Trouble getting an erection
I am 33 years old. Good physical shape, sexually active 6-7 days a week in a monogamous relationship. No current medical problems, disease free, on no medications or other drugs. When I was 10 I was diagnosed with petechiae and a vitamin k deficiency, but no issues in over 20 years. Occasionally, maybe once every 30-60 days, I have a day where I can not get an erection, no matter what I do. I don't understand it. I am highly attracted to my spouse, its a issue solely on my part. I also occasionally have trouble ejaculating. I will sometimes go soft after a while of foreplay and intercourse. It is starting to make my spouse question my attraction to her. I've always had trouble occasionally ejaculating, its not even a big deal really to me. The erection always comes back eventually. But the fact I occasionally cannot perform at all is a recent problem, been happening for maybe 2 years. I haven't been to a doctor in roughly 10 years, and don't know how to open the discussion. Is there anything I should be possibly be checked for? Anything i could do herbally to help? Trying to leave drugs like Viagra alone, open to honest opinions. Thank you...

RE: Trouble getting an erection
Hi A blood test for your testosterone would no go amiss here, as a place to start with.
There is lots of herbal help around, but I found its not just one thing as we do need a mix, and as we are different what I take may partly work for you, but there is always that missing last link.
Part of the problem can be out blood get that working and your about 2/3 of the way there, what I take has been built up over the last 7 years.
I will leave you two thing one is a list of herbs and supplements and the other is a mix I do take daily, this mix is all very healthy and not a drug in site, end of the day its your choice. OK

RE: Trouble getting an erection
Hi Again well be low is a list of herbs and supplements that could help you these all come with links so you can read up about each one, so please make sure you do read up about anything you wish to try.
But having had ED I know its not just one thing that will do it for any guy, I myself do take a mix of 4 a day I take DHEA is a hormone, and Tribulus is a herb, these do work along the same road but one backs the other up, Tribulus takes around 8 weeks to get to full power, DHEA you have to be careful of as it can have the odd funny side effect with some guys.
L-Arginine this is nitric acid and this aids erection, some guys take loads of this but in a mix its just one capsule a day, and last is L-Carnitine this again aids our erection. so my list its long OK
Well Guys if read through my post on herbs with links, here I go again, more for you to read with links, now most of these I have never tried, but these keep popping up here and there.
Most of these have come from other forums, but if your searching for away to get away from drugs, then some of these may help, but please just keep to what any of the company’s you by from, state is a safe dose, just remember that these may not be drugs per say, but can still put you in hospital if you overdose, a lot of these are the for runners for to days top ED drugs.
Sorry these will just come from my notes, so no alphabetical order.
Yohimbe
So OK first on the list is Yohimbe.

The way this will help ED is by thinning your blood and getting it cleaner.
I have taken low dose aspirin for the last 15 years, this is to tin my blood and help stop heart attacks, the Swedish people have been doing the same for many years, I and they also carry a high dose aspirin in case of a heart attack, this you just slip under the tongue, if not give some hot water with teaspoon of cayenne in it, and get them to drink as much as they can.

Well that’s about the end of my list, or is it, as things come forward in the way of natural enhancers I will add them, so if you think any of these will help you get harder, give them a try, but please remember, talk to your doctor first, but you will properly find that they will be against them, as these are not in there med books, and will tell that they lack information on them, so don’t take them.
But there comes a time when perhaps you should take the bull by the horn’s and give them a whirl, if you do get any funny side effects just stop them, but there are a lot of things that can be taken but need something else to back them up, but at the end of the day there not drugs, they are natural and a lot of the time in tune with our body’s.
You may thing this is long but I have tried to give 4 links to each one, any one of these if you want to google them for more info just add “for erectial dysfunction” on the end, for some unknown reason ED does not have the same effect to find answers.
Good Luck

RE: Trouble getting an erection
Hi Below your see my mix this will help clean your blood all you do is read up about each one for ED, your see that they don't actuality work for ED as I said before the clean your blood and good clean blood gives us great erection, I'm 70 this summer and get nocturnal erections that wake me up and some very good morning woods, before I got ED 7 years ago, these I was not getting, so now with some good morning woods I can wake the wife up, sex at 6o/c is a great way to start the day.
So what this does is to clean away Cholesterol Plaque its this stuff that blocks up our small veins, and helps get your triglyceride numbers right after its done that its maintains our blood for us. OK here you are.
The way out and clearing away plaque would be to get on Cayenne Pepper, Turmeric with black pepper and garlic, take this each morning and see how you go.
For each heaped teaspoon of turmeric you add a ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper, this helps the turmeric to get absorbed into your system better.
The whole mix its all very healthy for you.
You just mix CP and Turmeric and BP 50/50 in olive oil and then mix with tomato paste and thin it with olive oil, at first you just mix this to a heat ( this the heat that CP gives off) that suits you, and over time you can slowly increase the CP and Turmeric.
You take 3 teaspoonful’s each morning first thing, you wash each spoonful down with water, before anything else just after you get up, one thing it will warm you up with this mix, which will also help would be very fine chopped garlic, just do a whole head, chopped fine, and keep in olive oil, with this you add dried parsley, a couple of good desert spoonful’s and mix, you just add a teaspoonful on top of the CP an turmeric mix, just mix into the top take as said.
The Parsley its very good for the blood and helps keep your Cholesterol down, you can also add some oregano in as well as its good for erections.
Please do keep both jars in the fridge, keeps a lot better that way.
Now if you google and read up about all above, there very good for ED, your cholesterol, heart and it clears blocked arteries and veins, good at lowering HBP, prostate, prostatitis and RA, garlic is also very good for your blood, so along with the CP and turmeric with BP, your be doing your body the world of good.
Turmeric is a great way of fighting and lowering your triglyceride numbers when you have high cholesterol, and turmeric is also a way of fighting certain cancers.
Now if your on any kind of blood thinner's don't take the Turmeric as its a blood thinner as well, means your blood will get to thin.
Sauce for info is,
http://www.turmericforhealth.com
At first you really need to be taken this 3 times a day for 2 weeks then just 2 times once first thing and the second before a meal for 2 weeks, then just once a day first thing in the mornings, great way to start the day.
And yes have had ED now in recovery and do take what is above daily along with other supplements and a hormone.
So do hope this helps you.
Good Luck
NOWHARD
PS This really needs a 12 week trail, to see if its going to work for you, if its for RA do increase it up, the stronger it is the better it works for you.
Don’t forget to up the amount of CP and turmeric as you go on.
Now for me these days as its almost around 7 years being on this mix, I do a standard mix which has 4 rounded desert spoons of cayenne pepper and turmeric in it, and l mixed up, then daily I put some more olive oil on the top, add the 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper then a heaped teaspoon of CP and the same of turmeric add on the heaped teaspoon of garlic and mix this in the top layer and I now take 4 teaspoons of the mix, some days it can get me but most days I'm ok
as for supplements its L-Arginine Tribulus, L-Carnitine, DHEA and just some daily vits, but I do wash them down with a boric acid mix, boric acid has the tag of being the poor mans Viagra, a standard mix is a 1/4 teaspoon in a litre of water and drink through the day, I mix at a bit stronger as I only take it first thing in the mornings, but as they say every little helps .
I get good nocturnal erections that wake me up, and lots of morning woods not bad for a guy who will soon be hitting 70.
