[QUOTE="S1W, post: 142149, member: 16947"] OK brothas - I'm going to offer a different perspective and hopefully some advice that might help. TRT has helped my erections. Things are not perfect and I do use daily low dose Cialis, but I feel that it is the TRT which has brought back nocturnal erections, which has helped a lot with overall function/penile health. That said, it just one piece of the puzzle. Being over 40, I never expected TRT to bring back teenage level erectile function. I don't see that as a realistic goal, at least not for myself. Also, understand that there is a huge mental component to ED. Guys don't want to admit this to themselves or to anyone else, but it is true. I am fortunate to be with a great wife who I've been with for 15+ years, and we're extremely comfortable together, and it was STILL embarrassing and quite the mental hurdle to get over. I can't imagine being a single guy and trying to work through it with new girlfriends who you do not know as well and where "performance anxiety" is likely much higher. Once you've had one single failed erection, it seems like that thought is always in the back of your mind when it's go time. That doubt in the back of your mind, however slight, may be the single biggest factor contributing to your ED. It's a rough mental challenge to overcome and if you have a solid, understanding partner to work through it with, count yourself as lucky. If you're single and find yourself serious about a girl (and call me old fashioned but I think you should be if you're going to be sexually involved with her) I think you should just be straight up and talk to her about it. Something like, "Look, this is very hard for me to talk about, but lately I've had issues with ED. It's super embarrassing. Things DO work down there, but at this point it's become a mental hurdle for me and something that I hope we can work through together." Just saying something like that and getting it out there will deflate your performance anxiety a lot. And being able to have a conversation like that and work through it will strengthen your relationship. Please her in other ways. Ask around and you might learn that most women get off far more easily from oral anyway. Get good at it. While you're down there you might find yourself super turned on and with a woody you haven't had for a while - simply slide up and... Anyway, shit I'm not a sex therapist, but ED is something with many components to it and something that you need to work through. Dialing in the "magical perfect TRT protocol" is unlikely in itself to "fix" it for you. It can be part of your plan, but ED is kind of a big picture thing with several components that you need to work through. But with persistence and the right partner (and a fair amount of patience and yes, some disappointments) you can definitely work through it. [/QUOTE]
