Still can't get my sex drive going

67% Normal
16 Comments

I've tried many different things now, eating healthier, excersise, viagra, and the latest thing I've tried in the past couple weeks, horny goat weed (because I read a couple of weeks ago that it's supposed to really boost sex drive), and the best I can still do is get a weak erection about 5 - 10% of the time which literally lasts about 10 - 15 seconds. Ejaculation hasn't happened in more than like close to a year i think, it's been a long time. I'm still thinking that it's a combo of my age (almost 45), the various health issues I have, and the medications I take (blood pressure pills (Lisinopril), and methadone (I go to clinic)). But I've kept trying new things to help and the best that they've been able to help was giving me a weak turned on feeling for a couple of minutes, weak erections that last 10 seconds, and that only happen about 5 - 10% of the time that I'm trying to get myself turned on. When I'm not trying to, I never get them. Coming or even coming close to coming hasn't happened in a really very long time. Any further ideas or advice?

      I've been to my doctor about this, they're not being able to do much about the issue either. I'm coming on here because I'm not comfortable going to people I know in person about this, outside a doctor or whatever. On here, I'm not going to ever see any of you in person, so I'm not as worried about judgement from people I'll never know. Besides, this is a site where alot of people seem to share shit like this, there's alot of sex questions from IIN ops. But if you're not wanting to talk about it with me, that's fine, I don't care, you're not the only one on here.

    People aren’t going to like this answer but if you have exhausted all other options maybe the only thing you can do now is try to accept it?

    Maybe it will come back one day but if your body can’t do it right now stop trying to force it.

      I've had somewhat of a drive again now for a while, only somewhat though. But still, I think it's because I've been excersising more for a couple of months. My drive is still nowhere as strong as it was at 20 something, but I've had a weak version of it back.

      I guess I'll have to. I've already accepted it for periods of time in the past year. But then I start trying again to get it back, the latest being that I tried horny goat weed because I read that it works. But not with me. So I'll go back to accepting it again I guess

    Tried smoking some good weed? Although that may raise your blood pressure a little, but that might be a good thing.

    I hear oysters are a good aphrodisiac.

    Get lots of sun.

    An if all else fails grab a paddlepop stick and some rubber bands.

      I do appreciate the pointers that you just gave me. Unfortunately, they're things I've already tried, such as the oyster thing, I bought two cans of them one day and had them for dinner, they did nothing. I've not felt a difference on days I've been out in the sun either. I really didn't like weed, it gave me hypochondriac paranoia, I kept thinking I was about to get a heart attack or stroke. As for your paddlepop stick rubber band suggestion, 😶

        With the weed you should take very small amounts and keep smoking everyday. After a few days the anxiety or paranoia will disappear and you will be left with the calm, slightly tired, munchies and horny feeling.

        Best thing to do if you start getting paranoid after smoking weed is to get up and do something, do something like gardening. I know the last thing you want to do is go outside when you feel like this, but trust me it works!

          I did start feeling a little bit of a drive again about a month ago, or little longer than that, but about the last 4 or 5 times I tried watching porn to get off, I couldn't again. I've also tried masterbating to try to relieve daily stress rather than sexual stress. But since I've had trouble getting off again, I'll have to keep trying nonsexual stress relievers. This has happened several times now, where I'll feel a little bit of a drive come back, but then it disappears again

      Yes, I've tried. My doctor isn't even sure what else to do right now. I'm asking about it on this site mainly because I can get opinions from numerous different people who've most likely been around, and who've known many different people who may or may not have had similar issues. And I'm getting way more than just one or two opinions. And I'm not making it awkward by asking people I know in my life who I'd be seeing in person again

        Hey do what you must. I'm literally laying on my couch eating skittles and listening to Rogan. That was just my thought.

          And I appreciate it. I do like Skittles 😋. Ditto Rogan, remember when he challenged Wesley Snipes to a cage fight and then Snipes backed out?
