Struggled With ED Since Turning 16 And Trying To Find An Answer Still

[losinghope123]

Hey,

So basically since the age of 16 (now 27), I’ve been struggling with ED and it’s completely fucking my life up. I’m reaching a point where I don’t know if I can hang in there much longer. Life is just a constant humiliating and emasculating experience that doesn’t seem to be stopping. Everywhere I go, I can’t escape the whole world talking about sex and reminding me of this bullshit problem I have. I’ve tried sex countless times, but I can’t seem to stay hard or even feel anything when my penis is in the vagina or the girl is touching it. I can sort of feel it when I touch my penis, but I think that’s because I’m more conscious of it? It’s still not much feeling though. I’m completely wasting my life and there’s absolutely nothing I can do about it. I’m scared this is going to be permanent stuff- In which case, I’m going to probably end up becoming a raging alcoholic to get through it.

So emotional stuff out the way haha. So yeah, I seem to be suffering from specifically penis numbness and some libido issues- Although I think the libido issues are more because of all the bad experiences, but I don’t know. I’ve been to the doctors a number of times of the years, only to be given the usual psychological crap. They’ve tested my hormones and testosterone was high, so dismissed it as me tricking myself. I have however been developing a similar numbness in my legs/bum, which might potentially be related, but they can’t figure out what’s causing it after a spine MRI and other tests, so again, I’m non the wiser.

Anyway, I’m not really sure how much people can help, but I just needed to vent to be honest. I don’t want to go down the implant route until all other routes are exhausted. I think I’m going to post updates to this journey to see if I can find an answer.

Hi brother,

Everything you said is exactly same here. I was young when I started to notice issues but was too embarrassed to confront them. Also I live in a sex repressed country where sex education is nil.
Numb penis, low libido. My ED is much worse than yours though. almost nil erections and would only last for seconds. I can't even bother to have a 'disappointing experience'. The doctors keep telling me see a psychologist when they can't figure out anything. I have lowish test but not abysmally low and I passed the penile Doppler test. Although the penile Doppler didn't measure the outflow for some reason. Perks of living in a 3rd world country.

I was very depressed (obviously) till I tried an injection and it worked for me.
Why don't you try that? I know thinking of getting an implant is hard with a numb penis.
Everyone says sex is 90% brain. So if you can get over the physical part I'm sure you/we will enjoy it.
No need to be an alcoholic.

I have a very sensitive penis, probably why I am a one pump chump, when I can get it up. However with pills and now injections I can not "feel" the erection. I can not tell if it is hard or soft, I have to feel it with my hand to tell. It may be since I can not get rock hard, as I could before ED. I have not been tested for venous leak, but I am convinced of it. Injections get me hard enough for sex, not rock hard. As soon as I lie down or move, the erection is gone within 30 seconds. If I stand up and stay still for a while, it stiffens again, wash and repeat for about an hour.
