I'm 47 and i've suffered erectile
dysfunction now for nearly 10 years but it
gets worse and worse! The trouble is, I
have a stronger interest and desire for
sex now than I had in my 20's but I can't
get an erection strong enough to
penetrate!!!
I can still ejaculate, but it's through a
semi-flaccid hose-pipe and I always end up
feeling disgusted and ashamed of myself
for not being a "real man"!!!
To add insult to injury, I had a mild
heart attack a few months ago so my gp has
told me viagra and related drugs are now
firmly off limits!!!
Please, please help - I do feel as though
life is no longer worth it! The only
thing that has kept me going is the
knowledge that i'm not alone!

Hi, I just wanted to tell you that you are
more of a "real man" than 99% of the males
that I know. It takes alot of courage to
come in a room and talk about issues like
this... Having a erection isn't what
makes a man...A complete nucklehead can do
that and still act like a little boy...It
is the maturity and character of a male
that makes a "man" and I believe that you
have that character. Although sex is a
great thing to experience it isn't the
only thing in the world...There are other
things out there to live for...I wish you
all of the best of luck

At least you had some years to enjoy
yourself. I feel the same and my problem
hasnt improved and iam 20. I got to enjoy
my sex life for a few years and now it is
gone. Drugs use to work while the ed
occured and now they dont work at all for
some reason. I know what it is like, I
have ended many relationships because of
this and sometimes suicide seems good when
you think about your future being without
a girl. But you have to pick up
somewhere, think of people in wheelchairs,
drug addicts, mentally disabled people.
Things could still get worse than they
are. I fell into drinking myself to sleep
on weekends, trying ecstasy, any drug I
didn't care, like what did I have to live
for right. Wrong, the ecstasy made me
forget all the great memories I had, it
was hard to read, thiink or anything.
That was two weeks ago, and I am almost
back to normal and now I realize things
can get worse, and I have seen urologists,
counselors, general doctors. I am
putting my hope that sex therapists can
help me and I got a referal for vascular
studies with uc davis, and after that I
dont know

Redzonebikes - thanks for that! It is
indeed comforting to know that you are not
alone. You, with your life ahead of
you, obviously will dream of a happy
family life - wife, kids, the whole thing
- and I really hope you can get it
sorted!
In that respect, I am fortunate - I have
been married for 24 years and have two
children of 19 and 16 years old. The
thing is, I want to stay married and this
ed thing really does put a strain on
things!
To begin with, my wife was wondering if I
was "playing away" - now she thinks it's
because I no longer find her attractive
(certainly not the case as her good looks
and elegance have not deteriorated with
age!)
how long I can put up with this, I don't
know! Like you, I see people in
wheelchairs or badly deformed bodies - or
the lad from liverpool who's skin just
kept falling off - just getting on with
life and putting up with their lot and I
get an enormous "guilt trip!"
......Howver, if anyone out there could
help us, it would be gratefully
appreciated!

Try eating and excise right, your heart is
a muscle as well as the rest of your body.
Seafood, eggs (raw), and peanuts are all
high in protein. I can drink orange
juice with two raw eggs and I ready to go.
I tried pills but doesn't work all the
time. Your health is the key to good
sex....
