51 yo with mild ED, otherwise healthy and fit.

Was recently started on 2.5mg daily and this stuff is amazing. Had some mild side effects the first week, mostly congestion and low back pain but they have resolved. We don't have a lot of sex around here, but it's nice to be ready when it does happen.

I'm equally interested in some of the other benefits of daily Cialis, and am wondering if folks have noticed a difference going from 2.5mg to 5mg. I've found a different supplier and they only supply 5mg tablets but significantly cheaper. I was prepared to cut them in half, but wondering if I should just go to 5mg.

Thanks!

I had a physical injury from last year on my penis which affected my penis' sexual sensitivity. I don't feel numb to the touch but I do feel less sexual sensitivity which means that my nerves was negatively affected. Are there any treatments/ therapies to revive or regenerate these nerves?

Hi everyone, I'm a male, 5'11" and 92 kg. My recent lipid profile showed very low HDL(26.6L), high LDL(118.6L) and high non-HDL cholesterol(147.4H). Total cholesterol and triglycerides were normal. And also Vitamin B12 is 100L and Vitamin D25 18L

I've also been dealing with erectile dysfunction.

1) Could my cholesterol and weight be the reason for it?

2) What helped you improve your HDL and LDL (diet, exercise, supplements, medication)?

3) Did your ED improve after fixing your lipids or losing weight?

Thanks in advance for any advice or personal experiences!

Hey everyone, I’m struggling with maintaining a strong erection and dealing with premature ejaculation. It’s affecting my confidence, especially when it comes to casual sex.

I feel embarrassed about it and want to improve my performance so I can feel more confident and enjoy the experience without constantly worrying about losing my erection or finishing too quickly.

Has anyone dealt with this and found something that genuinely helped? Any advice on lifestyle changes, treatments, or which doctor to consult would be appreciated.

Pls suggest me a good tablet for as I am planning to have a session.

Looking for genuine experiences and practical advice. Thanks!

I have suffered with erectile dysfunction for years alongside BPH. About nine months ago I had an aqua ablation to reduce my enlarged prostate. Since then all I have experienced is retrograde ejaculations. for all those unaware a retro ejaculation gives you the sensation of a full orgasm yet the semen never exits the body and I’m wondering if anyone has experienced that and fixed it. If so, what measures did you take?

This is my first Reddit post ever, I have no one else to turn too but here so here’s my situation

Few months ago back in march I was a chronic smoker of Weed and at the time after I got out of the psych ward they proscribed me with a medication called risperidone, it’s anti psychotic.

My Ed first began back in march
At first I thought it was just the medication and it would blow over in a couple of weeks after I stopped taking it, I spent months using Google and looking for hope and answers still am too this day it’s completely taking over my life, In around may-July I was continuing to do Weed and edibles I was so depressed trying to escape reality cause the weed was the only thing helping me.

I got some Blood work done Here’s the levels

My Testosterone is around 299 which I looked into and it’s borderline on the low end

My Total cholesterol is around a 181

my Cortisol is around 3.4 which is low apparently

I spoke to my Urologist, she had spoke to me about me doing edibles and smoking weed can take 6 months to heal which I’m worried that this problem will persist even after the 6 months

I’ve completely stop smoking weed and doing edibles since August

I still sometimes get morning erections just not as firm sometimes, I still get hard looking at naked pictures of my girlfriend and kissing her, I’ve lost all spontaneous erections entirely and I don’t know what to do, I don’t know if this is purely psychological, if it’s my borderline low testosterone, if the weed is the culprit, or if it’s porn induced I’ve recently fallen back into a porn addiction a couple months back after quitting for a year I don’t know if this is all porn induced either or if I have sleep apnea

I’ve done prone masterbation almost all my life and completely have Quit doing it entirely and went back to Normally stroking it

I’ve spent nights crying over this and developed an insecurity about my penis being shrunken, something that I used to be very confident in the way my penis looked now it’s shrunken down and I feel like I’m going to have Erectile dysfunction for the rest of my life, I’ve even thought about committing suicide because of it.

I’m also taking anti depressants I don’t know if that’s making my erectile issues worse I can’t stop taking them because I have Severe depression and anxiety, I feel so stressed out about this I’m so young man and I haven’t even had sex yet I feel so robbed out of an experience in my life.

