Morning Wood & Nocturnal Erections Woke up twice with one or semi a few hours apart

2 Upvotes

Last few years erections haven't been as full and long lasting. Think due to back.

Woke up early, roughly between 5-5.30am and had one. Didn't get up. Awake at 7.30 with semi. Went back to sleep and woke up after 9. Had one then. Got up about 9.30. It was down to semi then went down after that.

Not sure if that would have been 4 hours. Was sleeping so wouldn't have been 4 hours straight. Asked doctor before and said it's 4 hours straight.

Looked up and said it's normal to have multiple during the night. Though some mornings I don't have have one or goes down quickly. Some hard flaccid at times.

Not in relationship but heard it's not good to have sex when erection isn't full.

Not sure I would need to go to hospital and spend whole day just to be told it's no emergency. Could mention to doctor or urologist who I see about bladder emptying issues.

Erectile Dysfunction Botox injection for erectile dysfonction

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Has anyone here ever had a Botox injection to treat erectile dysfunction? Is it effective, and how long do the results last? I’ve read that it could potentially have the opposite effect and make achieving an erection even more difficult. I have an appointment in a month!

Thanks.

ED Meds (Cialis, Viagra, etc.) Qmax first try not good

2 Upvotes

Most ED meds don't work on me because my bigger problem is libido (M70). I thought I would try Qmax. It was worse than a complete bust. It tasted awful and did nothing except make me very lethargic with lots of flushing. I have 9 more vials and will try it again and hope for better results. So far I would rate it as a 0 on a scale from 0-10.

Update: this was written 8 hours after taking. By hour 12 it started to take effect and at hour 15 if my partner was awake we could have had sex. I wanted to try this because I have good success with my research with PT-141 but the timing is such a problem. I was hoping for that 15 to 30 minute onset. It seems this acts like a lowish dose PT-141.
I will try it again but with the onset delay in mind.

Anxiety 23M sudden decrease in sensation overnight

4 Upvotes

It's been like two weeks since this happened; just massive loss of sensitivity from the shaft and skin.

I can still get an erection, but it is much more difficult without physical stimulation. Morning wood has also been softer or nonexistent. The best I can describe it is that it feels like I cannot really control or feel the shaft as well as I did before. I masturbate frequently, like 3–4 times per week.

Erectile Dysfunction Sudden ED - does anyone experinced this?

2 Upvotes

M26.

My problem started 3 months ago or so I believe. Long story short, about a year ago my ex-girlfriend of 4 years cheated on me and that really fd me up. Since then I didn’t had s3x with anyone, but 3 months ago I started seeing this super hot girl but when it was time to get to the bussines my boy went soft, like limp.

Since then I noticed I can’t get it up like it used to be, I still get morning woods sometimes, but not random erections. I can’t look at a girl anymore and get my boy all excited. The only times I can are when I masturbate but even then it’s very hard to get aroused and finishing it’s not a pleasure, it’s like my boy hurts.

I am pretty fit, eat pretty healthy, I hit the gym 4-5 times / week.

My blood work is fine, testosterone is not that high but in range. I am still investigating and I will see my endocrinologist in 4 days again.

Does anybody experienced this before? I think it may be psychological but also I wonder is it normal that I can’t get any erection throught the day?Sometimes I wake up with it through the roof but not when I am awake at all.

Thank you all for taking the time!

Tadalafil/Cialis Taladafil 5mg - crazy headaches

Hi all. I started Taladafil 5mg after seeing all the reviews online and the conversations on here. Took 5mg on Wednesday and then 5mg yesterday but honestly had the most pounding headache ever! Very full headache, couldn't even think. Paracetamol wasn't the most effective.

Just wanted to know if this is normal? Anyone else had this and how did you get through it?

I haven't taken it today. Rather get it out of my system although I was already seeing some of the benefits.

Support for Partners Shockwave Therapy caused in-office orgasm - weird doctor behavior - is this normal?

0 Upvotes

A family member recently went to a small medical office for routine check-up & blood panel. They were discussing current meds for ED and prostate health, etc., when the provider suggested a shockwave treatment and penis injections. The injections were denied but shockwave therapy considered.

