Erection killers

[NeedleD]

I'd like to do a list of erection killers. There are so many drugs, substances and habits that can totally implode your erectile function and we don't even know it. Please contribute to the list and be as specific as you can.

I've had the flu recently, took tons of medication and my erections were completely gone. Now that the flu is gone, my erections are excellent again.

Adrenaline, ibuprofen and caffeine are major erections killers and should be on the top of this list. A cup of coffee may give you energy but it's not something you want to take before sex. Smoking is terrible for your sexual function, too.

Who would have sex with someone with the Flu anyway?

On the top of the list, at least for me, should be alcohol. Great for breaking the ice but terrible for the crescendo

That is called a whisky dick.

It wasn't just the flu but the medication as well, e.g. ibuprofen was a major erection killer for me.

That's a long list of "erection killers"! Please post the list of "erection enhancers". Oysters?

[Way out west]

Great list, thanks for posting. For me, alcohol is high on the list, maybe with being half Asian, my body doesn't process it quite so well, but even a couple of drinks is enough to kill an erection.

Is Pepcid (Famotidine) also an erection killer?

Avoiding erection killers is just as important as using erection enhancers.

"Not tonight Dear" MUST rank at #1!!!

Food is another one. No food before sex, it will block the effect of oral drugs and you need blood in your genitals, not your stomach.

L-arginine, l-citraline, tonkat Ali.