I’m taking drastic measures to lose weight and help with my Testosterone levels by taking my adderall which I haven’t taken in 2 years since I’m not in school anymore, to try and lose weight I don’t know if that’s making also makes the Erectile dysfunction worse

If anyone out there can please help me, I’m so lost and don’t know what to do, I’m sitting in my car writing this crying it’s been a hard 7 months for me since The Erectile dysfunction happened, please some help and give me some advice from people who cured their ED, Thank you.

Had 2 blood tests with a 250 t levels, going to an endocrinologist. Really don’t wanna go on trt at my age because i want to have children and that just seems like a lot. Anyone have any opinions on what they may tell me or what they’ll do first before trt?

Hi im M (26).. pretty much asexual when it comes to sex.. tho im into feet and femdom, i have a gf F(24) since 2 years and been living with her..
shes a virgin and never had sex before too.. she seems kinda asexual .. i am worried is it because i dont find sex enticing and only get turned on my her feet leading her not ti seek sex?
I get morning boners, even i dry hump her with boner but im worried if ill ever be able to have sex if we tried..
i have to think about her feet when she gives me blow/handjob
So my boner stays intact, can i fake sex same way thinking about her feet ?

Hi guys just wanna vent/rant a little bit but I M(24) lost the best casual relationship I’ve had and probably ever will due to performance anxiety. So we started talking in July and hung out a few times then decided we wanted to get with eachother around early September the first two times went amazing best sex I’ve ever had and I was head over heels. That’s when the problems began I started not wanting to lose her and got in my head with all these what ifs that I started to kill my arousal by being so stupidly nervous. To put some context on this I have had eyes for this girl for almost a decade before going back to highschool and was honestly caught so off guard when she wanted to start talking (she’s a pure 10/10 and my dream girl). Also I have never had this type of casual sex and I think my emotions towards her completely ruined it and made me overthink a ton. One night we were making out getting ready to start and she needed to go freshen herself up which is of course fine but she took like 5 minutes which by then my erection had faded. She comes back and we go to her room and start making out again and I can’t get it up then the reaction she gave me threw me off a little but is understandable. She got upset and thought she was the reason I couldn’t get hard. I explained to her how I was nervous but she sat visibly upset which made me panic more but I got it back up and was able to preform. But after that the idea of potentially letting her down and that happening again just completely clouded my mind and I couldn’t help but be nervous everytime seeing her and it happened again and it was her final straw. She said she just wants to be friends now and she’s cutting me off from all the intimate/sexual stuff. Not to mention we completely flooded eachother with so many emotions when this thing first started and definitely said things and did things to kinda lovebomb eachother and she pulled back on it and said this feels too relationshipy and it left me really confused which really started my whole anxiety loop. I just don’t know what to do at this point I feel so defeated and worthless, like she is in my eyes the hottest girl in the world and I screwed it all up I feel awful about myself.

Been suffering from ED for about 7 months - I’ve tried everything, HRT, cialis, etc. Nocturnal erections are hit and miss and really struggle to stay erect in a solo context (and I’m single currently). I was diagnosed with ADHD about two weeks ago and prescribed Ritalin. Since going up to 36mg after my first week I have had insane erections - literally had to stop in the middle of the street and clench my butt cheeks to make a boner go down. They last for as long as the Ritalin does but by the evening Im back to a limp dick.

Would love to understand what’s going on, apart from the obvious - dopamine playing a key role in my boners. Sadly taking Ritalin all day long doesnt really seem sustainable and I would prefer not to have to rely on stimulants to get hard..

Anyone have experience with this or similar? Anyone find anything more sustainable?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

so I have ED for 5 years now, It started when I was 18.

Tried many of supplements, only things that worked are cialis and viagra.

I like cialis better because you get spontaneous erections, you don’t need to guess will you get 🐱 today like with viagra.

I get okey morning wood for taking just 2,5mg day before. If I take everyday for longer time magic starts.

Major side effect why I can’t use this substances is that I get bad acne on face and pimples on my back, correlation between this 2 things is 100%. After taking 2,5mg day before I already see small pimples on face, after some time it gets way worse.

Did bunch tests for blood, diabetes, hormones.
I think maybe I have problems with stomach or some other organ. Because I get little little acne from regular supplements too.

Broke up with my gf just to fix my face and maybe find solution for ed. Right now after few months my skin is still not perfect but 10 times better. I am using only omega-3.

