My boyfriend had a vasectomy done around 7 years ago….he just recently got divorced and has been with me for a few months now…..he says that he has had this problem after he got the vasectomy done….his ex-wife is a heavy woman and he said that she didn’t turn him on and I am the total opposite of her, I am very tiny and petite… he says that he is extremely turned on by me and I pleasure him in the bedroom….his penis is just not staying hard….he says that it is not me in any way…..he went to his doctor and he prescribe Levitra and it didn’t help much…the doctor also done some blood work on him and everything came back ok….I was thinking maybe something was wrong with his prostate but those tests came back ok as well…..now we are just bum fuzzled….he runs an end loader at work and I wonder maybe if the banging all the time on his genital area might have something to do with this problem…..maybe a blockage…I am not sure…..has anyone else ever had this problem and if so what did you do about it??? I wonder maybe if it’s stress and not enough rest….any advice and answers would be greatly appreciated thanks…….please no smart comments…this is serious….
prostate test, sugar test, high cholesterol test and high blood pressure test all came back normal..nothing wrong there…….
Answer:
Vasectomy can cause erectile issues in several ways:
1) If the man has pain with sex or after sex (present in at least 5% of vasectomized men), then it can cause erectile dysfunction as sex gets associated with pain…
2) Vasectomy causes testicular damage and fibrosis (scarring to the interstitium of the testes) and this can affect testosterone levels. Most doctors just test total testosterone levels, but you need to also check “free” testosterone levels. If total testosterone is less than 400, or free T is less than 10, it can be associated with erectile dysfunction and may require the use of testosterone gels. The level that is associated with erectile issues varies from man to man.
3) Vasectomy can cause decrease in ejaculate volume, decrease in ejaculate expulsion, and decrease in orgasmic sensation and these can lead to sex being less fun, which can lead to erectile dysfunction as sex is then not worth the effort.
Ask him about pain and/or other sexual side effects of vasectomy. Get his total and free testosterone levels checked.

I’m 18, currently a virgin, but I want to lose my virginity. I have had many opportunities to lose it, but when I’m in the heat of the moment, my penis doesn’t get erect and I have no feeling that my body wants to have sex, when my mind says that it wants to. I’ve went to the doctor about my erectile dysfunction, so he gave me some samples of Levitra and Viagra, and sent me to a clinic to get some blood tests done, and all came back negative. As a virgin, you would think that your penis would get hard over everything, but I can’t get erect without the Viagra. How do I increase the male libido and overcome the erectile dysfunction?
Answer:
You can try a supplement like Mojo Risen from http://www.mojorisen.com/. It may help.
You are probably just stressed out though. For a male to get an erection, his body has to be calm and relaxed. If you are tense about having sex, losing your virginity, or performing, your nervous system is too wired up to allow an erection. You can try a few things: 1) the supplement above helps get things moving; 2) try masturbating before heading out on your date; 3) talk to your partner about being nervous (I know this is awkward for an 18 year old, but a lot of girls find that sweet); 4) slow things down: make out for 15 or 20 minutes, focus on her body and not your own, go down on her for 5 or 10 minutes, relax. 5) Realize that at 18, you have a good 60 years of sex ahead of you, so you don’t have to rush out of the gate. The time will come!

I have only heard of couples going to see a sex therapist. Can a single person see a sex therapist for sessions on an individual basis? I tried for years with my ex-wife to seek family counseling as a couple but she refused to go. Now that I am separated from her and single again, my issues continue including performance anxiety and erectile dysfunction. Levitra has helped with the ED but there are other issues that need to be addressed. I am seeing a Urologist to rule out any serious medical issues. Have any of you guys or gals gone to see a sex therapist individually? Did that help? What kinds of problems did you discuss and address? What were the results?
Answer:
Of course you can go alone!

I have masterbated every day 1-5 times a day ever since I was 7 years old. I am now 20. I have had ED since 13 but the doctors wouldnt believe me. I finally found a doctor who believed me and I got put on levitra. I dont like the side effect so I heard of supplements like l-arginine and I started taking it for a little over two weeks. It worked a little. It gave me half of an erection and I was taking 5 grams a day with pycnogenol but thats it. I’m going to start using AAKG this week because I heard its stronger. But my original question is if I stop masterbating for a while will my erections come back? And has masterbating so much caused me to have temporary ED? Thanks

