Age 39, seeking advice

[flyguy1]

I have battled ED on and off all my life. Part of the reasons was psychological due to over masturbation and porn... and part of it physiological I think. I am in great athletic shape. Over the last year, I had done a lot of work on myself, I stay off porn and things are better. I can have sex with high doses of Viagra or levitra. With medication, I have a good success rate. Even then... my dick goes limp without constant simulation. And I often struggle during sex to orgasm. I can bring myself to completion with penetrative sex. But I struggle to make my partners orgasm. I sometimes get morning wood... and I sometimes don't. If I take viagra, I often get raging hard nocturnal and morning erections. But when it's time to have sex with a girl, it doesn't stay like that all the time. 50% of the time, I have good sex. The rest, moderate to pathetic: which kills my self esteem.

I have talked to a few Urologists. And half of them told me it's all in my head and I don't have ED. I get very mixed opinions from them. But so far... this has already cost me one divorce. I am a decent looking guy, and I often turn girls down because I am too afraid of what is going to happen in the bed room. And if I bring a girl home, I make lame excuses like "I don't like sleeping on the first few dates etc". And this has hurt me, and several girls. Because they don't understand why I pull away. I work as an airline pilot and I am single, and I am giving up way too many opportunities for sex, even though I am horny as hell.

Now, here is my question for you guys and gals. I can keep trying to improve, do kegel exercises, stay off porn etc... and hope for more improvements. OR.. maybe I should say screw it and go for an implant. The thing is, I don't want to waste another 10 yrs of my life doing experiments which may or may not help me. I don't want to wait till my dick is hopeless... because that just takes away precious youthful years. Looking here... many of you have echoed one sentiment over and over again: "I wish I did it 10 yrs earlier". Cost is not an issue for me at this point... at least one benefit of being single without kids.. haha. I am considering Dr Eid or Dr Kramer. What do you guys think? Do you think I should keep popping pills and have sex? Or should I go for an implant?

Have you tried injections? I was just implanted Monday but if the injection would have worked I would have stayed with them. The sticking your self with a needle really isn't as bad as you think.

I can definitely identify with the Viagra. I used to get raging nocturnal hardons after taking it hours before. But finally, Viagra stopped working all together. I guess I'm lucky in that I made until 61 with pills, and then injections. But about August of last year, nothing worked anymore. Even tried putting a ring on after injecting. This didn't help. In February, I was diagnosed with a severe venous leak. After doing a lot of research, really is no cure, and reading a lot of post on here, I decided to go for an Implant. I can't comment of how it works, as I'm only 20 days post op. But I'm healing up, and am looking forward to pumping this thing up and using it.

It's a tough question you ask that only you are going to be able to answer. I know for me, if the Bimix injections was still working, I probably would have not gotten an implant. I didn't mind sticking myself. It didn't need to be refrigerated. But when it stopped working, I went to trimix and quadmix. These mixes have a different ingredient that created pain for me. I started having adverse effects, like causing knots, and thrombosed veins from injecting these. So even if these mixes would have gotten me hard, I probably wouldn't have done it for too long.

One thing to consider is riding out the pills as long as they are working. When they stop, and they will, cause it seems everyone says the same thing, then get an implant. Food for thought.

I'll let you know how mine works after 7/25.

Go for the implant. The pills and injections stop working (if they ever started) but, the implant is dependable.

Just because something happens in the body that is caused by the mind (called psychosomatic) does not mean that it is imaginary and not real. It just means that it is caused (or partially caused) by the mind rather than by something in the body.

Good luck Flyguy1. Looking back on my ED battle over 7/8 years, there were a many frustrating moments. I can remember pounding the bed in anger. You won't have to experience that with an implant!

What I don't like about the injection is, it is definitely not conducive to spontaneous sex. And then I have to worry about scar tissue and it one day losing it's effect etc. I am leaning towards an implant and decided to get an appointment with Dr. Eid. Good luck with your upcoming procedure! Keep us posted.

That is very true. A few urologists simply said I don't have ED and 'not to worry about it too much'.
