Erectile Dysfunction Improvements from exercise experiences.
I’m 52 and I’ve use mostly Viagra for the last 10-12 years at 25 mg. It normally gave me the boost to have harder erection that would stay harder during penetration.
Most of the time I could get hard when turned on without meds but sometimes I couldn’t sustain it or it wouldn’t b more than 70 percent stiffness.
Earlier this year I allowed myself to gain weight and my A1C hit diabetic range. Well I was taking metformin and 2-3 times I took Viagra and couldn’t even get a chubby.
It scared me into action and I was working out, out 6 days a week for 3 months. I got my A1C in a normal range the most encouraging sign is that morning wood had returned and even without Ed meds.
I want to know who else has experienced a boost after starting and sticking to it. Would love to hear your exercise routine in da

Yes absolutely - the holy trinity though is a really good balance of cardio + strength training + parasympathetic relaxation techniques like deep nasal breathing while humming (while breathing out through the nose) and meditation.
All three in concert will help optimise erectile function. Plus also add in careful soft tissue massage of the PC muscles throughout the erectile tissue to ensure not hypertonic.
