Soft erections

[Poison Ivy]

Are you still getting erections but they are just not as hard as they use to be or are you unable to get erections at all now? Are the erections too soft to have satisfactory sexual intercourse?

I don't get erections from visual stimulus anymore. If I see a beautiful woman I say in my mind "wow, that's a really hot woman", but absolutely nothing happens in my pants. I only get soft erections from physical stimulus and they are not satisfactory for intercourse.

You should make an appointment with your family physician and consider seeing an endocrinologist to rule out any hormonal issues. You may have low T issues. Supplements in the bodybuilding industry are also tainted with prohormones and other substances that can disrupt your bodies natural testosterone production. Even if you haven't used (hope you're being honest), it's possible you may have been exposed. Alternatively, if you feel like paying you could order a full-hormonal panel online. Stress and relationships are also factors that can affect how you operate. TBH, I also wonder if one can expect to operate at your age (while still young) the same as when you were a teenager.

Another thing to consider is your BMI. You might be calorie restricted, which can reduce T in some people. Is your BMI in the 18-21 range?

Take my thoughts with a grain of starch... just something to consider.

I'm going to see doctor on july 17th. My BMI is 24.76, it's in the normal range. I'm not fat by any means, visible abs. I'm not expecting to get same erections when in twenties, but IMO people should get good enough erections for intercourse in mid thirties.

I 100% agree with you. Be sure to keep us posted on how things pan out for you.

Update:
So I went to see doctor and he examined me and everything was fine. Also did some blood work, haven't got the results back yet. He gave me some viagra to test if it helps and I just tried it and nothing. Viagra has absolutely no effect on my erections. I'm starting to get worried here.

On the plus side, it’s not related to your cardiovascular system. What are the other possibilities/causes?

I don't know, I have to wait until my doctor gets back with my blood work results.

[Vegan]

So I got all bloodwork results except testosterone. Still waiting for doctor to call me. All the results were normal except P-ALAT was 77 U/l (reference range 0-50) and my cholesterol levels were crazy low.

Total cholesterol 89 mg/dl
HDL 26 mg/dl
LDL 43 mg/dl

Is this even real, what's going on?

Not only is it real, you are likely to enjoy extremely good health with such a good total cholesterol. In this video here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeKelRpEgdI) they do talk about cholesterol at your level - sorry I cannot recall where and it's very long (2.5 hr). But what I do recall is that people with a cholesterol at your number are likely the healthiest one can be.

Congratulations on having such a wonderful cholesterol profile. Your blood vessels will thank you!

Thanks for the link Drew!

So I finally got my testosterone results. Pretty average 426 ng/DL. Still waiting for my doctor to call. I'm starting to get quite depressed, I'm thinking suicide every single day.

You may want to seek out some help there - reach out to a family member, a friend, a professional counselor or psychologist. Your life is worth it!

Vegan, please excuse my coarseness, but I know this is a difficult time for you, but there's so much more to life than a hard dick. Please be kind to yourself and talk to someone who can help. If you're in the US, there's a hotline to help you deal with your suicidal thoughts: Call 1-800-273-8255

there is more that can be done
before throwing the towel in
see a urologist at least (plus orgasm can be achieved with a flaccid penis)
viagra is entry-level on the menu of options
its an "motivating" issue
so, theres been some thought/effort
put into the subject

Hi Dan,

I eat only these same foods every single day.

900g broccoli, steamed 5 mins
two medium sweet potatoes, boiled
400g buckwheat, boiled
300g red lentils, boiled

That's it, nothing added but little real salt. I only drink water. Like I said it's been a year now eating these foods and my erection has not improved one bit. I really don't understand how is this possible.

btw, how do you maintain adherence to such a limited diet?
