so i’m trying out cialis 20mg for the first time, i was wondering when i should start taking them, my gf is visiting on friday-sunday i just want to make sure every thing goes smoothly
I am 28 years old, physically I am in a good shape. I workout 3-4 times a week. I eat clean, I never had problems getting laid in past and it is not the case now either. I have been in a relationship for about 2 years now but we are taking a break since we both want different things in life. I am stressed like very normal people is imo, no sign of depression or anxiety but recently when I met up with a girl and when we went over to her place for some reason I could not get hard at all. It came to me as a shock. I watch porn but it’s not to an extreme level, she was an attractive lady and I really did want to have sex with her. I get morning wood fairly normally but I just don’t know what happened. Now I’m kinda scarred and don’t even want to go have sex with a girl thinking I’d feel that way again. Funny thing is when I am hanging out with my ex gf here and there I get hard instantly. Is this normal? When I did research it said that I have what they call situational ED. How can I get rid of it? Has anyone faced this issue before?
I’ve been taking metoprolol and losartan for my blood pressure, and I’ve started noticing some changes in my sexual function. I’m having more difficulty getting or maintaining an erection, and sometimes I feel like I’m having ejaculation symptoms before I’m fully erect. I’ve also noticed that my penis sometimes seems smaller or more contracted than usual.
I’ve also experienced a lower sex drive, and I’m wondering whether these symptoms could be related to my blood pressure medication or another medication I’m taking.
I exercise and work out regularly, so I’m trying to stay as healthy as possible. I would like to understand whether certain blood pressure medications are more likely to cause sexual side effects and whether some people have fewer problems with different medications.
Has anyone else experienced this while taking blood pressure medication?
I’m interested in hearing about all types of blood pressure medications and people’s experiences with them, not just one specific medication. I’ll discuss any possible medication changes with my doctor rather than stopping anything on my own.
I just wanna start by saying I believe I beat porn induced erectile dysfunction!!!!
I went 30 days cold turkey no PMO. Started introducing sex with my gf where it started ok but erections diminished after a few minutes..
Got some sildenafil that I used to fridge the gap 1-25mg pill got me rock hard for full 40 min sessions. Although I was unable to get off I took this as a win to help ease anxiety part of it. Now at about 90 some days no porn I can successfully have great sex with no meds and ejactulate each time
Now my question is. How long until I get over death grip? Like I said I’m 30 days free and 60 days sex only. The issue I have is to ejactulate I have to completely focus and tense muscles and thrust hard. I wanna get to wear I can relax and it happens. Thanks
I just did my very first Trimix injection. As of right now, it's been about 15 minutes. I quickly got pretty chubby, but that's about it so far. I intentionally started very conservatively (3-4 units), as I'm scared to death of priapism. If my dick goes no further than this today, that's okay: I'll increase the dose and try again tomorrow.
I've read 100 times in this subreddit that the injection is virtually painless, and I definitely found that to be true. Once I'd stuck myself I could barely stop chuckling over how nervous I'd been and how easy it turned out to be.
I'm generally able to get pretty good erections with Sildenafil or Tadalafil when it's just me and my wife. But we're starting to play with others (threesomes, play parties, sex clubs), and performance anxiety was killing it every time. So I decided to try Trimix while I continue to work on anxiety with my therapist. Fingers crossed!
23 years old. No girlfriend and addicted to porn causing me to engage in paid sex for several times.
For first few times, I have delayed ejaculation (due to death grip syndrome) and could only finish off by handjob.
However, yesterday was a total disaster and humiliation for me. I suffered from erectile dysfunction suddenly during intercourse. No matter how hard she and I tried, it remains flaccid and it's probably the first time in years that I can't get hard by hand job myself.
I know no fap would improve the situation at least for death grip, but still unsure of the reason behind yesterday incident. When I went back room yesterday night, I tried to masturbate alone but the sensation is not intense and I still struggle from ED.
Could constant edging for past 3/4 days causing tiredness? Or performance anxiety cause me to lose erection during sex?
Probably should have stopped this earlier and now I felt terrible and disappointed at myself. Anyone faced this situation before and any advice in solving this?
