Psychogenic Erectile Dysfunction

Three years ago I had triple bypass surgery. I was out of the game for about 6 months. After that I really just had very little interest in sex. When I did have interest my body and my mind would not cooperate. My testosterone levels dropped to the point that my Dr. prescribed weekly injections. That sent the libido up lick a rocket. The problem is any time I attempt penetration I immediately go limp. I have nocturnal erections that are so hard I could hammer nails. I can masturbate for over half an hour with a rock solid erection. It is only when a partner is involved that I have a problem. I have been searching for help for Psychogenic Erectile Dysfunction solutions for months upon months with no success. There has to be a solution for this. Has anyone else sucessfully dealt with this problem? I am at my wits end.

It sounds multifactorial, and your cardiac surgery could well be impacting (physiologically) your ability to maintain an erection - even if youโ€™re able to maintain one in other settings. That said, there may well be a psychological component to it as well - both in terms of your response to a major surgery and in terms of the erections. This app seems like it can help with the psychological side of things, and is worth continuing with as far as I see it currently, but it might be worth talking to your GP/family physician as well

On the second day and confronting my inner voice. Oddly enough inner voice does bring health issues to mind. Something really weird is inner voice tells me I am not getting what I want. I am processing that and trying to figure out exactly what it means. I mean Iโ€™m just a squirrel wanting to get a nut man. I will update this as I progress. Maybe someone else will be able to relate and it will help solve the problem sooner. I have been dealing with this for nearly two years now.

And thanks for the support. The positive reinforcement is helpful.

I have a similar problem. Great erections, foreplay works great, until penetration and I lose it. Iโ€™m absolutely out and done. The app has been helping me to being mindful, stop spectating, expecting my erection to fail. I started these symptoms after having COVID. I sometime wonder if when sex starts to progress to the end, that my heart rate increases, and my blood flow leaves my penis to keep my heart strong. But Iโ€™m learning a lot in the app. You are not alone. Keep asking questions.
