DEAD Libido and severe ED. 28 years old male. Bloodtests seem normal?!

Hi guys,


first of all, I'm not a native english speaker so I might do some mistakes.
The bloodtests are in german language. I tried to edit the translation for the german words on the pictures with a computerprogram, so don't get confused there.

March 2016:

• Testosterone: 24.1 nmol / l ... reference range: 8.64 - 29.0
• SHGB: 53.7 nmol / l ... reference range: 18.3 - 54.1
• Free androgenindex 44.9 Ratio ... reference range: 45 - 75
• PSA: 1.735 ng / ml .. reference range <4

Prolactin seems to be jumping quite alot, but I think that's somewhat normal?! And it seems to not be jumping extremely out of the labranges, so I guess that can't cause a permanent dead Libido for over 3 years.

My symptoms:

I'm suffering from a dead Libido and ED since at least three years. Unfortunately I can't remember when exactly and how it began because at that time I was just busy playing videogames. Not meeting woman at all. And I was still able to jerk off with something like at "50% - hard" erection because I could just press harder with my hand and it was not a problem.

I dont have any morning wood anymore. No "random" erections happening anymore. My penis is just soft 99.9% of the day. And when it gets harder, it's only like a 50-70% erection at best. Can't have satisfying intercourse with that.
Before age 23 or 24 everything was fine. I often had morning wood and it was hard, Libido was good.
Now I can live completely without having any orgasms. Libido isnt increasing, there is only very low sex drive. The sperm just comes out with the pee.

However my body is still able to get a 100% erection and hold it for 20min! Very rarely I achieve this when masturbating. But even if I achieve such a 100% erection, I'm not really very much "horny" in my head. It's more like all happening in my penis. Orgasm is definitly alot less intense but still feels good.

When testing Prolactin (PRL) you should refrain from any kind of sexual activity, ejaculation, orgasm, everything, for about 48hrs.

I think that was the case at both bloodtests when Prolactin got tested. Let's assume this is true, can we then say my problems are not coming from hormone issues?

And what if it is not true? Do I have to get another bloodtest for Prolactin then? As far as I know prolactin can be important when it comes to ED, but it doesn't do anything for Libido.

If it were that much a varied response in the past I would suggest retesting it atleast twice maybe 30 days apart and abide by the pretest protocol and see where those two results are, I think you have to retest and see where you are in that regard.

it does affect libido too.. as far as i know higher prolactin - lower dopamine.

I tend to run on the higher end of prolactin as well. My numbers don't jump like yours but are as high. I also feel a weaker libido from this and the occasional ED (rare).
So if sex is placed at your doorstep, you can preform, achieve an erection? Your issue is more of you not looking or seeking sexual encounters, is this description accurate? There are treatments for high prolactin once proper testing has established this is the case.

No that description isnt accurate. I can watch porn or have a naked good looking woman in front of me and have big issues getting an erection. Very sad...
I somehow dont get aroused anymore. I can can an erection by massaging my penis with my own hand. That's what works the best. And when starting intercourse most of the times I can hold a 50-80% hard erection until orgasm. Not the most satisfying sex. Also if I stop thrusting the erection will go away within 1 minute. So it seems it's all about the physical part. The mental part seems to be almost dead. I'm not asexual, I still enjoy looking at naked women, but it's just that I dont get aroused by it anymore and no erections just from looking.