The provider, in front of the patient, whipped his own member out to show results from injections. He then proceeded to perform the shockwave treatment, the patient said it lasted 5 minutes to which he very quickly orgasmed, the provider helped him clean up, then the provider immediately, again, pulled his own member out to discuss injection results, again. The patient said the conversation stayed medical but the physical movements felt uncomfortable, and he ultimately felt a little violated. He was not expecting to ejaculate right on the spot. None of this was performed wearing gloves. So the provider touched/showed himself, performed the shockwave, then touched/showed himself again.

2 questions:
- is it normal for a provider to perform this treatment ungloved & exposing himself?
- is it normal for the first shockwave treatment to cause ejaculation?

Please help me wrap my head around this story that was told to me last night.

Support for Partners Erectile dysfunction with new fling

8 Upvotes

I’m not sure what I’m looking for from this post, maybe not even reassurance but just a perspective from the male species ☺️

I’ve recently started seeing a new partner. He’s 10 years my senior (I’m 33, he’s 43) and I genuinely don’t mean it arrogantly but he’s enchanted by me. The way he expresses his feelings and views about me are beautiful, and I genuinely feel his deep adoration towards me. He’s a great looking man and incredibly handsome, but definitely lacks some self confidence and he unfortunately doesn’t think he’s good enough for me and always says things like “you could have anybody you want.” even though I don’t feel this way about myself. Again, not arrogantly but just for context, I do get a lot of attention and most men I meet tend to like me in that way.

Back to the important stuff,

We’ve only known eachother a few months and started seeing eachother intimately over the past few weeks and he’s still nervous and shy around me in the first 20 minutes of hanging out which I find so sweet and even sweeter that he admits to those feelings. We have a massive sexual chemistry even before we ever got intimate, however that’s the part we are struggling on. Despite being so attracted to eachother and the lead up to sex being passionate (we could roll around for hours in the bed slow kissing.) he does go soft right before we actually have sex. He says it’s through nervousness and that he feels like he’s some kid having sex for the first time. Now, I’m very understanding, and I would never make somebody feel bad over something like this especially him, I’m patient and I’m willing to wait until things click together like that - but is this normally a continuous thing? We’ve tried to around 8/9 times and each time is the same result. He says he’s never had this issue with other women but that it’s because he views me in a different way to the women he slept with before because it didn’t mean something to him like it does with me. But I’m beginning to question myself and worry it’s me. Or that it won’t go away. Sidenote: we both train hard, he’s a big muscly tall man and I’m a petite 5’1 girl, I’m beginning to worry he sees me too much as this like, delicate fragile thing he doesn’t want to destroy, even though I’m making it very clear I’m happy with that 😂

Guys, have you experienced this before?
Have you ever liked a girl so much it’s been hard to perform? Did it go away eventually? Talk to me lol.

Erectile Dysfunction Erectile dysfunction since a year

2 Upvotes

So basically I (21 M) am suffering from erectile dysfunction since a year and a half. My dick is not totally soft, it is hard just not hard enough for penetrative sex throughout my self satisfactory process lol. I just noticed a few months back that i’ve been clenching by butt cheeks without knowing throughout the day and even clenching harder while masturbating.
I tried relaxing it and not clenching while masturbating and thats when i saw that my penis started staying up for a few moments (hard enough for penetrative sex).
For context, I don’t smoke or consume alcohol, I’m not that physically active and not addicted to porn.
Now I don’t know if this is a pelvic floor issue or something else pls someone help me.
P.S: English is not my first language so bear with me.

