I think I am getting cured from severe ED...

[thanos]

Hello guys! You won't believe my story...As I have mentioned in older posts I suffered from the most severe form of ED. My symptoms were: no erections at all alone or with a partner, extreme loss of sensation (pleasurable sensation, not general), penis shrinkage, feeling COMPLETELY asexual...This happened in a 3 month period to me. The year was 2014...Now some little information about me. I used to be very athletic before this happened to me. BUT... I also smoked from age 17 (now I am 37), used to smoke weed for 3 years every day and drank a lot of alcohol. I know it sounds weird for an athletic person but it is the truth. I used to work out every day and party all night long. Now I will explain later why am I saying these things...
Anyway ED hit me suddenly and hard when I was 33 years old. At the time I had a hot chick and had sex 3 times a day...Needless to say I was DEVASTATED...I went literally from a sex beast to being asexual overnight. My girlfriend left me and then depression kicked in...And I am talking about DEPRESSION here...I took 4 antidepressants and 3 zanax every day to prevent me from committing suicide. That hell lasted 6 months. Then I started looking for answers. I had blood tests...PERFECT. I did a doppler exam...PERFECT. I did hormonal tests...PERFECT. Diagnosis? Severe psychogenic ed. I could not believe it. I said to myself this can't be real...I mean I smoked I took drugs I drank every night and this is psychogenic? No way...I tried cialis. Worked for a little then stopped. And even when it worked I had zero sensation. In time I got more and more depressed...Stopped working out...eating excessively...gained 20 kilos of weight...drinking and smoking excessively...I had no dick so what was the point? I became self destructive, I did not care anymore...I kept going to doctors now and then (urologists, psychiatrists, even homeopathetics) and they all told me the same thing. It is all in your head...Yeah right, I fucked like Rocco Siffreddi and now I am an asexual impotent and it's all in my head.Give me a break guys...
Anyway this whole situation lasted 3 years. 3 fucking years of my life! I did masturbate but couldn't feel a damn thing...I could cum with extreme effort but I felt only a slight pleasure and that was it...Now i don't know if you realize what this can do to a man's soul. I met an ex of mine and she sucked my dick and nothing happened. NOTHING! My dick didn't move and didn't feel a thing. I was hopeless...
And then something happened. I decided to start living again. Without a dick but started enjoying other things. I started hanging out with friends again, started playing the guitar again, read books, watched movies and stuff...I stopped taking antidepressants and shit, my mood got better...Now believe it or not when you reach a point of MAXIMUM despair and pain and you think you just can't take anymore, there are two options: you end your life OR start feeling better again...Thank God I did the second. I managed to get happy even in this pathetic situation. And I am proud of it. It needed a lot of balls...Reaching happiness again after such EVERY DAY humiliation and torture is difficult. Now this period lasted for 6 months. The last six months actually...
Then one month ago I decided to give it another last try. I went to an urologist and asked him to do Botox injections to me (it is a new treatment). He ordered me to have an NPT test. I hadn't done it before so I said why not...The test came back normal...He told me that I didn't have an organic problem so bottox and shit would be useless for me...I had no vascular issues. He gave me injections (local) and told me to have sex, even forced one to combat my psychological issue. I hanged up with an ex of mine, had the injection and nothing happened...But instead of getting desperate I tried to put some humour in it. I thought ok, even injections don't work, now that's some serious shit haha! Two days later I tried an injection ON MY OWN, without the pressure to perform and I had a 5 hour erection! I was ready to go to the ER when it finally came down. And it wasn't a pleasant feeling either, the erection was painful as hell. So I said fuck it...no more injections for me. BUT... I realized once and for all that was a severe mental block that didn't allow me to perform. I mean how could I have an erection 5 hours on my own and not one with a chick, EVEN with injection? Now this thought entered my mind and stayed there for good. So I started to RELAX. I mean REALLY RELAX. Kept on doing other things (guitar, books etc,).
And then 4 days ago IT HAPPENED! I felt horny in my head so I said ok it is time for one more of my pathetic jerk offs. But my friends , this time it was not pathetic AT ALL. I managed to achieve a FIRM, STRONG, SENSATIONAL erection after 3,5 years. When I came, I thought I would pass out from pleasure and joy. NOW WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED? Tears in my eyes...Can't describe it...Resurrection from the grave...I masturbated 7 times this day. Never done it before. 4 times the other day. 7 times the next one. 5 times yesterday...With a full hard cock! Now I know that was stupid and extreme but think about it. I am talking about 3.5 years here...No pleasure at all... I am not saying i am cured. For God's shake, you can't cure 3 years in 3 days. But at least I know my dick is god damn fine! No venous leak, no nerve damage, no disuse atrophy, no fibrosis, no NOTHING OF THESE BULLSHIT I READ FOR 3 YEARS IN THE INTERNET.
Now that's for now...I have to go now. But I will come back to write more things about my case soon.
One last and MOST IMPORTANT thing. DO NOT EVER EVER EVER LOSE HOPE! I MEAN EVER! I want my case to encourage other people because I 've been there, I have seen HELL and I survived. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Sounds fantastic and congrats. I would not throw the baby out with injections however. The learning curve and adjustments take time - even years. My first time was similar to yours - kinda unnatural and too much. But that was the only time. Feast & famine sometimes. But keep your options open and your tail up.

Wow! That is an incredible tale! I am happy for you that your apparent mental block is leaving you! Now get with some gals and remain- somehow- that relaxed- and enjoy!

Antidepressants can cause severe ED.

[thanos]

Yes but I did not take antidepressants when this happened to me. I took them later...Antidepressants usually mess with sensation therefore causing delayed ejaculation, not severe ED. But I guess that everyone is different.

I am happy you have been able to see the light again. How old are you now Thanos? It certainly is an odd thing to lose virility and it can be lost at an early age. I had this happen to me when I was 21 a relationship ended and thought it would be the death of me, it was certainly the death of my penis. Eventually it came back.

Five years ago it went away after a gallbladder attack and a week stay in the hospital with out food.

I've had very little success anymore but a week ago I woke up with pretty amazing wood, so like you this whole signally thing that happens with the brain is a big deal.

I've been taking 10 mg of Cialis every night and it doesn't do a lot of good except aid in circulation. So at almost 66 I am still hopeful, I'm working on trying to do a little re-wiring and see what happens. For sure not much is going to happen if you are negative or depressed.

I am 37 years old. Cialis before bed is not a bad choice, it won't cure the psychogenic element but certainly will help with circulation and erections therefore helping build confidence again.

It does help some. I'm amazed at the difference signaling from the brain can make the difference between erection and no erection but clearly it does...even in the case of physiologic issues with circulation.

Of course! Arousal begins in the brain. If you are not truly aroused you can beat it for hours and not have an erection.
