Having ED issues

I mean Porn Masturbation and Orgasm (PMO). First of all I don’t get how you categorize jelqing as masturbation. I still jelq even while doing no PMO. If it feels like masturbation maybe you are doing it wrong.

Edging, I wouldn’t do at least for the time you will be abstaining from PMO. It gives you a dopamine rush even if you don’t ejaculate. And for maximum benefits, anything erotic, be it stories, pictures, or even scantily clad women walking down the street will set you back in your attempt to reboot your brain.

Have you tried serrapeptase to break up the fibrosis?

Thanks for the info. I think it’ll be difficult to abstain from even edging, and all I’ve noticed from edging in the past is an increase in EQ. Gonna be tough quitting porn as I use it as a jelqing tool. I guess it’s just gotta be mind over matter. Gonna be an interesting 4 months without sex anyways, might as well get rid of this ED issue while I can.

I’m not sure if I mentioned it earlier in the thread, but she’s still able to get me off orally but even that takes a bit of work.

I really feel like this is just something related to stress and nerves, as I’ve always watched a lot of porn and masturbated a lot but never had an issue with keeping it up during intercourse.

Card,

I used to be the same way. There was no way I’d “lose” an erection. I’m not a young buck like you so a lot of men accept it and move on. I don’t want to live without an erection. It’s not like I’m going to give up on it.

Bruna,
Good information & questions. Thanks. So any erotic adventure should be avoided including Self Stimulation (Masturbation)? Occasional sex with the wife?

I don’t know if I can jelq without getting at least some partial erection. I’ll have to try it. This is the exact opposite of edging. Full build-up to 0 buildup.

I will check out serrapeptase and see what my GI thinks. Maybe it can help. Basiccally I take Propranalol to expand the blood vessels for the Portal Hypertension and Daily dose of Lactulose to help reduce the blood ammonia levels. (There’s another mental/thinking problem) Do you think this could be causing my ED. I do get euphoric feelings like I’m out of my body at times.
I’ve been to Mayo Clinic and they think we’re treating my liver condition correctly. They told me 4 years ago that any alcohol consumption they would consider as a suicidal behavior. I don’t think they were kidding.

Thanks again, buddy! :)

I have way too much sex left in my life to give up on having an erection.

It is two-fold as far as why I mentioned quitting edging. First of all, there is the issue of getting a little bit of dopamine rush even without ejaculating. The other thing is, if you get fully committed to doing ‘nofap’ which normally includes noporn obviously, then edging just leads to masturbation eventually. If you decide to do nofap then you will learn quickly that you will have to stop edging.

Metamorpho, you misunderstood me I think. What I meant is that jelqing shouldn’t feel like masturbating even if done with some erection. I jelq at about 30-50% and apart from my early newbie days, the only feeling I get is very slight.

As for the fibrosis and the liver, if you are going to go by what the doctors at Mayo recommend, then it’s not likely that you will take my advice. Almost all the things you mentioned could cause ED: unhealthy liver, high ammonia or liver enzymes, drug side-effects, poor blood circulation. Hoping you get healthier.

Thanks for the information and support. :)

I don’t follow my doctors advice in everything. They’re just doctors. They’re busy and they make mistakes too. Mine used to play around with my Propranolol and subscribe other Beta-Blockers because Propranalol caused me to have blackouts when I’d get up too quickly from sitting at my desk. For years we did this juggling act with Tenorman and several other replacements. They asked me at Mayo why I was taking the Beta-Blocker I was on. I told them it was for Portal Hypertension. They persisted and drilled me again on why I was taking it. Come to find out Propranolol is a unique Beta-Blocker drug that can be used to treat Portal Hypertension. None of the other drugs do this. So I took the wrong meds for years. I could have died from a ruptured varisces. So yeah! I don’t always listen to their instruction. They did the same thing with Tylenol. It was the only over the counter pain med I was to use. Now they don’t want me taking any of them. I don’t use any drugs other than Propranalol for Portal Hypertension and Lactulose for Ammonia levels. I take multi-vitamins and supplements. Some of which I’m sure they wouldn’t like because of the medical research being inconclusive.

I may try serrapeptase. I will research it more. Thanks for the tip.

I’m sorry you’re having problems man.

I think porn and edging is a bad mix and I’m guilty of it too.

I’ve developed a reliance on it for edging and jelqing. That said, I have noticed weird symptoms from edging like I’ll cum prematurely but won’t actually cum. It makes me last longer in the sack but it’s a feeling I’m not used to.

I think your mind is making the problem worse. Nothing makes you limper than when you focus on getting hard so you should go to the doctor to get some peace of mind and set it to rest.

Honestly, you’re a young guy and this will pass. You’ll be making your girl scream and shout soon enough I promise!;D haha

I flat out haven’t been able to get good wood or maintain good wood at all since that last incident. I’m just sick of this.
