Epiphany!

So, I have been thinking about my ED a lot lately. I actually went through the 5 stages of grief it hit me pretty hard. My GF in her willingness to help bought me a strapon. This however made me feel worse.

You see even with my average penis I have always been James Bond, Joe Montana, or Carl Lewis in the bedroom. This has been a big part of my self image and the one thing I could count on with a girl.

So, I was thinking about Oscar Pistorius ( blade runner) the double amputee sprinter. Is he complaining and feeling sorry for himself running the Olympics on prosthetic legs? Hell no! So why should I feel bad about using a prosthetic to run my race? I already give my Gf orgasms in other ways but now I will be able to compete in all the events. It is still essentially my movements my thoughts same as Oscar running on his blades.

I am still able to have sex with her with my 50% EQ and it feels good to me so I am not losing anything there. So why not embrace it? I sure didn't see Casey Martin complain using a cart in the US Open last month.

I feel liberated actually. I will still work to fix my ED but I sure won't obsess over it anymore.

I would like to thank everyone for their help and answers since I have been here. Also for putting up with some of my attitude.

Let's all keep working on this issue. You never know when one of us might stumble on something that might help others.

Very nice to read. By accepting your problem and then taking it on with a "positive attitude", you are as good as healed already. I dont know your full ED profile but am sure you will get fixed if you continue with this positive attitude. Good luck

My friend, hooksvsbird, great post and great attitude.

I can relate to you big time. I'm too am in the 50% EQ boat. In fact, it took me two years to get back to the 50% mark.

I also know the emotional pain from being king of the bedroom and having a super solid EQ to all of a sudden experiencing a low EQ.

My whole ED situation came about from getting a circumcision revision. After the circumcision (age 25) I still had my super solid EQ but when I was 26 I decided to get a revision (minor skin lift to cover unsightly bumps at the scarline). After the revision my EQ instantly dropped to 5% -15%. I’m age 29 now.

It took me tons of journaling and a Tony Robbins seminar to get my attitude from the negative tunnel to the positive tunnel. I do have a few negative moments with the ED but I’m mostly positive these days.

Positive attitude is a must. I do believe I can get back to a solid EQ. I’m not giving up on restoring my EQ and I have no problem using strapons. Even if I get to a stage where I have 0% EQ for the rest of my life, I’ll be okay. I can still have a great relationship and sex life.

One of the things that has helped me in the last two months to increase my EQ is spring water. Not water in a plastic bottle that says spring on it but water from an actual spring. My EQ is at it's best (50% - 55%) since the revision surgery. I done others things but Spring water is my recommendation for increasing the EQ percentage.

Thanks for your inspiring post. It means a lot.
