Do I or Don’t I?

Postby tobenormalagain » Tue Sep 20, 2022 6:53 pm

Super embarrassing to discuss even in an anonymous forum, but here it goes. Very healthy (no diabetes or high blood pressure), active, fit, 55yo man. Long standing history of ED which I attribute to antidepressants and Propecia. I can get and stay very hard when looking at porn and ejaculate 3-4 times a day. That said, when with the wife, my cock absolutely refuses to rise to the occasion, even with Viagara and a vacuum pump. Now, before anyone suggest not masturbating, I’ve been long periods without and it makes absolutely no difference. Also, talking to a sex/couples therapist or trying to spice things up in the bedroom
has not helped. I’ve tried all of the traditional ED treatments with disappointing results. My last option is an implant but I hate to get rid of the function I do have. My libido is off the chart and I would love to enjoy a normal sexual relationship with my wife as this issue has caused many marital problems. Please help!

Yup, get an implant.
After many years of trying everything that the medical profession had, I...we got an implant. It was a decision that
at WE came to.
For me, having a supportive partner made all the difference. Please involve you partner in all aspects of the implant process.

Our marriage is so secure, because she enjoys sex as much as I do.

What if she masturbates you?
This sounds like a mental issue that could possibly be fixed.

and if you watch porn with her by your side? and you tell her the sexual fantasies you have? just watch with her, let her see how you masturbate and the same from that point something begins

me having erections watching porn and ejaculating 3 or 4 times would never get an implant. I think the problem is in a high psychological percentage. try other techniques

Thank you! It’s such a drastic step and there’s no going back or guarantees. Appreciate your sound advice!

When there is nothing to go back to, your decision is easy. If you still have someting working that you would regret losing if the implant should fail, then the decision is hard.

It sounds like you need to do something before you lose a wife.
If you get hard watching porn, and can masturbate 3 or 4 times a day doing that, are you using all your sexual energy on that and not saving any for the wife?
An implant is forever. If you can still achieve erections, it's doubtful any doc would implant you.

tobenormalagain,
You are very functional in you natural state, and you don’t need an implant.
It would be sin to destroy your god given function.
Change your antidepressants, try others, Wellbutrin has very good sexual side effects.
Just my 2 cents.
