Quick one: what’s the longest any of you blokes have been able to use viagra/ciallis for- with consistently effective results? A lot of the implantees and the Trimix crowd talk of pills petering out in efficacy after 10-15 years. Is anyone using them for 20 years and beyond? Any tips for prolonging ...

Does anybody know a specialist in London who can do tests on my ED, a suspected case of VL (blithely dismissed by NHS after doppler on my penis in its flaccid state), and also give impartial advice about the next steps in terms of injections and implant options best suited to my situation? I guess w...

I've used a cock ring for 20 years. FIrst by itself as an aid to get and keep an erection. Then about 15 years ago I used a cock ring with viagra, I used this combination for over 10 years. Then 2 years ago I started using Trimix injections. I am currently using slightly less dosage of Trimix as wh...

In the late 70's I answered an ad in the back of a magazine and received a Good Vibrations catalog. We ordered a couple of cock rings. One was a hard plastic number with a vibrator on top, which proved to be unwieldy and uncomfortable. The other was a leather strap with snaps to adjust the tightnes...

With undiagnosed but pretty certain mild-VL, I’m still using viagra and tadalafil with generally good results. Before I succumb to the inevitable trajectory of injections and implants, are there any FT members who’ve experienced consistent, long-term benefits with cock-rings? I don’t mean the vacuum...

The post above mine calls it right. The practical tips advocated are incredibly useful. As for the emotional/psychological support side of things, this forum is an absolute blessing and, aside from the odd viperous moron, most blokes here strive to give words of encouragement, comfort or wise advice...

I reckon most blokes in our situation, ED in all its various poisonous forms, would gladly sacrifice a limb or a lung or some other vital appendage if it meant they could restore function to the penis. Frankly, if I could do a Donald Trump Art-of-the-Deal style parlay with God, I’d say, “Look, you c...

Fella, I’ve been there and, you’re right, big fun it is not. Have you tried a penis ring? With pills working 70-80% of the time, I’ve considered it myself, and there’s an interesting thread on these sexual-aids in the Members Only section of the forum. I figure these rings are the next logical step ...

I’ve just recalled one myself: The Chancers by Damien Lanigan where an actor is having erection problems. Turns out his impediment is more psychological than physical and one viagra seems to fix his wagon permanently

Are there any books or movies that offer a sensitive or sympathetic look at erection problems or is impotence generally a lazy cypher for evil, abnormality or comic incompetence in most media?
