Guys, let's talk ED

[mathguy]

My clients who have ED issues use the pump. Externally and some surgically implanted. And it works for them. However, alot of men with ED issues come to me more for connection and touch. Their endgame is not necessarily having a climax and that is very satisfying to them also.

Yep. I imagine that's very true. I would think a lot of older guys, particularly much older men, would be looking for that female connection but with the sexual intimacy and/or touch. The trouble with many men as they get to a very advanced age is that their declining hormone levels, along with physical ailments, are limiting the ability to have sex but they still desire that intimate touch and connection. This is true even for women after menopause in some cases. Though it's much less pronounced as far as the impact on their psyche b/c women are typically not so wired for physical/sexual touch.

It's an extremely troubling time in an older man's life as he loses the ability to partake in an activity which is so closely tied to and attached to male identity and idea of virility.

My advice, and I would even suggest you ladies speak to your clients about this, would be for any man post age 35, to have their hormone levels checked. Many men will not be on testosterone therapy but they badly need it. At 35 or 40 it's not usually going to be a serious issue, but depending on genetics and certain medicines or illicit drugs (i.e. opiates - which cause T levels to flatline) it will typically be on the decline.

At 50+ though T levels are going to definitely be on serious decline versus an 18-25yr old (depending on genetics, diet, general health). Having low testosterone is absolutely without question the #1 reason for a variety of male issues but most notably the lack of interest AND/OR ability to participate in sex due to inability to get an erection.

Another thing I would advise for older men, or even anyone having issues with ED, is to take a good nitric oxide supplement. Research varies on using NO products but many many many anecdotal reports as well as many smaller studies have shown that it helps to increase overall nitric oxide production. Without the Nitric Oxide pathway you simply cannot get an erection....period. So you want maximum NO production from the endothelial cells in your body.

Best things to suggest to your male clients who may have started to experience, or has had, ED issues:

1. Check Testosterone levels immediately. Get lab work. Ask doc to put on TRT therapy. I recommend cream/gel vs injections or subdermal pellets or sublingual (under tongue).

2. Take a good Nitric Oxide supplement (not to be confused with Nitrous Oxide hehe )

3. Ask urologist or primary doc for an ED med such as: Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, Staxyn. Also, they can get the generics way way cheaper using GoodRx.

4. Stay hydrated, eat a healthy diet, and exercise.

Thx for this hun!

My pleasure babe! It was an interesting story and I just wanted to offer those possibilities as an alternative to what might be happening. I also thought it may help other girls and guys to think about what could be happening (at least as a possibility)
