Is my ED psychological? Need opinions please.

What if it's biological, btw?

Hey man. Well it's not that I don't want to believe that it's a head problem, it's just that I wanted to rule out any physical anomaly. Then I'd have proof that it's 100% a psychological problem. I do believe the doc's diagnosis as of now, though.

To answer your question, insurance would have paid for it.

So right now I really don't know what I'm going to do. I'll continue dating women and just try having anxiety free sex. Already turned down 2 girls in the last month because of this ED, now no more of this BS.

I'll try some kegel routine or something else. Anyone has a suggestion that doesn't involve jelquing?

The fact of the matter is...
1.) You state you can get decent quality / full erections..
2.) You get morning wood.

Both of these things are showing that from a vascular and (probably) hormonal perspective you are good to go.

So whatever issue is left behind has to be either psychological, or there's something you are leaving out.
Tbh .. It sounds like you have a bunch of anxiety man...

Have someone stand by your bed in the morning BEFORE you wake up. He, or better still she, will tell you that before you opened your eyes you had 100% wood.

Ask mum or dad to do it, sure it'll be fine.

Seriously though, keep us posted on how you progress. I have been suffering very similar symptoms - it's incredibly hard to believe what I am going through is psychological, but the doc seemed to think so.

Hey guys sorry I was really busy lately. I want to thank you all for your help. Went to see the urologist, asked him for a doppler and he flat out refused by saying that my ED was psychological. I told him in detail about my jelquing and stretching exercises in the past, he just told me that the exercices are only harmful if I experienced pain during or after performing them.

Anyways, I begged him for a doppler and he still refused. Kind of disappointing considering I waited months for this appointment, but oh well. I will stop porn and maybe try a kegel routine or something. Any suggestions?

The doc was right to deny the test because based on your description venous leak/insufficiency is unlikely. This said, the doc cannot rule these out completely without doing the Doppler. However the Doppler is only ever useful for those in need of an implant, meaning men with inability to get any kind of erection alone or with ed meds. You may still benefit from knowing that there´s nothing wrong with you, but in that case you must do the test using your own money. Whether or not is worth it, you must decide.

PORN - That's probably the #1 reason for psychological effects that lead to ED. Stop it for 2 weeks and you'll see dramatic improvements. I've gotten to the point that I will stop masturbating and porn every month for about 2 weeks. It helps me keep excitement in bed and a penile ring doesn't hurt either. Buy the metal ones though and avoid the rubber crap.

It really does contribute but the thing is....your libido and sensitivity has to be *somewhat* shot to suffer the ill effects of "Porn-induced ED". At the very least, a diversity or occurrence of imagination decrease.

True, I am anxious. And believe me, I didn't leave out anything-- to you or to the doc.

So are we going to realize it's in your head and then start working from there or what?
