Over the years it grew worse to the point in my 40s I'd not get an erection at all -- even if I was aroused, horny, excited, whatever. I went to an ED clinic in my late 30s and they tried the injection on me and I nearly passed out. Now I'm thinking that could be the way to go.
In my mid 40s I developed chronic fatigue syndrome, which i still have but my sexual functioning for many years was about the same. And I never had trouble masturbating while alone. That began a few years ago when I started an anti depressant, cymbalta. Even a year after I stopped that drug I could no longer fantasize to get hard when alone.
ED drugs can help a little but not enough. And now I need an ED drug, a cock ring, and watching porn to occasionally be able to masturbate. It's a big production and I do it occasionally just to get the equipment to work.
I have been on testoterone since the fall as my T levels have been low normal for years. Ironically, I get erections when I sleep but not when I'm awake. Even if I wake during the night and I'm hard if I try to get off I just lose it. Losing the ability to fantasize really puzzles me.
So this issue has haunted my sex and romantic life for so long and I don't want to give up on love and sex.
I'm seeing an urologist in two weeks and don't know what to expect. I got his name from a friend who had early prostate cancer surgery.
I'm afraid he'll just blame CFS but I know that's not the whole story. I'm willing to consider an injection now. I've read that the needles are smaller.
Any advice or suggestions or even sympathy will be welcome . . . or if maybe anyone has questions if I've left anything out
Thanks!
