You're right when he says that the injections work for many. The injections can only be used at intervals of 48 hours and a maximum of 3 times per week. The correct application is also important.
This also right about the side effects (priapism, fibrosis and scarring) can occur so it is important to have medical supervision.

Thanks you guys for this great conversation... I want to respond to a few comments:

Possibly he might be, but I've actually talked with men who have experienced ED while in their 20's (medical issues can occur at any age and cause ED.)



I'm interested in the injections. I will talk to my husband about them. The comment in red is curious.. my response would be "thank you for fucking me for an hour" ... is this a problem with your wife?? (I personally could go for hourS at a time.... so that really sounds like fun. Unless it causes the guy to be uncomfortable in some way. Cumming is not so much an issue with me if he doesn't want to. Of course I'd love for him to cum, but not necessary.



I'm glad you've reached a point where you can live happily and be satisfied with your situation. Acceptance is important. (I am trying. really, but we are still in the seeking solutions stage.) I wonder, are you married, and if so, has your wife/partner reached the acceptance stage as well?

thank you all!

Mine girllfrind has accepted mine ED, but I know she has sometimes real seks with another.

For some reason drinking hard liquor makes me no good. Can't get it up.

He never drank a drop of alcohol until age 50. Then found out he couldn't handle it. It would hit him before he knew it ... so .. he doesn't drink.

But that's a good thought.

Is he getting erections during REM sleep? If so his problem is strictly mental.
If not then the problem is physical.

Also watching too much porn kills the erections


I have very often rolled over at night to reach for him ... soft as can be. He used to get erections during sleep. But I've not noticed any in a good while.

porn? we watch together. He is never away from me (except when he travels for work). When we are home together we are "together" him watching tv and me usually watching and chatting. We only watch porn occasionally as a precursor to foreplay. But not always.

but food all of this is food for thought. I'm not negating any of it. Thanks!

Getting off Porn if that at all is being viewed is key. Also the advice to not touch the junk makes a big difference. I have done over 90 days of abstinence and again that give control back to us over masturbating males. You sound like you wouldn't have a problem relieving him weekly, so I would try that if he's game. Try a week, then go two, or try a whole month. I still am recovering, but have had wood in the night now. PS I know its contradictory to not touching your junk, but jelqs can help as well.

Betty,
It seems to me that while eating right, drinking less, exercising more..... are all good things, your husband's problem is medical and that non-medical attempts at solutions will have only marginal positive effects, if any. Believe me. I spent fifteen years trying to push a string and it was a waste of fifteen years.
Is your husband open to going forward on the medical route. It has been about nine months since my implant surgery and it has been wonderful to be able to stay erect no matter what. I can use condoms, change position, wait indefinitely, etc. No worries at all! I am so much happier. My husband is so much happier. We are so much happier together. It's a life transforming surgery for men with ED. I would be glad to communicate directly with you or your husband if you PM me.
Check out the following video. The doctor is my surgeon. The patient is not me.

I heard those Vaccu pumps help to get an instant erection, I don't know why your doctor opted for meds when there are other proven methods. Good luck Betty and I hope he can restore his confidence..

At 56 years old, it is more of an regular occurrence nowadays. Doctor says he would like me to lose weight, exercise more, get blood pressure under control... all things he says that could have a reason why ED exists for me. My wife is understanding and with a recent hysterectomy, her sexual desires have diminished so we are sort of on equal grounds and we are okay with it... part of life. I have tried OTC supplements and most are short lived semi's... nothing rock hard like my younger days. I have purchased a pump and have used it, but that seems to be a temporary fix as well. One of the posters made a comment that if the thoughts and desire isn't there, it could be the underlying problem. I do believe this to be somewhat factual... both my wife and I know where we stand in our sexual lives, and it could be the cause for the lack of hardness. But like most men, I don't want to give up... I'd love to get hard again and stay hard. Always open to ideas from LPSG'ers.

Betty I can tell you i'm older and I bought a treadmill and it makes my erections harder and fatter. I read somewhere its all about bloodflow so I bought a treadmill i do 20 minutes every other day. I end up growing up to my chest at night when I wake up.

we have a treadmill and he has recently started back using it. We kinda encourage each other. We get up at 4 am and do a 40 min workout. Him on the treadmill and me on the elliptical. Let's see if that changes things

And, I don't think it his desire has actually faded.. I think he has redirected it so that it doesn't bother him as much. When we talk he always talks about how desirable I am ... and we talk about sex hella lot more than we actually have it.

his doctor prescribed him double strength viagra and that seems to help. He just has to remember to take it :b

Have either of you explored the natural supplement route. I was many testosterone boosting supps while bodybuilding and surprisingly a lot of products work really well. I worked at The Vitamin Shoppe for some years and through my continued experience I can suggest the following:

http://www.lpsg.com/5281474-post6.html - Any ?'s here lemme know plz.

As far as exercise. What you posted is not gonna be enough and the treadmill alone will not do it. Everyman should be lifting weights if he wants healthy erections and overall good health because it really helps. Compound movements are the best:

Squats, Deadlifts, Clean and Press, Walking or Standing Lunges and Squats, Squats and more Squats. Doing these excercises maximizes blood flow and will increase testosterone and growth hormone production.

The next thing I would try would be to take the focus off sex. Don't talk about it for a long while. Just let it go. Even though your understanding..... believe me it's probably killing him inside. He prob feels totally helpless and lost. You should try to pleasure yourself for a while and leave him out of it totally. Maybe take a shower together every now and then and touch him down there just to play and see if you get a reaction but don't make it a thing like "i'm touching you here to try and get you hard for sex right now". And, when he sleeps or right when he wakes up stroke him and see what you get..... again, not a "i'm stroking you cuz I want sex right now" just a "i'm stroking you cuz I still love your cock and I just wanna feel it". Hope that makes sense.

It sounds like your doing a great job as is and are really understanding. He is lucky to have you at his side cuz another might not be so understanding and helpful.

Next, diet.....VERY IMPORTANT.

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate and not just water. Foods that hydrate you should be in abundance....... think plenty fruit. Watermelon is the best as it has high amounts of citrulline which your body converts to arginine.
Cut out the fried foods and as much processed food as possible.

Hope this wasn't too long and is very helpful and the best to both of you!

You say he travels for work. Does he masturbate while out of town? I traveled for work when I was younger and masturbated frequently in motels ( nothing better to do? ) and it had a big impact on my erection quality when I was home on the weekends with the wife.

I had ED for a couple of years when I was 60-62. Always never a problem before that age to have an erection. Then I read about citrulline, and erections returned after a couple weeks. In the last two years, age 63-65, I've had an erection every time my wife and I have had sex except for twice. We have sex about eight to ten times a month.

I take 2250mg per day (750mg in the morning and the rest in the afternoon before my workout at the gym).

I totally understand the emotional distraction of ED. It can be debilitating.

Viagra and Cialis also worked for me, but didn't like planning ahead for sex, and also didn't like the side effects.

If you have questions, glad to answer them.

really no good to be horny as hell without being able to fully enjoy it. We know the feelz.

Pills don't work on my hubs. He's Superman and nothing can penetrate him. (just wish he could penetrate me.) :);)