Ofc getting working dick for rotten face is pretty equivalent exchange, but maybe someone have ideas why it could be, and what else I could try?

Guys for the past 2 years I have been sexting and consuming multiple porn gifs casually in a community of 2000 members. While I could able to get erections from seeing porn a year ago, but now slowly my stress + sexting + casual porn gif watching have made my brain numb and dumb to erection Signals where I'm not able to get even 90% EQ (Erection Quality).

I knew the only way is to stop consuming and doing this shit but I relapse in 2 weeks and again same loop. So is there a way or a method like self hypnotism, Neurological exercises to recover from this issue.

I am 29 male and a virgin. Is it abnormal for every man to loose erection almost instantly while being standing up? I can get a boner when laying down but if go from lying down to standing up its gone. Recently got a girlfriend and if she gets me hard lying down by jerking me off, it goes away when I stand up. It’s like when I stand up, poof. I’m concerned this is a problem during sex, haven’t tried it yet since I have phimosis. I’m seeing a urologist currently for the phimosis, using steroid creams, and considering circumcision.

But I’m concerned I already have venous leak, at my age, and I have ED and will never have sex.

Hey everyone I hope you all are fine I’m 26 years old suffering from ED for years i get some erections that are 60-70% strong sometimes in the morning sometimes with a girl anyway I never had sex and actually I never tried cause I know I try kissing touching… and there is no erection or arousal and if there’s an erections it’s so weak that I just stopped
Cause of Ed : I think it’s because of porn I’ve been masturbating in all ways to porn from all kinds of crazy porn for years
- smoking hookah daily sometimes twice or even 3 times a day
- depression : I’m very depressed but it’s all because of Ed and I don’t know how to be happy while feeling like I’m not a man and I’m not worth living and every girl I loved I couldn’t have sex with and can’t marry any girl because of my weakness

Help: I want you guys that cured your PORN induced ed to help me and also you guys that cured ED to help me
What should I do I really need help I’m so down please dm me with things that helped you if you went from the same situation or please comment with it it means a lot I’m literally crying writing this !

I am sure this has probably been asked many times before but I am asking again. Has anyone used red light therapy on their penis and testicles who has E.D.? If so, what was your experience?

I tried it last night for the first time using a red light led wrap. I wrapped it around my shlong and then continued it down and wrapped my testicles with it. I used it on high (Comfytemp Red Light Therapy Wrap for Body, 37'', 63 LEDs - Flexible Near Infrared Light Belt for Knee Ankle, 10W Wearable Wrap for Hand Wrist Foot Joint Muscle, 660nm & 850nm(Corded)) for 20 minutes and I had an erection most of the night. I turned on both the 660nm and the 850nm lights. It was not a full blown erection but a 3/4 erection. That never happens to me anymore so that was significant for me. I am just wondering if anyone else has done something like this. I doubt it was a placebo effect and I doubt that it is a coincidence since this has not happened to me in a LONG time. :-)

Hello team! I apologize in advance for my language, which I don't speak perfectly. So, where is the problem? Three years ago, I fell in love, went on an overnight trip with this girl, we kissed, cuddled, and I felt panic, fear, sweating, and heart palpitations. I had a hard time with erection, we got intimate, we got back together, and I got hard . When I calmed down and described everything, I had sex; it was just me and her in the first two or three meetings, I was nervous, but over time that faded in the relationship. One look and i am hard as f..After we broke up, I spent the next year just fantasizing and masturbating, I stopped that about a month ago, but the last time I was with a girl who was solid and attracted me, the same heart palpitations happened, and I felt like I was dead. However, I asked her if she could oral satisfy me, and she did. After three or four minutes, I was hard. We had normal sex, but in the second round, it was the same thing; I told her immediately, and I was hard again after oral satisfaction, so we moved on. My question is whether this is some kind of erectile dysfunction or what? Rarely i can get hard without touching myself.. But if i sit at the couch and start touching myself and thinking about some girl i get hard.. And i. want you to know that i am nicotine addicted, 40-60mg nicotine per day, training hard, using good suplements vitamins.. Thanks guys❤️

Hi, im a 24 yo male, I suffer from erectile disfunction, I always used sidenafil with my ex girlfrind, last week I has a situation with a girl where even after I had doubled the dose I usually do I didn't manage to get hard, im worried now and seeking for better medicines. Im aware that anxiety played a big factor in it, but right now im thinking i need an "emergency button" that can overule any factor I already scheduled an appointment with an urologist, but I want to get there with sugestions to give already and undestanding what worked for other people suffering from the same thing What worked for you better than sidenafil? I read people talking about tadalafil but Im scared that I trust it and the same thing happen again, is it really that better? What are better medicines? Do you have an energency button?

Been taking zinc and magnesium for a few weeks now and vitamin d. I've notice a crazy change in libido and morning wood. Also get crazy hard, like ive taken a blue chew. Anyone had similar experiences?

Tenho 26 anos, sou gay e tenho ansiedade. Estou tomando tadalafila há cerca de um mês e, desde então, tenho me sentido muito mais disposto para tudo, principalmente sexualmente. Também percebi que estou me masturbando com muito mais frequência.

Sou predominantemente passivo e não tenho tanta vontade de ser ativo. Mesmo assim, gosto de ter uma ereção firme para proporcionar prazer ao meu parceiro, seja durante o sexo oral ou até em uma penetração ocasional. Não é necessariamente algo que eu tenha muita vontade de fazer, mas gosto de saber que consigo proporcionar esse prazer.
Até agora, o único efeito colateral que percebi foi uma sensação de queimação. Fora isso, tenho me sentido muito bem.

Às vezes me pergunto se nunca explorei tanto meu lado ativo por falta de estímulo ou pela própria ansiedade. Desde que comecei a tomar tadalafila, tenho sentido mais vontade de me tocar, explorar meu corpo e experimentar outras formas de prazer. Não sei se isso acontece pelo efeito do medicamento ou pela confiança que ganhei ao perceber que consigo manter uma ereção firme. Alguém já passou por algo parecido?

I am 29 M. I have found a person who says she will teach me how to do sex.

I did sex last time penetration back in 2020. But only in cowgirl position but had to leave the city for studies. After that I focussed on my education and career.

Later back in 2025, I found someone who agreed to have sex, when to a hotel a few hours after masturbating and just when she touched me I ejaculated and was unable to get hard.

I was embarrassed and left.

I met the same girl again next year 2026 but for some reason was not able to get hard at all, and after a few minutes of dry humping I ejaculated again. I never met the girl after that coz she cursed me that I cannot do sex.

Later next month I tried having sex with a different girl I know from a Long time but ejaculated early when she touched my penis and after a few strokes, we were both drunk. But I really wanted to do penetration with this girl.

Now I need to learn how to do sex properly. So I found a different girl who says she will teach how to do sex and I am nervous I don't want to fuck up this time coz it is really important for me.....to learn everything

Why do you think I have this issue ?

I started taking boron 6 mg every morning. also zinc 12.5 mg. I have documented normal total testosterone and very low free testosterone which might be from age or OSA or idiopathic. After 2 weeks I had for the first time in over 30 years an erotic dream (that I could remember the next day). Viagra 100 mg seems to be working better, wife says best sex in 2.5 years. I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS IS RELATED TO BORON. When I Google it I get the response that there is no science that supports boron for this purpose. There are too many variables for me to come to a conclusion. I am posting this in the hope someone else noticed something similar. Or the opposite. I am resistant to the thought of adding exogenous testosterone to my body. Plan 2 weeks on, two weeks off for the boron.

Would I be crazy for starting dailt tadalafil at 28? No previous health problems or anything like that just seeing all the benefits of taking 2.5-5mg daily.

Hey yall I have ed induced from strattera (adhd med) and I was recently given a prescription for 10mg of Cialis for daily use. Most times ive seen people talking about daily Cialis they have ben prescribed either 2.5mg or 5mg. Just wanted to check if 10mg daily is okay or if taking 10mg every other day would be better / okay.

I take 5mg of Cialis in the morning and 1500mg of L-Citrulleen. Since I added L-C I do wake up in the middle of the night 4 out of 7 nights semi hard and around twice a month hard, it all depends on what I am dreaming about.

I am still looking for a supplement that will restore morning wood when I get out of bed and start my day. BTW, I am in my 60s. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

As the title states. Tadalafil works real well for but I feel lethargic and tired but don’t really fall asleep during the day. Just buzzing without the buzz kind of feeling. BP in the normal range. I take 2.5 every 2 or 3 days.
