Hi, I’m new to the forum.
I’m 30 years old, healthy body weight, fairly regular exercise and can run for over 4 miles without having to stop. Blood pressure is occasionally high I believe due to stress and anxiety.
I have been in a long term relationship with my girlfriend for 9 years.
I’ve suffered with performance anxiety and ED for several years, in fact since becoming sexually active.
95% of the time I have sex with my girlfriend I’m using either sildenafil or tadalafil. Relatively low doses and they’ve both been effective for me.
With a significant recent increase in stress, I believe I have developed a tight/dysfunctional pelvic floor. Which has caused a few problems. I found this forum when looking into premature ejaculation on Reddit, one problem I’ve been having recently.
I joined the forum to learn about lasting longer through edging and reverse kegels.
I got myself a penis pump and tried it for the first time today, to try and restore some good erection quality which is one of the benefits I’ve seen claimed.
I didn’t have much luck with it. First attempt I couldn’t get a seal due to hair, so I had a trim and tried again later.
Because it didn’t work and I was still soft, I took about 7mg of tadalafil.
I managed to get all the way up to the maximum size of my full erection, however it was just a pumped flaccid rather than a real erection. As soon as I released the pressure it returned to flaccid.
Seemed a little strange that the tadalafil didn’t make a difference and it’s started to get me worried.
I thought surely the combination of the pump and tadalafil would give me an erection?
Perhaps I’m putting too much pressure on myself and was a little nervous with the first usage, or just not in the mood at all but I thought I’d see some results.
I have stopped porn, however in desperation with the failed pump and tadalafil combo I had a browse through some NSFW subreddits which was always my go-to, but nothing. No life in it at all.
Also I’d like to mention that this morning I was about to achieve a 75% erection shortly after waking, and edged for 5 minutes whilst practicing RK. But the erection started to fade after about 3 minutes. I stopped and recorded the time.
Ideally I want to practice edging every day or every other day, but I’m concerned about the poor results I had today.
Has anyone experienced problems with pumping and not gaining any erection from it?
Is it possible to just have a bad day with it?
Thanks for any help, I’m finding a few combined problems quite difficult to deal with.
