New // Hello everyone.

I havent had a chance to review each post but I am glad I found this site because people here seem to want to help each other. About myself:

I am 34, a surfer, do yoga and work out all the time. I'm in excellent shape. In 2011, I left my wife but wasn't sexually active due to my hatred toward women at time( and the fact I was going through a divorce and my lawyer told me to be careful) , so I spent most of the year working out, drinking/partying, and masturbating. At the end of 2011, I developed prostate trouble or as the doctors said, prostatitis. They said it was impossible to masturbate too often and cause prostatitis. I now disagree. Nevertheless, I spent most of 2012 being on and off antibiotics, had ever scan you could think of and have found no trouble with my prostate other than what the doctor referred to as multiple calcifications from past inflammation. In any case, as the year has passed, my prostate is still inflamed and I now have developed ED. The urologist says its due to chronic inflammation as well as the mental aspect. This part I believe. However I still dont have a solution for my inflamed prostate.

About my ED:

If I am sitting down and pull up some porn or fantasize without it, I can still get an erection but its not my best. If I am with my girl, its a struggle. The only way I can get an erection with her is on my back but its still not super hard. I tried Cialis 5mg a day, that did nothing for me.(should I try a larger dose?) My psychologist(yes I see a psychologist to keep my sanity) says I have performance anxiety in addition to a physical problem. She says the physical problem has manifested a mental one as well. That combined with dwelling on it causing depression. I also lack sexual drive for some reason. Mentally I want sex but not physically. Makes sense? My testosterone last reading was 486 so not too bad.

Any comments on my condition would be greatly appreciated. Obviously the above is a shortened version but I can elaborate. ( I realize many have it far worse than I.) Thanks for any comments.

Couple questions:
Has anyone here tried prostate massage for ED and virility? I have come across some websites that are proponents for it. Some people believe that regular prostate massage will break up blockages and restore proper prostate functioning.

Has anyone read this website: cure-erectile-dysfunction.org? The person is selling a product line of vitamins and such but the reading interesting. I'm not advocating buying his stuff but I do think his beliefs may be beneficial. He has some explanations on the left side of the page discussing different causes and effects. I thought it was a good read.

Thats all I have for now

Thanks for this website.
