Young And ED....

Hello,

I am a struggling 27 year old with what I think to be ED. I went to my Dr. last year because I was having trouble keeping an erection with my girlfriend. (I had OCD involving a fear of germs really bad, still today but much better). The Dr. assumed it was caused from OCD anxiety. i left with a script for Cialis. Well, when she found out I went to the Dr.,she dumped me. Nice huh? A lot of it is nerves because I am ALWAYS afraid that when I am with a girl, I am going to either not get an erection or it won't last. I decided to test the Cialis on my own before another embarrassment. It isn't working I even have trouble keeping one fully erect when I masterbate. It will drop pretty fast when I stop. I've tried stopping for weeks at a time hoping that will help. Not really. Something is going wrong down there and its really starting to get to the point where I don't know what to do.

The inevitable happened again. A girl and I from work kind of began "seeing" each other last week. Of course, my nerves got to me. I kept thinking "No, no, no" don't let this happen again. We started to fool around and my penis literally felt paralyzed. Like it wasn't even there! Of course, she insisted that she "Didn't turn me on," which is NOT the case at all. And yes I am straight as an arrow and I am afraid if I open up to her or others, I will be the laughing stock! I have read some things online about nervousness and erections. Now I am afraid to even hang out with her because I don't want it to happen again! It seriously feels like my penis isn't working. I used to get the typical "morning erection" but the more I think about it, it happens less frequently.

Now I need to break the news to her that I have issues downstairs, but at the same time, I am way too embarrassed! Any thoughts would be awesome! This is horrible!

First of all you need to go and see a Doc. Perhaps a new Doc who is more understanding about your issue of not able to get an erection.

What amt of Cialis did your Doc R/x? If it was 20 mg then I would try a different ED drug. I found that Cialis did not work for me. I use Levitra 20 mg taken 1 hour before you need an erection.

When it comes to telling this gal at work I do not know what to say. She may be understanding and not tell others at work. Then again she may not be understanding and she may tell others at work. You will have to deciide what to do. God Bless you in your search for a solution.
