ED trajectory ages 30-60 (in your experience)

[TwoStep]

Some middle-aged members here report having had ED or venous leak since their youth. I’m curious about the long-term development in this case: Did erectile difficulty at 30 mean total failure at 60? Or is it more like 80% success rate at age 30 might mean 50% success rate at 60? I know this cannot be quantified so precisely, but curious to hear your experiences.

I would think the answer to that would involve many factors. Lifestyle bing one of the biggest ones .. such as illegal drugs .. weight gain ... regular medications ...BP med's .. diabetes ...etc .. what u and your dick might tolerate at 30 by age 50 20 years later might be a whole nother story ... and don't forget while those 20 years are going by you are continuing to have a sex life so you are putting even more wear and tear on your penis. . It only has so many good inflation cycles just like anything else in life there is a limit and everyone's limits are different ..

I was never taught much about male sexuality as a teen. Certainly not good education in school, and for whatever reason my father never picked up the slack. So for some reason in my late teens and probably early twenties I was already thinking I needed things like viagra. Doctors that I saw didn't bother to educate me or trouble themselves to dig a little deeper into why a young man might think he needs viagra. In my opinion that was a missed opportunity for these doctors to be a real man and make a difference in a young man's life that needed some guidance. But it was easier and less awkward for them to just give samples and write perscriptions for ed pills. At that age I don't think I really needed them. For me I think my erection quality changed when I was in mid to late 30s. It just seems slower now, less sensitivity and I lose interest. I get a feeling that I don't want to be bothered anymore or touched. Or that any sex act involving me would just be a bit gross.

I'd really like a different approach because I really worry that the ed pills have impacted my hearing, and balance. I have almost constant eustachian tube dysfunction, and oftentimes feel that my balance is off. I don't think I could ever work or be employed in such a situation that would require me to be up high on a roof or some other scenario.

I agree with easymoney. There are so many things that can cause early onset of ED in a male.
My libido was always 110% and never took much to get it up. Then around my mid-50's occasionally I would go soft in the middle or couldn't get started. My health was good, no heart, sugar or other major medical issues. I was a smoker, and my cholesterol was high, which probably (maybe?) contributed to the ED.

I don't know what is your point as every case is different. I have had venous leak all my life. My success rate was 0% before Viagra. With Viagra it was about 80% for 10 years. Then it dropped to 0% very fast. With injection the success rate is about 70% and getting worse.

Your success rate was 0% when you were young too?

Yes. I could not have sex before Viagra. Therexwas no cure available before that

ED progression can indeed be a concern for many. From my observations and discussions, the progression of ED from age 30 to 60 varies significantly among individuals. Some might start with minor issues in their 30s and witness a decline by their 50s or 60s. For instance, someone having an 80% efficacy rate at 30 might drop to around 60% by the age of 60. However, it's also worth noting that some individuals maintain a relatively consistent performance with minor changes over the years.
Maybe you should try viagra, one of my personal choices. It has often been cited as a beneficial intervention. For many, it has served as an anchor in managing ED. It's essential to recognize that individual experiences will differ, and it's crucial to find what works best on an individual basis and adapt accordingly.

No decline, that’s interesting. Thanks for sharing!
