?? Sufferers of sexual dysfunction & a girlfriend

Symptoms Sexual
#1

Poll / Question:

How many of you sufferers of sexual dysfunction and ED have a girlfriend?

I am wondering if any of you who have been sexually active for a few months in a healthy sexual relationship, still while going through this annoying sexual dysfunction, are still suffering?
Or are you getting better?

Because after some good sex last night it occurred to me, after feeling better, if this in fact would help speed up my recovery, and/or if I would even still be suffering here.

Anyone here with a fulltime girlfriend since this started for you?? I would like to hear your story, with respect to improvements, or lack thereof.

Thanks

i cant really say, i havent told my girlfriend-im just using viagra. I didn’t even know i had this problem with ED or propecia until i started dating her and propecia didnt even cross my mind until i couldnt get it up for like the third time. So i started investigating of what could be the cause and then ran into this forum. But i have to say the viagra thing really helps mentally too-makes me feel normal while im on it so its kind of what is helping maintain somewhat of a normal lifestyle.

I am dating a great guy that has all of these symptoms… I found his propecia and did some investigating (ok I was snooping b/c I couldn’t figure out why or who was causing him not to sleep with me). I feel like he has no idea what is really causing this b/c he has yet to admit there is a true problem. This is the hardest thing to talk about.

How do I tell him w/o making it worse or sending him into a panic??

PLEASE HELP I am worried and almost heart broken.

First of all, DON’T tell him about this site. He will get sick just reading about all this stuff, and even if he weren’t to get these sides upon discontinuation, he may just happen to.
Then tell him that you just realized he was taking Propecia, but he really shouldn’t be. Tell him you have heard it is a dangerous drug, that after years of use can really have bad effects on your body, and that “you have heard, also from doctors, past boyfriends, that finasteride can cause bad effects, and fuck up your prostate.”
Then tell him you love bald men, and think they’re sexy. You won’t care if he’s losing his hair because he’s still hot.

Then hope he NEVER finds this site, but also recovers.
ANd to aid him, set up an appointment with a doc, endocrinologist maybe (preferably one that maybe knows its bad news), and tell him he should just get blood tests before he just quits immediately.
Buy him a year’s supply of Rogaine. If he’s still worried about hair.
Then get him to taper off the stuff over a period of a month or so.
Use it or lose it!
And hope he recovers fine.
If not, soon thereafter get more blood tests, and then a very good stimulation is called the “Clomid stimulation” test.
Get some Clomid (clomiphene citrate) and have him take 25mg before bed each night for three weeks. Then again, hope he recovers!

Good luck mang! :bulb:

Thanks for all the help. My fiancée has agreed to gradually stop taking the meds and go to the doc. Now we begin the battle of finding a good doc that will listen to us… any recommendations for the Atlanta area?