As a.man gets older things down there dont work as well. So my Dr recommened a cocktail injection that supposedly gets things working. So I went to pick up the medicine and the get the tutorial. I wasnt aware that I actually had to inject myself with the real medicine. IM LIKE DOC, I gotta work today, I cant be working all day with an erection I gotta teach class today. Dr offered to resechedule but this was Friday and the wife was really excited for the weekend, so I did the injection. Holy Cow, within 3 minutes I was 17 again. Made for a hard drive to work, no pun intended. I get to work and immediately get sent in to assist teaching a first aid class as the other instructor had car issues. Trying to hide an erection, in front of 4 beautiful office employees teaching CPR was not my best day.
"TL;DR:" Get all the info first before using erection drugs.
Just ordered 30 100MG pills of Sildenafil from TelyRx for $60. I’m so used to paying $80-$100 for 8pills from either HIMS or Ro. Does anyone have any first person experiences with TelyRx?
I just ordered RO sparks & it’s the 1st time I’m trying ED pills..do u need to b aroused in order for it to work? I’m sure my ED is all MENTAL..do all ED medication need u to b aroused? I got no problem being aroused it’s jus that when my mind starts overthinking lol
I've noticed over the years, my stamina is gone, I also dont feel I am getting fully erect anymore, and after the first time getting off durinf sex, the show is over and I dont like that. I used to be able to stay erect after gettibg off and keep going until I got off again. My girlfriend is still wanting more, but I just cannot produce, and then I get in my head she's going to grow tired of this and get frustrated, and it sucks. I was looking at HIMS or blue chew, but then I came on here and seen Mark Cubans website, its much cheaper, and it skips the prescription. However,is that safe to do? I have health insurance, just impossible for me to ever get off work to be able to go to a doctor :/.
I have gotten a better sleeping habit (6-7hrs regularly) , changed my eating habits, I am trying to cut out energy drinks too, but with my hairloss, getting older (35), and since this issue has persisted, I am starting to get discouraged, and have started looking up maybe the pill would work.
I have been browsing this subreddit for a few weeks, and decided I should make a post and hopefully find some answers. Not only about finding a way to cope, and have harmony with having ed, but to also know how to get past it, and get my hair back.
I never thought I'd be posting about ED, but my experience has been positive enough that I thought it might help somebody else.
I'm 50. Over the last few years I'd been dealing with brain fog, lethargy, lower sexual desire and generally not feeling quite like myself. It was stressful for several months preparing to have sex. A friend suggested getting my testosterone checked. I did, and my doctor said my levels were within the expected range for my age.
Eventually I went through Hims and was prescribed tadalafil 8.5 mg.
For me, the results have been remarkable.
The obvious improvement has been sexual function, but what surprised me was what happened to my confidence around sex and intimacy. My libido feels stronger, I've been much more comfortable sexually with my wife, and she says I seem happier and more focused generally.
I've also been lifting better than I have in years and finally benched 225 a week before turning 50, which was a personal milestone. I've dramatically cut back on alcohol too.
I want to be careful here: I'm not claiming tadalafil directly caused the strength gains, improved my mood, reduced my drinking, or produced any of the psychological changes I'm about to describe**.** I don't know that, and there have been other positive changes happening in my life at the same time.
But the psychological part has been fascinating.
I've been in therapy on and off since I was young for anxiety, depression and intimacy issues. I had a painful relationship in college that ended largely because of religious/family differences. It was emotionally complicated and ended badly. I basically shut the door on it, moved forward with my life and didn't really grieve it.
Shortly afterward I met an incredibly patient woman. I had been very inexperienced sexually—I didn't have sex until well into my 20s—and she eventually became my wife. She's the only person I've ever had sex with, and we've now been happily married for many years.
Since starting tadalafil and becoming much more comfortable with my sexuality and intimacy, something unexpected has happened in therapy.
Old memories and emotions have started surfacing with an intensity I wasn't expecting. I've remembered experiences of rejection, insecurity and shame from high school and college that I hadn't thought about in decades. I've actually grieved that old relationship for what feels like the first time.
My therapist has commented on how much progress I've been making and how much more emotionally aware I've become.
Again, I cannot say tadalafil caused this. My own theory is that feeling sexually capable and comfortable in my body removed an insecurity I'd carried for decades. That confidence, combined with a good marriage and therapy, may have made me feel safe enough to finally process some things I'd spent most of my adult life avoiding.
