Impotence & Erectile Dysfunction Support Group
Erectile dysfunction or impotence is a sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis for satisfactory sexual intercourse regardless of the capability of ejaculation. There are various underlying causes, such as diabetes, many of which are medically reversible. The causes may be physiological or psychological.
I wish I could create a second profile for such an embarrasing post.
My wife and I both have health issues that interfere with our sex life. I've been trying overcome my problems, she's happy just to be sexless. Sad. But anyhow, maybe about 3 years ago she told me to do what I had to do or what I wanted to do, I forget which, she just doesn't want to hear about it. We have no intention of separating.
That sounds simple enough, but most women, like 99.9% of them, don't want anything to do with a married man. I didn't know this, but if a woman goes on a date she wants to see a path that leads to marriage. Plus there's a kind of fellowship among women, it's not right to mess with another woman's husband.
I have epilepsy (well controlled) and migraines that are so bad that sometimes I daydream about death. I have high blood pressure that takes a LOT of medication to control. I'm losing weight but still 30# over where the doctors tell me to shoot for. My testosterone level would be lower than a woman's but I get a shot every week. Overall I take enough medication every day to stock a small pharmacy. Maybe I should give up, but I haven't.
So once in a while i get a date. Usually my date has several orgasms from foreplay. Sometimes an amazing number. But then my erection isn't really strong enough to get a condom on. I lose anything resembling an erection. I never get a second date.

I don't have any answers. I wish I did. I'm dealing with med-induced issues as well. I'm hoping to get changed off of some antipsychotic injections back on to pills because pills can be moderated much more easily.
But I most likely have to be on meds for much of my adult life. Maybe in 5 years I could be weaned off one doc told me, but I highly doubt my current doc would be willing to try that with me.
Every single med I try messes me up sexually: Risperdal, Geodon, Abilify, Perphenazine, Fluphenazine. It's very frustrating. And my doc can barely even discuss it. I think she's too embarrassed and also not very knowledgeable. I think she just sort of gives up.
But I don't. It's my mind and my body. I consider sexuality kind of a God-given right of humankind. It makes me philosophically and sexually frustrated. I'm a very sexual person but you'd never know it due to my downed wiring and plumbing due to meds.
I've had some times off of meds and my sexual capability came back, so I know it's not anything else.
All I can say is god damn these meds sometimes.
I guess if I had a wife I'd be happier though. Be thankful that you have a wife. Maybe there are other things you can enjoy together that could give natural highs from. Just don't do illegal drugs. That destroys people.
Well, those are my thoughts. Peace.