It’s about sex. I feel so ashamed. I have problems having intercourse. I am straight. I am posting this in the G&L section because I think you guys have more sensitivity on these issues. I take Levitra for my erectile dysfunction. I have never had a good, complete sexual experience, including full out intercourse and ejaculating from that in my whole life. I was married for six years and the sex was failure. My wife was a virgin and we had problems and finally I just gave up with her. I then dated a woman for three or four months and she broke up with me. Last night, after dating a new woman for about a month, we tried sex last night. At first she didn’t want to but then after a lot of successful foreplay we had a WTF moment and decided to do it. I had taken Levitra about an hour before sex. Everything should have been perfect. But it wasn’t. I tried loosening her up but she felt tight. I think it’s been a while since she had sex. She could have been nervous. I was able to put a finger up inside her and that was okay. I should have tried two fingers. When I tried to go inside her, in the dark of course, I had trouble getting it up. I kept trying. We tried different positions. At one point she was so tight that I felt pain trying to go inside her. It was dark so I might have been going at it wrong.
I am seeing a psychologist for therapy. I also tried seeing a sex therapist on my own and that seemed like another counselor and I really needed more technical advice. I went to a urologist and had blood tests done and to see if there was anything physically wrong with me that might be causing this. But the doctor found nothing wrong. I am still fighting with my insurance company over the “unnecessary tests.” I love HMOs, don’t you? When a guy can’t get it up, I think that tests are necessary so that he can find out why he can’t make love.
Well gay and lesbian friends and others, I am at my wits end. I am thinking of going to an escort at this point. I am still seeing my new girlfriend but I am not sure how much longer she is going to go out with me. She is divorced. I will be divorced next month and legally separated. I fear that if I tell her about the ED that she will leave me. Her ex husband had ED and she divorced him.
What should I do?
Should I have a talk with my girlfriend? Tell her about the ED and say I want to work this out with her.
See an escort. Maybe a woman that is not a girlfriend there would be less pressure. Maybe because I am not yet divorced from my wife, and the pressure of her wanting us to get back together and I don’t, I am not ready for a serious relationship right now.
See a doctor. I am seeing a psychologist now general counseling. I saw a sex therapist but he wasn’t very helpful. He just seemed to be another counselor. He suggested seeing another urologist and have more blood test done. My insurance company is still not paying for the last round of blood tests and the bill is over five hundred dollars.
So that is the man issue. BTW, I feel very ashamed that I have not been able to have a successful sexual experience. I feel like I am not a man and like I am a boy trapped in a forty something body.
My dad and mother felt that masturbation is wrong. My mom thinks masturbation is a sin and my dad thought masturbation was a sign that I was either crazy or gay. I am not gay but he feared that I would become gay. Also many women that I dated, including my ex wife, really hated me watching porn. I fear that when I am with my girlfriend I may need that extra stimulation that I get from watching porn. My ex GF really had issues with my looking at porn actresses. Not sure about the new GF. She seemed okay with me not being able to get it up the first time we tried. I had to finish myself off but I was able to at least do that. Some times I get so nervous with a girlfriend I can’t cum. The Levitra helps with the erection. But then I couldn’t get hard enough to penetrate last time. I was so angry and ashamed.
Answer:
It sounds like you might be thinking too much about sex and this may be hard to over come if it’s been going on this long in your life. However, I would recommend having a one nighter here and there, safely of course (meaning condoms, not just pills). Just go have some meaningless sex with someone and don’t be afraid to tell them before hand that you might have some trouble ejaculating. Many women may even like this idea because it means you’ll last longer.
If you can ejaculate while masturbating than it’s most likely not a mechanical problem. However, if you use condoms it’s important to make sure you’re not allergic to latex or lubrication. Some men can even be allergic to the fluids inside the vagina. If you’re allergic to any of these, simply wearing a condom made of a different material would do the trick.
Also, just learn to relax when you’re making love. Don’t worry about ejaculation, just enjoy the sensations you’re feeling. Engage in other kinds of sexual activity that don’t involve penetration. And there is no rule that says you can’t just masturbate to finish up at the end. Many men have to do this actually. Some of my lovers were never able to ejaculate even after hours of love making, till they rolled over and finished the job themselves.
I was never offended by this and knew that’s just how their body responded and how it had learned to function. Sometimes I would do things while they were finishing up to help them along so it was like we were still having sex, just not the actual penetration part. Don’t be afraid to tell someone you’re having sex with that you have a problem ejaculating. 9 times out of 10 she will understand and this will help take a lot of the pressure off. After that, just enjoy it and don’t think about the end, just enjoy what’s happening in the moment.
And I think you should see a different sex therapist. They are supposed to help with physical and mental issues, not just focus on one or the other. And it sounds like this person is only focusing on one of your problems.

