doctor appointment

i dunno if you guys will remember but i posted around the beginning of the year about having difficulty getting hard, lasting erections, it was entitled “serious problem”. well it’s a few months later and things really aren’t going that much better. i haven’t been able to stick to my routine very well either because it’s hard getting the erections and i usually just don’t bother with it. anyway, i need advice. i’ve made an appointment with a mens clinic in the city for this thursday, although now i am having second thoughts. the problem is that i am only 19 and 6 months ago i was the horniest thing alive. i would get rock hard erections in lectures just sitting there thinking about the polish girl in my chem lab, and not only that, but i had immense control over myself too. i was so confident because not only was i horny enough to rise to the occasion ANY time, but i also had the endurance to ejaculate a few times and get right back up again a few minutes later. somehow over the winter that all changed (check my post for the details) and now i don’t seem to have any control at all. i can’t get rock hard erections unless i really concentrate and when i finally get it hard enough, i’m ready to bust, and that’s not going to hold up well when i’m with the girlie. i basically have until end of june before i see her and nothing is more important to me than getting my old dick back as well as being able to make love to my girlfriend, because she is amazing, and if i can’t do that eventually, i will lose her. so my problem is, i thought health insurance covered this clinic, and last year when i saw the add (i remembered the #) that was the claim. but now after calling, there is a $285 fee that i must pay. now if this guarantees i can return to normal then fine no problem i’d pay a lot more. but the thing is i can’t really afford it right now, and the lady on the phone went over the procedures. she said it would only take 2 appointments and they are 90% effective in curing “impotence” which i’m not even sure i have. but she said something about the doctor taking a blood test but also giving me medication that will give me a 45 minute erection and i dunno for sure if the doctor will do this to study me or if this is the cure… cuz i do NOT want to be taking pills for this that is fucked i’m 19 that’s NOT normal especially since just 4 months ago i was perfectly normal and now i don’t know what the fuck is wrong with me. i am thinking two situations could occur, he’ll find some chemical imbalance, maybe testosterone deficiency or maybe an infection that will go away eventually with antibiotics, or he’ll find nothing and end up chucking some viagara at me or something.

other points to consider 1. i will be desperate only at the end of june therefore i have time to try other things

2. i called for the appointment last week and the schedule seemed VERY open, i could have had an appt the next day, so maybe i can wait and book in june if i’m at the end of my ropes.

3. not only is something fucking me up but now every time i have a sexual thought or look at porn etc, i put myself under a LOT of pressure to become hard (most of the time) and it’s going to be even worse when i’m with my girlfriend because i will put myself under even more pressure.

4. talk to my regular doctor, a little tough cuz he already knows me, but it’s free to see him, and i don’t know if he will take me as seriously

i know i’ve said too much already and i apologize but this is dominating my life now and it’s so scary too. the last thing is that my gf is so understanding and honestly doesn’t care about any of this, she somehow still adores me through all of this which makes me love her even more, but i want the old me, the one that would have rocked her world :( so any advice whether or not to cancel the appt? bear in mind i really can’t shell out 300 bucks without being sure about this

Hey Darkness,
Long time since you have been around. Glad to see you back. I”ll bet that guarantee is Viagra. Try checking this link out and making arrangements to check some of the information available. At least give it a look, before you decide to spend the money.

- TROUBLE GETTING OR KEEPING IT UP?

I advice you to see your usual doctor for free. Even if he doest take you seriosly, you have nothing to lose. I read your other post on this at the BP forum and it is suprising to hear that it is still a problem. I wouldnt shell out 300 bucks if you can get help for free.

Find out before you go in exactly what it is they are thinking of using before you sign up. Sounds vaguely to me like some injectible therapy which, imo, you are much too young for, unless you have some sort of diabetes issue or unalterable vascular problem.

Could be psychological, too. Not uncommon at 19, esp. with a new partner.

yup dom told me the same thing, the doc is gonna shoot me up with something that gives me a hour long stiffie and after doing this a few times i could get scar tissue etc so i wanna avoid that. they didn’t ask me my age when i called for the appt so i figure they just assume i’m in my 50s or something and time has taken it’s toll like it does on a lot of people.

as for the psychological problem, yes, if you look at my “serious problem” thread, that was most likely the cause of what happened to me with the girl that night, but how can you explain me having so much trouble getting hard when i’m doing it myself? and i don’t wake up with stiffies anymore either :( ((

would LOW blood pressure be a cause of this? the other thing i was thinking is that it happened after i got my wisdom teeth out in december, could any of the drugs i was given then have had an effect? i dunno what i was given during the operation, but i used percocet (oxycodone/acetaminophen combo) and tylenol-3 for the pain afterwards… that’s all i can think of

Darkness,I’m not able to give much help here but for what it’s worth , I would advise you to go get yourself a 100% medical check up.
You are a young man and shouldn’t need anything other than perhaps some medication for whatever is causing your problem.

Are you stressed, over exercising, run down, sleeping well, bowel movement regular etc, etc. There are many factors which may cause your symptums.

This could also be in your mind (sub concience), stop thinking about it!

As long as you eat well (no junk foods), do not drink too much coffee or alcohol, smoke, do regular exercise and above all get a good nights sleep, you shouldn’t have any physical problems.

As I said before, see your doctor, explain to him your problem but ask for the check up. Have all the tests that are needed to see if there is any abnormallities.

Most guys with blood pressure that is normally low don’t have problems getting hard, so that’s not likely it.

