Hey All, frequent poster lately, there is no better place for support so I hope you don’t mind my questions. Obviously I am on this medication because things don’t work like they should, I have also read a good amount of men have trouble finishing. This is a problem because our goal was to conceive, aside from IUI or IVF, I’m just worried now about the process. Things were already difficult and this was supposed to be the solve to it. Just feeling a bit hopeless again

I have a dull ache/soreness on my member since my doctors office yesterday, I’m struggling to cox myself to even a semi, feels less sensitive. Is this normal or similar to your experiences? I had an erection for 45ish minutes, and it was very strong - Doctor said something along the lines of muscles stretching further than they have in a long time, but I’m wondering if that was just lip service

Hey all, I’ve been posting a lot in this sub lately asking questions, I appreciate everyone’s help and insights, this is one of the best communities on Reddit. I just had my in office test with the doctor and I’m fully torqued right now, been so for over 15 mins now, it’s almost too hard so I might ask them to dial back the dose for the prescription. He did one shot of alprostadil and it got to maybe 50% but had a serious curve to it, then he did a second shot and voila. I’m only 35 so it’s good to see I can start with just the single medicine as I’m sure I’ll want the runway to move as I get older. My brain can’t interfere with this erection finally, hoping this builds my confidence going forward. I’ve been so sex avoidant with my wife for the past 8 years that I’ll need to retrain myself.

Anyone else here start this medication at the same age? I know I’m certainly much younger than the majority of people when they go on it

Hi all, I have my Trimix test appointment tomorrow. I want to hear from you on how you deal with the lack of spontaneity, essentially you control when sex happens too, so how do you help keep it from feeling one sided?

Any tips are greatly appreciated

As the title suggests, I’m curious if there are any people out there who have console telly come off TRT, then gone back on and experienced a second honeymoon phase?

I’m one of the unfortunately few who had a libido blast for a number of weeks only for it to dissipate - yes e2 and everything was in check, I posted my BW here and many ppl thought it was fine, maybe a touch high but nothing alarming

My brain is trying to ruin my life. I have extreme psychological ED. Anytime I find a way to get myself hard it’s like my brain turns off that switch.

I am not a porn addict m, but the other week I was struggling to get erect with my wife. The next day I tried to warm myself up ahead of time and watched some porn which worked then joined her in bed and we had successful sex. Now this week I am trying the same thing and I now have no interest in porn.

I know people will tell me it’s the porn but before this I almost never watched it, I a hundred percent agree it’s psychological, I am more so just pointing out how my brain stops me

For those of you who experience psychological ED with performance anxiety. Has anyone tried beta blockers? Seems like they can calm your body down and get you out of fight or flight mode, curious if anyone has tried this

I wish my dick worked. I feel like life would be so much easier if I didn’t have to deal with this. I am so envious of other men who can just live their life and have sex no problem. I am filled with so much anxiety each and every day, it puts a heavy toll on my relationship. That my rant, I’m sure many others here can relate.

As the title states - I went on HCG mono then added TRT in hopes to help my libido issues, which drive ED issues. Looking back I feel like HCG may have made things worse. Anyone else have this experience? I basically had no sex drive either way but I feel like I had better success getting an erections before. Or perhaps I’m looking back with rose coloured glasses.

Since ppl will ask - I am very healthy and exercise regularly. Before medication I was low normal, on TRT my levels got up in the 900s, E2 was in check, only real thing that I think could have still been a lab issue would be low SHBG

My ED issues stem from no libido. Because people ask, I am healthy, exercise almost everyday plus walks, eat well etc. I have done a multitude of blood test and seen multiple doctors with no luck. I have tried all the recommended supplements and even done TRT for a bit. The only thing that worked was a honeymoon period on TRT for 6 weeks but after I could never get the feeling again.

I have read about PT141 and am ready to try it. Mentally I can’t even fathom getting a libido from anything, so I am curious if there are others who suffered from non existent libido that had success?

As the title asks I am wonder who here has tried gel? I know it is not as potent as injections, but is it moderately effective? I don’t need an hour long erection, even if it were 10-15mins would be huge. Secondary question dos anyone know if it impacts sperm when trying to conceive?

So I have been on an ED battle the past 9 years or so - it has completely wrecked my confidence, mental health and drive overall. I feel like life would be so much more enjoyable and chill if I could stay erect and perform like your average male.

No Libido is my root issue, there is no sex drive so orals sometimes work sometimes don’t. I definitely think psychological factors are at play as I have now been in the vicious head space for almost a decade - I have my first appointment with a sex therapist next week but my wife is at her patience limit now. I need to put “wins on the board” asap, she’s given me plenty of time so waiting hopeful the therapy works is not an option.

I have a Trimix appointment booked with my urologist too, from reading I know it is insanely effective. But I want to hear more of the auxiliary impact it had on your life. Did it rebuild your confidence as a whole? Did it help you enjoy sex again? Did it help with your relationship? Etc

Edit: I’m 35. I have tried TRT, HCG, Pramipexole, Wellbutrin, oxytocin, thyroid, DHEA, Cialis both daily and larger format, Viagra 100mg, pretty much all the recommended supplements. My best combo right now is Viagra with a cock ring, still want to try PT141 but am worried since hearing peoples skin turns red

So long story short, I have been battling ED for the better part of 8-10 years now. There is nothing physically wrong with me, I have been checked by a urologist, seen an endocrinologist and even tried TRT for a year. Where my issue stems from is that I have no libido, no sex drive, no real desire at all - so there’s nothing sending fuel to the engine so to speak. Because of this oral meds don’t work because they require the drive to send blood down there. I have tried so many medications - Wellbutrin, Pramipexole, oxytocin, HCG, Testosterone and all the recommended supplements. The only thing that worked was when I had a honeymoon phase on TRT - I had about 2 months where I had a libido and hope again.

I have tried everything but sex therapy, and I have my first appointment next week. I definitely think I am so wound up psychologically - I worry so much about failure and losing an erection, I have become sex avoidant because I don’t want to risk failing, when I engage in sex all I can think about is not losing it and racing to finish because a short session is better than none at all. I am still wondering if a therapist can help me and if they can help me get a libido back, so love to hear from anyone with experience here even if it’s a second hand story - hopefully there’s a shared experience out there with a happy ending at the end.

It’s worth noting I do have a wife that has been more than patient with me, but the patience is definitely at the end of its rope. I do have an appointment to get Trimix too, I am viewing this as my insurance : back up plan, I still want to get to the root of the issue.

Hi all,

I am debating going on Trimix but had some questions on user experience. For background viagara and the other medications don’t often work for me, it’s often a crap shoot and I’d like to move to Trimix for something more surefire. So my question once you start using, is there any going back? Or do you become entirely reliant on it? I’d more so like to have it as an insurance plan, so to speak
