ED

Post a new topicby pronetguy on Mon Oct 06, 2008 10:36 am

I am a 32 year old male in good physical condition. I eat healthy, stay active, and lead a pretty normal life. However, for the past year I have been experiencing increasing difficulty in getting an erection. Now for the last month, I have not had a single erection. I did see a Urologist and underwent some testing and an exam, but he claimed it is physiological. I do not agree. I did not feel depressed, inept, or otherwise down.....but certainly do now thanks to his diagnosis. He wrote me a prescription for Viagra, however it has totally failed to produce even a single erection after a month even with direction stimulation, aka oral sex.

My girlfriend has been understanding, yet frustrated. I have no idea what to tell her. She purchased some over the counter drugs in an attempt to help, but those had no effect either. I have no idea how to proceed, but I can definitely say it is now seriously starting to effect me emotionally. Is there any alternative treatments I can try? Should I see a psychologist? I am hesitant to do so, because my medical insurance does not cover 'mental health' issues and some of the prices I have received are just not affordable right now. Any out of the box suggestions or tips would be appreciated. Thank you.

hello pronetguy,

If the doctor told you that the problem was PHYSIOLOGICAL, that is the opposite of Psychological. It means that he thinks that the root of the problem is 'physical' not psychological. So there is no reason to go to a psychologist.

I and many people I know have paid ridiculous amounts of money for Viagra and Cialis and such... without any improvements. Many of those people resort to scam products like herbal pills (Which don't work) and pumps (which are dangerous). Some also use penile rings which could help. But if you are looking into a penile ring make SURE that its not a cheap disposable one. They lack certain characteristics and wear out, resulting in diminished results over time.

I use a penis ring, but its not a rubber one. Its a titanuim ring with grooves to promote blood flow and uses several elements that do not constrict to promote bloodflow... as this is the main cause of ED. I don't want to seem like advertising, but here is the link to their site. It's called the OQ Ring. [moderator note: website address has been removed]

So don't worry, I would save up some money and get this. Come's with a lifetime guarantee too.

Let me know if this helps.
