Hi,
I'm a 32 Y/O MALE with a history (12 YEARS NOW!) of ED.
I also have some fluctuations in my Testosterone Levels, Subclinical Hyperthyroidism, and take Psychotropic Medication (antidepressants and such).
The hormonal issues are being treated. As for the Psychotropic medication I unfortunately can't stop (my condition is neurological).
This lack of libido and ED has caused me MANY MANY relationships, lowered my self esteem, lowered my libido to zilch, affected my mental health, and lowered my testosterone levels.
I recently put together a "Hormone Spreadsheet" which listed ALL of my Hormone LAB TESTS dating back to 2002!
It took a few hours!
What i found was that My Total Test is usually on the Low normal side, on a few occasions its been low. But my Free Test is usually high. Anyway, I know this is "that" kind of forum....but it was interesting to see that overall my hormones have been pretty good (even though I "respond" from a libido standpoint - REALLY WELL - on Androgel and such).
Anyway, once i saw that I did some SOUL SEARCHING....
I thought of the instances where I was aroused, but not aroused enough to climax.
The minute I put a condom on and their was lubrication involved and i didn't feel ANY PLEASURE. I'd go "limp" - this is common sense.
NO PLEASURE = LIMP....
I'VE BEEN MASTURBATING ON MY BACK WITH NO LUBE (DRY HAND) FOR 10 YEARS NOW.
So I began recalling experiences with certain ladies I've (attempted) to have intercourse with, and I can (right now) think of 6 where I was aroused enough to put on a condom and have intercourse, but I went limp because it didn't feel right (obviously because I've been using my hand for 10 years!) I can SERIOUSLY RECALL stopping (once they were tired of me trying and/or me going limp) and turning on my back and within minutes being able to do it myself!
Each time - I have to literally arch my back, curl my feet downwards, and masturbate rough (dry) - I know the exact spot to hit!
So that got me thinking....this ISN'T adult entertainment INDUCED...I've been masturbating the WRONG WAY FOR A DECADE! And maybe that's the problem.
I recently had 2 encounters at a "Gentlemans club" where I was getting a "lap dance" and the "entertainer" began giving me oral sex. She was also jerking me off. I felt some pleasure from it, but couldn't get aroused enough or an erection strong enough to climax. So I started doing it. I had to stretch my legs, curl my feet, and almost lay on my back (lol) and then i was able to climax!
So perhaps (in addition with the hormonal issues which again are being treated) - THIS IS THE PROBLEM!
I mean, if I'm used to that kind of friction - nothing else is going to come close!
I purchased a "Fleshlight" (number 1 selling sex toy that simulates a vagina and lube about 6 months ago) but its such a b--- to use!
When i have used it its so so easy to climax on my back but in any other position - standing up I've only climaxed once (and i was literally extending my calf's leaning against the wall - by the time i was done my muscles were spasiming!) but i can't imagine getting hard or climaxing in a doggystyle position or any other position for that matter (haven't been able to use the [words=http://fleshlight.sjv.io/c/348327/302851/4702]fleshlight[/words] in a missionary position either).
So I've TRAINED MY BODY to PHYSICALLY EXPECT this kind of friction in THIS VERY POSITION for years now.
Now I'm not saying they aren't other issues here - Psychological, the medication causing some delayed ejaculation and a lower libido, and my hormonal issues. BUT THE FACT THAT I'VE HAD THESE EXPERIENCES (2 OF THEM BEING RECENT) and this seems to be a trend that is continuing makes me think that ALL THINGS ASIDE THIS MAY BE THE BIGGEST PROBLEM.
Now if i get aroused enough, I'll climax with lube (during intercourse) - but its very very rare....i can only recall a few times and its been years.
Since this isn't adult entertainment INDUCED but rather Masturbation induced....How can i change this? Should i stop masturbating completely (I haven't masturbated in months now...but I feel like i should but start doing it the "right" way)
Most of what I've read is that this kind of problem (masturbation issues) are adult entertainment induced so the going advice is to abstain from adult entertainment or masturbation. In my case - i think it would be good to masturbate (the RIGHT WAY) because it would help my libido be stronger, help me want to have sex more, help with my hormonal issues (testosterone), help me look forward to sex, etc.....
I'm actually not masturbating because now i know i have this problem and i don't want to get the lube and try different positions etc. because i know it probably won't work and i don't know what to do when it doesn't (I'm thinking i should stop and try again the next time i feel like masturbating and eventually it'll work?)
Please guys. Help me out. What advice do you have?
12 years now....and a few of those experiences (when i recalled 6 above) were in 2003 when all this began....so its definitely the major problem. As i said the other stuff (Thyroid, Testosterone issues are being treated - its really only Test, the psychotropic meds i can't do anything about, but if I'm still able to have these experiences than its common sense that this is a problem that needs to be fixed).
