Anyone has sexual symptoms without Libido loss?

Symptoms
#1

Just wanted to ask this to figure out some medical pattern among us, and it is also about my personal experience. So anyone here have sexual symptoms but 100% unchanged libido (visual arousal, and feelings of desire) ? Please state your own experience if you fit the profile, thanks.

I personally never noticed any changes on my dopamine like arousal/ visual lust and general libido after crash. ( i am rare and mild case) but heard some other people have different set of particular symptoms too. Like only numb orgasms or only semen volume issues without libido loss… is it possible?

#2

Yes, me. I still have my high libido, but there’s basically a lot less blood flow “down there”. It’s like the signal from the brain isn’t even close to what it’s been before.

I have PSSD with only sexual dysfunction of this type:
-I still have interest and sexual desire, I can fantasize about having sex and taking sexual initiative
-this is driven mostly by emotions and feelings
-I also have lustful desire, sometimes I watch videos to get excited like I used to do, however:
-I have lack of genital reaction: the clitoris no longer reacts by becoming aroused, blood does not reach, I feel no tension there, if I stimulate the clitoris it does not give pleasure, whereas before it was instant arousal and pleasure. I can reach orgasm through “forced” and not pleasant stimulation. orgasm no longer gives real satisfaction. it is “contracted”, mechanical, without large spasms.
-despite I having libido, this is not 100% because it does not meet the excitement and pleasure that would give rise to a virtuous circle.

I also have a normal libido, and my only sexual issues are ED and ejaculatory anhedonia.

Hi Cooper,

Yes, I still have a relatively high libido and only believe it’s been rather lowered due to the stress of other sexual symptoms. My main issue right now is genital numbness, particularly along the lower shaft and glans.

The depression from the physical symptoms has definitely impacted my libido for sure
So it’s tough to say if my libido is actually affected by this OR it’s a symptom of the depression caused by this.

I used to have raging libido when I was younger as most do.
I was considering laying off porn to re-sensitize the dopamine receptors tho. Like a solid 2 months just to see if it’ll help.
I feel if I’m calm, relaxed and confident I’d be ok libido wise. But this shit runs deep and libido is so very mental so it’s like I’m fighting myself

I have normal libido but erection problems that got worse after the 5th year of PFS. I even have it when I’m dreaming, a couple nights ago in my dream I was with a woman, and I had ED even in my dream :confused: .

Bumping this

Has ANYONE recovered from “visual” libido? Im talking about the ability to actually get turned on from looking at women (nude or otherwise). The feeling and mind-dick connection that signals sex. And also the ability to get hard from that.

This side effect and ED are my MOST HATED fucking sides and they are the only ones I got. Please tell me theres hope in recovering from this.

#10

I’m not sure how helpful this would be, but I suffered this kind of disconnection after crashing. It took me several days to recover from it, but I’m able to get an erection from visuals despite lowered libido.

#11

Yes, people recovered fully on that side. Fix your root cause man. I literally explained what is the cause of PFS, how to fix PFS here in multiple posts, that’s the best thing i know. I don’t claim it is a sure way to fix. But i know and talked with people over the 7 years. You focus on single symptoms one by one, i am saying everything is connected in your body. Everything.

If i ever know the knowledge i know now. If i ever know… I guess that’s what life is all about. I came a very long way to this point. Wish i had that shortcut before.

#12

I fully recovered from ED and many other sides but visual libido is nonexistent unfortunately. 2.5 years in.

Yes,

I have normal/high libido and not often have problems getting it up.

My main problems are ejaculatory anhedonia and sensitivity.

I suspect my issue is the prostate. Giving myself a prostate massage results in a crash with all side effects getting worse for 2-3 months before slowly recovering.

Ive been waiting for a urologist to take a look at my prostate, however, the medical system in Canada is slow and I haven’t gotten a referral as of yet.

Start TRT with HCG it should fix your ARs in the prostate. If your doctor is smart enough he will prescribe you the same, but since every one of them are complete idiots, i say it first.

Get leukocyte and bacteria tests in your semen. See if you have also bacterial prostatitis. He will give you anti- biotics probably for that one. And no prostate massages should not make you worse something is way off there.

Tamoxifen or Clomid if needed after the TRT cycle. Take these supplements for full nerve healing, vessel vasodilation and optimal health for that particular issue.

  • NAC
  • Alpha Lip. A.
  • Niacin with flush
  • Chelated Copper
  • Vit B complex
  • Vit B12
  • Magnesium
  • DHA and EPA
  • L- Carnitine (not recommended for pfs tho it upregulates ARs further.)
  • L- Citrulline
  • Glycine at bed time.
  • Coq10
  • Daily cialis
  • Vit D 5k iu daily.
  • Sodium Butyrate 2gr daily for epigenetics and gut health.
  • 5mg Lithium Orotate (hdac inhibitor)
  • Also research DIM and its effects on prostate methylation. I can’t recommend this now as it seems it has complex methylation effects which can be bad for some.

And damn you live in Canada and the medical system is that bad? Seems weird. Why do you even have to wait to see a doctor? It is even not like that in 3- 4th world countries. You have nerve damage around your prostate google the anatomy, all of that horrible shit is just nerve and prostate inflammation. @lt1camaro

You probably won’t do anything i recommended, but here it goes.

Out of curiosity @Cooper, what exactly have you tried yourself?

#16

Apart from CoQ10, virtually everything you’ve listed gave some people in here very bad reactions.

#17

Thanks for all the feedback Cooper.

What usually happens during a prostate massage is after ejaculation i get complete loss of ejaculation feel, regression in libido, and loss of sensitivity and this is accompanied by major left testicle pain for 2-3 months.

I have noticed that when I am on Doxycycline it marginally helps with those sides. I’ve been dealing with all this for the last 4 years and now is when I am looking to seriously treat it.

Some key things from your list that I have taken are Magnesium, NAC, Vit B complexes and B12. Will look at the rest as well.

Unfortunately in Canada, my family doctor has to refer me to a “specialist” doctor and due to all this Pandemic I’ve been on a waitlist to see a urologists’ for over a year now. I will follow up with my doctor on the urologist status and see if I can start on TRT+HCG asap.

Thanks for all the help and write up!

There isn’t currently hope but as soon as serious research gets started scientists will learn what PSSD/PFS/PAS are, and at that juncture it will be possible to treat or even reverse. At the current time the best option is to do Ozeph/David Sinclair methods of epigenetic reset.
