Diabetes and ED

[chicagosam]

I am so grateful for each of you who has input to this topic. It has been educational as well as touching to see the care from the members of this forum.
Sam, as I PM'd you before, feel free to PM me any time to talk if you want, and DC thank you for continuing to give very educational posts about this topic.
I hope, if nothing else came from this , it will help other men seek the medical attention they need before to much damage is done.
Once again, thank you all.

We all owe you a huge thank you, HoneyDew, for bringing this to the attention of LPSG membership via this thread. I suspect that there are many more diabetics on this board than will admit to it. This was an important thread. Thank you for letting me be a part of it. If telling my story was a help to anyone, then it was worth revealing it.

Let me also thank you for your offer and for the wonderful Private Message you sent me, along with the same from DC and HollyBlue! I will be writing back to all of you over the weekend. Thank you to the many who have offered their support and kind words. Worry less about me than the ones that are not seeking treatment or, for that matter, are unaware that they have this disease.

My best to everyone,

Sam

Nothing to add to this thread except a HUGE round of applause to Sam for his eloquent and brave post. Sam has demonstrated another affirmation of what the "S" in LPSG stands for. Amazing.

I won't humiliate myself any further by advertising my batting average, but I will say there was a bittersweet irony in being mentioned in Who on LPSG LOOKS LIKE THEY WOULD BE GOOD IN BED? and knowing the reality of what I face daily.

This was a remarkably brave and thoughtful post, Sam. Thanks for the stark honesty. At the same time, I am not sure there was anything ironic about you appearing in the "Who looks like they'd be good in bed" thread. Knowing that a good time in bed depends on a great deal more than erections, I'd guess that you still more than qualify.

The funny thing was that I was still as vital as I was at 18 until this hit. The damage has been done and now all focus must be in maintaining what is left. So I continue to work on blood sugar control to see if I can get it down. If that can be achieved, I get the happy hardon pills. Yeehaw! I told my Doctor that I wanted the one that would give me the longest erection possible because i plan to enjoy every minute or hour of it. Even a day might be nice! Some of the methods suggested in the posts above do help. Stimulation regardless of ejaculation helps. Cockrings help. Try this one. Sleep. Lack of stress. Exercise. Maintaining a positive outlook on life. Having a supportive network of friends and people who care about you. Being able to find humor in this on your most difficult day.

And a cure for all of us who have diabetes would be nice, too!

I want to be the "fluffer in that porn flick". I'll bring the cock rings, the porn, and a few "best deals" :wink:. The only "sugar" you'll be concerned for that moment about is: How are you gonna get saliva stains, watermarks and cum stains out of the sheets and your manties? You will get some sleep after all that sexercise. :wink:
