I have performance anxiety ED. I have a success rate of 50/50 when it comes to fucking. my erections is fine when it comes to morning wood, handjobs and blowjobs but as soon as my brain realize i gotta put it in, my anxiety gets so bad and lose my erection.

Im trying to get prescribed tadalafil

When I had ED, I swore my penis was smaller. If you are squeamish, stop here. it's TMI. But anyways, my penis was shriveled up. Sometimes it would even turtle into my pelvic area as if my penis were flipping inside out. Not only that, my testicles were undescended. Like my testicles didn't descend past my penis. It was like I regressed into my pre-pubescent stage. I'm not even messing with you, this is all real.

Now my testicles descend past my penis and hang loose. They dangle like those hanging dice cubs on the rearview mirror. Not only that, my penis is more plump than it was before. It just looks and feel fuller.

How do I know this is not my imagination? Because I oscillate between these two states. I am healed from my ED, but this isn't like a binary thing. My penis and testicles still has those shriveled up moments every so often, but other times it's loose and plump. It's just that over time, it spends more time being plump than tight. It's like a process of loosening that happens over time.

So yes, fixing my ED did increase my size.

I know it’s too early to tell but I’m on day 3 of no gooning or edging. This morning I woke up to morning wood for the first time in a while. I did look at some porn last night but I didn’t touch myself. Today I’ve been thinking about some fantasies in my head and I’ve gotten soft erections that have gone away within a minute. I haven’t been able to get any sort of erection unless I’m constantly stimulating myself in a long time. I just gotta start fixing my sleep. I only get 4-6:30 hours of sleep a night

Hello All,

I’m 28, been with my girlfriend for 12 years and we have been living together now for 9 months.

Within the last 3 months I feel like I have some form of erectile dysfunction. I’m extremely attracted to my girlfriend & always try to initiate intercourse, however for some reason I suddenly cannot get an erection at all. To the point now where it has majorly impacted my confidence.

I’ve always had an extremely high sex drive & would get erections very easily, something as small as a gentle kiss. Before we lived together I probably masturbated to porn around twice a week to deal with the urges, however now living with her I’m completely cold turkey. Since stopping watching porn all together though it sort of fits with the time frame of being unable to get erect.

I’m extremely active weight train 4 times a week, hike, climb & train BJJ. I’m probably in the best shape of my life and since living together I’ve been eating even cleaner.

I’ve been to the doctors and had blood tests and everything has come back normal. I was prescribed Tadalafil which my body responded to extremely well, however when it wears off I go back to being completely unable to get an erection.

Has anyone been in a similar boat or could offer some advise ? We’re going to try for a baby soon and this is really stressing me out

I’ve taken it before a few times, and got a generic brand awhile ago. Was planning on using it again soon, and noticed on the box it says it expires may 2026 - my question is, is it still safe to take?

Just hit 40 but last week my erection quality has been mixed.

One hour seems like I can get hard quickly and rock solid, Then later on takes ages and not as good.

Only thing I can think is did heavy squats and might be tight? Also consuming lots of alcohol celebrating birthday? Very bizarre also been a tad anxious about hitting 40.

So I been working hard and watching less and less porn trying to ween myself off of porn. It’s been working and I’m starting to notice slight erections sometimes. But I notice I always have to masturbate to get hard. How can I have thoughts lead to erections? What should I do I have so much anxiety about not feeling good enough

For context, I am 17 and my gf is 18, whe have been daring for 3 months now, we both know each other’s parents and everything is good.

I get hard most of the time, when we kiss, dry hump and do all these things, but when it’s time to do it it just goes down, down to the point where it is smaller than usual.

We were dry humping, i was hard, it was looking good, I went on to put condom, and it just started to go down, and other time when it got up, I tried to put it without condom (just testing cause we are both virgins) it didn’t go that quickly down, but just slightly.

It isn’t the end of the world because my girlfriend is so supportive and all that but it bothers me a bit

What should I do?

I would like to hear from people who have erectile dysfunction due to penile nerve damage.

How did you find out that your ED was caused by nerve damage?

What symptoms did you experience?

What do you think caused your nerve damage?

Which tests did your doctor perform to confirm nerve damage?

Did you undergo any treatment? If yes, what helped?

Has anyone experienced nerve regeneration or recovery?

Did any medications, injections, or surgery improve your condition?

I would really appreciate hearing about your personal experiences, diagnosis, tests, and treatments. Thank you!

I'd like to share an anonymized case and hear your thoughts.

A 42-year-old man came to me in November 2026. He and his wife were planning a second child, but his semen analysis had shown abnormal parameters, and a subsequent DNA fragmentation test also showed unfavorable results.

He had undergone two surgeries for left-sided varicocele, the second one in June/July 2026. Despite the procedures, his semen parameters had not improved as expected.

At the same time, he described several other issues:

• Reduced libido.

• A long period without noticeable nocturnal erections.

• Chronic work-related stress.

• Poor sleep and frequent nighttime awakenings.

• Persistent tension around his neck and upper back.

• Very little time for regular physical activity.

He also reported feeling physically and mentally exhausted.

We began working on general mobility, gentle pelvic exercises, breathing coordination and relaxation. The sessions included hip mobility, pelvic movement and breathing-based exercises. We also monitored his functional state using HRV measurements.

Something interesting happened after our first session.

Within the following days, he reported:

1. Less tension and greater mobility in his neck and upper back.

2. A headache episode that resolved without his usual pain medication.

3. A noticeable improvement in his subjective experience of erections.

4. One night, he woke up around 3 a.m. with a firm erection, something he said he had not experienced for quite some time.

He also described a noticeable reduction in tension and a greater sense of ease and freedom in the pelvic and groin area.

He directly attributes these changes to our sessions. According to his account, he noticed the first positive changes immediately after the initial session, and the following days further confirmed this positive trend.

A repeat semen analysis to assess sperm DNA fragmentation has not yet been performed, so we cannot comment on changes in his reproductive parameters at this stage.

I'm interested in discussing a few questions:

1. Have you noticed changes in nocturnal or morning erections after addressing chronic stress and sleep problems?

2. Has anyone experienced improvements in erectile function after working on hip mobility, breathing or pelvic floor relaxation?

3. For men who have undergone varicocele surgery, did your erectile function change independently of your semen analysis results?

I'm particularly interested in personal experiences and evidence-based perspectives on the relationship between the nervous system, pelvic floor function and erectile health.

Hi everyone,

My boyfriend and I have been having bedroom issues for the last few months. We’ve seen some improvement, yet we’re definitely not where we want to be.

Started as not getting hard/staying hard. Now, gets somewhat hard but can’t finish. Since this has started, we’ve probably been able to successfully be intimate to completion 5 times.

Overall, he mentions not having any libido/desire to have sex. If I am not initiating or blatantly saying I want to be intimate with him, then I don’t know if we’d ever have sex.

I’m really bothered by his lack of attention to this. I have tried to encourage him to go to the gym, eat better, and prioritize sleep. I’ve also tried to get him to see a doctor, yet he really doesn’t seem to be putting any effort into fixing this. His mentality is that this will fix itself and won’t be like this forever.

Some notes: not depressed, not anxious, doesn’t masturbate, doesn’t watch porn. Has gained some weight over the last few months. We’re both in college

My question is how can i support him and encourage him to work on this while setting boundaries that I’m not going to accept this forever? We used to have a great sex life, and now it feels so emotionally draining to try to be intimate with each other (at least on my end).

Really struggling with this, with my self-esteem, etc. Our relationship is suffering because of his lack of attention and urgency to try to do anything to help fix this. I’m not embarrassed if we have to try medication, and I’ve offered to spice up the bedroom and try in anyway i can to get him excited.

21, fit-ish, no major health issues. I've been masturbating for a long period now — years — and my sessions have gotten really long. Like 30-45 mins of edging, sometimes twice a day with a pretty

1. Morning wood basically stopped. Earlier it was regular, now nothing for a while.

2. When I actually use my hand, it gets erect fine. But the moment I stop touching it, it goes soft again in a minute or two. No spontaneous erections during the day either.

So basically it only works when I'm actively stimulating it. If I just leave it alone, it's flaccid.

The thing is, I'm avoiding getting a penile Doppler done because I know I'll spiral into health anxiety if I sit in that waiting room. So I've just quit masturbation completely for the last 1 week — cold turkey, no porn, nothing.

Wanted to ask:

- Has anyone here been through this and did it come back?

- How long did it take before things normalised?

- Is a week of abstinence enough or should I give it a month?

- Is Doppler actually necessary at this age or can I just fix lifestyle first?

- Anything specific that helped — sleep, gym, diet, supplements, anything?

Not looking for a diagnosis, just want to know if this is a normal phase people snap out of or if I'm actually cooked. Thanks.

Psychological ED – Tadalafil for my upcoming honeymoon. Need some advice.

If you've experienced psychological ED, you probably know how frustrating and stressful it can be.

I've already tried Sildenafil 25 mg (Viagra), but unfortunately, it didn't work for me.

Now Tadalafil (Cialis) is my next hope.

The problem is that I don't have much time because my honeymoon is tomorrow. I'm looking for something that can help me in the long run, but I also need something that works for immediate performance.

I'd really appreciate advice from people who have experience with Tadalafil, especially those who have dealt with psychological ED.

A few questions:

1. Is it better to take Tadalafil daily for a certain period, or only when intimacy is expected?

2. For occasional use, how long before sex should I take it, and what dose is generally used?

3. Can Tadalafil help me get and maintain an erection even if I have little or no sexual desire at that moment?

4. What are the possible long-term benefits and downsides of using it?

5. Are there any risks of heart attack or other serious complications, particularly in otherwise healthy men?

A little about me:

• Age: 35

• No known heart problems

• No diabetes or asthma

• No other known medical conditions

I'm not looking for a miracle cure. I just want to get through this important occasion without constantly worrying about whether I'll be able to perform.

Any genuine experiences or medical advice would be appreciated.

Since last 10 years I am struggling with ED. Thought it was due to porn, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. No morning woods and recently when I was with a girl and had Viagra, still I couldn’t get hard enough to penetrate. Last year when I did penetrate with Viagra a girl, I ejaculated in 5 seconds.

Healthy, going to gym too. Have blood pressure and cholesterol. And anxiety and fidgety, and potential adhd.

While doing foreplay, I don’t get any feeling at all. Even sensation doesn’t feel much.

What’s the probably cause?

After getting tadalafil, I still couldn't get it up.

She began giving me a handjob.

It came up strong.

She pushed my erect penis down while giving me the handjob.

It gave me pain at the base of my penis.

She did this twice.

The next day, after consuming more Tadalafil, I managed to have sexual intercourse and my penis was up in a proper manner.

However, there is still mild pain at the base of my penis.

Could I have damaged my penile suspensory ligament? Will this heal by itself?

Has anyone else had their erect penis being pushed down during handjob?

I 33M have noticed weaker erections in the morning since almost an year. I do get hard when I notice in middle of night at times but it's not rock hard at it used to be 3 years ago or before

Got married recently and I have not been able to do it even once since I lose my erection quickly with her

Got my blood test done and I am

deficient in vitamin D

vitamin b12 borderline deficiency and low ferrartin

even though my hemoglobin is good

I have went to a doctor and he gave me supplements for vitamin D and b12 but not for ferratin as he mentioned my hemoglobin is okay

Healthy body weight and no other health issues except I am a light sleeper

I have been masturbating regularly with p*** till I got married and I have not masturbated since 3 and half month ago

I am active do weight training regularly and jump rope for cardio

Is ferratin really important ?

Is it performance anxeity or physical or porn induced ?

I suffer from a confimed venous leak (confirmed by Doppler) , the uro has only presciped me daily tadalfil but no intervention to actually solve and repair the leak. Has anyone ever solved this kind of issue, where an intervention is possible to actually repair the leak and be functionnal again ? Has anyone reversed this condition ? Pls help , thx

Hey folks, trying to make a decision here which one would be the best and safest option, need to go full gas no breaks with performance.

Appreciate your feedback.

Hello,

ED success story. I creeped and followed on the page a long time and eventually started Tadalfil 5mg daily. Backstory is 40 yo, no health issues, was overweight and started suffering from losing erections after penetration. After doing research and talking to doc we decided on the daily and it's done wonders. I also started working out and have lost approximately 30 pounds. My sex life has improved so much that now my wife is asking for multiple rounds. I'm curious if anyone has any pointers on ways to improve or help my refractory time. I am a one and done now, where several years ago before issues started I could easily pull 2-3 long sessions. The desire is there, just can't get it back up to keep going. Anyone have experience with this? Thanks in advance!

I just heard about PT 141 peptide for libido and arousal...any have any experience with it or with any other peptides for sex desire ?

Me (24) and my ex (21) have been dating for almost 8 months. During that time, I was struggling to get a full erection for penetrative sex, something that has caused tension in our relationship. I was able to get it up once and we had great penetrative sex multiple times that day. She was my first sexual partner and she has had others but that doesn’t bother me at all. She also has other sexual preferences, such as BDSM stuff with her being dominated (knife play etc) which I wasn’t against but wasn’t able to fully explore due to my ED. I tried other ways to please such as giving her oral sex which I was good at but she says that she doesn’t really like that but prefers PIV the most. I told her that maybe perhaps it’s due to my porn consumption and masturbation habits which I stopped in order to fix the issue. But she got visibly upset about that and felt like the relationship isn’t worth saving. I’m seeing a urologist next month to figure out what my issue is but she still decided to dump me. I can get hard but it just can’t get firm enough for penetrative sex. It also doesn’t help we’re in a long distance relationship and I only saw her once a month. What should I do? I just feel so terrible about this whole ordeal. She says we’re not sexually compatible

How y’all doing, 29M here, first i’d like to provide some context:

I was in a 9 year long term relationship where the sex frequency was normally active (1 every 3 days aprox) and the sexual chemistry that developed over the years was perfect.

I could always get and stay hard on intercourse and get off. If i watched too much porn or jacked off a lot the only thing that would happen to me is that i would last way longer and had to finish off manually but always got the girl satisfied and never lost the erection.

This relationship ended 5 months ago and since then, i’ve had 3 instances of casual hookups. And some of them have had this problem. I’m gonna describe the situations for you:

Situation 1) : Met a girl who i really liked, at some work event, nothing happened that day, had her number, made conversation flow and let the tension build up untill some day we went out for some drinks and naturally came back to my apartment and had some good chemistry sex, the girl left very satisfied and the night was a success.

This girl was a 8.5-9/10 with a very attractive body and submissive but active sex style which i liked a lot.

Situation 2): Went to a bar and got very drunk, but still conscious, and got into the mentality of “today i’m gonna fuck the first girl that i’m able to”, then literally some random chick saw my attitude and approached me with the intentions of bringing me home with her, note that i wasn’t really attracted to this girl, i was just very drunk and trying to fulfill my objective. (Maybe to prove myself)

Went to the girl’s house, started making out and during the sex i started to notice that i didnt like the girl much, it was something about her style with sex, there was not a lot of chemistry between us, i did the best i could, got hard and stayed hard for a good 15 min’ untill the girl wanted to sit on top of me, and made some bad movement that made my junk hurt, and that, with the combination of the girl not being really attractive with lights on, made me start to lose the erection.

Anyways i didnt’t panic, just got the condom off and started again to try and get hard with foreplay, and got to being hard again, but as soon as i put the new condom on and started to get it in, it just started to die again.

Finally i realized this wasn’t going to be the night and just called it off and got an Uber home.

This girl was at best a 4.5 - 5 / 10 with not a lot of sex appeal and chemistry, she was definetily not very good in bed and not even likable to me.

Situation 3) Went with a friend to have an arranged hookup with a friend of mine, a girl and her friend.

Because of what happened last time, i brought with me some sidenafil 50mg just to have a backup boost this time because i thought the alcohol afffcted me in situation 2.

We were to meet at a house and drink something for a while and then each couple would do their business in a different private room.

I saw the girl through pictures, she was like a 6.5-7/10 at first i got some initial attraction through what i saw on the phone.

Anyways, as the night went by, we put music and started drinking and smoking weed, danced all night, had some fun. But didn’t connect or get really attracted to the girl really to be honest, im not the dancing type and i got really tired of it (Also i trained very hard this week and accumulated a lot of body fatigue).

Then, at the end of the night, the moment came.
I wanted to have sex that night, but more psychologically than phisically. Popped 50mg viagra first

Went with this woman to a room, and i just couldnt connect, at difference with situation 2, i couldnt really get hard from the begining, it was like i had zero sexual atraction on this woman but wanted to bone.

Girl starts doing foreplay and after a couple minutes she was able to get me rock hard, but there was something off i was sensing. When i went to put the condom on and have PIV, same thing happened, got like 10-15 strokes in and it died out.

With this girl i didnt feel any chemistry, like the way she did foreplay or stroke it, it was just not my type, like really rough and overly exaggerated, it just made me hurt and not very aroused.

Tried to get hard again, got hard, put another condom on and same thing happened, got a couple strokes and it died. This girl got very dissappointed and told me that if i didnt want to be with her i just have had to say it and there would’t be no problem calling the night off.

After maybe 40 mins of trying, i called it off.

I couldn’t believe myself, that after popping literally VIAGRA, i couldnt mantain an erection.

What do you guys think about this? Do you think i have some kind of ED or is it that i just didnt like/click with these girls?

I’m 21 years old, 6’1 1/2 within the weight of 220-250 my testosterone numbers is 496NG, free tes is 74pg and SHBG is 50.9, i take vitamin D3,K2 and B12. And my urologist has me on 20mg tadalafil and 100mg sildenafil.

I’m here asking because randomly ill have days straight where im rock hard and going 8 rounds and other days out of nowhere like today where i can barely maintain an erection even while im inside and it’s very frustrating. I was wondering if it was a weight issue but no doctor has told me anything regarding it and or how it’s impacting me. And I heard those are the max does so i’m not looking to take more

I really don't want to stop watching porn. The problem is I jerk off 2x a day (37m). I have a very hot and sexy wife. I can get very hard and fuck her for 30 minutes but I just can't cum anymore. With porn I can cum 3 4 5x times a day

Is there a solution to this outside of stopping porn?

Good morning Gents,

I am writing this because I’m out of Europe for a certain time and my therapist recommended I should take some Cialis to help with my ED the only problem is that I m in the us and I wanted to get the medicine with my European prescription but it’s been refused and I can’t go to a doctor here so I wanted to know if some of’you went through Amazon only prescription service.

Thank you
