Is it time to throw in the towel?

2011-08-08T09:41:41-08:00

I am a 58 yr old man 5’10 @ 190#. I have been on two types of insulin for over 12 yrs(taken daily) Diabetic #1. I have also been taking high blood pressure medicine-10 mg daily. I cannot get an erection PERIOD. It has been over four years since I remember what it felt like. I cannot have relations with my wife. I cannot masturbate, other than yank on a noodle…eventually just giving up. My endocrinologist has tested my testosterone (said it was in the normal guidelines) but still issued a testosterone ointment to see if this could help. He has also over the years prescribed Viagra and Cialis. (Again nothing works). I have desire when I see a woman (or my wife) but that is now a moot issue because I cannot back up that desire, no matter how long or how wildly she tries to stimulate me. Four years of hell sexually, really weighs heavy on a man’s mind. Do I throw in the towel?

Big Problem

2011-06-20T07:42:06-08:00

50 year old male here. Went to computer orientation and had to sit on this wood chair that put terrible pressure on my perenium (spot between testes and anus) for two days. It went completely numb 2 hours into the first day.

The result was that I haven’t had an erection in 3 weeks unless laying face down in bed at night sometimes one will come for a minute and then disappear, urine is musky all the time, and I’ve been on Cipro for just over 2 weeks now (500 mg 2x a day) which I picked up at an urgent care center where they said my prostatitis was boggy.

The prostatitis is healing up but the erections are not and the musky smell is in the urine. I suppose this is compression damage. I’m supposed to see a urologist at some point (waiting for authorization).

What do you think my chances of coming out of this normal are?

Premature

Is it considered ED if you can only last seconds or under a minute? I have no problem getting it up or even staying up. Its just once im in, its over before i get started.

weak erection after chlamydia treatment

2010-11-18T20:39:05-08:00

Several days after finishing treatment for chlamydia, my erection still seems very soft. Is this common? How long does it take for erection to return to normal?
Thank you.

Pain after Treatment

I’m curious, do treatment options like ICP cause burning during urination or any sort of discomfort after the treatment?

Could my ED just be “all in my head”?

I’m sure this is a common thing, but it seems like I only have problems in bed sometimes…and I have been trying to figure out what the common factor in my outstanding performance vs. being a “no show” is. By thinking about it more, I feel like it is getting worse, just simply because I am thinking too much.

If it really is a psychological issue, can I just deal with this through some therapy, or do I need to actually take a pill to consistently perform when I want?

Is it True that Viagra Makes You See The World as Blue?

2009-07-02T14:10:32-08:00

I just read about an interesting viagra side effect:

“It turns out that PDE5 is used in the cone cells in the retina, so Viagra can have an effect on color vision. Many people who take Viagra notice a change in the way they perceive green and blue colors, or they see the world with a bluish tinge for several hours. For this reason, pilots can’t take Viagra within 12 hours of a flight.”