Maybe the medication changed my erections. Maybe everything that followed came from what that change did to my confidence. Maybe the timing is partly coincidence. I honestly don't know.
What I do know is that at 50 I feel more sexually confident, more emotionally connected to my wife and more comfortable with myself than I remember feeling before.
I also haven't experienced the side effects that some people report, although obviously everyone's experience and medical situation is different.
I'm curious whether anyone else taking tadalafil has experienced something similar—not necessarily resurfacing memories, but a broader psychological change that came from finally feeling confident about sex and intimacy.
Ive been on Viagra 4 years now. started at 50mg and it was great honestly. then it started being inconsistent so doc put me on 100mg. that worked for a bit but now even 100 is like 50/50 whether anything happens. plus the headaches are getting worse every time.I asked my urologist what happens when 100 stops working and he just goes “well then we look at injections.” cool. great. thanks doc.I can feel my wife distancing and one day it slipped out that I don’t want her anymore,like I DO want her I just can’t do anything about it without popping a pill an hour and a half before and hoping for the best. She can tell I’m “preparing” and it kills the whole thing.Is anyone actually doing anything about the actual problem? not just switching to cialis or upping the dose. I just want to be able to not have to prepare in order to sleep with my wife.I would appreciate anyone sharing their experience or if they have any suggestions

This is my first time doing stuff with a girl and I’m trying to figure out whether I’m actually making progress.
For years I masturbated to pretty specific sexual content. Over time, that specific content became what really turned me on, while normal/vanilla stuff stopped giving me anywhere near the same level of arousal.
When I started doing stuff with this girl, I realised how different it felt from masturbating. Masturbation is extremely easy for me. I can get fully hard and finish without much effort. With her, I initially only got semi-hard while making out and my erections constantly came and went. I also didn’t get that intense horny feeling I normally get from the specific content I watch.
I stopped masturbating around 20 days ago because I wanted to see if things would improve. I haven’t masturbated at all, although I still look at that specific content when I get really horny. I don’t masturbate while looking at it.
There has definitely been some improvement. My erections while making out have gradually become stronger and last longer. I also notice I’m usually more turned on after we’ve been cuddling/resting together for a while and then start making out again.
The main problem now is when things become more sexual. I can be hard while making out, but when we stop and she puts a condom on me, I often lose the erection. It feels like the second I realise I need to perform, everything disappears.
We tried head a few times as well. At first I would lose my erection when we switched from making out to that. Eventually we rested for a while, started again, and I closed my eyes and focused completely on the physical sensation instead of thinking about whether I was hard.
For the first time, I actually finished with her.
It took much more concentration than masturbation, but I see it as progress because when I started I wasn’t even sure I’d be able to finish from anything a girl did.
Does this sound like I’m on the right track? For anyone who relied heavily on specific sexual content, did normal intimacy eventually become more arousing and natural?
Also, am I slowing down my progress by looking at that specific content even though I’m not masturbating? Would cutting it out completely help, and is there anything else I can do to speed up the progress?
Being told you have cancer is probably the worst news to hear. And you sort of don’t hear the muffled voices going on after that. Penile retraction, impotence, can’t ejaculate.
All your hearing is surgery dates, fasting, be here at this time, on this date.
Two years post surgery, I’m all clear. No signs of cancers.
But, my penis is smaller. Erections are 80% hard, not being able to ejaculate is not a biggy. I still get a sense of orgasmic relief masturbating or stimulated.
I have no bladder troubles.
But how have you or your partner coped?
I am on anti-androgen therapy to stop all my erections because I was suffering from extremely painful, recurring erections that would not go away. Please don't offer solutions or therapies for this, I spent five years trying everything. I'm happy that I no longer have erections anymore, that's not really the issue.
The issue is that I still have a sex drive and enjoy both solo stimulation and acts with my partner. We use vibrators, wands, stuff like that. It feels great and our sex life has actually gotten better since I cannot longer get it up.
My one concern is that I have to repeatedly "clench" my pelvic floor muscles once I'm close in order to orgasm. I was never diagnosed with any specific pelvic floor problem, but some of the PTs I saw in the past thought I might have a hypertonic pelvic flood.
Sometimes after a long session (20+ minutes plus) my taint area can be a little sore. It's not unbearable, but as someone who has had so much pain down there over the years, I don't want this to grow into a chronic condition as well. The sensation can sometimes last a few hours, and if the orgasm is especially intense, it can be a little more noticeable. It always goes away overnight though.
