I was able to successfully have sex last night, without being on Cialis or anything like that… And, it wasn’t even a struggle.
What I’ve been doing… Arginine/Lysine combo, Vitamin D (5000 UI daily), Centrum multi-V, Kegel exercises every other day (for like the last few weeks or so).
From what it felt like, the Kegel exercises were the greatest benefactor.
These have all helped me at different times. I still take Vit D though the effect waned after a few days. Arganine now causes an opposite reaction where I cringe, have nerve pain and muscle spasms from it. The penis did get bigger for a little while the last time I tried it but within an hour it was doing major shrinkage like my body was fighting the effect. It worked as I took it on and off for a few months. Kegel exercises helped a while too but the more I did them the less control I had over my bladder, like it was over strained, and I was only doing a few of them daily.
I’ve really been going natural lately. The best thing I can do for my health is not have sexual activity. I don’t enjoy it anymore anyway, when I can get some kind of erection. Climaxing is usually unpleasant and is followed by muscle spasms and cringing in my back and neck, the morning when I wake up the middle of the back of my head is usually bent down to the tops of my shoulders and the back of my neck isn’t visible. My girlfriend tries to straighten it but I wake up when she does.
Mike,
was your unit really stiff though? Once I tried Cialis, I remembered what a real hard on is like. Most PFS guys have a softon, no pun intended.
After a night on the terps the next day i can root like old times.
Soft-on, you hit the nail on the head.
Sadly, no sex for me with cialis or viagra post Finasteride. No real sensation there anyway and no interest. Anyway, I can’t imagine showing anyone my penis in the state its in now.
I agree with you about the kegel. I would get discouraged and always figured whats the use. I really dont want to look at or think about my penis if I dont have to. I need to try to start doing them along the the zinger.
I was able to have sex w/o cialis or viagra…needed manual stimulation though… and even then it was short lived and unpleasurable (unlike pre-fin).
In my case I haven’t been able to have sex without Levitra of Viagra for the last 3 yrs since quitting Fin.As for masturbation…forget it…I’m ALWAYS 50% soft!
But some weird reason I still have decent nocturnal erections???
basically need ED meds. For me Levitra wins hands down. Cialis barely has any effect slight but I still will take it becuase it stays in your blood 36 hours and should improve blood flow.
when I am at my worst from a shrinkage perspective NOTHING will help.
How much of a window do u have to boink on Levitra? Do you have to time it right?
Viagra didn’t work for me and I dont see how it would help adhedonia or refractory period, which are the real problems for me…
Vision -you should try each med as each works slightly different.
Viagara stays in your system only 4 hours.
Cialis stays in your system for 36 hours; that is why they have the low dose daily option. Does not work that great for me.
Levitra - hands down winner, has not failed me unless in one of my truly shrunken states. Best to wait 30-45 minutes, stays in your system 12-14 hours.
My advice - when you are ready take half a pill and then another half a pill 30 minutes later. Boink 30 minutes after that…
Hey guys, to answer some of the questions…
My unit was definitely hard, and not soft. I woke up in the morning with an erection too. Since Friday, I’ve had a few spontaneous erections too. Last night with my gf I felt a desire for sex, but she was on her period so we couldn’t do anything. Its way too early to gauge anything, but like I said, it feels like the kegels are the greatest benefactor. I think the arginine/lysine combo may be helping, too. Once again, guys… I’ve been a sufferer of pfs since I quit the poison. All the symptoms everyone has described I’ve had, too. In general, I’ve had to rely on cialis for sex, but haven’t taken it in 2 weeks.
I can have unassisted sex, but I cannot get a spontaneous erection, so I have to manually stimulate to get one. Also, it’s definitely NOT of good quality, and sometimes comes and goes while having sex. Overall, it’s a stressful and unpleasant experience in general. But yes- it can be done without aids (and has often been done, b/c I’m married and we tried to conceive for many years, etc.).
Hey guys,
Since my original posting last Friday, my libido/erections have still been strong. I’ve been feeling a strong desire for sex, and I’ve been getting spontaneous erections and all. I’m reluctant to say all this, as I don’t want to jinx it, but hopefully this is a turn for the better.
What I’ve been doing…
Arginine/Lysine combo (1000mg of both daily)
Multi V
Vitamin D (5000 IU daily)
Kegel exercises every other day
Can someone else try all this for 2-3 weeks, and let me know how the results turn out?
Thanks Scared2. Timing is very important with these meds.
I will try to get my hands on some Levitra.
I usually have to take Cialis at least 12 hours before activity to ensure there’s “movement in the bullpen” when needed.
I’ve also heard that one should avoid taking these meds after a heavy meal.
I do it every day. But the problem is that I can’t go for a second round.
How you doing overall these days Fanjeera?
I have had sex prolly 8 times without the use of an ED med… I am on TRT however… Sometimes I have to take it and sometimes I don’t… A lot of people on this forum don’t think I crashed just had mild ed but I did get diagnosed with LOW T
I can have sex without any medication but I can’t ejaculate twice in a row, but mostsly I can get an erection after the first ejaculation.
