I suffered ED throughout my youth. I would lose my election as soon as I approached my partner’s vagjna, every time. I managed it a few times with one partner but otherwise I lost it every time. I was over thirty before I could perform every time. And I was OK then for more than twenty years. When I got to 55 I was masturbating more often (had discovered online porn) and I was often too drained to have sex with my partner. My problem returned and even with Viagra I found it difficult even to get an election with my partner although I find her very attractive. I gave up trying after a while, it was too embarrassing. I thought it might just be age and I tried every kind of renewed. Now I am in my mid 60s, it is ten years since I had proper sex. I still hope that I can do it again before I am just too old. I am finding even difficult to get a full erection when masturbating. I feel that something is wrong somewhere, my age doesn’t help but the complete loss of erectile function seems unlikely to be just age. I have no serious health condition
I’m think you can either get the solutions you seek,
Or at least hopefully an answer you can be ok with.
I would strongly suggest you speak to your doctor about this. At your age it is normal to see some loss of sexual function but not a complete inability to have sex. My father is your age, struggled with similar symptoms. It turns out he had very low testosterone levels. He’s on TRT now and it has been incredibly helpful for him. I’d also recommend Cialis as opposed to Viagra. I took Viagra for my ED issues and the medication didn’t work super well. Cialis on the other hand was a god send. I take a low dose (5-10mg) daily. It took a week or two to really kick in but once it did, I was getting erections like I was a teenager again. It completely restored my sexual confidence because I could get hard essentially whenever I wanted to. I obviously am not a medical professional and can’t guarantee that you will experience what I did. However, don’t lose hope. A lot of these issues are trial and error. Don’t just try one thing and assume that nothing will work for you. Work with your doctor to come up with possible solutions. I also see a sexual wellness therapist in addition to using this app. Both have been incredibly helpful.
I also recommend you seek some medical advice and get some checks done.
The above post has some very helpful advice. Yes, don’t give up. ED can be complicated and relational stuff can get into the mix. Communication is key. Some couples therapy with a sex and relationship therapist could be very helpful so you can both work on and co create your future intimacy, together. This can also really help with the overall satisfaction of a long term relationship. : )
Don’t hang yer boots up yet…. I’m in my 60’s and still “at it”
Mojo helped massively with spectatoring and getting out of my head, and general sexual confidence.
Cialis can be part of the answer, I like using it if I’m feeling a bit flat, and need a bit of a confidence boost.
Finally a well fitting comfortable cock ring can add a bit of “support” and a bit of spice.
Keep going lad……
Thank you for those helpful replies, I really appreciate them
