Senior Member londonhairlossvictim Posted March 26, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 26, 2021 Hey guys, I've never had problems when it comes to sex however recently in the last 2 months, with my partner I'm losing my erection or ejaculating too soon! I went and got it checked, everything fine and my health etc fine, however he did give me TADALAFIL which I tried for 3 days and was a horrible experience. Pain all over my body and read reviews on it and alot of people experienced what I did and never wanted to use it again. I can get an erection, it seems to be just with my partner. Generally I am healthy and eat clean too. The other option is Sildenafil (Viagra) Anyone have any experience in this field? It's horrible feeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an ongoing struggle lol. I went two months no sex, no porn(and by porn I mean anything "arousing") and no masturbation. Everything went back to normal and I felt 15 again, that was until I fell back into my old ways. I don't know your situation but it's an increasingly common problem among men nowadays.

Senior Member londonhairlossvictim Posted March 26, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 26, 2021 Yes I can admit I watch more porn than what I should be. It also started all of a sudden which from reading online and even visiting a Dr suggest that it's "psychological" rather than anything physical. I did try Tadalafil for 3 days, was a nightmare. Had body pains all over and was potentially looking at trying Sildenafil. I think for me I can honestly say it's porn. When you say old ways, how often would you watch porn? I would say for me it's maybe once/twice a week? But I'm 37 so we are talking over a long time right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of people will dismiss the problems porn can cause but I can only speak for my own experiences. ED rates in young men have skyrocketed over the past 15 years and I strongly believe that's in large part down to how easily accessible porn is an the infinite quantity of it that's available. I'm not trying to convince you or anyone else though, all I'll say is you have nothing to lose by giving it up and seeing if your issue improves.

Senior Member londonhairlossvictim Posted March 26, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 26, 2021 For sure thanks for this advice and I think I can relate to it. Even while being with my partner I've been watching it - not everyday but for sure it's there. I'm going to stop and see how it goes! When it happened for you, was it all of a sudden in a moment?

Yes, my libido died overnight, like just completely shut off. I don't know the science behind it but my brain basically had enough I guess. I have to stress though that porn comes in many forms. When you say "porn", guys just think of your typical pornhub video or something but arousing content is everywhere and it all needs to be avoided. It's no good avoiding porn but still looking at nudes or Instagram chicks all the time for example. Edited March 26, 2021 by BLE123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted March 26, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 26, 2021 Sounds like performance anxiety. I experienced this shortly after taking fin back in 07. The residual effects after stopping was that I developed performance anxiety, which is fear of ED happening again. If you can get an erection normally, it’s not your body it’s your mind. You know when its your body. When I got the side effects from fin I got ED with one girl. Afterwards I tried mastrubating watching pornography, nothing worked. Truly horrifying. 9 months after stopping fin, it happened again with another girl, but this time it happened as soon as I thought about it. Afterwards, I watched porn and I was fine. Moral of the story, the mind is powerful. Try to talk to a therapist to find the root cause of your anxiety. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member londonhairlossvictim Posted March 26, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 26, 2021 Yes more I think about it to myself I think it's in the mind for sure. Thanks for the replies guys this was really helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Future Hair Doc Posted March 26, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 26, 2021 Tadalafil and sildenafil work as phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. Tadalafil has a longer half-life than sildenadil. If you're experiencing side effects from tadalafil, you should not be on sildenafil. As Melvin noted, you likely have performance anxiety. Did your doctor just prescribe you meds without doing a complete hospital and physical? My advice does not constitute a patient-physician relationship nor as medical advice and all medical questions/concerns should be addressed to your medical provider.

Senior Member londonhairlossvictim Posted March 26, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 26, 2021 He wasn't a general DR. he was from a specialized Andrology centre in London. In terms of examining he asked me some questions, took a look, and then his approach was to give me TADALAFIL and then report back. He did ask me to do a blood test also for a specific profile that would go to him directly. I didn't do that yet. 3 days alone with Tadalafil was enough for me to decide I don't want to take that drug. Was insane body pain and has to use Ibuprofen couldn't sleep at night due to muscle pains. So I'm off that. His approach was then offering me to do shockwave therapy which is a pretty expensive course of some type of laser/shockwave treatment. I did not take that offer. Instead seperately just today I've ordered a small pack of Sildenafil to trial it out and see if I experience anything similar but from above replies from others for me also I feel it's in the mind that I have to clear up more than anything actually physical. The Dr I went to see didn't do any "tests" or anything if that's what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TorontoMan Posted March 26, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Performance anxiety is a real thing. It’s hard to be aroused and enjoy yourself if you’re thinking whether or not you’ll disappoint your partner. In truth, you need to be open and tell her you’re going through that atm, which many men do, and she’ll be aware and understanding. If you continue to hide your fear it’ll build up for both of you. First step should be thay, to calm your mind, and then fix your lifestyle. Exercise more, eat clean and absolutely rid yourself of porn. I’ve used sildenafil in the past just to try it out, didn’t experience any sides and it worked really well. Worked really well cutting the pill in half and even a quarter.

Do you still use Sildenafil? Do you remember the dose? Why did you have to cut it? I can see my problem is the porn, I'm def stopping it after this thread.

Senior Member TorontoMan Posted March 26, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 26, 2021 one pill was 50mg, and I was cutting in half so 25mg. I had a similar issue with some performance anxiety, I related it to fin, and I ended up getting it prescribed just to test it. Didn't want to jump into the full dose as I wouldnt do that with any medication, wanted to make sure small doses were tolerable. The first time I had a small headache and felt a little flush for the first 30 mins and then was rock hard. I used it a few times and it was always tolerable. i don't really need it, so I don't use it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Homeerestre Posted April 3, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted April 3, 2021 Stop watching porn if you have made it your habit already. I was a porn addict before and I ejaculate a lot, and that's the reason why I didn't have enough energy to have an erection with my partner when we do it. Stopped it, and it went back to normal after a week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