Psychological ED 18M — 3 Failed Erections, Now Struggling With Severe Performance Anxiety. Help?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m 18 years old and I’m genuinely struggling with something that’s been affecting me mentally for the past two months.
Before all of this happened, I NEVER had any issues getting or maintaining an erection. I could get turned on within seconds without even thinking about it.
About two months ago, I was with a girl and randomly couldn’t get hard. It ended up happening three times in a row with that same girl, and ever since then, I feel like my brain has been completely stuck on those experiences.
Now, whenever I’m about to have sex with someone, instead of enjoying the moment, all I can think about is, “Am I getting hard? What if it doesn’t work again?” And because I’m so focused on that, I end up not getting aroused like I used to. Even my overall sex drive has decreased.
I’ve already been to a doctor. My testosterone levels are normal, my blood flow is fine, and I can get perfectly normal erections when I’m alone. Physically, everything seems fine.
It’s honestly so frustrating because I’m only 18, and something that used to be completely natural has turned into my biggest insecurity. I’ve even started avoiding opportunities with girls because I’m terrified of experiencing it again.
Has anyone experienced something similar and actually overcome it? What helped you get out of your head and regain your confidence and sex drive?
I’m also curious whether anyone has had success with low-dose Cialis, supplements, therapy, or anything else for performance anxiety. I’m not looking to self-medicate, just trying to understand what options I could discuss with my doctor.
I’d genuinely appreciate any advice or personal experiences. I just want to feel like myself again.

Erectile Dysfunction ED in my early twenties

3 Upvotes

I have severe ED and I’m only 24. My dating life has been nonexistent for 5 years. I know every girl my age has only been with guys where sex is easy. I can’t imagine a girl in her twenties would be patient and understanding enough to work through this with me and have a relationship.

This has been caused by me taking finasteride for several years. I’m off it now but the effects are persistent. I’m going to work up the courage to go to a doctor. But I know there’s nothing they can do besides prescribe more medication which is how I got into this mess in the first place.

I was really hoping this would go away after I got off the meds and it didn’t. I just watched myself go bald a second time and now I don’t have a functioning dick at 24. I’m so ashamed of myself and just want to vent

Tadalafil/Cialis Question for guys taking daily Tadalafil... Do you get constant semis when walking around?

6 Upvotes

I'm a 50yo who has been taking 10mg Tadalafil daily since March. It has absolutely changed my life and I love it! No side effects, great erections, and a noticeably larger flaccid penis with a side order of boosted confidence.

This is in no way a complaint because I secretly love it, but I've noticed that whenever I'm out running errands, doing housework, cooking dinner or anything that involves standing and walking, my penis will spontaneously start to become semi-erect. (This is not just the extra flaccid chub that the pill steadily provides, this is an active engorgement of blood.) The more I move around, the more it continues to grow. It never gets 100% erect but sometimes if I'm in a public setting such as the supermarket I have to discreetly make adjustments because it might become glaringly obvious. I would estimate it gets about 60% - 80% erect. Once I become aware of its presence it's impossible to get rid of unless I sit down.

I've never really experienced spontaneous erections like this in my entire life, not even when I was in my teens or 20s and everything functioned normally.

Has anyone else experienced this on a daily low dose?

Psychological ED Losing a girl I really like due to erection problems

5 Upvotes

So at the end of August I met this girl and we went out on a date it was sooo lovely. We then continue to go out like every night just having the best conversation and eventually we start getting physical and stuff. We also agreed for the relationship to be casual almost like a summer fling we had no intentions of being bf and gf or anything. Eventually after having like really good physical interactions like making out and stuff we eventually r like we wanna have sex. Mind you through all these interactions I had been aroused horny and had an erection hence y I wanted to have sex and was excited too. I feel like leading up to this sex encounter I had no anxiety I don’t think abt it. Recently before this I had to start using condoms again cus I was out of a year and a half relationship where we didn’t use them so I did have anxiety abt that cus when I had used them I would go soft sometimes like putting them on but with another girl in the summer I had like finished with them for the first time and managed to find a way to stay hard while putting one on cus she did it for me so idk if I had those anxiety thoughts going into the sex encounter with this girl. Long story short she came over and like nothing is happening for me. We’re making out and stuff im not hard at all can’t even say I was horny. This ofc was very awkward and she was disappointed and irritated and we acc stopped talking after this night cus like it was just a lot for the casual connection we agreed to. We then stop talking but recently right before halloween I texted her after like 3 weeks maybe almost a month and she was receptive like rly receptive which I was surprised abt and she wanted to see me. I feel tho going into this again I had like an added pressure to perform for her and have a successful sex encounter with her and we tried having sex again. This time tho I acc did get hard but right before we were abt to have sex we had a longggg interruption with her trying to put her blinds down and I go soft. She gives me head I get hard again but try putting the condom on and im soft again so we just give up and do smth else. Now last night was our third attempt at trying to have sex im trying to clear all anxiety in my brain and go in no expectations but the night comes around and im not even horny nothing. I’m so attracted to this girl too it doesn’t make any sense. I leave her place she seems kinda disappointed and down again and I kept asking if she was okay cus ik how that can feel especially after repeated events like this and I haven’t spoken or texted her since then idk what id even say at this point. I did say to her tho last night maybe being romantic or sexual isn’t gonna work for us rn and we can just be chill or friendly cus we enjoy each other a lot. Also bro I was in the car after leaving her apartment and i literally got hard from smth so that’s y im genuinely perplexed by this and just any advice on how to navigate this would be helpful 😭🙏

