I'm 71 years old and am having the usual problems with ED. I still get morning wood but can't keep it up for sex. I also lost about an inch and a half since getting older and getting a bit of a belly. I now measure 5 inches hard.
I have tried Viagra with varying degrees of success. I am considering an ultrasonic shock wave therapy device like the Apex Drive. Has any tried this or have any suggestions?

71 years old and married. Have had ED for last few years. I often have morning wood, but I don't keep it hard enough for sex. I'm considering a pump and cock ring. 5 inches hard.

Re: New to the site
You've joined a great Forum. Most of us have gone thru the same issues. some for many years. You've started in the right area.
We have all suffered years with loss of erections. There are several pills and or injections you could try. Some show a little promise, but most just don't seem to provide any long lasting support.
Suggest finding a good Urologist to run some tests. Explain your problems, and your expectations for a further successful sex life.
Some of us wasted too many years before taking the step to advance our successful future.

How do you add those lines of information about yourself under the line following your comment? Seems that would be very helpful so I don't have to keep repeating myself.

Welcome to the site SeniorDoug, welcome to the brotherhood. You will find FT an extremely valuable resource.
BillyBob51 is spot on. Find a good Urologist, get the tests and do whatever it takes to get control of your sex life. And as BillyBob51 stated, some of us wasted too much time, myself included, before we took the step to solve the problem. For me, the IPP is marvelous. OMG, to now stay erect for as long as I want to after years of failure is such a pleasure. Don't delay as I did, life is too short.
