Just when I think I'm improving my ED and low libido keep coming back
Just when I think I'm improving my ED and low libido keep coming back
So i haven't posted here in a while mainly because I don't practice PE but I still read the ED section of the forum sometimes. Anyway so I have been trying to do kegels recently (as they have worked for me in the past) I first mainly did normal kegels and my erections got better, still hard to maintain though but my penis got into a "hard flaccid" state. After a bit of reading I found out that the "hard flacid" condition is likely due to tension in the pelvic floor muscles so I worked on relaxing my pelvic floor, I noticed that my penis was getting softer and more spongy I saw this as a positive sign. I even got a few random erections which rarely ever happens anymore and when I got hard it would stay firm for longer and it wouldn't die as quickly also the glans while still not at full engorgement didn't deflate as quickly. So I ejaculated a few days ago and now it seems again my penis is dead, haven't woke up with any wood at all and have virtually no libido.
I have been more dedicated to making changes, I have changed my diet, eliminated sugar and caffeine completely, been doing exercises, pushs up etc, going to bed earlier, avoiding porn as well. I definitely feel more confident, alert, outgoing, have no anxiety, worry or depression anymore I swear my voice is deeper too but when I wake up with no erection and severely deflated glans it gets me down. I have seen recently that I can get good erections again but why aren't they lasting? It seems my erection has goes weak again after I ejaculate but I only cum twice a week at the most usually just once a week. I have stopped viewing porn for nearly a week and it's like if I'm not watching porn I have no libido. I have read that the penis can shrink if you don't use it often ( especially being a virgin) therefore getting no sex so I try and make sure I cum once a week at least or a couple of times I'm terrified at the thought of my penis getting smaller.
I'm not trying to be a downer here I still continue to work on my myself and try and remain positive but sometimes I feel like depression is creeping on me again and my optimism is crashing down I wonder If I'll ever be able have sex with a woman or get an erection spontaneously because I just can't tell anymore if my penis is going to work or not I'm scared to even try and have sex because of thiss. I'm not ruling out this could be partly a mental issue as well I did try and see a psychiatrist but it never went anywhere (they haven't got back to me to see them again basically). I don't see what I'm doing to make my erection good one day terrible non existent the next. I do believe I have lower testosterone than a lot of men (doctor said it was low normal) so I am working on this.
Any idea guys?
Thanks
