Hello all!

I'm a 35 year old male who over the course of this last year developed some erection issues. I gradually lost both regular spontaneous and morning erections and now I am no longer capable of maintaining an erection unless I am being directly stimulated. I also seem to lose my erections frequently during sex. I am about 250lbs and I'm working on losing weight. I use to be on 0.5mg of Ativan three times daily (1.5mg in total) for a couple of years until I felt it wasn't effective anymore so I quit taking it. I have a pretty stressful home life (married with three boys) yet my wife is very supportive and claims this isn't that big of an issue even though I think about this developing problem almost non-stop and am a little dreadful before and during sex.

Thanks for having this great resource and I look forward to reading these forums!

Welcome to FT.

Age, weight, and especially stress all contribute to ED. Not much you can do about age, but you can work on the other two. Proper diet and exercise can do wonders.

You might want to consider visiting a doctor and see if you can get a sample pack of PDE5 pills to see if they might help. There are also supplements such as l-arginine, tongkat ali, Tribuleous, ginko balboa, and others that improve circulation. Do a search on supplements and you should uncover other recommendations
