Erectile Dysfunction - Suicidal - Please Please Help!
Posted: 11-18-05 16:13pm

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

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....
