I got a call from my doctor and my prolactin levels are normal. My counselor said there is nothing more she can really do for me and she has no idea why I have ed. What options do I have now. My question is how can I gain confidence to have sex if I can't even masturbate?

When you say counselor, you mean like sex counselor. Correct?

Yeah a sex counselor, I tried a marriage counselor and that didnt really help much. I think I mentioned before I got my prolactin levels tested and they are normal. Is there any more tests I get done, like hormone tests? My options now are vascular studies and a sex counselor. I have seen many doctors and urologists, so I am guessing this is my last hope. Also, I am on wellbutrin and another person mentioned justs to relax and stop masturbating and things should just come back on there own?

I kind of think the same way. Most people have sex problems and they jump straight to the meds, when there easier, free, natural ways of taking care of many of the problems. Taking a break from masturbation from a while might not be to bad of an idea. Give it a rest for a few weeks, and see how you're doing then. Don't forget though, that you should ejaculate atleast once every 2-3 weeks to keep your prostate healthy.

What would happen if I just go without masturbation for months until my sex drive comes back or if it ever will. Also, not that I am considering it at this point, but what are my options if therapy dosent work? Am I screwed and unable to have kids? Even though my testosterone is normal, is there any hormone supplements to take to give me a boast? What about steriods? Any advice

I would advise against going without masturbating for months unless you are still regularly ejaculating through sex. Are you on any other medications other than those that you are taking in an attempt to fix the pe problems? Do you feel that you are depressed often about something? Can you still ejaculate through masturbation or no? If yes, then you could still have kids.

I use to have sex with my girlfriend, and I know it sounds stupid and immature but I broke up with her because of the ed.I couldnt tell her because I live in a college dormitory where everyone knows everybody. I I only had sex with her when I was on viagra, and when I tried sex without it I got blood flowing but not enough for penetration. I am on wellbutrin 150 mg twice daily

I would say slow you masturbation habits to once about every 2 weeks or every 12-16 days. This way you will still ejaculate, but you may be helping to improve your pe problem.

I know this sounds crazy, but if this ed never goes away should I get a implant of some type. I lost a girl I loved because of this and being a guy, this is a tough thing to deal with. Is it possible that I have permanent erectile dysfunciton for no reason and now I fighting a lost cause? Is there anyone out there that has not had a real hard erection in nearly two years with or without a woman and some how recovered? I feel alone in this situation with only doctors to talk to. Is there any other tests I should consider-like cancer, a tumor, nervous system disease anything?

Implants won't make you much bigger, you'll still have to get erect to see the full result.

Hey ccd, all of your advice has been very helpful. I am curious how do you know so much. Are you a doctor nurse, or do you just study health

This Ain't Permanent Posted: 11-19-05 17:56pm


First things first, you wanted to know if this will go on forever. The answer is no. Absolutley not, there is no way this ed problem will last your entire lifetime. Don't even consider it. It might take a long time but eventually your body will step in and take over, a mans sexual function can only be surpressed for so long before they eventually kick start themselves. The problem is not creating yourself a complex in the mean time. My concern is with wellbutrin you need to work on getting off the wellbutrin since a major symptom of that pill is ed. Nothing you do will work while on that crap you need to start weening yourself off the medicine. Once you remove that factor you can try wacking off less, about once a week. But most importantly you cannot try to cure ed while taking a medicine whose side effect is ed. No matter your libido anti depressants can and do kill your members ability to perform. What I did was I accepted it, I said so medical question what? Whatever? I stopped caring about wether it would work or not I literally got pissed at my penis. Only after I managed to calm down was I able to start masterbating again. Little by little i'm getting better and better. The most important thing is to just not stress it, I know it's hard took me months and I still have days where I wanna just shoot myself but you have to drag through those days. It takes a long time but you need to stop doubting yourself. You will be c ured, this wont last a lifetime but it'll take time.

Thanks human, I try what you said. People say is hould stay on the wellbutrin because even though some say it is an ssri, it does not effect serotonin levels, rather dopamine and other chemicals, but I could be wrong. I have also heard that there is a low risk of effecting libido with wellbutrin and it may also increase libido. Is there any anti-anxiety drug out there that has little sexual side effects because I notice that on wellbutrin my heart seems to always be beating fast and shake at times.

I agree, ask the Dr. About the wellbutrin, try to go to a naturalist or a herbal shop and talk to them about the situation. Something from the past could be comming back to sort of haunt you, try checking out a psychologist about e.M.D.R., it has helped a lot of people and they do not use drugs, it is generally done by knee tapping finger movement and it is a great release, you can look it up if you want, psychologists to me are better to me than psychiatrists because they do not use a lot of drugs and I have nothing against psychiatrists either. Good luck to you on whatever you decide to do but try to stay positive!

Hmmm.....How about this: just plain old don't think about it for like a week. I have had wierd problems for the last month or so with the lack of ability to get my urethra hard. I started to become very depressed and this girl that I had been talking to since the start of school could notice, "extreamly noticable" is what she said. Just take your mind off of it fully. Go out and play catch with your dogs, perhaps take a crap in your neighbors yard (just kidding) or go see a cool movie (harry potter, as I have heard, was prety damn cool). After you take your mind off of it for about a week (i did this last week) come back to these forums and don't start another post, just read through the first like 10 pages of posts that relate to your problem. I can swear it works. Yesterday, I probably had the hardest and fullest erection that I have had in around a year or so. Ohhhh and also, durring this next week, try to masterbate less then twice and do plent of kiegals (sp. ??) then try it out. Beleive in your penis and it will beleive. I am not kidding here. Well, good luck to you! I have an essay to write so I gotta hit it!

hang in there man... things always get better. this might may be a bit late but appreciate wat ya got and the good things that life has to offer say, for example, a beautiful sunny day or the taste of good food. dedicate yourself to a hobby or sport. one of my close mates used to say whenever he felt down or troubled that he would start concentrating harder on his sport, which he loved, and everthing would get better by itself. and it always did. he went on to become really good at sport and leads a good life as well. life isnt all abou sex bro. i have suffered from ed too mate and its not nice. im tryna get thru it and be positive. hopefully things sort themselves out. all the best
