I have been on DS for a few years now, & a few weeks ago made my first post, taking the difficult step of opening up about my heartbreaking battle with ED, just hoping to get a little bit of the support and fellowship I've seen so many members get from their peers all this time.  So after I poured my heart out, I anxiously checked back the next day (and the next, & the next...)- NOTHING!  Crickets!  The disappointment I felt at not receiviing even ONE reply was stinging, begging the question- is this a support group or a clique?  I actually have a medical background w/many yrs of experience working in human services, & along w/my many yrs of life experience dealing w/this problem could've been a valuable resource for this forum.   Shame.

This site doesn't get the traffic like it used to.

Simplest answer to your question is go to a urologist for an evaluation. Have your testosterone level checked, underlying health conditions, what type of medications are you taking (if any) and weight the options that are available. Do you exercise? If not, start.

I feel you LiferuinED.. When I join I had expectations also but like yourself they were dashed. I have noticed that this site goes in cycles a few months it hopping then it goes dead. So I quit logging on as much until now. Understanding that many people have problems and just don't think to logon. Sorry

Bbb & a59, thank you SO much! All I really wanted was a little acknowledgement. Everybody who goes through this knows how heartbreaking it is....I'm thinking of starting an
ED group for single men or men who's partners have emotionally checked out. There are lots of guys who either don't have a partner or their spouse has no interest in sex/working on the problem. Any interest?

I also have suffered from ED and it was really affecting my marriage. I actually went an alternative therapeutic route to address the issue using hypnotherapy. It was very few sessions and so powerful. It actually worked! My wife referred me to Parentyourmind.com to work with the therapist there. Anyways, I hope this helps it did for me and I don't take any medication for ED anymore.
