Need help, badly,

[Snake5422000 Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Snake5422000]

I am 34 yrs old, first noticed having ED at 33, last year...... My ED comes from heavy use of marijuana for over 20 yrs, and possibly some of it from porn. Also smoking a pack a day.... I've stopped weed, cigarettes, and porn, trying to stop masturbation long enough to reboot. I think heavy stress may also have played a part in it....

What I've noticed is, well let me first off say I don't trust ED pills (viagra, ciallis, lavitra), online everywhere I go people are talking about "vegan is the new viagra," well, I'd rather shoot myself in the face than live the vegan life (no offense to any vegans). I'm still readjusting and I feel like I am on a hamster wheel here, I can't drink, I can't smoke, I can't look at porn, I can't eat the foods I wanna eat, I can't masturbate, in short, I can't do anything at all which gives me the slightest bit of pleasure.... On top of that, I have to FORCE myself to be happy about it, even if I am totally miserable (which I am).... I can't keep living this way, it's way too unnatural to me. I want to be myself again and be able to get my erections back..... Not saying I have to go back to smoking weed and cigarettes, but I can't keep up this unnatural lifestyle of having to be some vegan health nazi. Hell, veganism can lead to anemia anyhow.

There is another way, right? What about ED creams, I've heard about this? Or Horny Goat Weed? Or Passion RX, or something like this?

I've been looking into Stem Cell therapy, there is a place in Arizona which offers SC therapy for about $7600 (it'll take me anywhere from a yr and a half up to 2 yrs to save up for this).

I've spoken with the SC doc, his name is Josh, this facility is in Phoenix Arizona.

Have you had your testosterone levels checked? That could be a contributing factor.

You are on the right track, stopping the smoking and porn.


There are definitely MANY other options before resorting to spending thousands of dollars. Start working on your kegel muscles, and perhaps some light jelqing, to increase blood flow to your penis. The horny goat weed may be of some assistance as well.


You might also consider seeing a urologist who specializes in erectile dysfunction if the problem persists. He can definitely pinpoint where the problem is likely centered, and give you some other options that wont cost multiple thousands of dollars.

[Snake5422000 Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Snake5422000]

Yeah, well I kinda figure I get what I pay for.... I've been to the regular Doc, he won't make me a referral to see a urologist, but he did get my hormone levels checked and they came back fine.... Stem Cell therapy is a pretty much guaranteed fix, yeah it's expensive, but it'll fix the problem without me having to keep running on this hamster wheel.... I'm tired of running on the wheel. And even if I do get my penis working again, if I have to keep running on this wheel to keep it that way, I didn't really solve anything at all. At least that's how I feel about it.

I will try kegel exercises and jelqing, never heard of this stuff before you mentioned it here.... I'm also thinking on getting a TLC tugger for foreskin reformation (I think circumcision plays a huge role in the ED epidemic too, I can back this up with lots of sources-- in fact, I'd even go as far as to say circumcision is the most overlooked human rights abuse in western society, because in places like the Middle East, we call them barbarians for mutilating womens' genitals, which is understandable, but we're no better when we mutilate little boys' genitals here in the west).

Again though, SC therapy is expensive, but it works, and I can finally get off the hamster wheel and return to a more normalized and less strict diet and lifestyle once I get it done. So I don't mind saving for it, even if it takes me some time to save up. I'm 100% sold on SC therapy. And it's not embryonic stem cells which are known for causing tumors, we're talking more adult adipose stem cells here. Essentially they can make it as if I never even had ED to begin with. Heck, I may possibly be sporting wood like I did in my 20's again.

I don't wanna sound as if I am totally opposed to living a healthy lifestyle either though, I'm all for keeping my workouts going, keeping a moderately healthy diet (but I'm not cutting out meats, and I do wanna occasionally have a few drinks on the weekends-- my doc said this would be fine, but until I can reboot I kinda have to stay away from alcohol completely). I'm staying away from videos and hard-core porn, I'm hoping I can at least be able to occasionally look at a playboy or something eventually though...

[Snake5422000 Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Snake5422000]

my doc thinks it's psychological-based ED, well, aside from marijuana and excessive masturbation causes.....

There are so many contributing factors to the ED crisis, estrogens in our foods, water, medicines, vaccines, plastics, toothpastes and hygiene supplies, cleaning agents, then we've got circumcision, recreational drugs, pornography, there's an all-out war on masculinity, down to the chemical level. Sadly it seems males are just as guilty of pushing this war on masculinity as women are. Most of them just fail to realize it due to this pervasive myth of male power and female victimology we have in the west..... But I'll try to keep politics out of this from here on out.....

