Been in a relationship for 27 years. For about 16 of those I have had developing issues with ED…possible due to porn use and possible due to MS. Sick of using pills and want to be more spontaneous.

Do you feel pills made it better or worse? I am 29 and have the same problem since 17. I go to therapy, try to be open with my partner, but some days I just fill a pill would sort things out. However I’m afraid if I do it, then I will rely on the pill forever

I relate to this so much. I started having erection issues at 21, now I’m 28. I started taking pills every now and then, and they worked great, but now I am afraid that if I don’t have them, I get too anxious about whether I’ll be able to have sex. Stuck between giving myself grace that it’s ok to need medication to help me function the way I’d like to, and the embarrassment of feeling like I need a pill at 28 to get a boner.

I regret starting taking pills when I did and not looking for help…hindsight is a wonderful thing…but I now recognise that relying on pills meant I didn’t bother looking for a solution when I should have.
I think my original problem started from masturbating to porn…creating a problem in the bedroom.
I’ve since been diagnosed with MS…and pills have been recommended to help with ED…but I find that I only cum when masturbating.
My wife is an amazing person and our sex/ love makeing has adapted to suit but I’d love to be able to cum fro penetration again.
I felt exactly the same, and it took me a while to get comfortable with it. It wasn’t until I heard a male colleague talking about taking a pill, just like you would talk about taking a headache tablet…‘date night with the wife, but I don’t want to drink too much cos it will stop my pill from working’… was actually really liberating. If it is something that you end up having to use in the long term…getting comfortable with it is the only way
