New Member and My story

**JackofallTrades** · 03-16-2011

Where to begin? I have been with my wife since age 16 (didn't get married until I was 22) and I am now 31. For the first 12 years everything was great in the penis department. Rock hard erections and the ability to stay erect as long as was needed.

Then 5 years ago I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Nearly died from not knowing what was wrong with me. My blood sugar was so high everyone in the ER thought I would be dead by morning. The blood sugar reading was 1800 and that is not a typo. I luckily did not slip into a coma or anything really. Oddly enough, I felt fine other than the extreme thrush that was devastating my mouth.

Everything was still functioning properly until around 3 years ago. The economy tanked, I lost my job, then subsequently the wife and I had to move in with my parents for lack of income. I was depressed and also trying to get it on with your wife in your parents house was devastating to my erection.

It was pretty much a downward spiral from that point. Although the wife and I could get it going enough for penetration and I could go for a while but it was no where near hard. And the act was no where near satisfactory for me. On the other hand, she could not tell a difference because while my erections were fading, she actually enjoyed sex more. She had started to have multiple orgasms during intercourse.

I ignored the problem but It had only got worse. When my wife would preform oral, she thought that I was losing interest in her because of it's 60% erect status. I still very much love and desire my wife. (She's really really hot, IMO) She on the other hand could not understand what was going on. Hell, I didn't either. I never thought I could experience ED at my age. Never even crossed my mind. I was just told by my GP that it was normal for diabetics to have weak erections.

My GP gave me a script for Cialis and a trial pack. I went home, popped a pill and had a raging erection for like 15 min. under direct stimulation. While I showed improvement, I was disappointed because I would normally last for at least an hour beforehand. Cialis was supposed to work for 36 hrs and it kind of stopped at around 16 hrs. I used up all the pills in 5 months because the wife and I are still very sexually active. Even with the weak erections. I stopped taking Cialis because of the expense.

I discovered this site about 3 months ago. I have been lurking and trying to absorb as much information as possible since. From the information I have gathered from this site about ED, my sex life has changed dramatically. I started drinking the Erection Tea (Green tea, ginger, cinnamon, clove and horny goat's weed w/ a twist of lemon), taking the 5G supplements and doing kegals; went from around 60% erect to now around 80%. I have discussed with my wife on starting the PE training regimen but she is kind of against this idea. Mainly because my penis when 100% erect is 9.5" by 7". She does not want to see gains but would like to see it back at 100% erect because she knows it feels good to me.

So I'm torn on what to do about PE training. Anyone have advice on how to gain back my 100% erection? I've given up on Cialis and other erection pills. (I don't believe I need them anymore) Only natural teas or supplements and exercise. Oh, I do not watch porn.

Well welcome to the gym. You know kegals and 5 minutes of jelqing a day won't make you larger but it can get you in "better shape". The whole idea of JP's beginners program is to get ole Mr Happy up to snuff. Why not give it a try and see how it works for you.I bet you'll be happy!

You've come to the right place, I thought my eq was like 9 or 10 when I started PE, actually... it was more like 7-8 compared to what I have now. Check out kingpole's posts, he's really good on the natural stuff, his posts made me drink green tea 2-3 times a day and I love it. https://www.pegym.com/forums/erectil...erections.html

Cool. I did not know that... I thought that jelqing would just enlarge. I'll get started today. Thanks for the info CUSP82

Jelqing will enlarge provided you do it alot and for a long time. Getting that circulation going with all the other things you're doing I believe will help you quite a bit. Let's just call it "toning".