Some of it likely IS now, since you're really concerned, and feeling down about it (which is certainly understandable). Often times the mind can amplify the problem. You just need to get back on track and get those first erections back, and that will help with your confidence, and ease your mind a little, so you're not as stressed (stress can also play a huge role in erectile quality).

[Snake5422000 Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Snake5422000]

Yeah, I'm working at it... Right now I need to do my workout for tonight, I usually do my workout at night because it's the most effective time to do so. At the very least I do 30 mins. treadmill and then some stretches, for my cardio.

Honestly, I think I need to refrain from anything too close to masturbation for at least a little while, try to keep sex off my mind, let my load build up. I think it will help, it definitely started to help before my last relapse (I relapsed on weed and porn, unfortunately). Once I've given this time to heel more, then I can try jelqing and kegel exercises and such. I messed up and masturbated again last night.... But before my relapse I went almost a month w/o porn or masturbation, I can go longer.... For now I'm occupying my mind with other things, namely my art and my video games.

So you want to be vegan? I bet you a vegan told you that it would cure your ed. Well it won't; eating playdough doesn't cure anything. Your first problem is stress. See you really don't have ed; you're too mentally wacked out about things right now. Why not look at the beginners section and do a bit of exercise. The JP90 may just be what you're looking for!

[Snake5422000 Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Snake5422000]

uh no, I do have ED otherwise I wouldn't be here, and I DON'T wanna be a vegan, I explicitly stated that when I stated I'd rather shoot myself in the face than live vegan... I never stopped eating meat, though I did cut back a little on red meat. Everywhere I look it's all either, "take these pills," or "take this suppliment" or "go vegan," I think I'm beginning to calm down a little bit, this Friday will mark the 4 week having stopped weed point, where the weed is finally out of my system. I've been calming down a bit, and focusing on playing video games to keep my mind occupied....

I find it rather insulting though that your telling me, I'm too stupid to know if I have ED or not, I think i notice if my penis isn't working. You told me I didn't have ED... Unless your sitting in a tree with bonoculars outside my bathroom or bedroom window, you couldn't know that LOL.

Do bare in mind even before I had ED, I have been a researcher, I study "conspiracy theories," that may come off as whacked out to some people, because it's not a mainstream point of view. But I enjoy investigating reality, it's one of my hobbies, I actually have fun investigating these things, I've got a curious mind, and at one time disagreeing with slavery or the holocaust, or that the earth was flat, was a non-mainstream point of view, and ppl who disagreed would have been called whacked out. Not saying that your judging me or stereotyping me, maybe your not, who knows, who cares?..... I said my piece and I dropped it, I'd rather not talk about those things here.... I'm just saying, it doesn't make me a nut job, if you think it does, well that's your opinion. If not, well, great.

So if you want to say you have ed than fine; that's really going to help isn't it. Funny how many young guys get on here and say they have ed and yet they still manage to masturbate. Now if you read your post that you made in response to my light hearted attempt to let you know your problem is mainly stress related you might get a bit of understanding of yourself. If you think that what you wrote was not filled with anger and malice, symptoms of stress or just being a jerk, then maybe we're not reading the same thing. Smoking weed and cigarettes didn't wack out your system that much in the years that you have been doing it but you want to believe it did. Oh I forgot; excess masturbation caused you ed as well.What exactly is excessive masturbation. Funny if you jerk off 5 times a day that must be excess masturbation and causes ed. Now if you got laid 5 times a day what would that cause? Well if you can get a name for that let me know. Now that's something I want to try. Hey if I get laid 5 times a day and I end up with ed well what a way to go. Now your doc said you're fine but since you study conspiracy theories he must have been lying to you because it's a conspiracy right? Of course you could sue the guy for giving you a wrong diagnosis but maybe your doc thought it was better to lie to you because you already know what you have and why you have it. Well your attitude and your brain are the problem not your dick. Fix them , you'll be fine. Keep thinking the way you are and you can not be helped nor will you allow yourself to be helped! Have fun!

Look, just because I can sometimes get a factionally erect penis doesn't mean shit..... One guy has cancer, but the next guy has a worse case of cancer, therefor, the first guy must not have cancer at all. This is your logic? Erectile dysfuntion is defined as not being able to get an adequate erection to perform sexual functioning, it says nothing at all about not being able to get it up at all, period. Studies have proven weed causes ED, my experiences have proven this. Mainstream studies, since you are so big on believing anything mainstream. Look up Dr. Shamloul's studies on marijuana and impotence. I couldn't get a ***RELIABLE*** erection because of smoking weed, when I temporarily stopped, my EQ gradually began coming back, then I relapsed, and it got worse again.

