Blood flow and Viagra to " Special Area " question

[JJ5012 Banned Find all posts View Profile Close JJ5012]

I bought some real viagra (PFizer symbol) and used it on the day was gonna get some... and it did not work for me or couldn't tell if it was working at all. I have tried (Stiff nights) and (Gold Reallas) in the past and i could tell that they work...but 50mg viagra didn't do too much of anything that i observed.

Could this potentially mean that blood flow is not an issue...like that i have a Healthy heart ...healthy blood flow ..and healthy blood flow to penis. I could check my Testosterone to see if that is the issue...

And i am a on the road to recover with porn and masterbation...this could be tied in as well....

Any ideas on what i need to do with recovery from the forum would be well appreciated.

O yeah...one more thing! I never recieved a stuffy headache after trying it a couple of times. I never felt the symptoms of what viagra users experience when using it. whats does this mean for me??

Maybe you were "observing" it too much? Its always good to note that you have to be relaxed first before Viagra can have an effect. If you are worrying or stressing it wont help since the SNS will restrict blood to the dick regardless of what you have swallowed. If you were relaxed and but still saw no effect it could most probably be a metabolism issue. How old are you?

This however doesn't make any statement WHATSOEVER about the state of your heart or veins unless you have an initial disease or condition which affects the heart or veins (e.g HBP). Erections are "secondary" not primary.

I am 31 years old..... I'v been checking my vitals...

1. My father is a diabetic. Which type?? I dont know.. but my fasting blood sugar in the morning has be in the 120's for a couple of weeks. I do eat healthy with exercise and dont consume bad sugars and carbs.

2. i take tongkat ali and tribulus and cycle them week to week with saturday and sunday off with vitamin D ( 10,000 IU's a day). I test my total and free tesoterone 6 or 7 months ago.it was 380. This is all i can afford and do because i dont have insurance.

3. What else can i do to fix my problem.

Diabetes is not Genetic so I doubt your dad has a role to play. If you have diabetes its you not him. And to be honest those FBS levels are pretty high (pre diabetes) and am sure you know that. Have you ever had a full blood/urine test and appointment? Also, why do you take all those supplements? How long have you had ED issues? You have not given much sexual history for me to know what your "problem" actually is.

My Father's ---> Father died from diabetes!So With all do respect it is genetic!

I'm not taking any hardcore supplements. Isopure protien with zero carb zero sugar oatmeal for carbs in the morning then lunch meat and veggies

... I competed in powerlifting and my last lifting meet was 2009... thats when the erectile dysfunction began. Eating 5 to 6 meals a day 3 of those were shakes when i was competing... (During this time frame i did use pro hormone (finaflex)

I have not had a full blood/ or urine test or appointment yet. When i do i will let them know the details.

Sexual history --> females

You was horny/excited? With some girl or porn? Viagra is not supposed to give you an erection if you're not excited/stimulating...

Isnt 380 low?

[not2big Senior Super ModeratorPEGym Hero Find all posts View Profile Close not2big]

380 total T is in the lower half of the acceptable range (241 to 824), Viagra will only help generate an erection if you are stimulated either mentally or physically. Elevated blood sugar levels will reduce the effectiveness; however, i do not consider 120 to be excessively high, but could be a factor. A full stomach has a major influence on the effectiveness of Viagra. I can rarely get even a chubby after a night of heavy eating. I normally need to wait until the next morning before taking Viagra and even then I can have problems if my evening meal was especially large.

I believe the predisposition for type 2 diabetes (adult onset) is genetic but can be avoided with proper exercise and healthy diet.

I am going for a full physical and lab work and I requested a T-test tommorow, never had a T-test and Im 40.

Another question here.....i have noticed that in the mornings... if i do get an erection it is while i'm laying on my side or laying on my back but as soon as i get up and walk around erection is lost. Is this mental ED or Physical ED??

[litopita Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close litopita]

Losing your erection when you get up to walk around is not indicative of ED. I also lose mine when i walk around Most times you have just lost your source of stimulation and now your mind is focusing elsewhere. But it is also easier to maintain an erection lying sideways than standing since less muscle work is required to keep you rigid while lying down vs hanging.

About genetics regarding diabetes melitus, I am still on the skeptical side. My old man has type 2 and he is the only one in in the fam generation. Might not be conclusive evidence. But research backs it up. Although the points about exercise and diet are true especially DIET cant be emphasized enough. And the upper end of 120 FBS is high, especially above 125 for a considerable amount of time. The OP will need a thorough sit in and fluid test plus kidney and bladder evaluation to totally rule Diabetes out. Am not trying to scare you though, you probably dont have it

When I was diagnosed and put in the hospital for 3 days mine were 1150 FBS.

My grandfather died of Type 2 diabetes and my father and his sister had type 2. She died of it because insulin had not yet been discovered and my father died from complications at the age of 66. I was diagnosed 18 years ago at the age of 52. I have no proof it is genetically passed along, but the anicdotal evidence is fairly strong.

Careful with the word "anecdotal" when replying to litopita lol

Diabetes does appear to be hereditary as those with close relatives who were diabetic themselves have a far higher likelihood of contracting diabetes
