It all started one day 5 years ago

Hello forum, I hope I can find some help for my condition here.  

I am 32.  I haven't woken up with an erection in 5 years.  Every day I woke up with an erection since I was a young teenager, and then one day it just stopped.  No gradual decline.  No semi-erection.  It went from perfectly fine to perfectly NOT fine overnight.  I didn't hear any pop during intercourse.  

Needless to say, I tried viagra and the like to varying degrees of success.  Thing is, even if I did get a close to full erection, it didn't feel like I had a full erection, and it feels like I could lose it any second.  I have reduced sensation in my penis to the extent that it feels like I don't have anything between my legs.  If I try to masterbate (only sad option now), it doesn't feel good, and my orgasms don't feel good.  The urination sensation does not feel the same either.  I never feel like I have to urinate real bad, it just feels like pressure in my lower abdomen.  I pretty much just do it to see if I can get it to work.  Also, I cannot 'flip the switch'.  Before it was pretty simple, see naked woman and I would get a full erection.  Now, I can only stimulate myself via manual stimulation.


I have zero libido.  I am simply not horny.  I used to have a very healthy libido.  To say I am depressed is an understatement, but what's the point of therapy if the underlying cause of it is still present?

Medical history:  Testosterone OK (1,000), x-ray of sacrum & lumbar negative, duplex ultrasound w/l-papaverine indicated proper blood flow via main arteries, but erection didn't last very long.  The diagnosis was occlusive venous leak.  I disagree with this diagnosis, simply because of the acute onset, severe nature, and age at which this problem first manifested itself.  This diagnosis was provided by a urologist at a teaching hospital of a major metropolitan city.

I just want answers--good, rational answers.  Ideally, I want my life back, but even if I get this problem fixed, I'm still pretty scarred.    But, as I said above, what's the point of therapy if the problem can't be fixed.

I would really appreciate some pragmatic and 'outside the box' input from medical professionals.  Is it worth continuing to see other urologists?  Or neurologists?  What other tests might they perform? I haven't bothered to try other urologists yet, b/c the whole process is pretty humiliating, and I'm afraid to find out that there is no hope.  It would be nice to have hope.  So please take the time to read and respond to my post.  It would be very greatly appreciated.
