Terrified But Hopefull [s.o.s] Posted: 12-21-05 07:36am
Well, it happened to me!
I dont know why im writing this but it's
nice to see others having this problem.
It's hard to talk to anyone else about
this so I decided to throw it out here and
get some feedback. I 27 soon to be 28.
I've had anxiety and depression in the
past so I guess this shouldnt be such a
shocker but I never experience full
erectile dysfunction. Sure it happend
before a few times, but never to this
extend.
I broke up with my a girl 5 months ago
after dating her for a month. A month
later I noticed fleshy bumps in my pubic
region. Freaked me out the whole time I
waited for the test results. Turned out
it was a case of molluscum. I felt lucky
in a way, since it's not a serious std but
never the less took 4 months and a great
amount of effort to clear up properly.
Needless to say I didnt have sex during
the entire time and fell into a mild
depression. Also fell into a cycle of
masterbation, excess masterbation... I
never had ed problems with masterbation
but there's never performance anxiety
associated with that.
Met a girl last week and after this long
wait I was happy to break the fast. We
went straight to it the night we met. No
waiting, more like a one nighter.
I was fairly drunk that night and by 4
a.M. I noticed close to no feeling down
there. It was very stressful and
although I had std's in my mind the whole
night I blamed it on the alcohol. Gave
her some stupid excuse and left. Wasnt
sure if she was gona call again but she
did. I invited her over, didnt drink a
drop even took vitamins and herbal stuff
like siberian ginsing to calm me down a
bit.
We went straight to it again, it started
out pretty good, I was fully erect and we
were still at foreplay. Then it literaly
went away as fast as it appeared. I was
sweating and numb. Went to the bathroom,
tried everything and I just couldnt get it
back. Got her to give me oral and while
it helped as soon as I put on the condom
it was gone. It goes without saying the
whole night was ruined and I feel a cold
shiver down my spine everytime I think
about it. This has never happend to me
before to this extend and while im blaming
it on work related anxiety, I still think
it might be physical aswell.
I have been feeling emotionaly exhausted
and frustrated lately and I was hopping
this change would brake this cycle....Boy
was I wrong!.... This has brought me
down further than anything else ive
experienced so far. Got 2 hours of sleep
last night and ive been exhausted, angry
and frustrated the whole day.
I visited a doctor and gota sample pack on
levitra today, it's my only safety net
right now but I know this isnt the way it
should be for a 27 year old.
I like to get any advice possible from you
guys out there. Doctors just precribe
drugs and thats never a real solution. I
have tried herbal supplements
before...Chrysin, tribulus, saw palmetto,
amino acids and others. Results have
been up and down for me, some days they
have helped but results arent consistent.
Im thinking of trying tongkat ali and
horney goar weed. If any of you have
goten results from any of these please
share your experience. Im changing my
diet aswell and reducing masterbation.
Sorry for writing so much...Looking
forward to getting some advice.

You're what is known as "sexually
exhausted." each time you ejaculate,
numerous chemicals are released from your
brain. It can take up to 72 hours for
these chemcials to be replenished. If
you don't give your body time to recover
after ejaculating, and continually
ejaculate, these chemicals won't be able
to replenish themselves. With a shortage
of these chemicals, you would likely feel
tired and unarroused; probably not that
interested in sex/masturbation. The
worst thing is that the lack of these
chemicals causes a "mild depression."
i would say, lay off the masutrbation
completely for 2-5 days, then slowly start
doing it again, but never excessively.
Keep a healthy diet and exercise up. Be
sure you get a good night's sleep each
night and I think within a week you will
see improvement.

Thanks for the reply.
I deffinatly need to work on my sleeping
schedule. I ususaly stay up late and get
little sleep. Also the time that this
occured was 3-4 a.M. Which probably isnt
the best time to be arroused. What kind
of diet do you recommend?

Im trying to figure out why my erections
fluctuate so much.
Like some days I have morning wood, others
I dont.
I usualy get the same amount of sleep and
have some what of a predictable diet and
lifestyle. Im trying to figure out if
there is a pattern to this so I can
perhaps prevent it from happening or make
it better. I think diet plays an
important role. Also hormone levels. Im
about to go get a full blood test done.
If it's hormonal changes that could be a
big issue. Might be caused by
irrigularity of certain glands such as the
thyroids.
I dont think this is the case but it might
be worth checking out...Crossing fingers.

it's common to have somewhat fluctuating
erections. Sometimes you are just
hornier than you are other times, or in a
different frame of mind. The time since
you last ejcaulted also plays a role...

Yeah. No doubt.
I remember when I was 16 I had erections
left and right. It was never a mystery.
I guess stress takes a tole on you afetr
years. I've cutt back alot on smoking
aswell. I think years of working on the
computer constantly starring at a radiated
screen has caught up with me. I need a
change.:)
