Ok this is a long story but I really need to tell someone and get some opinions so thanks for bearing with me.
First of all I am a 22 year old straight male, 6'2" 195 lbs., don't smoke, work out consistently, high testosterone (I've been tested) and eat healthily (more or less). I have never been ridiculously potent (long recovery time, not a lot of sperm), but I had always been able to at least get it up (before this problem). About a year and a half ago, my girlfriend at college was coming back from a long weekend away so we hadn't had sex for about 5 days. I really wanted her, couldn't wait for her to get back, but when the time came, for whatever reason it just wouldn't work. I was understandably upset, as this was the first time this had happened without a good reason (I should mention it had also happened the first time I ever hooked up with my two girlfriends to that point, which I attributed to performance anxiety and which worked itself out quickly both times), but I wasn't devastated by any means. I chalked it up to a fluke, but from that point on, it became very difficult to achieve an erection with her. There were no significant changes or stresses in my life, so I kind of figured that I wasn't really attracted to her anymore, which was partially true anyway. Anyway, we broke up, but the same exact thing happened with the next girl I hooked up (for about 2 weeks) - I could get partially hard but not hard enough or for enough time for penetration, and sometimes I wouldn't get hard whatsoever. At this point this was really getting to me, so I went to my doctor who prescribed Cialis. That worked wonders - I got better erections, better recovery time, and was more confident in bed than I had ever felt before. I got a new girlfriend with whom I almost NEVER had the old recurring problem, and I figured it was behind me now that I had Cialis. Well, I recently broke up with that girl (about 2 months ago) and about a month ago started hooking up with another girl. We started pretty slowly, but when it was time to get in bed, I couldn't get it up... and I had popped a 20 mg Cialis a few hours before just to make sure (before that I could get a good erection off a 5 mg). Once again, I got a semi for about 5 minutes but when it came down to it it was totally gone.
Here's the weird thing: for about a week after that I had the same problem with her, but then for 3 days (still using the Cialis of course), I was able to get ROCK hard, go forever, and go more often. I had actually just began to take GNC Maca Men or whatever, and attributed it to that. I told myself it had just performance anxiety again, and all my confidence was restored. Unbelievably though, the problem has come back again, about a week ago, and has persisted since. Sometimes I can get it up enough for sex - with a 20 mg Cialis, 15 minutes of foreplay, a blowjob to get it hard, and quick penetration to make sure it doesn't go down - but with Cialis I used to be able to get hard and stay hard after about a minute or less of heavy making out.
I have been to the GP consistently, a urologist twice, and am going to a specialist next week for (hopefully) a Doppler test. I switched to Levitra last night, but that was just as ineffective. I really am baffled as to why this is happening, particularly why Cialis simply stopped working when it used to work SO well why I had that little 3-day island when it worked just as well as it used to. By the way, I can get hard to porn but I can't get it up by myself without visual aid. I have pretty much stopped looking at porn because I thought that could've been a problem, but it hasn't helped. Also I don't ever get morning wood unless I had a Cialis the night before. I should mention I am a very confident guy in almost every area, but this is really starting to take its toll. If any of you guys has any ideas, suggestions, anything, I would love to hear them. Thanks...
