Impotence Domino Effect

View More Posts Ignore
I think what I am experiencing is the "impotence domino effect" and I have no idea how to get out of it. I had one experience of losing an erection during sex, then my fear of losing it set up anxiety so that it kept happening. I am girlfriendless now and now I am experiencing kind of anxiety & depression and scared to even try to go after any more women. Does anyone have any advice for treatment of this? I have an extremely low self of steem right now and never had performance anxiety in the past but now I cannot figure out how to get out of this circle. I'm sure its psychologically based but it is really putting me down and I don't know what to do. Is it worth a doctor visit or do I do I have any other options? If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it I need to find a way out of this cycle.

" I take several psych meds for my bipolaer illess which cause me to be impotent. It's been 20 years since I had a satisfactory sex expeience. Most anti-depressants can cause impotence except wellbutrin. Maybe see a doctor or a therapist might help. Try viagra if you can and see what happens. Good luck keep me posted.

" there are around 60 reasons why you may be having your problem. go and get a complete workup with a urologist, a complete workup including hormones, diabetes, etc. do it now...don't let this ruin your life. It ruined my husband's life and our marriage because he refused to take proactive steps. Lots of luck! "
