Best lifestyle & diet
|
|
|
| I have some mild ED problems, mainly from weak erections which I've
always had. Fortunately my partner is great about it and once I'm 'in'
my erection firms up and we can proceed normally. Unfortunately if it
doesn't feel 'just so', I can lose my erection once inside so I tend
to be rather selfish and finish when I get the urge rather than
holding back. This isn't how I want sex to be 
So I was wondering, I'm 30 years old, fairly healthy, average diet I
guess - what is the best or most positive thing I can do to improve my
erections? I have been to the doctor and he has confirmed I have no
medical condition that causes it. He let me try viagra and it cures
the problem but I'd feel happier changing to a better lifestyle rather
than using medication.
Any help appreciated

Some medications can cause problems. However, if you've always had the
problems that sounds unlikely.
Caffeine can also cause ED problems. As can smoking.
Did your doctor do any bloodwork?

Wouldn't we all? Aside from not having caffeine (coffee, coke, chocolate) in
the afternoon of "night" of activity, you can go through the; "get in better
shape" routing of exercising. Get rid of the everyday stress items, or take
a quarter tablet of Viagra. Many here have found that 25mg of Viagra is
enough to do the job, but little enough to prevent side effects. (Especially
with repeated use).

I'm not on any medication although I do drink ~2 strong cups of coffee
most days. I don't smoke.
The doctor took several blood samples and a urine sample - to be
honest I don't know exactly what he checked for. He said everything
was in the normal range.

Being in shape helps in the sex act itself, unless you're completely
passive. The tendency being that if you're running out of breath, you tend
to hurry to the climax. (Same as when you start to lose your erection). And
there's the clogged blood vessels; adrenaline; testosterone, etc.

Use it or lose it. Some have found that pumping; ¼ pill of Viagra; or just
using it more helps. When we get older we do what's necessary to help
ourselves along. The medical profession has pills for just about everything.
I see no reason not to take advantage of they have to offer in making life
easier.

So it's a few weeks later, I basically cut caffeine out of my diet.
The result was.... nothing in particular. Erection strength is pretty
much the same as always. However, on the plus side I don't miss it and
feel a bit healthier (more of a goody-two-shoes feeling than anything
real, to be sure).
Another thing I found was Viagra works fine for me with only 25mg.
PLUS, it seems to help the next day or two as well. I'm sure it ain't
the drug still in my system, but rather like my penis is better
"toned" or something afterwards - it becomes completely hard with
Viagra, then retains the ability to get that hard for a day or so. I
guess getting fully hard removes the cobwebs then they slowly come
back ;)
Still looking for a non-medical "fix"... suggestions please (I'm a
willing guinea pig).

Jerry, I think recent research suggests that natural forms of chocolate may
actually be beneficial. Cocoa is nitric oxice releaser. There was a big
article in the NY Times about this a few weeks ago. You might have to
reconsider whether it belongs on your list of no-nos.

Thank you. I hadn't heard about that. I wonder if the caffeine offsets the
NO. Sex is getting complicated.