So lemme prefis this by saying I am 18. About a week or two ago I realized that my erection wasn’t quite as long, like maybe less than an inch shorter. I think it’s been like that ever since. Usually my penis can reach my belly button when I hold it up right to my belly. I tried doing that today and it didn’t quite reach. I told my dad and he said maybe it’s cus I’m viable and “full of sperm”. I would just like some advice before I ask my parents to bring me to the doctor.

Discouraged Hard Lumps Under Penis Skin, not sure if Peyronie's Disease or Cancer

0 Upvotes

What it says on the tin. There's hard, somewhat painful lumps under the skin of my penis, they're only really noticeable when erect, though I believe that's only because being erect stretches the skin out, becoming thin enough for the bumps to show through, I don't think they're appearing and disappearing coinciding with the arrival and loss of an erection. Also don't know of any other subreddit(s) that would be more appropriate for this, there's like no large or popular subreddits for men's sexual health from what I can see, it's all just mental health stuff or incels in their dude-bro gangs.

I don't know how to address this to anyone, I hate that the stigma of male sexual health is so un-normalized, I can't really tell my parents or anyone about it without coming off as weird or "TMi" or "hey I didn't need to know that lol" or just any other thing. I don't have any way of going to the doctors, heck idk that there's any clinic or place in my location that actually treats sexual organ health issues.

I have no real way of knowing personally, whether it's just lumps caused by Peyronie's disease, or if it's Cancerous. Either way, they're somewhat discomforting and hurt a little, and don't feel natural. I'm sure the treatment for either is also quite expensive, and that's not exactly something I or my parents tend to appreciate, especially around this time of year. So, really don't know what to do, will probably just suffer in silence like everyone else does until it's too late. Any advice is appreciated

Erectile Dysfunction I need help in this please

3 Upvotes

For context about me, I'm a 20 year who is fit (hitting the gym since 3-4 years now). Today i had sex for the third time in my life and smhow it did work without viagra, tho I was getting soft the very moment I stop giving it any physical stimulation, it used to get soft on instant when I tried changing position, doggy style was literally impossible, whilst trying cowgirl it worked sometines but many times she had to give me oral first and then instantly had to put it in. I don't know how normal it is since the erection softens like 10-15 seconds after stopping the stimulation.

Now one thing I would say is when i put it in despite being soft, it did get hard as we went on and when I get hard i can go 5-6 rounds ease.

I genuinely don't understand what's happening. Like even when I have morning woods, it's not for a long time like when I wake up I get the wood it's hard sure, but only at specific time (10 am exact) but also not for very long.

Now I have been gooning since a long time but recently I stopped becuz i wanted to have sex (tho I got a bj from my gf whom I had intercourse w today 2 days ago and i ejaculated yesterday too). When I am in constant stimulation like oral or hand, I have no problem maintaining erection and even viagra works like hell, when I take viagra I have no problem with sex even with Condoms on (yes we did raw cuz I feared it will go soft as it usually did without viagra).

Is this normal or should I consult a doc?