Am I hurting myself?
Does anyone have any tips for using vibrators or similar devices, so I don't have to clench so much? Manual masturbation won't cut it; I can't orgasm that way anymore. Is it normal and safe? I'm going to ask a PT again when I see her, but that will be at least a month away.
I recently started exploring partner sex again after a 2 year period of celibacy after a bad breakup. I'm not looking for a relationship or a friendship, I'm just looking for casual sex so I met someone on a kink website (he's 46) and we've hooked up 3 times now. The two most recent times he's had erectile dysfunction. The first time it happened he disclosed to me that he's on a medication which causes ED.
Prior to us beginning the sexual relationship, he asked me if I had any health conditions which could impact our sexual experience. I said no, but he did not disclose his ED at this time so this isn't something that I knew about prior to starting the sexual relationship. On the receiving end, I get pleasure from other things that aren't PIV and during our hookups, when he's performing sex acts on me (oral, bondage/impact play, fingers) I have no complaints and can have multiple orgasms. But when it's time for me to pleasure him and he's not erect, I feel a lot of pressure and I honestly feel uncomfortable and bad about myself even though I know it's not because of anything I'm doing.
He says he wants me to do things to him like orgasm control/denial but that's really hard to do when he's not hard so I'm automatically not delivering on his requests. And if I'm being perfectly honest, I do not enjoy performing oral sex on a flaccid penis. It makes me feel self-conscious, and I simply don't know how to do it. I have lots of experience going down on erect penises, but not that much experience giving oral on flaccid penises and it makes me feel really bad when I'm down there for 20-30 minutes, my neck hurts, and everything is still soft. He tells me that things still feel good, but it still feels weird for me and I don't know if it's something I can shake.
Yes, I am having orgasms and being pleasured in that way during our sessions, but I also experience pleasure from feeling like I'm pleasuring my partner and when he's unable to get hard it makes it a less enjoyable experience for me unfortunately.
The most recent time we hooked up he pulled out a penis pump and a cock ring and that still only partially worked. I've never had someone use a penis pump during a sex session before, but I just rolled with it because I didn't want to make him uncomfortable. I'm unsure how to talk about this with him without making him feel bad. He's a great guy and if I was looking for something long-term or a romantic relationship, I think it would be something I could work through if he checked all my other boxes because in the grand scheme of an entire long-term love-relationship ED isn't a big deal in my opinion. But the thing is that isn't what I'm looking for, I'm just looking for casual, fun, a-couple-times-a-month sex. And my unfortunate, selfish reality is that my enjoyment of the experience is lessened because of his ED and I would certainly be able to find someone else who doesn't struggle with this issue. I know that no one owes me information about their health, but is this something you think he should have told me before we initiated a sexual relationship? Am I being rude or selfish for potentially wanting to find a different FWB because of this? If I decide to end the sexual relationship, how should I approach it? We'd likely still be seeing each other at events because we're both exploring the kink community so I would want to be as gentle and compassionate as possible.
Per the title. I feel like Cialis at 5mg for the past 4 days has given me anxiety.
Anyone get this?
Is it all in my head?
Will we ever know?
So my partner and I start foreplaying but whenever she grabs and starts rubbing it, after a couple of seconds I feel like I am going to c** and stop her. How do I make it better?
Disclaimer, I’m a woman. Just looking for some advice regarding my bf (50).
He’s extremely fit, works out regularly as well as has a physically demanding job. Eats healthily. Takes some amount of testosterone (idk the dosage but it’s small from what I understand).
We have been together for a year and he has always been able to get an erection and have sex for about 10/20 minutes but then will lose it and the rest of the night is him getting hard and losing it over and over. Sometimes he will finish after a long while of that, but often not.
I want to make it clear that I do not mind him getting hard and losing it. I love him and I love his dick. It’s perfect for me. But lately he’s been increasingly obsessed with not losing his erection which I feel like is making him lose it more. Before we got together he was 1 year post a divorce in which his wife was unfaithful. I know it hurt his confidence but I think he was having some erection issues before the divorce. I know some of it could be age but I am just looking for some advice on what I could do to support him. How can I help him get out of his head? I’m very satisfied with our sex life and I tell him that.
He is against therapy.
