| Im 32, just got out of a 12 year relationship, have a new girlfriend
and am having problems getting/keeping an erection. I've done some
research and am trying maca-man from GNC. Trying to stay away from
viagra or any other similar products for now. Has anyone had any luck
with or have any comments on this product? So far, after 1 week of
taking it, i am starting to notice a slight increase in labido. Just
wonder if its my imagination or if anyone else can give me some more
insight to this product.

Did you have ED in your previous relationship?

|
| no, in fact in my last relationship sex was fine, which is interesting
because my last relationship was full of drama. NoI've been with my new
girlfriend for 3 months and it is a good healthy relationship, other
than my problem of course. But she is patient and is willing to help me
get this problem fixed. I believe my problem to be psychological
because I can get it up some times, but when we get down to having sex,
i go limp in no time. most of the time foreplay gets me aroused, but it
can turn off just as quick.

I agree that it is psychological. I would recommend that you try one of the
ED drugs and see if it gets you past the performance anxiety. You can
either go to your physician or order online at someplace like
www.alldaychemist.com You might consider trying both viagra and cialis and
see what works best for you. After things turn around, you can taper off
the meds.
It would be helpful if you could sort out the problem. Most likely it is
some negative self-talk that you are inflicting on yourself. One thing that
I have noticed is that some people get addicted to drama. That aren't happy
unless things are in turmoil. You can get used to a high level of
excitement in your life and when things change you subconsciously find ways
to sabotage things.
As for the stuff from GNC; I don't suppose it could hurt, but if it was all
that great people wouldn't be paying $10 a pill for Viagra. I would move on
to something proven like one of the ED meds that work well for most men.
One study that I have posted here shows that they all work well, but younger
men with psychogenic ED favored cialis by a small margin.

If your problem is performance anxiety, it is extremely unlikely that Maca
will help. Viagra or one of the other ED drugs would be a much better bet.
Therapy with a specialist, focused on your performance anxiety issues, is
another avenue to consider.

I think that has a lot to do with it actually. That really made alot of
sense. In this relationship so far Ive noticed myself expecting
everything to turn to crap at any moment, when in actuallity, it seems
things are going just fine. I plan on talking with a therapist soon and
will try Cialis I think. Most of what I've read so far seems to show
that cialis has less side effects. Thanks alot for your advice.

A lot of us do this, so don't be too hard on yourself. Once you realize
that it is happening, it is easier to fix. The clinical term for this is
"homeostasis." It is the drive to put things back on the path that you are
familiar with - one that may not be the healthiest, but one you know how to
navigate.
In the mean time, I think giving the ED meds a try would be a good idea. It
will eliminate a source of anxiety. You can taper off the meds once things
settle down. Cialis may have fewer side effects, but it has been my
experience that after a few doses of Viagra, the side effect virtually
disappear. I would try both. Be sure to test them before having sex with
your partner.

I'd go with one of the ED drugs. Just having it on-hand might make you
feel better. A buddy of mine has diabetes and was having some ED
problems. He put some Viagra in the drawer of his nightstand but never
had to take any. Just knowing it was there gave him the psychological
boost he needed.
And, if you do need to take it, well it is likely to be better than
most of the herbal stuff.
Your doc will be happy to give you a free sample. Cialis is my
favorite.

| Had gone to the doctor and received a sample of Cialis. I took it a
couple of hours before meeting up with my girlfriend. Once we got down
to the nitty gritty, it seemed to work pretty well. I had only taken 1
pill (20 mg.). 5 days later, without taking anything, I was able to
perform like natural. My girlfriend has gone on vacation, so Im anxoius
to see if Ill need to take another pill when she gets back. I figure Im
going to hold off to see if I'm able to perform naturally. If not, I'll
take another Cialis. Im curious of how long I might expect to take
Cialis (assuming I need to) before tapering off and how much would I
expect to taper off? Thanks again to all for your input.
