ED??
by baller, Sep 28, 2006 12:00AM
I have not had sexual intercourse in two years. My wife and I have recently separated. The past two years I have been depressed and I have a very stressful job.
Over the past two years I have experienced limited erections. Two years ago I could look at a good looking lady and get an erection. Now it takes me forever to get one and when I masturbate it is hard to maintain even a soft erection.
TWo years ago I had an extremely hard erection. I have a feeling that I have ED. Where can I find the best ED treatment centers in the country or on the east coast. If I go see someone I would like for it to be the best.
I have gone to massage parlors just for the massage to see if I would get aroused and that did not work. As I move on with my life I want to be able to get those rock hard erections again before experimenting with another lady.
I appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

, Oct 02, 2006 12:00AMYou sound like a good canidate for Viagra, Cealis, or Levitra- all three erectile dysfunction drugs. Only a physician, however, can know which one is right for you. Fortunately, a lot of general practice doctors as well as proctologists, have a great deal of experience using the drugs now and getting great results. I would suggest using Google or some other good search engine to find out more about each drug and ED. Many of the pharmaceutical companies have put up excellent information-only pages. Then go to your doctor or a proctologist and ask them about the drug- this isn't like brain surgery- many doctors can help you. There are a few health risks depending on the rest of your health history- so you do need a doctor to give you an overall check up- especially because a non erect penis can point to circulation or heart problems. So go see a doctor about this right away and make sure it is just your penis that's the issue. In any case, there is almost certainly a drug that can make your situation better if you are in good health. Even if one of these drugs isn't right for you there are other, mechanical ways of creating a harder penis ( such as shots) that have proven effective.
