So before moving on, let’s examine exactly what erectile dysfunction is, why it happens, and what the symptoms are. Erectile dysfunction is when the body fails to produce the chemical reaction that increases blood flow to the penis and constrict blood vessels carrying blood away.
When this discrepancy in blood pressure occurs, it causes blood to build up in the penis resulting in an erection. The reason that blood is able to make the penis erect is due to a couple of cavities within the penis that has extra blood when the man is sexually stimulated. These two cavities are called Corpus cavernosum and when they are filled with blood the penis is erect and able to perform sexual intercourse.

I have had issues with erectile dysfunction. This first occurred to me when I had a sexual encounter on a date with a close friend and had difficulty maintaining an erection. This was incredibly humiliating. I went to see a therapist and then a doctor about not being able to get it up. This has been a problem throughout my sexual and romantic relationships. It has taken me years to find any kind of adequate solution to the problem of my ED.
Erectile dysfunction is supposed to be something that only old people got, or so I thought. At 23 years of age, I started experiencing erectile dysfunction and it was absolutely humiliating, but after taking medications and finding a supportive partner, things turned out okay.
My erectile dysfunction began in my twenties and I was very surprised and disheartened by it. It really did a number on me emotionally as I felt that my entire sex life was over basically when it should have just been beginning. I did see two different Urologists. The first one was no help at all, the second one gave me more hope with medication
I have been suffering with erectile dysfunction for about 3 years now. It all started in early 2017, when I tried to preform, but couldnât. At first, I thought nothing of it. Now I realize, it was a little bit more of a serious issue then I originally though. I have now gone to a few different doctors about my problem. There were a few medications I was able to take, but nothing seemed to work. Finally, just last year, my issue seemed to get better. Sometimes, I still struggle to preform, but it has been better. My advice to anyone with erectile dysfunction is to KEEP TRYING different things, until you find something that will work for you.
I have suffered from erectile dysfunction for 5 years. My wife is not the problem, it is all me. I have tried everything, except Viagra. Perhaps now it is time to try Viagra as this is hard to deal with, both for me and for her. I get hard, but then when I go to enter, it just shrivels up. Very humiliating!
I started having problems with erectile dysfunction last year and I have taken certain steps to make sure it is resolved before it becomes difficult to handle. I have been to the hospital to and seen several doctors. I take their advice seriously and also don’t relent on taking my medication. It has had some negative on my sex relationship with my spouse but she understands my condition and supports me.
My partner dealt with erectile dysfunction for the first half of our relationship. He had an increasingly difficult time for much of the first half of our relationship. It was hard for both him and me to be intimate without the condition interfering. At first I thought it was my fault, that he was not attracted to me. It caused strain on our relationship and at one point we even broke up. Thankfully, we went to the doctor and he was given a medication. Now we don’t have as many issues when we are ready for pleasure. This condition puts stress on not only the person experiencing erectile dysfunction but those around them as well. I found my partner to get angry and aggravated when his erection wouldn’t come and last. We did end up back together and are now very happy in love and excited about our new sex life.
I have experienced some form of erectile dysfunction for the past ten years. I cannot pinpoint when I noticed something was wrong, however, things began apparent while I was dating. I became very concerned and I made an appointment to see my doctor. My doctor provided several solutions, some of them medication, however, I was displeased with most of my options. Later, I began using one medication to assist me, but side effects made the use of this medication not worth it. I am still suffering from erectile dysfunction, but I am in a healthy relationship that helps me manage this issue.
I feel like less of a man with my ED. It makes me withdraw inside of myself, and makes me miss out on sharing deep & intimate love with the woman I’ve loved for nearly 20 years. She says she understands, but I wonder how long her understanding will last. Soon if it does not pass, I will be trying a medical route to see what can be done.
