Best drugs for maintaining erections?

[davebowman]

It's probably just a combination of increasing age and masturbating WAY too much - but these days I find I can no longer maintain a rigid boner the way I could when I was in my 20's. I've tried Sildnafil(aka Viagra) and Tadafil, and they both help, but neither of them are miracle workers. I remember when Viagra first came out, there were all these stories of people taking it and having rock hard erections that wouldn't go down all weekend. Do such things legally exist, or was that just urban fairytales. Anyone have any recommendations (other than stop jacking off to so much porn - I'm hoping to increase the amount I can watch per day! )

[brian6902]

My only recommendation is the one you didn't want to hear lol (stop watching so much porn).

Excessive jacking off can reduce sensitivity, making it more difficult to stay hard. My understanding of drugs like Viagra is that they increase blood flow, which helps if you didn't have great blood flow to begin with. But if you've been jacking off with a death grip, your loss of sensitivity isn't due to lack of blood flow, so drugs like Viagra won't even help that much.

Well, I try not to use a 'death grip'

My main issue is I have such a huge backlog of purchased but unwatched scenes, I feel like I need to just put aside a weekend (or an entire week), lock myself in, arm up with supplies of lube and tissue paper, and get to work! God knows how I am ever gonna catch up otherwise, but I'm not sure I'm physically capable of lasting that long, and it's no fun beating at a dead piece of meat after a couple of hours and you can't cum any more.

I guess it's the old 'eyes bigger than your belly' problem, when you order too much good looking food and can't eat it all. I have a huge mental desire to watch all this stuff - it's just more than I can consume.

Well stop watching porn for some days can help you but can be many reasons.. maybe stress or bad sleep for a while? sedentary lifestyle or high weight?

Things like a good diet and do workouts helps.

About have a lot of scenes unwatched in your library: Surely a lot of us are in the same situation.

Don't try to cover too much in short time, its fine if you takes a whole one day per week or each 2 weeks and spend it in watch porn and review porn stuff, i do myself this.

I dont know how many unwatched scenes do you have but you can try to watch 20-30 mins per day of a scene or porn movie (is not necessary watch the whole scene in one shoot), little by little you would watching your library and you cover your porn needs of the day. Also you can try to consum other kind of porn to have variety

Sex is in the head.

if you are crazy of a girl your performance will encrease.

Porn doesn't help today because it propose shitty and mechanical content, no fantasy.

What can help is combination products of ginseng, guarana, zinc, ...

Plus good sleeping, eating, sport...

But nothing will replace what's in your head, reduce porn is an idea...

[Jocke]

It is a bit like asking "how can I eat more, I have a fridge full of fantastic food but it doesn't taste well after having had several meals in a row."

Abstinence is great! Staying away doubles the pleasure. You cannot be pleased all the time by the same thing. You need to find other interests so that when you come to think of sex it's been a long time since the last time.

You have to recalibrate your brain. There are more porn produced each day than you can consume in a year. There is no way to catch up. Think about the porn you are watching not the one you are not watching. This is a mental problem concerning everything in a life of abundance. Worst is if you are having sex with a woman but think about the women you are not having sex with.

I was eating too much because I couldn't think of leaving food on the plate or not take extra when offered. I had to think about the pleasure of being slim instead and after some time I felt pleased by hunger. This can go too far too. Anorexics feel pleasure from hunger as it indicates that they are losing weight. Or so I have been told.

Everything with moderation!

[xxxVIPERxxx]

Healthy lifestyle, continuous exercise and a rigorous working out regime to get stronger, bigger overall body muscles.
Good rest, enough sleep, avoid drinking too much alcohol, no recreational drugs.

Watching extreme porn before and during (where possible) your need to maintain an erection.

Those special blue pills (Viagra) also works in tandem with the above, but do not over-use it.

[squirtjunkie]

its easyer to stay errected than get errected if you arent in the mood at all...
Try the " death grip" when you are close to orgasm , pain will stop the good feeling....
Then jerk him up again....
Did this as a very young man, mostly cause not willing to be ready while watching porn....
Exercice while watching porn, and have a try when you are able to with your gf....

Next level is stoping the cum-pop after first drop is ejakulated, thats difficult, but a matter of will.Sometimes i want the long shot now, not in drops for several times.Sometimes girl wants this....

