[QUOTE="lunchbeast, post: 195776, member: 17414"] Mountain Man, I sincerely appreciate your response and incite. I left out a lot of the info you asked for because I've been dealing with ED for so long that it far precedes my current condition, and all of it would be irrelevant anyway if the doctor was correct and my performance is in fact 'normal'. I am in good shape and work out hard at least every other day and have for most of my adult life. I'm 6'1" and weigh 225 and, like you, do not typically draw any attention in normal street clothes but frequently get side glances and favorable comments with a snug t-shirt or tank top. Annual physicals and frequent blood work for my TRT plan all indicate excellent health aside from slightly elevated creatinine levels (attributed by my Defy doctor to my creatine supplementation) and a PSA score towards the high end of the acceptable range I am currently working to get my BP back down - it has crept up to 140/70 over the past year as serious arthritis in my knees has eliminated running and squats and I'm transitioning to rowing for cardio. So far, knock on wood, I'm still able to deadlift heavy without much trouble. However, the BP issue is recent - my ED spans back over 30 years of running and lifting where my BP was consistently 110/70 and pulse was low 40's, so the recent increase, while not ideal, doesn't appear to be a major contributor. I do have a very attractive partner, but not really long term (yet) - we've been together about six months or so, and she has been extremely understanding. As you indicated with your wife, I owe her much more than the few minutes I can presently offer. I won't completely rule out the mental aspect, but given that I can look back and see a slow steady 30 year decline, I'm 99% sure that's not the problem. I have no problem getting an erection - just a glance or wink from my woman has me pulling my shirt tails out real quick if we're in public - and I stay hard just long enough to think everything is going to work ok before it doesn't. I do last longer with the cialis/viagra/NO supps than without (that's how I sometimes make it to ten minutes), so I can't say they do nothing - they just don't work for me nearly as well as they used to. Porn use is little to zero - I don't have much use for it when I'm in a relationship. I've researched my situation as much as I know how and I'm leaning towards venous leakage. I've read that TRT can help with that, but 12+ months of supplemental Test has not improved anything yet.

Thanks again for your advice - I will seek out a more open-minded and enlightened doctor. [/QUOTE]
