Do you think having a few drinks would help?

| Have I finally hit on the solution to my ED ? Tell me if I am crazy?
My libido is low, Testosterone is low and going to be lower soon as I
have to take Luprin. My ED is at its worst, and I haven't had sex in a
year. I am a widower age 70+ and think about sex all the time, but that
does not translate into having sex ,even when the opportunity presents
itself. The urgency to seduce and initiate is gone. I feel this is now
all in my head and maybe I need to loosen up with some good old booze,
like I used to do.
Tonight it occurred to me to have a tall Millers Lite with my dinner in
a sports bar. This is unusual since I have had precisely 3 beers and a
couple tastes of wine or spirits in the last twenty-five years. I quit
since the drinking got out of control and so did my actions while
drunk. Whether I am an alcoholic or not is debatable, but I have no
urge to drink.
My wife and I had enjoyed a very active and fulfilling sex life until
she developed cancer and became too sick to enjoy anything. Still, one
remark she made after I quit drinking was that I was better in bed when
I was still drinking! :-) That has stuck with me more than all the AA
slogans.
Why am I telling you this? I have not been able to enjoy sexual
relationships for about five years since (1) my wife died and (2)
prostate cancer resulted in surgery to remove the prostate. Now I had
full-fledged ED. After trying all the pills, none of which worked, I
settled on a vacuum pump and Trimix prescribed for me. The pump works
and the Trimix might, if I up the dose, or I can use the Trimix, Cialis
and the pump all together with more success. I still am not having sex.
I am sure the reason is that I feel less than interested in having to
pump the damn thing up or jab a needle into it and then try to have
intercourse. My libido is low enough to make me leery of even getting
started and these so-called remedies don't help. Even when the
opportunity presents itself I don't engage in seduction or anything
preliminary that might end up having sexual relations of any kind. Now
I think that I could lower inhibitions and worries with alcohol as I
had to do when I was just into adulthood. Then I could have an
erection just by thinking, but still needed the alcohol to be "brave
enough" to do anything with a woman. I know some guys will not be able
to identify with this, but I am from the classic sexually repressed
background.
Since I usually did better in sex with a few (or even many) drinks, I
think that would help me now and I should, at least, give it a try. I
can always afford a cab to keep out of the DWI dragnets and keep from
killing myself or others. I've learned that much about my drinking,
and more. I would prefer not to drink, but my life is nothing now, as
quality is gone. I have to take anti-depressants, have some prostate
cancer cells hiding in my body, according to my PSA 4.5 and urologist,
and live completely alone. The one thing I miss is sex and the
feelings associated being with a woman, as well as the chance to have a
girlfriend or two or three, or .... Maybe even have an honest
relationship once I sew my wild oats. Of course my self medication
might not work at all. .
So, hey, why shouldn't I give the Millers Lite, wine, or scotch
another try and see if my life improves? I am otherwise active,
optimistic, happy, and satisfied. I have two shrinks now and they are
of no help with ED! I do not feel they can help with this and that
getting the opinion of some fellow sufferers would be better.
Please reply and I will be looking for your wisdom.

If you think it will help, and it's not excessive, it will help.

Theoretically, yes.
Cialis or Viagra give me a marginal erection at best. (I should say,
marginal with someone else, great when wanking.) Cialis or Viagra
with 6 or 8 beers give me a great erection with someone else.
It's all about anxiety reduction. Anxiety releases epinephirene into
the bloodstree and activates the sympathetic nervous system, which can
kill even a C or V assisted erection.

| Very interesting. Anxiety is my problem, too. I have only tried a little
alchohol, fearing the more would work against me.
Although 6-8 beers...whoa! I think that I'd fall asleep with that much in
me.
I've always wondered if there were any reactions with those meds and
alcohol...apparently not.

| Me again, Thanks for the comments. I will check any Rx to see what it
says about alcohol use. Many drugs do state that alcohol might or will
cause drowsiness or other conditions.
I've not fexperimented yet, but will when I work out the logistics.
For boozing and sex I will have to drive to find the sex. I guess I
can get a hotel room and an "escort" of which there are many in my
neighborhood (Washington, DC which should come as no surprise).
>From experience, I do know that too much alchohol did eventually cause
erection problems for me. That was at a very high consumption level in
my life where I could easily polish off half a quart of vodka in one
evening. Earlier, with less alcohol consumption I did not have
erection problems, only driving problems. Everyone needs to know their
limit of alchohol for sex and driving. Someone here cautioned that this
is a problem since the booze can easily make some people think they can
drive a car at high speeds when they cannot.
I just answered one of the spam ads for some weird penis extender,
noting among other things, that after seeing Terri Hatcher on the
Tonight Show, I am pretty sure she would be a great help overcoming
impotence or driving me insane, one or the other.
I don't want to encourage anyone to drink to excess and am pretty sure
a few drinks just to release anxiety, stress or whatever bothers, would
be worth trying until the idea is proven right or wrong. Everyone is
different and tonight, I did fall asleep after a big meal and ONE beer.
Being a "dirty old man" is no fun when you no longer deserve the title.
Thanks and let us all know if the drinks help.
