what medicine are you taking? olanzapine? taking any SSRIs or antidepressants?

i take mirtazapine also cannot keep it standing sometimes ... 10mg tadalafil did the trick.
Yes I am on Olanzapine and Sodium Valproate. I'm not familiar with all these medical jargon, but I have been taking these medications since 2018, from the moment I started taking them I could observe my libido going down.
she doesn't mind your conditon?
That's why she's my (ex-)girlfriend lor. She doesn't mind, in fact she supports me going celibate, but I cannot overcome my own mental hurdles. So we agreed, let's take a break, I won't find other girls, but if someone better comes her way I'll wish her all the best. My gal is a businessperson, she likes to earn money more than having sex, so I'm ok with it having known her for so long.

Weight loss drugs might cause decreased libido / ED as well.

Were you on any?

You can still have intimate session with her without penetration (with your organ) you know?

She experimented and taught me how to do Buddhist Yab-Yum tantra.

I just did a full health screening at SATA Commhealth, and the results confirmed that I am suffering from testosterone deficiency. I'm not complaining, I'm ok with it because the good news is that I don't have too many other health hazards, but I am just being true to myself by confessing that I have been experiencing erection problems for the past four years at least. The last time my (ex-)girlfriend touched me intimately was four years ago, back then I was still attracted to her, but I simply couldn't perform in bed. The doctor said it was performance anxiety. Sex has become extremely stressful for me, and I have tried other means to get myself aroused such as watching prawn once in a while, but most of the time I am quite inert.

I just tried to jerk off moments ago, but I just won't get aroused. Sigh, I give up for the time being. My (ex-)girlfriend taught me to 顺其自然 i.e. let nature take its own course, so I let it go and post a little here in EDMW to confess my ineptitude.
Maybe is just because u haven't met the right one, cos it seems that your situation might be part psychological too.

I think it's more to do with ageing la. When I was younger I was easily turned on by any female schoolmate who had a pair of eyes, ears, a nose and a mouth. Age does incredible things to my sensual desires. These days I would turn on some prawn just to tempt myself a little, and I feel like puking my lunch out when I see men and women having sex. It's so yucky, I have difficulty trying to turn myself on when I see other people engaging in intimacy, much worse myself.

TS, what you need is testosterone replacement therapy. It will fix your ED issue and keep you healthy.
I'll do some research and see what this is, it's the first time I am hearing of such a term. Thanks in advance.

Can this be "treated"?

Brave of you to share the journey.

Please take good care & stay healthy. All the best!

How long does it take to kick in and how long can it last before it fades off? Any side effect so far?
20mg i can feel like my head exploding like that lol ...

10mg not bad .... hard but will lose some sensation. so now trying 5mg and still working pretty well

i take on empty stomach. take effect in an hour. last up to 4 days for me

but be careful ... tell doctor if you take any blood thinners or blood pressure medicine else you may pass out halfway :LOL: ....

also do not take grapefruit or pomegranate

The reviewing doctor asked me to do my exercise. She said it'd help.

Excersizing really helps. Change in lifestyle.
That's what the doctor says too. She says I'm also having Vitamin D deficiency, so she asked me to go out, get some sunshine, work out a little, and let nature take care of the rest. I agreed.

Don't worry, bro, jiayo... Maybe it has to do with psychological issues? Like because you think about your past not able to perform, so you keep thinking about it over and over and that performance anxiety kicks in then cannot.

Maybe got nutrient deficiency too? Try to up your zinc intake - oysters and whatnot, see if it helps. Then try picking up strength training or intense running as it can increase your testosterone levels naturally.


Lastly, if I may ask, did this happen gradually? Like slowly no more 'morning wood', weaker erections, .etc?

You mean trying out homosexuals? I'm a blood donor, if I go the path of gays I cannot donate blood.

I'm 43 reaching 44 years old this year.

We broke up amicably la. No, not stupid question, but we decided to go separate so that she can pursue her business career while I can look after my family. Our aspirations differ as we age.
not very old leh
