ED, don't know what's wrong

[GregSt]

Hello,

I'm 24 years old and have been struggling with erections for the last 2 years.

Until I was 21 I had a girlfriend for about 4 years and everything went superb, she barely had to touch me to get an erection. When that relationship was over I had a couple of shorter relationships where I had the first awkward moments. Anxiety, not getting a full erection, losing my libido.. I went to my doctor who prescribed me levitra, which helped, and got me my self-esteem back, and after a while I could even have normal sex without taking any meds, until that relationship ended like half a year ago.

Now I a new girl, and the anxiety is there again. My erections didn't succeed again, and I'm even afraid to go to her just because I know she will want to have sex, and I will not be able to give it to her. I went to the doctor a few days ago and he prescribed me Cialis this time. I took it like 4 hours before I wanted to go to her, and cancelled the date because I felt like it wasn't working, because I 'tried' it a home, and I didn't really notice a difference.. Masturbation works most of the time, when I'm not too stressed.

I'm doing a lot of sports, I'm normally built. But last months my appetite has gone, feeling lousy and I have ED problems which kill my love life.
Now I've read on the forums that it could be testorone problems, since the drugs don't kick in that well anymore. But I've also read that is really uncommon with younger people.

Hope you guys can help, I really feel like i've tried everything..

Greg, I use to have the same situations but all that stop when I gave up masturbation. Masturbation is considered normal but it also causes psychological issues and desensitization for some men if done incorreectly for a long time.

There is nothing wrong with your penis, it's just confused. Your penis don't know if you desier pleasure from your hand more or a vagina. There is no performance anxiety with masturbation but there is with sexual intercourse.

Since I stop masturbating, it's been 2 months now, my erections get harder, my want for women increased, the sensitivity in my penis tripled, and my confidence to satisfy a woman has jump sky-high. I had sex with three different women this month and all three said I was an animal in bed. So I know my anti-masturbation method is working.

You have performance anxiety with a woman because you not sure if you're going to keep it up. But how come you have no problem when masturbating???? That tells you that your penis is use to your hand.

Try my method for a month and guarantee you will see results. Do not touch penis AT ALL except when you have to pee or wash it.

Also, make sure you're using sensitive-skin soap products that doesn't dry out the penis.

Keep us posted on here weekly and let us know how you're progressing.

REMEMBER, LEAVE YOUR PENIS ALONE FOR A  MONTH!

I think it's all in your head and you have a little "performance anxiety" which is purely psychological. I have the same problem sometimes. The problem with performance anxiety is that, once you realize the erection issue is that and nothing physical, it can be hard to combat because every time you are about to have sex, you know that you're gonna start worrying if your penis will stay hard and then sure enough, those anxieties kick in and you start having the performance anxiety again. It can be a vicious cycle sometimes. Anxiety and general depression can really impact that area down there more than you think, especially if you have low self esteem about your erection and perfomance. There are some natural herbs you can get OTC that i don't know if  you're aware of that might help get you more "in the mood"  and some of them actually do "increase" blood flow to the penis. They are safe as long as you take them only when you need to take them or up to two or three days before u do it and on the day you plan to do it. You usually take them two or three days before you plan to be sexually active and, if you wanna big boost, you can take one or two an hour or two before you have sex. You don't wanna take them everyday because some have side effects and your body could, I think, build a tolerance to it if it gets use to being in your system all the time.
