How to approach the subject of ED without being obnoxiousPage 3 of 9    (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
"I do believe there is a link to ED and porn addiction." - for crying out loud....shaking my head here.

There are a variety of reasons for ED from physical, emotional and psychological. And many treatments work and sometimes nothing works. It is frustration for any couple going through this - and it effects both in a relationship.

I think that ED can also be related to heavy smoking. I also am pretty sure that Viagra etc. is very dangerous for men with heart conditions. I heard of a man dying from this.

Dying from Viagra side effects or from sex over-exposure following Viagra intake?

Watch out for any heart attack symptoms.

From my experience, closing time is the worst time for anything to happen. But closing time is the time for all the promises they cant deliver.

this comes from a comment from an earlier page.

This is yet another post started by Op whining bout how she isn't getting laid. She flat out admitted that she has a boyfriend and yet talks about all this dating and the lack of success getting boned. Troll if you ask me.

Medically speaking, the vast majority of ED is psychological, not physiological. So, in this context, you weren't the one who get past what are most likely his issues. And, yes, most likely they are his issues.

.....it has affected my circulation to a point that Keeping and erection is difficult.


Poor circulation can and does exist for a seemingly otherwise physically fit non-smoking 45+ guy who regularly runs 50 miles per week, eats healthfully, drinks in moderation,
and has no other significant health challenges limiting any other physical activities.

When it comes to circulation, it helps to circulate between several dancing establishments with fit and attractive women.

Great idea. Just get on 401 westbound and drive for about 5-6 hours. Fridays or Saturdays. Twist or salsa.

40% of men over 40, so you have a 40% chance of ending up with a guy you don't want to be with. I guess if you really want to know, you'll have to ask before you even go out on that first date. But you have a 40% chance that he's going to lie.

In all honesty of all the men I have met since I started online it has been an non-issue ...one took the *blue pill as he called it, so I wouldnt worry about the 40% ...I think that would include men who aren't even on a dating site etc.

I had one on the phone before we met tell me he had an issue but it was her fault cause she was so small he couldn't get his finger to fit in...she had three kids...I declined meeting him not on that reason but I found him on other sites and all had different ages, he was somewhere between 55 and 70!

I am 51 ...have ran into this problem repeatedly in past 10 - 15 yrs ...it can be frustrating ...when wanting a serious relationship ... it can effect the quality ... but he must not be in denial ... willing to do something about it ...forget about pride ... then when you are willing to work with him ...he needs to be willing to satisfy orally ...and manually, to help satisfy you ... without complaint ... this is what the good life is made of ... partnership ..

Just read an article about male marine iguanas who have two penises.
I don't know if one serves as a backup, or if they engage both simultaneously, but I'm sure some researchers already work on isolating that gene.

Poor diet, lack of exercise and heavy drinking can all lead to this.

Not always. I just broke up with a man who is obsessed with exercise, eats sensibly and doesn't drink. I think that his issue is that he is an uptight individual.


At this point in our lives we should be mature enough to discuss health issues that can affect any aspect of a relationship. This shouldn't be any different than the person who takes blood pressure meds (which can affect libido!), bad knees, or horrific snoring!

One would think, but when I brought it up, he dealt with it like he does whenever he hears something that he didn't want to hear, he got up and left.


After all, who wants to be involved with anyone who is less than honest about something that is so important?

When I (nicely) brought this up, he said he didn't "need" it. Yeah right.


Run like the wind!

He did and I'm glad. Who wants to be with someone who is in denial and won't communicate?

Men change as they age as do women, there are some natural ways we all change and there are "changes" in the medical sense sometimes.

Ironically, black men are considered more virile but as they hit middle age they have the highest rates of impotence due to high blood pressure and diabetes.

Anyway, women change just as men do. I've been with women I wished to never see naked again ... breasts that lose all their starch and hang like empty bags, stretched out abdomens that hang like saddle bags, wrinkled little old lady butts, etc. and they're luckier in the sexual arena than men, all they need to do is spread their legs in the dark or under covers.

I spent most of my male life wishing I didn't have to walk around with a 24-hour erection and wishing I could have control over my life and use my "other head" more, so slowing down in that area seems like a blessing to me. At worst, a man just needs a blue pill, there is probably only a very, very small percent of men who wouldn't respond to that.

I am going to take a wild guess and say those guys were couch potatoes, smokers, over eaters, etc. Lack of exercise, a poor diet, smoking and drinking all turn the natural changes in a man into "changes" and can be reversed. Studies show that with smoking, even after quitting for 24 hours shows a positive change in erections, it's well known.

If you care about the guys, which you don't seem to, you might point out their habits or just spend a few bucks on some blue pills and help them out.

Also, penetration isn't the only way to get off and as you probably know, only a minority of women orgasm that way, anyway.

Unattractive women are the #1 cause of ED.


And ugly men are 100% responsible for the reported 50% of women who are not interested in sex, especially the married ones. My 65 year old sister's husband (he's 67) weighs 350 pounds, won't wear his dentures, and dresses in overalls. He couldn't understand why she stopped having sex with him.

When I was 54ish, I dated a man 11 years my junior, so he would have been 43. He told me right off the bat he had ED problem but it never surfaced. I have also dated men in that age range and younger who said that I "intimidated" them. It had nothing to do with me being ugly.

Not all women change like that.. Good grief what were you doing in bed with them? That would be a complete turn off not a turn on..

Testosterone replace is expensive & time consuming, you are merely treating the symptom not the underlying cause of the low testosterone..
Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.....


If the male glands have stopped working it doesn't matter what one eats, testosterone will not be generated.