Yeah, my first post I was stressed, then I began calming down, then you opened your mouth and started spouting stupid shit. Hell I never insulted anyone here. Yes, btw, excessive masturbation and porn over many years can lead to ED, go to yourbrainonporn.com. Those guys aren't getting ***RELIABLE*** erections. Just because they can get something does not mean it's reliable. There are tons of guys on here already that can get some type of erection, even if it's not reliable. I can prove this with their own posts.

But yeah I guess I'm a paranoid mother fucker because I did more research than your ignorant ass did. I was calming down a lot in my final post before you came on here insulting me and acting stupid. My doc didn't say I was fine, he said my hormone levels checked out fine, he didn't say I didn't have ED dumbass. Your hormone levels can be fine and you can still have ED from other things. But I guess that's above your tiny little brain. Now I'm talking trash back to you because you started talking all the trash first. so don't try to flip this shit... If anyone here knows nothing about ED, you've proven it to be you... All you know about (at best) is your own ED. You've apparently did no research on anything at all, so you have no clue what the fuck you are talking about. Ironically somehow you became a adm.

[Snake5422000 Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Snake5422000]

Hell, you can't even read what's right in your face, I specifically stated "I'd rather shoot myself in the face than go vegan," and what was your reply? "So you wanna go vegan?" Your so fucking lazy you can't even acknowledge what's in your face, much less look anything up at all.

Furthermore, how do you know how often I do or don't have sex? Once again, making assumptions here? I guess it's easier to assume something than to actually take the time to get off your lazy ass and look into something, right?

[CUSP82 Administrator Admin of the Month Dec 2014PEGym Hero Find all posts View Profile Close CUSP82]

First off all I eat vegans; see that's where I get all my fiber. Yes a bit chewy but tasty, somewhat.
Now since you went to the University of the Internet you do have all the answers so basically you're screwed, or rather not screwed. Okay then why are you here? You obviously know everything so what can anyone on here tell you.
Now as for studies I have been reading them before you could wipe your ass so try not to tell me all the things that I don't know because you know them. You read a study and it tells you that weed MAY cause ed. Well in your case it DID cause ed because you know it. Now the odds of it causing ed are not great and I would guess that if it caused it for everyone than half of this forum would have ed, but they don't. Porn CAN cause ed in some people, but not all, except for you because you read the study. Reading and understanding are two different things.
So with no medical cause as determined by you doctor you have gone out and found all the little pieces that make your puzzle whole. Okay believe what you believe but you will end up suffering for it. I came to help because I have read thousands of threads with guys just like you and with your same problems and they have been helped, although they were a bit more polite and open minded about things. You, like many guys, can't believe that your brain is causing your ed; your brain is way too smart for that isn't it. You guys have to find or make up a reason. Okay quit porn, quit weed, quit cigarettes, stop masturbating, and all will be better right? Well I'll be here waiting for you to come back and tell me you're all better!

[Snake5422000 Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Snake5422000]

Dude I may not have been ED that long, but it's fucking maistream scientific research, my doc even told me to stop smoking weed (do you honestly think I wanted to believe smoking weed caused this? I was a heavy stoner for 20 yrs, weed was one of the few things in life I thoroughly enjoyed doing). I'm not saying if you smoke a joint here or there it will make you impotent, I'm saying smoking heavy amounts of it over a long period of time will cause ED. Maybe not in everyone, hell, smoking cigarettes is known to cause lung caner. Does that mean everyone who smokes a pack a day will get lung cancer? No. But does that mean a pack a day smoker who gets lung cancer didn't get it from smoking cigarettes? No. Once again your assuming shit...

And you still haven't rebutted your rediculous claim that anything short of 100% ED is at all ED. So not only are you insulting me, your insulting more than half the people on this ED forum, who are experiencing ED. Because I'm pretty sure, if everyone here was 100% ED they wouldn't use terms like EQ (Erection Quality, in case you don't know what that means).

Even if you wanna argue it's psychological causes, it may be psychological causes but I'm still physically ED, it's not as if I can say "hey, it's all in my head, I just gotta convince myself I'm not ED" and then all of a sudden spring a rock hard erection out of the blue. If it were that easy, more than half these people (including people who watched too much porn) wouldn't have this problem.

Furthermore, I was never "impolite." Not until you got on here insulting me. Yeah I was frustrated with my initial post, i wasn't insulting anyone or attacking anyone. You should know ED can put stress on men, since you
you've "helped so many guys with my problems." Verbalizing my frustrations is not the same thing as attacking anyone or insulting anyone. It's a fucking cry for help. Insulting people is obviously your schtick. Not mine.
