[QUOTE="JamesonD, post: 134402, member: 17848"] Gentlemen, I'm glad I found this group there's been a lot to learn so far and the forum has been an informative resource. Here's my story. I'm 43 and have I've been on TRT for around 1.5 years and have not had much success in consistently getting the erections I had Pre-TRT. My libido is through the roof but performance is seriously lacking. When I do get an erection that's suitable, its only a matter of time before I lose it. Along with ED issues, there is also a serious lack of sensitivity and extreme difficulty in achieving orgasm. I use Cialis or Viagra from time to time and it helps out minimally. I've mentioned this the whole time to my TRT Dr. at the clinic but she only suggested using Dim, taking vitamins, etc and says all my values are normal. I will be making changes to the clinic I visit soon because of the lack of help I've received thus far. I've also seen a Urologist who's also reviewed my bloodwork and see's no issues.
