  • New member - a few issues

    Hey all, I'm a newbie here with some reoccurring ED/EQ issues.

    A little about myself and my predicament -

    24 years young, pretty active guy, I play sports and workout pretty regularly. About 5 years ago I had my first bouts with deoression, loss of libido, EQ problems, all of which culminated in performance anxiety ED. I thought I had put that portion of my life behind me but, alas, I am back in this same rut again. Like many who have gone thru similar struggles, it consumes me every hour of every day. I think I over did it with the supplement cure following the immediate embarassment and frustration of bring back in this situation. I'm going to add Bark Root Extract to my daily L-Arginine regimine and stop taking all other supplements. I feel that by revolving my day around taking supplements for my dick is only exacerbating the issue.

    I am relatively sure my problem is more psychological than mechanical. A month ago, after spending 4 weeks with my new girlfriend, I was having sex 2 and sometimes 3 times a day. I definitely got a little exhausted, but my EQ was great this whole time, despite the thought in the back of my head that I wouldn't be able to get it up (which eventually did happen). My size is pretty damn good, something I've always been very proud of when things are working properly. I'm not sure when and where this anxiety and depression about my manhood started...

    I've got a pretty comprehensive plan of attack. Gonna lay off masturbating for a while, maybe until I see the girl again. Switching to Bark Root and L-Arginine only as far as supplements for erections. I'm going to see a counselor as soon as I can find one who is available, will likely start a low dose of daily wellbutrin this week for depression (should also help with the sex drive), and to top it all off my doctor gave me a sample pack of viagra, just in case.

    So in addition to your general oponions/experiences as far as my story and plan go, I'm also looking for a way to get some sensitivity to my penis back. It has subsided a little, and while I last a lot longer, sometimes I last so long I can't even cum. Even by myself I've felt as if I could just barely squeak one out. I've read something about fish oil, but that's about it, and it wasn't the most descriptive.

    Thanks in advance, reading this forum has really helped me to see that I'm not alone or broken in anyway. Just going through a rough patch. Sorry if I left out any key info, sometimes there's just too much to type all at once.

      Thanks, I'll definitely keep at it. The last girl I was with for 4 and a half years wasn't such a physical relationship, which played a big part in me leaving her. My current girlfriend is a sexual unicorn, so I definitely don't wanna fuck it up. Picked up pycnogenol today, 50mg twice a day and then about 2000mg of L-Arginine. Might throw in some horny goat weed.

      Anyone else in the younger age categories find they have a hard time getting their docs to take them seriously? I can understand it to a certain extent, but it's still a bit frustrating.

      Any links to proper keel instructions?

      Thanks

        For those that have had success with L-Arginine and pycnogenol, about how long before you saw results? I'm not expecting something incredible after just one day, asking solely out of curiosity so I can know what to expect and how to gauge the effectiveness.

          Hey Keith!

          Welcome to the Gym.

          i am anything but in the younger age category; however, I have a lot of experience with l-arginine and Pychnogenol. With regard to the former, I found that it had a positive effect on my chronic diabetes induced ED almost immediately with a five gram dose. With regard to the latter, I use it to help with my macular edema, and have not noticed any significant effect on my ED.

          I would not recommend using any more than 25 mg of Viagra but only after trying all other alternatives first, especially non pressure encounters with your girl friend.

          i also found that jelqing had a positive effect on my ED. Accordingly, you might want to consider starting one of the beginners routine. Also, you should read https://www.pegym.com/forums/beginne...cess-here.html Lots of good information on what the Gym is all about.


          Good luck with your struggle with ED.

              Welcome Keith, be safe, consistent, persistent, and patient. Start with a healthy dose of self love. You have nothing to worry about with your penis. If you are with a unicorn then life just can't be any better. Try to erase your negative thoughts from even the back of your mind. If a doubt or other negative thought comes into your brain let it go out again and replace it with 3 positive thoughts. If you do this every single time a negative thought comes into your awareness then soon you will retrain your thoughts. Good luck brother and thanks for joining us.
              ALL THE WAY WITH GOOD OLE JAY!

                  Did my first round of jelqing last night. Intrigued to see how that goes. Has anyone dabbled in foreskin restoration? Can these two practices be done simultaneously (not at the same time, I just mean can I strengthen my penis doing one exercise and still expect to restore foreskin with a different exercise)?

                  Thanks again, I'm learning a lot of valuable info.

                    To help treat my depression, my doctor prescribed me Effexor. She was worried about the agitation of Wellbutrin. Now I'm reading that Effexor can cause adverse sexual side effects. Has anyone else dealt with that medication?

                      So I was practicing kegels in the mirror, something I've never tried before. I noticed when I contract, only my left testicle rises. Ever since my ED issues started 5 years ago, I've had a weird ache and discomfort with my right testicle, so I find it sorta weird that it does not move when I do a kegel contraction and hold. What could this mean? If my right testicle was not attached, it would have died by now correct? Could this be indicative of some other mechanical problem, and would it be related to erection issues?

                      Also, ever since I hit puberty I've been able to squeeze and make my dick jump when I'm erect. Still can. Could this have worn out my pelvic floor muscles over the past decade? Its something I do almost involuntarily now. See a hot girl, contract PC muscles.

                        Just wanted to share that I've been noticing a lot of inprovement the past few days. Daily supplements of L-Arginine and pycnogenol, ginseng, DHEA, a multivitamin, and ginkgo have helped a lot, even flaccid it feels larger and more firm. I've been lathering in shea butter everyday to increase sensitivity and softness. Kegels, reverse kegels, and jelqing all seem to be helping as well. Most of all I've just been trying to relax and be confident in myself. I don't test my erections anymore. When they come, they come. Been trying to workout more, and even tho i havent seen my woman yet, im feeling cool and confident. Cant wait to have her alone.

                        I'm sharing this just because I want others with similar issues to know that bring relaxed and persistent can yield results. And if you have a day or days when you feel off, let it go and don't be so hard on yourself. Focus on your success rate (which is likely close to 99%) and not your failure rate.

                        Quick question, of the supplements I'm taking, the only one I am curious about long term use is DHEA. I've been taking doses of about 10-50mg per day for 5 weeks. Should I cut back on this?