My GF and I have been dating for just over ten months. She was married to a guy who had a severe case of Erectile Dysfunction. He not only had problems having intercourse but he seemed to exhibit no sexual curiosity at all. She was a virgin when she married and it is a touchy subject to find out if her husband, in fact, ever consumated their now former marriage. Since then she has slept with several men after her divorce. Some guys were one night stands and others she dated for several months. I have dated her the longest since her divorce.
My ex wife was frigid in bed. After getting sex therapy myself, which my ex wife refused, the best I can determine is that my wife had vaginitis. Any attempt at intercourse with my ex wife was painful and compounded by my ED problems we never had much of a sex life. Since divorcing her I began to take Levitra for my ED when I began dating again after I split from my ex wife.
If I had started dating my girlfriend after she split from her ex husband, I would feel as if I was satisfying her as a lover. But she has slept with several men since she divorced. I compare myself to her other boyfriends and using my own bit of logic as well as my imagination to fill in what she will not tell me, I imagine most of these ex boyfriends of hers to have been better lovers for her than me. Most of the guys she dated wound up breaking up with her. One guy that she dated for seven months, broke up with her complaining about her snoring and it kept him awake so he dumped her.
My ED comes and goes. I am in my forties so that I find that if I have a cold and I take cold medicine, or if I have a few drinks with my GF before sex, the Levitra doesn’t work as effectively.
I also suffer from Retarded Ejaculation, yes that is the medical term for it. I have no problem masturbating on my own but I have not been able to finish during intercourse with her. I just cannot get the same level of stimulation having intercourse with her as I do when I masturbate.
This week, we started to see a relationship counselor. My GF has threatened to break up with me a couple of times, saying that we are both high anxiety and that’s why she left her ex husband. Personally I think it has more to do with the sex and she is no doubt frustrated by being with a guy who can’t come.
Sometimes, at night and we have had a few drinks, the sex is a complete failure. She wants to get on top of me and that requires me to be fully erect and sometimes I just can’t. Because of her Catholic upbringing, the fact that she waited until marriage to have sex, maybe she feels ashamed to admit that I am not satisfying her like the other guys she slept with, one night stands or ex boyfriends. Most of the guys that dated her seemed to be just for the short term. She dated a medical student who was 9 years younger than her. She admitted to me that I am really the first guy that she has dated since her divorce that is older than her. Since splitting from her ex, she has been a cougar pairing off with younger men.
She is not a medical professional but she offered her own uneducated diagnosis of my ED problem as a sign of aging. What she failed to listen from me is that I have suffered from this condition all of my life since puberty. I was rejected by several woman in high school and college because of this problem.
Women- would you break up with a man who suffered from ED and RE?
Answer:
What is RE?

On most TV channels especially CNN. Do most Gay men and women feel excluded when you are bombarded by ads for the eharmony dating service which always portrays straight couples who’ve finally found their soulmates of the opposite sex and the huge barage of ads for erectile dysfunction such as 36 hour Cialis, Viagra, Levitra etc. Have you noticed how invisible we are ? Doesn’t invisibility equal non existence in the minds of most Heterosexuals? Aren’t Gay people also consumers?
Answer:
Yes LGBT are consumers and when some researcher does a study on their spending potential and finds out…wow these people have big bucks to spend then you might get to see commercials for products geared toward that community.
Don’t feel bad or left out, corporate America did the same thing to “brown people”…at one point in time you rarely saw people of colour in certain cosmetic commercials…but low and behold research shows their spending potential…aww shoot big corporations have to have their money…so now its the “in” to market products toward the “brown people”.
I don’t think you are invisible and I understand your frustration, but with perserverance things will change.

