Is my ED psychological? Need opinions please.

I doubt something in a protein shake from 4 WEEKS ago will cause you any significant chemical change. It sounds like you are worrying about it too much.
I've used Yohimbine as a part of a fat burning stack before - it enhances libido/erections if stacked properly but if you use too much Caffeine with it you will get the opposite effect etc

I believe in Chemical P.E to an extent, but not before assuming the proper mindset!

Ok thanks for the info. But I took the shake about 5 months ago for a period of 4 weeks, just to clarify.

A protein shake does not cause ED, that is absurd. I figure you are young, so spontaneous ed is most likely psychological. Perhaps you couldn't maintain erection couple of times (too little sleep, over training etc) and you became concerned, which began a vicious cycle.

In theory venous leak is a possibility, it means difficulty in getting/maintaining erection. Only way to rule it out is to take doppler ultrasound. Pegasus guess may also be the cause.

Bottom line is that based on your description, it can only be speculated whether it is psychological or not. Viagra is most likely going to work so that you don´t need constant stimulation but it won´t really fix the underlying issue.

Trust me, I know viagra wont fix the issue... and yes, I am young...I was just wondering if it was possible for someone with a venous leak to attain 100% eq and stay that way without stimulation before climaxing?

If you experience difficulties in maintaining erection then you may have venous leak. That´s the straight answer. In your case it sounds unlikely. Are you able to maintain erection for as long as needed during intercourse?

I never tried having intercourse ever since my ED started... but my guess is that i wouldnt be able to. Honestly I also doubt it is a venous leak as it was pretty spontaneous and happened out of nowhere... but I guess it still could be...

The shake might have vaso constrictors in it such as caffinine that affect eq . This could then get in your head causing the long term issue.

What do you feel when you do a deep flat footed squat ( bum resting on heels feet flat)?

I tried doing a deep flat footed squat and I basically couldnt because my knees hurt...

I doubt a protein shake would cause ED. Now if you were on some sort of stimulant, like the ECA stack.... That would be a different story.

From my experience with bodybuilding, I can tell you stress from pushing yourself too hard in the gym will kill your erections for a while. The best course of action for this is either to workout a little less often or cut back on masturbation, because they both take their toll on your nervous system.

Do you ever get strong morning wood? If you do then it might be mostly psychological

Thanks for your input. However my urologist said that there might be a possibility that the protein shake indeed had some ingredients that could cause ED, but said that usually the effects are temporary.

I get semi-strong morning wood every now and then. Sometimes hard a bit. But not rock hard.

So some bad news for me. I tried viagra that the doc prescribed, and I felt like the erection was stronger, but I still needed to stimulate the penis every 10 seconds in order to keep the erection. Unbelievable. I was very anxious when "trying it out" too, but I think at this point anxiety can't hold back an erection for so long.

Seeing the doc next week. What a nightmare, and I'm only 27 (-_-)'
