Barely in recent times. Back then, daily sex was possible without magic blue pills, although I still had ED troubles due to low genital sensitivity and a libido that would feel okay one minute, then vanish into thin air the next. It was more likely for me to not be able to finish or go soft during the act than than it was to not be able to get it up with a few pulls and it was still too much for me to go hook up in a club (a few drinks on a bad day, and I was non-functional), but I could do okay in a steady relationship if I cared enough to please my partner. Had morning wood to some degree more often than not back then too. I went from one of those guys who needed it every day and could go multiple times without taking a break, to that, so it was still a huge psychological shock knowing what some of the competition was capable of.
I think aging in combination with all of these treatments I have tried over the years have finished me off. I’m to the point of popping a viagra once a week to keep my woman happy. On a rare good day, I can function without it, which happened a couple months ago. Maybe morning wood 1-2 times in the past year. Not sure if you consider that a sex life or being functional or not. Pretty sad IMO. Believe me, I sit around in a searing rage for some time every day thinking about how some scumbags at Roche did this to me for the sake of a few hundred dollars and got away with it.
So, I’ve seen what it’s like on both ends of the PFS/PAS sexual symptom spectrum and think if you have at least some function, you should take advantage of it to the fullest while you can. I also believe that it’s over estimated how often sex needs to be had to keep a relationship together.
Can you function with a PDE5i?
