Taboo? Sexual performance issues secondary to HCV?

I have read stats (sorry they are not at my fingertips) that ascertain an association between erection difficulties and HCV and/or advancing liver disease. I'm sure most have read of the association between HCV and depression which of course can contribute to such problems. I am interested in others experiences. I do not see this as a "social community" posting as it is a physiologic outcome of HCV i.e., erection difficulties with the advncing of Hepatitis C?

I think Hep C, age, cirrhosis all play apart in it, which reminds me of this saying..... Sorry can't help myself.

I AM OLD AND FEEBLE ,AND MY PILOT LIGHT IS OUT .WHAT USED TO MY SEX APPEAL ,IS NOW MY WATER SPOUT..I USED TO BE EMBARRASSED TO MAKE THE THING BEHAVE FOR EVERY SINGLE MORNING IT WOULD STAND UP AND WATCH ME SHAVE .NOW I'M GROWING OLDER AND IT SURE GIVES ME THE BLUES, TO HAVE THAT THING HANG DOWN MY LEG AND WATCH ME SHINE MY SHOES.

It's not uncommon for men with HCV to suffer from ED and for the most part it as nothing to do with how well the libido is.In my case I can tell a significant difference between pre treatment and after treatment.Each case can be different,you also have to take in consideration such things as age,other medical conditions,drinking,smoking,some medications the person might be taking,or use of illicit drugs.So sometimes it as nothing to do with HCV or it could be a number of things listed above in combination with HCV.
