Avatar m tn I am 18 and suffer from performance anxiety, i cant maintain an erection when im with my girlfriend. We've tried many times it just doesnt work cause im nervious. is there any cure or way to maintain an erection for sure? would a penile pump work?
Avatar n tn Met my wife 6 months ago again performance anxiety, took cialis and it worked until I made a decision to try celexa for two weeks and I dont know if it was my anxiety or fear or did it really kill my sex drive. Viagra or Cialis didnt work. Went back on Luvox up to 150mg and Neurontin 300mg 2x a day.I would get an erection but a thought would pop into my head that Im not performing well and it would go down. Somehow Cialis started to work for me again and its been successful.
Avatar f tn You are loosing your erection because you are watching yourself -- performance anxiety. The way to overcome this is to take intercourse off the menu for a while. But to do this your will need to have a regular partner.
Avatar f tn It is probably safe for you to take Cialis. However, your erectile dysfunction is more likely related to performance anxiety since this is the commonest cause of ED in young men. Cialis may give you back your confidence.
Avatar f tn s a beta-blocker mostly used to lower blood pressure but sometimes used for performance anxiety situations like stage fright, exam taking, job interviews etc. He's used it with other patients experiencing ED. I also do take the beta-blocker pindolol which has kept my BP at 125/70 for years. Shrink says very occasional and use of propranolol on top of pindolol should not be a problem but I still have concerns which I will run by my GP.
Avatar m tn • Agree with your sex partner to take intercourse off the menu altogether for several weeks. • If you are not expected to “perform” then you can’t be anxious. • Fondle and pleasure each other in any way you like but no intercourse. See to it that her needs are being met. • Then sometime, when you have a good erection, she squats over you and places your penis into her vagina. She does all the moving and shaking while you just lie there and do nothing. You are not “on duty”. You are “off call”.
Avatar n tn I realize this is probably due to sexual performance anxiety after doing some light reading, but none of the treatments seem to help. My question is whether 1) Viagra or cialis will help me get over the hump and 2) will a doctor even prescribe it to me?
Avatar m tn It sounds like what your have is a hormonal imbalance. ED is rarely caused by performance anxiety although it can seem that way. Chances are your LH and testoterone are low causing the anxiety and ED that your having. Especially since you said you were sick which usually happens when hormones are low your immune system is weak. Google low growth hormone and ED and if you have the symptoms such as fatigue then try finding natural ways to raise the levels.
Avatar n tn ve suffered from sexual performance anxiety for many years. Anxiety, depression and other mood disorders can have drastic effects on your sex life. Fortunately, there are many effective solutions available. My doctor prescribed me Cialis but PDE-5 inhibitors are not anxiety drugs and only act locally. I'm also taking SEREDYN and VIGAMED (oral phentolamine) on demand.
Avatar f tn As time progress I have taken Viagra and Cialis to help boost my confidence and help with me in the bedroom. Know I find it more difficult for Cialis to work for me because my body has become immune to it...even when I took 2 @ time I was getting it up. It was very heartbreaking for me and dissatisfying for my girlfriend. Here is what I don't understand I can masturbate constantly with porn and and I have morning erections...so I get the feeling nothing is wrong with me physically.
Avatar m tn 00 AM, 5 hours ago. Since then I have felt no real change, and I still can't maintain an erection when trying to penetrate my partner. Am I possibly doing something wrong that might interfere with the drug's working? Is there something nobody told me that I'm forgetting? Should I try another drug instead of Cialis?
Avatar f tn I've been dealing with some ED just as I am about to penetrate, happens even with Cialis 20mg. Pretty convinced it's an anxiety issue because I can be hard as a rock before my current FWB arrives. My question is really about meds like Klonopin and Valium. I've read that they interfere with erections however small doses like 0.5 or 1mg have gotten me through highly stressful situations and the occasional life freakout. I aced an important software exam once thanks to a 0.
