well. I don't want to depend on ED drugs. I do not have natural erections anymore, and very rarely have sexual fantasies. I almost feel as though I'm becoming asexual. It is quite troubling. Right after breakup with the 5 year ex, I could perform fine with other women, had 5 different partners in the 6 to 8 months after. Then, all of the sudden, the erections just stopped -- over a 2 day period. It was quite dramatic and noticeable, as I was dating a girl at the time and this issue caused us to split. It's now been a year and stamina seems to be getting worse. In the last year I've taken up meditation, seen a litany of doctors, therapists, hypnotherapists, accupuncturists -- while they all make me feel good on the mental level, has not improved the ED. I just hope there is a doctor out there that is taking notice of these forum threads I'm beginning to see across the internet, and hopefully studying this issue of young male, abrupt loss of sexual function. If so, please respond to this thread . . . I'd be a willing participant in any study to discover the cause or find a cure.