I am so embarrassed that I am posting this on the Gay and Lesbian section. I am a straight male. I suffer from erectile dysfunction. I take Levitra for it. I am in the process of a divorce from my wife. I thought it was going to be that my wife and I would go to court and get it done. But in my state we have this divorce law whereby we have to wait 120 days being separated until the divorce is finalized. Stupid, but that’s the law. It’s not like that in other states and it is a real pain in the butt for people who are threw with their spouses and want to go out and date and I know there are women out there who insist that guys have this time apart from one woman before moving on to another. But when the right guy comes along they throw those rules away for some prince charming and it’s just the average guys like me that get stuck with the “have to wait a year before you can date someone else” rule.
Since my wife moved out of the house, which was my request, I have been intimate with another woman and the woman I am now dating could progress into something intimate.
The last girlfriend lasted two months. My wife and I had a fight and she had her laundry list of things she wanted me to change. I told her the only thing I wanted her to change is to stop making lists of things she wanted me to change. She said she wasn’t going to change and if I wanted a woman who was like that I should find someone else. Little did she know but I went on the internet and found someone else on line, got a divorce lawyer, and two weeks later I was telling her to pack her stuff and get out. I started dating this other woman. She complained about two ex boyfriends she had on the first time we met. She said her last boyfriend was married and his wife dragged out the divorce too long. So when she asked me if I had ever been married. I said yes. Then I told her that I had been divorced for a year. I did it because I felt that she wouldn’t see me otherwise.
But there were problems. At first my wife refused to move out. Her sister advised her that would be abandonment. So I talked to my lawyer to see how I could get a constable and get a court order to get her out of there. It’s unbelievable that my wife who refused to have sex with me for two years was then refusing to move out of our apartment so that I can find another woman and have a normal sex life. Seriously, my life would be easier if I was gay, because dealing with women is a pain in the butt.
The wife would not move out, so I went to stay at a hotel for a few days. On the last night, my new girlfriend stayed at the hotel with me. At dinner she told me she packed a vibrator in her suit case and her ex boyfriend had issues with her using it. Then I told her that I hadn’t had sex in two years ,and that I suffered from erectile dysfunction. Her telling me she used a vibrator intimidated me. God, she’s a slut, I thought I could never satisfy her in bed. That night I didn’t take anything and I failed to get hard at all.
My wife finally left the house about a week after I started dating this other woman. I went to my doctor and got a prescription for Levitra. Without the pills, I just could not get hard enough to perform. Even on the medication, this other woman I was dating had slept with so many guys since college she literally had to do the math to try to figure out just how many men she slept with. Me, it was just a girlfriend in grad school, my soon to be ex wife, and now this woman. Three women. I asked her to give me a figure and she stopped at about two dozen men but I think she was just too embarrassed to admit that there may have been more than that.
My wife and I finally got our court date in January. I couldn’t believe how long it took. Two months to see a judge. Welcome to ObamaNation. Thanksgiving. Christmas. New Year’s. And all this time off before, during, and after. And when I first met with my divorce lawyer he told me that people could walk into court and get divorced that same day. But when we finally got down to brass tacks, it took months and now it’s still going on some separation waiting period. I got my lawyer right away. My wife got some high profile woman lawyer that she could never get an appointment to see. I had my lawyer draft up a separation agreement. My wife’s lawyer sat on the paperwork for weeks, then drafted her own version of it, having us married in the wrong county, mis-spelling both of our names and getting several important facts about the divorce wrong. Typical female lawyer, asinine. So by the time my lawyer and I had made all the corrections, the year had ended and we couldn’t get a court date until mid-January. This had been dragged out since November. So we go before the judge,a woman judge, and we had to wait 120 days separated before the divorce would be finalized. That’s what she said. Now I know where that line comes from. I think the phrase “bear with me” was invented by a woman at work.
In the meantime, things were n
Answer:
Mate, I believe your main problem causing your sexual dysfunction, grew from the every day verbal, mental and physical domestic abuse inflicted on you,by this woman you married.
Honestly pills aren’t going to help, neither is having your head filled with religious rubbish. Everything you mentioned and anger towards your government and legal system clearly shows you are a victim of domestic abuse.
In reality,you have all the rights in the world to be angry. Only things in your life aren’t going to get better for you until you truly realize this. By stopping yourself from repeatably being abused by abusive women. Which is what you are not realizing you are still doing to yourself.
I’ll give you a few links to read through, which I hope can be your first step to self reliance and stop this abuse happening to you. Mate once you do start taking steps, it will remove the mental pressure and silent stress you are suffering to realize this is where your emotional and health problems started and come from. It doesn’t make you less of a man or a wimp to ever admit you were domestically abused by a woman.
It happens, unfortunately in your country the laws are so backwards, abusive women get away with it. You actually wrote a fine example of this, how the laws in your country are allowing your abuser to continue to live with you, and abuse you verbally and mentally.
It’s a pity you haven’t had a open and broad minded good mate you could have talked to about this before this had psychologically affected your health and well being. I don’t know what services are available for men who are victims of abuse in your country, but I hope there is one.

1) Which is the best–Viagra, Levitra, or Cialis? 2) What is the easiest way to get some samples without going to a doctor or getting a prescription?
If I get them online, what is the best website to do so?
Answer:
I have erectile dysfunction. I have tried Viagra and Levitra, and never tried Cialis. Levitra I find works better than Viagra. Levitra only takes 20 minutes to work, where as Viagra take 45 minutes to an hour to work. Many times I used Viagra and still had complications. I live in Canada and the only way to get these meds are through a doctor. I’m pretty sure it’s the same in the states. It is always better to see a physician because, there could be problems with taking any of these meds having heart or blood pressure problems. Doctors usually want to know that you aren’t going to die taking them, because sex does cause stress on your blood pressure and your heart.
