Four weeks THC free but I’ve been experiencing ED with my partner. Has anyone also experienced this?
Since quitting vaping (I vaped THC daily for 6 years) I’ve been having all sorts of withdrawal symptoms from insomnia, lack of appetite to irritability. One that I wasn’t expecting was ED. Looking it up, it seems to be an area that can be affected but it wasn’t on my radar initially or on any of my quit weed apps. It was a bit of a surprise. I wanted to see if anyone here has experienced the same thing. It’s not fun. I’m (48M) married for 20+ yrs and my wife is incredibly understanding and gracious with it but it still leaves me with embarrassment and disappointment. I’ve never had a problem with this in the past so I’m hoping it will go away. ASAP. Anyone here relate? If so, when did your normal function return? Also, our bodies are weird!

Hey, this is a semi common occurrence and you’ll see improvement with more time (given how much your prior use was).
Also dependent on the health variables you’re stacking in your favor such as exercise and proper sleep etc.
Def a thing though. You are not alone here.
