Vitamin D3

So after covid around 2022 I like a lot of people started using D3. I had also added Magnesium along with other vitamins.

I started experiencing some penis firmness issues and thought it was the magnesium.

At this time i really was starting PE and just doing everything wrong as well as experimenting with various PE exercises.

So I developed ED. Or so I thought.

Let me flash forward to this week.

I decided to begin D3 again. Guess what, limp dick again.

I go and seek out if there is a correlation. Reddit has several threads discussing this phenomenon.

So I stopped the D3 2 days ago (thankfully id just been using it about 5 days) and erections are back.

Just a heads up for anyone who may be using D3 as a supplement.

Somehow it affects some guys this way.

Fwiw

I take D3 and Magnesium. No issues.

It’s often the case that when something goes wrong we look for a cause. Then we find one.

To test your D3 theory you probably need a placebo that looks the same and then organize a month of D3 and a month of placebo then get someone to write a key for you as to which is which so you don’t know. Then monitor your erections for two months. This is an n of 1 experiment and not a particularly good one but before you blame a prohormone that your body generates in sunshine maybe it’s worth doulble checking. I mean if D3 were the problem then you’d probably have ED all summer.

Has anyone ever heard of a vitamin causing ED?

Weird for sure. But ive proved it. Plus have read where others had a similar scenario.

No, you’ve proved that you are convinced that D3 is causing ED. Your mind is giving you what you asked for. It’s called the nocebo effect.

No doubt other people experience this as well.

Its the literal only thing i dod different. Once i stopped so did my symptoms.

Its weird. Search reddit and you can find others who have experienced this.

The nocebo effect has great influence. That’s why I suggested the test above.

Also do you wilt as soon as you get a little sun? Then your body is generating D3 on it’s own.

I don’t know where you live but if sun is a constant thing in your life and you spend a reasonable amount of time outdoors during the day, your body probably generates enough D3 (and it comes with a side benefit of NO). It varies with skin tone - darker needs more - but 20-60 minutes in good sun (between about 10am-4pm) a day is enough.

I stopped taking supplements six weeks ago, to prevent skewing an upcoming set of blood labs. I never got around to restarting.

My logs (which are extensive!) show in increase in EQ. One of the things I was taking was 4000IU of D3.

Was I taking too much D3? Or was it because I re-started light hanging at the same time? Not enough data points to make a projection.

Conventional medical opinion is that that D3 is harmless until you get into ridiculous amounts. But there are a number of anedotal accounts on the web from people who started having peculiar issues when taking high, but not unreasonable amounts of D3, which went away when they stopped. Hard to tell what’s going on there, either.

In ridiculous amounts there’s a calcium binding issue and potentially a bone problems because of that.

There’s plenty of evidence for bigfoot and perpetual motion on the Internet.

4th day off and i was rock hard this morning. Results dont lie. Weird for sure. I was taking 4000iu.

Elvis says the Bigfoot reports are just a hoax.

I don’t recall erection issues that I could tie to ‘D’ but I was taking 5,000 IU every day for close to a year, had my level checked and was well above the toxicity level number.

I moved to one pill every other day and have been on the upper side of sufficient. No concerns I know of right now.

Its super weird phenomenon. I just mention it here because we are so dependent on EQ for PE. Also, it was something for a year I took and i believe it could have contributed to my ed.

To find this out was huge. I know many here take supps as well, so Im just doing what we do, share info.

Fwiw
