Hello peeps…well, looks like this ED thing has somehow made its appearance..or not. Here’s my novel…

50 years old, healthy as an ox. BMI of 28. Do CrossFit 3-4 days a week. Was about 216# last year and lost a little weight. Then my wife and I started taking low dose compounded GLP-1 in September to get over the hump. I’m not sure of the dosage. Now I’m 180#. Only other meds I take are Berberine and a Probiotic. No high BP, no high cholesterol, no Diabetes.

Wife (no pics) and I have been married almost 20 years. Our sex life has always been amazing. My wife has a higher sex drive than me so I’m very lucky. In fact, since we’ve been empty nesters, our sex life has been off the charts. Never had a problem with erections…even while drinking. Like watch her walk by and get hard instantly. I also would stay hard after orgasms for awhile.

A week ago, everything flipped upside down. We started getting intimate spontaneously as usual…I take care of her and it’s my turn. But…it’s not there. She tries to help but nothing. Go to bed and she wakes me up in the middle of the night to try and get me hard….nothing. I think I’m ready the next day and she tries again, nothing. Same story over the weekend…nothing. I did manage to get it semi rigid last night and woke her up. I was able to finish but I was not rock hard as usual.

I’m at loss for words because none of this makes sense. I was a fricking rockstar 2 weeks ago. Of course, this is important to both of us. Hell, we are building a sort of sex room for some fun stuff to use. This definitely changes things a bit.

Is it the GLP-1 shot? Low T? Any opinions of what next? Jump right into ED meds? Herbals? Sorry for the long post. I know I will get the “I’m not reading all of that” post. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What happens if you try to whack it? Normal or not?

I’m actually a big believer that pelvic floor issues are a driver of ED, especially in active men. Any chance your lower abs and glutes are super tight right now? What about the muscles closer to your junk?

Abs are a little but not glutes. I can fap it to get it somewhat there…not anywhere as rigid as I have been. But if we like change positions, I lose it pretty quickly. It’s mind boggling..

so low T wont just suddenly appear like that

glp1 will lower dopamine and not make you want it as much and that is prolly the issue. could be you need to lower the dose

sounds like this is an urgent thing...so I would immediately get some cialis to put your mind at ease.

then i would get my test numbers and see where they are...if normal...i would lower the glp dosage. if not then look at getting on trt

as far as pelvic floor very well could have been the issue but now its mental for you. the cialis or viagra or the red pill will get you over that. im not huge on the pelvic floor thing but im not gonna say that wasnt it either.



long term- look at cialis daily at 5-10mg or 5mg plus low dose viagra. it has lots of other health benefits. if total testosterone numbers are good, no need for trt. if free test is low use boron at 12-15mg/day

do you wake up with morning wood? if not, start the cialis and the boron immediately. take boron in the morning so it doesnt disrupt sleep

See…that is the ONLY thing that is new. Looking back…since I started in September, the emotional feeling towards sex has changed a little. We were on a
low dose already. I’m going to just stop it. I really reached my goal weight anyway…

Not every morning. Maybe 3 or 4 times a week.

I’ll have to check with the wife when I get home. She’s been getting this compounded GLP-1 shipped to us. We are doing half the recommended dose that they sent to us.

Already have some hormone testing lineup for next week. Would the Boron mess up the free testosterone results?

A lot of this could be mental. Dealing with the same thing right now. Had an issue one evening after plenty of drinks and now it’s on my mind. Got an appointment Friday and will get the Cialis. I don’t have time for this shite. ??

I’m also on TRT and Boron, wake up rock hard every morning.

I didn't want to mention that earlier, because once you start thinking it's in your head, then it's in your head, and ... it's in your head and you can't stop worrying about it. Especially when the female makes it clear she's desperate for a poking, and you think about it, and think about it, and you're screwed.

This is why I’ve seen placebo credited with as much as 50% efficacy for ED, it really becomes a mental issue for most who experience it.

Agreed, this is why anyone considering something like tadalafil purely for ED should probably try to get their hands on some bremelanotide (aka: PT-141) and try that as well. The most astonishing things I've read about PT-141 are hearing dudes say shite like, "I didn't just get an erection, "I BECAME ONE WITH MY ERECTION." Okay, that sounds like a positive review!

Starting out with 5mg/day of tadalafil is probably best for OP, stick with 5mg/day for a month and if no significant sides, increase to 10mg/day. Throw in the PT-141 once you've established a daily regimen with the tadalafil and possibly enjoy this amazing "Mind=Penis" connection that others have experienced.

yes, probably should have mentioned that, especially around here. PT-141 is not a daily use thing, 30-60minutes before you wanna jam, single injection. She can take it too, doesn't sound like OP's girl needs it, but everybody likes to feel like a superstar every now and again.
