Couple notes from lifelong gooner who found out way too late
I didn't know about ED until about late 2024 and frankly I didn't care. Masturbation was for me mainly as stress reliever, quick rub and move on with life. So between my age 12-29 I did it almost daily multiple times.
Then around late 2024 I had experience and realized my dick wouldn't even move from touch of a woman. I would feel nothing when inside vagina. Condom / no condom. Forget cumming or anything.
Tried noFap, tried excercise, lowered masturbation to weekly or 0. Still doing running and swimming. Testosterone levels seem normal also. I did a test in early 2025 and hit middle of each range what that lab measured.
I have weak erection, usualy lost after few minutes of sex, or no erection at all. No sensations to cum during PIV or handjob or anything.
What worked
Viagra / Cialis - great for get things going
L-Ctiruline - morning woods become more frequent, erections stronger.
L-Arginine - same same but I feel like my dick is pulsing after or something.
Less alcohol - only that I feel better overall, don't know.
Frequent running / swimming - better frequency of morning woods
Zinc/magnesium - yeah kinda improves mood
What didn't work
noFap - nope, no improvements beyond slightly more cum after long break. Not enough to cum during sex.
Fleshlight - it's nice, got the loosest one I could find. Not much of a difference.
Excersie in general - it's good but not for my dick
Low dose Cialis daily - morning hardness is great, fails terribly during sex. Feels like I'm building resistance to it.
Kegels - nope, and I don't know if I need those or reverse one
I kinda have GF now, which even puts more pressure on me. And it kills me that I can't perform reliably. Forget that I'm even enjoying sex. I'm not. It's mostly fear if I can stay hard.
So yeah don't goon all your life I guess.