I read the “serious problem” post. You sound like a classic case of “Performace Anxiety” to me. You’ve worked yourself into a real bundle of nerves over this one event which occurred when you were tired and not feeling well and, by the way, sounded like you weren’t really sure you wanted to do it anyway right then and there in the motel. Problem with performance anxiety is that it builds and builds and becomes a self-fullfilling prophesy.

But there’s usually a nifty way out. When you see the doctor, don’t at first have the injection test. (Scar tissue buildup with injections isn’t that common, so don’t worry about that part.) I’d suggest you tell the doctor that you would like to try a short course of Viagra first to make sure this isn’t psychological. He will probably agree since Viagra is often a good cure for perfomance anxiety. You have a couple of no-fail sexual encounters, get your confidence back and then you don’t need the Viagra.

Try 50 mg of it on your own, solo, on a completely empty stomach just so you learn the timing of it and how it works for you. Then when you meet your girlfriend later this month you’ll be relaxed and secure about about using it for the main event.

We all have times when we’re not horny and we all have occasions when we don’t get hard when we want to.

You should ask the doctor about having a diabetes blood test to rule that out. We all should.

PS: Ask you doctor if he has any free samples. Pfizer, the manufacturer of V. is promoting it by giving out 6 pill sample packs to docs. Possible that all you end up paying for is the doctor visit.

I feel for you, get yourself some viagra take a 50 like avocet8
said wait an hour look at some porn at give the monkey a good spanking, than wait a day get some privacy call the women over take a 50 wait an hour and take your time look at every little curve on her body, Give her a massage lick kiss and smell every inch of her and than you should be able to give her a nice hard one. And after a few of these good times you can cut back to 25 and than to nothing at all.

Good Luck, try this before you inject, I really think it’s in your head and the only way to fix it is with sucess.

Dino

thanks guys so much for your help i definitely appreciate it :)

i think a medical checkup is in order. it’s possible i’m stressed (and that night i talk about in my other thread definitely caused me stress) and this is always on my mind, but even when i am relaxed and looking at porn or something like that, my erections are very slow, and when i finally achieve a good one and stop whacking it, i WATCH my dick slowly fall and it’s wayy too fast, i notice even when i have a decent hardon i can still bent the thing 90 degrees up and down if i want to. anyway, i smoke on weekends only, and usually only when i’m in a smoky place anyway, and not chain smoking or anything so i doubt that is a large factor (and i used to smoke a hell of a lot more and my erections were fantastic). i usually get 6 or 7 hours of sleep a night but that’s been going on for a long time too it seems to be enough for me. i work out 3 times a week resistance training and i’m trying to get back into a lot of cardio since that is going to help my circulation and heart, i definitely eat well (and always have) and i take a dump once a day on average which is good. and that is what really bothers me, i really have nothing to attribute these difficulties to. this leads me to believe it’s psychological, but i can’t believe that even when my mind is clear, my subconscious would cause this much shit! ahh dunno, what do you think

LOL i couldn’t help but smile. i’m f-n 19 years old and i’m going to be taking viagara this is crazy!! :P definitely for the month of january it was performance anxiety because even when i was by myself it seemed i had this fear of sex as a whole… but now that initial fear is gone but i still don’t have that confidence that i will be able to get hard when the time comes. and i dunno if i mentioned this before, but i can usually get like 75% hard (it takes longer than it used to, but i can at least count on it) like visibly larger, but not rigid enough to have sex, but it’s just that 100% that i’m not able to achieve. so it’s not that i don’t get any erection at all, just not full erections, and not lasting either.

so i will go ahead with the checkup. you said most likely i would only be paying for the doctor visit, so i should go ahead with the mens clinic or just see my regular doc? cuz if i see my regular doc then it doesn’t cost me anything, but $285 for the other clinic… and the fact that insurance doesn’t completely cover the mens clinic that i called, tells me that the government must have had some sort of problem with something they were doing that makes those services not covered by insurance.

Avocet and Doopy have given you good advice, let your regular MD give you a good going over, take the viagra. Having successful sexual erections a few times will be a great confidence booster (been there) and natural full erections will come along shortly.

that’s great guys, that’s what i’ll do. the mens clinic place called today to confirm the appt (my brother took the message for me) so i think i’m gonna cancel it. i’m also gonna wait a week or two see if by restarting regular pe again i get some effect.

you know that’s another thing that sucks about this. i have gained a wonderful 0.75” and if i don’t get 100% erect then this isn’t noticeable!!! all my hard work for nothing! i mean these gains actually made me much more confident about myself now but those gains can’t manifest themselves in a 75% erection! grr

relax darkness,

because I become impotent for min 4-6 weeks everytime I fall in love with a girl.

It happened all 3 times I really fell in love. I am 30 Years old and although many don’t understand this phenomenon I learned to live with that :-)

I am not horny and don’t even want to jerk off while this happens.

Hope this helps….

EasySqueeze

well that sorta happened when i was with her over the christmas break, i mean i met her in the summer time but didn’t see her again until the winter and it’s like i fell for her all over again and i must have gone a week and a half without spanking it, just didn’t think about it, and i was proud of myself cuz i’d surprise her with a huge load or something, but it seemed this didn’t help me when we finally got down to attempting to make love

i wasn’t worried at the time but these days i am afraid to let a day go by without beating it for fear that it won’t work the next day

and i wouldn’t be worried if it happened just when i was with her, at least i could be confident that there wasnt anything physically wrong with me, but even when i go to jerk off i am slow to become hard, and when i finally get a decent stiffie if i dont keep jerking it it goes soft in like 20 seconds i dunno :(
