Erectile Dysfunction

[edsteph]

I am a 53 year old male who has been having erection problems for years now. I think I have had this problem all of my adult life. I have never been able to wear a condom because I couldnt stay hard long enough to get one on. While I was in High School I masterbated frequently as I could maintain an erection when I was by myself. I was never able to get or maintain an erection for intercourse until I met my wife. I was usually able to get and maintain to have intercourse with my wife however since I was thirty that hasn't been the case. I currently ise Viagra or Levitra, the strongest doses and even they wont help me to maintain an erection long enough. I can still masterbate most of the time especially after taking Viagra. I wake up in the mornings with an erection usually hard enough that I could pound nails. The problem is it just goes away. I have been to two different urologists but all they do is give me prescriptions for either Viagra or Levitra. I take the maximum dose and even try 1 1/2 pills at a time and I still have no gurantee that I can stay hard. I go two or three weeks at a time with no orgasm which causes much frustration. I wish I knew why this is happening.

I assume you have no other medical problems like diabetes or hypertension Also that you have had a testosterone level done and it is normal. You might want to try a combination of cialis and muse, good luck

I have had many medical problems including surgery to remove a tumor ant 2 years old and a tumor removed from my brain at 5. I ahve also had two heart attacks in my life but before them I did have erection problems. They have not got worse or better with viagra. Levitra seems to work even worse with no response. I have not tried Cialis as of yet. I have an appontment to go to the Boston Medical Group and was wondering if anyone has ever heard of them and are they legitimate. This has gone on for too long and if I have to have a penile pump installed I guess I will. I just wish someone would tell me if it is a medical or psychological problem

Given your list of problems it sounds like it is medical, good luck

You may have atherosclerosis (of the penis) or high blood pressure Boston Medical seem legitimate but it's very costly, also bear in mind you are signing up for a course of injections, and there is no way of knowing initially if the strength of the dose they prescribe is the right one for you. Be careful. Good luck.

I guess these ED meds work differently with different people, i myself get the best results with Cialis. Used to take Viagra before, but few months ago ran into some info about Cialis at www.straightmansweb.com and decided to give it a try and have been pleased with it. Well anyway good luck to you! Hopefully youll be able to find something that works for you...

I have to ask you this: What do you think of when you do your best when masturbating?
What I am getting at here is possibly at the root of my problem also. When I think of certain things, I seem to do MUCH better. I seem to need to have a certain feeling about my relation to my partner, whether real or imagined. And I've made some progress lately by identifying that mental attitude, which leads to the best erections.
I had a horrible problem over 10 years ago, but was surprised when I just started going with a good woman that was VERY patient with me. She really made me feel there was no hurry, and WHATEVER I wanted to do with her was OK. This "whatever" part is very important to me, a woman that mades me feel she is really giving herself to me. But more on that later, that is a whole subject in itself(by the way, ALL the really good women have that attitude). And in two weeks, I went from NO erection to pretty decent sex.
In two months, well, it was the whole program. I was very happy with her.
So, one part of the equation is the woman. If you can get it up whenever you want, for as long as you want, then sex is not a problem, but the "relationship" might still be a problem.
At any rate, if it isn't physical with you, the emotional part is not so easy to get professional help on. But, like I implied above, you could start with a heartfelt chat with your woman, and tell her you need her to treat you really sweetly for a while. Ask her if she doesn't think you're worth it?
I hope you are getting some good advice through this forum, I just signed on today, and I hope to get some improved results myself. And we can all be as annonymous as we like.

Did you go to Boston Clinic yet? I can tell you all about what worked for me there 10 years ago. Their thing, the MOST effective to handle about 80% of men, right away, is the prostaglandin self-injections.
Contrary to your one respondent, I didn't consider them expensive, based on results.
I posted a lengthy reply about my experience to some gal in this ED section.

This question is for Jack. You said you went to Boston medical and they gave you prostaglandin to inject and it worked. My question is do you have to keep using it? or does it help the bloodflow after taking for a while to where you dont need the injections anymore, thanks

Reply from Jack67: Yes, it's about the only one that's theraputic. It can
help quite a bit, where you can ween yourself off it in months.
As a footnote, I took my first shot of Depo-Testosterone last night, 200mg. Two of my
friends love it, the one stopping after 6 months with xlnt results.
I believe this will prove to be the ultimate solution for MY problems, which
are not as bad as some men. It is more natural, a shot in the butt once ever
two weeks.
