If you're visiting a urologist for what is likely a mental/anxiety issue, they will have no clue how to help you. They are trained to study parts and diagnose them accordingly. Assuming your urinary functioning is still regular, and it's only erectile issues, then I doubt it's circulatory. You may want to try some mediaton exercise by breathing in deeply to the abdomen and pelvis. Try taking 10 breaths like these and see if you relax. Remember not to force anything, just let things happen naturally. If you are experiencing any pain in the pelvic floor, you may want to see a pelvic floor specialist. Adding vegetables and having a smart diet can help as well. If all else fails, I would advise finding some mental health specialist. Remember not to worry about what's happening, it's just your body's way of communicating to you. Edit: looks like you haven't seen a urologist yet, just the pcp. I would at least get an appointment with one to rule out anything bacterial or prostrate related. If he says there's nothing wrong with you, don't get discouraged, and find an alternative route.

Welcome to getting older.

In all seriousness.....probably has nothing to do with neck injury directly. Saw Palmetto unlikely to affect you, but I would lay off it JIC. You're probably going to help your prostate health more by utilizing a healthy, whole food diet and using your prostate regularly (ejaculating on the reg). The most likely culprit is your head.

Bringing this problem to an anonymous message board was a good first step, lots of solid advice on here. I'm gonna go ahead and diagnose you with stage four dick cancer and suggest that you quit being a fatty immediately. You should probably consider lifting, as you obviously don't even now. And perhaps you're mother should stop being such a whore.

You're welcome.

Did you watch a lot of porn before? Sometimes when folks cut the porn it screws with their libido for a while, especially if you watched porn a lot and got yourself acclimated to filthy whorish acts

It seems that the saw palmetto did something.. Saw palmetto, like the drug Propecia, claims to help with an enlarged prostate, and also male pattern baldness (of course the saw palmetto's effects aren't proven). I know that there have been lots and lots of men who have started taking propecia and lost their sex drive. I don't know if 2 weeks on a weaker herb would do that, but it seems that was a moderate change you made recently.

My uncle has ED and takes pills for it. Says it helps him out. If I crush the pills to powder for him it works better he says.
I wonder what happens if I try some?

It's going to take some time, but you're on the right track by cutting out the porn. That is your problem.

quote:

Men who rely excessively on pornography to reach orgasm will often complain of withdrawal-like symptoms when they decide to go cold-turkey. Such men describe feeling “sexless,” leading many to become anxious and depressed about their diminished libido. Evidence suggests, however, that libido does eventually return—usually within 2-6 weeks of continued abstinence—as evidenced by the gradual return of morning erections as well as spontaneous erections throughout the day. “Recovery” is possible and many men have reported going on to experience extreme physical pleasure during intercourse with their partners after abstaining from pornography.

The mental part isn't working... like there is a disconnect, or my brain isn't getting the message down to my member.

This sounds like the problem, and it is actually very common in young men. For some reason (usually stress-related), you'll lose your sex drive out of nowhere, and since this is strange for someone your age, it sticks with you. From there, the mounting pressure you may put on yourself to "perform" is just counterproductive and will only aggravate you further.

The most important thing you need to learn to do is to clear your mind and relax. As someone said earlier, meditation is an extremely beneficial way of relaxing and keeping your mind clear. It teaches you to keep negative thoughts out of your head and be at ease, which will help when the time comes for sex.

If you don't have the time to devote yourself to meditation, try some breathing techniques throughout your day to help you relax and clear your mind, like this: LINK (It's cheesy, but it helps.) Again, working to relieve yourself of the kind of stress that sticks to your subconscious will only benefit you in the long run, and not just in the sexual aspects of life.

It is also important to not watch a lot of porn. If you've already cut that out of your routine, keep it that way.

Hope this helps.

I was going to say Dick AIDS but your diagnosis sounds just as plausible.

I would never take it upon myself to undermine another person's medical expertise, so I'll respectfully disagree. But we are in agreement on two things whether it be dick cancer or dick AIDS; 1)it is definitely terminal, and 2) it is unquestionably the result of the OP being a fatty.

Yep, if I was getting the limp dick and couldn't fap to porn anymore, might as well go ahead and call it quits.

Someone keeps downvoting our diagnoses. Sorry bro, it's science. You shouldn't come to the internet with these types of problems unless you're ready for the cold, hard truth.














































Hard truth, because your dick's soft. Get it?

1. Do you have a problem getting yourself off?

If no, it's mental.