Avatar m tn re certainly right about the fact that stress can create performance anxiety. In fact, the idea of sex as PERFORMANCE rather than pleasure, is a major factor. The less pressure you put on yourself, the more you can relax and, together with your girlfriend, talk about possibilities. A hard penis isn't necessary for great sex. Creativity and attitude are much more important. I recommend an excellent book: "The New Male Sexuality," by Bernie Zilbergeld, Ph.D.
Avatar m tn Sounds like the problem is in your mind, performance anxiety. I had the same thing once for about 6 months. It started when I couldent get it up when drunk off my a$$, and I started worrying about it. It was kinda hit or miss because I would get all anxious. So what I did was get some cialis. If you take it, and have even the tiniest dirty thought, will get a blue steel erection 100% of the time, its very powerful.
Avatar f tn All drugs have different effect on different people. If you are on a drug, you will have to continue and increase the dosage. You will have to discuss this treatment plan with your doctor. You need an expert for these answers.
Avatar f tn Thank You this has helped a lot!!
Avatar n tn For most of us, sex is about fun and pleasure. If you think of it as performance, or a “job,” you set yourself for a stressful experience. Remember: Performance can be the enemy of pleasure and fun. When you’re self-pleasuring, you’re relaxed; thus everything is easier. I have no idea about any physiological condition you have that’s affecting blood flow to your penis. I wonder if you’ve seen a urologist who specializes in this issue? If not, I hope you’ll consider it.
Avatar m tn Hi Lytyr! I suffered from the same thing (coital anxiety) for many years until I decided to take some action and do something about it. Today my sex life is great and if I can do it, so can you. I'm not a doctor but I have a couple of suggestions that might be helpful: a) First and foremost, try not to worry too much (easier said than done, I know). This problem is extremely common and there are solutions available.
Avatar m tn In your case you have classical performance anxiety. Cialis would help give you back some confidence. A better solution might be to take intercourse off the menu and not challenge yourself. No performance no anxiety if you follow.
Avatar m tn This one worked fine but in mentally or physically I am not sure but i have also loss interest to sex. May be this is one side effect for cialis I am not sure, you know better than me. For that reason I have stoped cialis just took one. This week I try to do some exercise. Help help me with this issue.
Avatar m tn Also if these incidents are becoming more frequent you could be suffering from performance anxiety. You fear that this will happen and then it does. The mind is a powerful tool that can be a blessing and a curse. Good luck to you.
Avatar n tn Beta blockers are on my list to discuss with my doctor as many people take these for performance anxiety issues. I wish both of us luck as I wouldn’t wish erectile dysfunction on my worst enemy.
Avatar n tn kegels every other day about 75 flex reps, and 3 sets of a 30 sec hold. been doing kegels for a month maybe. Started doing other penis exercises like Jelq's. are these bad? tried all ED drugs (viagra, cialis) and they help nothing with the holding erection part I still lose erection when not stimulated. This is also messed up to me that these dont work.
Avatar f tn So I'm starting Cialis 5mg a day as needed for erectile dysfunction due to side effects from Metoprolol. I've cut down my dose of Metoprolol to about 37.5mg a day. I have no lack of interest, just my penis goes soft without manual stimulation. If I stroke it, fine, but if I'm having sex, for the last year or so, since I started the meds, it will periodically go soft without constant stroking which is highly annoying. I'm only 33 too.
Avatar m tn You problem is almost certainly performance anxiety -- you are looking at yourself trying to get an erection, at least at a subliminal level. The way to cure this is to stop challenging yourself. If I knew more about your situation re partner etc I might help you more.
Avatar f tn You may be describing a type of Performance Anxiety Erectile Dysfunction. This can develop overnight. It is very easily fixed. This can be done usually, though not always, without medication. The commonest cause of erectile dysfunction in young men is performance anxiety and the commonest cause of this is watching yourself trying to get or maintain an erection. Once a man is up in the audience looking at himself he is doomed to failure.
Avatar f tn Definitely,I was addicted to codeine for 20 years and sex to me was boring I felt no pleasure,I think with codeine we become numb,I have been free of codeine for 10 months now and my husband can't believe the turnaround,I've gone from having sex once a month because I felt it was my duty as a wife to wanting sex at least once a day,My husband loves the change.