Try it hard, and you ll learn!!!!
Girls will love that....

[davebowman]

Actually, I might have been too hasty in dismissing Tadalafil, as I tried it again at a higher dose (20 mg), and the results were better. Watched an hour long scene, came at the end, had a break for a cup of tea for 20 minutes, then successfully got through another hour long scene. Some pretty impressive boners over the next couple of days, if I say so myself. Just have to be careful not to take it too often at that dosage, or it can have negative health side effects.

OP

Try eating 8 or more whole eggs, each day for 30 days.

[magizi87]

Forgot to mention.

Go to bed, every day, at the same time, preferably at 9 pm or earlier. EVERY DAY.
(Which includes but is not limited to Fridays and Saturdays)

This is super important to rebuild homeostasis.

Think of hormonal equilibrium.

Also, cut down/eliminate caffeine.

Are you sure this is true? I take many caffeine every day and my libido and also the testosterone levels are insanely high

I cant say about the libido but it definetely afftect your sperm. I beleive it is more about the quantity of caffeine that you take. I don't think keeping it low should really have a big impact.

[davebowman]

You can probably find anything on the internet if you look long enough (true or false), but the first few articles I found didn't make it seem like much of an issue:

https://www.verywellhealth.com/caffeine-and-erectile-dysfunction-5199882
https://www.livestrong.com/article/28032-can-caffeine-cause-erectile-dysfunction/

I'm also a big coffee drinker, and my hunch is your body generally adaps to your consumption level over time. I can drink cups of the stuff and not get the jitters, or other common side effects.

People forget to mention this but weightlifting helps maintain testosterone and circulation.

this is at the same true and untrue. I am crossfit athele and trainer, so a fitness method strongly based on weightlifting, and on my personal experience, when I was really "into it" a few years ago with small competitions an stuffs, honnestly I had endured some hard times on boner considerations... I even lost lost a GF because of too much implication into thi! (yes, and it's a new stud who says you this... )...

Now, I am working out maybe 2-3 times a week, with high intesity and weights but that's all, I have to keep energy for shootings. oth the amount of workouts I was doing a few years ago, I guess it would have been impossible to do this job right now.

So, as for everything in life, I suppose it should be done with moderation but it surely helps! Olympic moves are the best functnioal movements and probably "testo bringers" for the body, for sure.

Also, avoid over-wanking too much every day. It desensitizes your penis, and you find it harder to maintain erections for long.

[justinwarren41]

Interesting comments but often is over-consumption. I nice break maybe hard to do but it is worth it, resets the brain and how the dopamine in your brain. I have an insatiable appetite for porn so this is helpful whether it because I'm too busy or purposely seek out a break. It is like going no carb or no sugar for a month and then an apple tastes like decadent cinnamon roll. If I do have a long session I try to just maintain a semi but just stroking, seems to avoid any erection issues (no death grip)

And yes DaveBowman, I have too much porn than I have time to watch so I just have to choose my absolute faves but it actually is overwhelming. I check the new updates everyday and just add to my wishlist. I'll probably watch the XMas sometime in March haha

If these things don't work, could be physiological so focus on exercise, weightloss, strength training or medicinal help. Great topic, Appreciate what you all have shared. The porn on this site is too good sometimes...

Surely would badly constipate you.

If you're not willing to cut down on porn (I mean, you're posting this on a porn forum, so...) :

- Keep an active lifestyle and if you're overweight, lose some kgs. Erection is tighty linked to testosterone levels and being overweight is one of the major killers of it.

- Apart from psychological issues (many EDs come from that, so if you think this could be the case, go see a professional), most ED problems come from less than effective bloodflow. So everything that will improve your bloodflow will probably have a noticeable effect. After all, that's exactly what viagra and cialis does. If you're between 20 and 40yo, you should strive for a 50-70 resting BPM when you wake up. If it's higher, that's proof that your heart is not pumping as well as it should, so --> cardio time.

- Weightlifting boosts testosterone and keeps your body active. Do it and add some cardio to the mix, or sign up for a martial arts class 2x/week and supplement with cardio.

- Eat a well rounded diet. 1.5-2 grams of protein per kg. Ditch the junk food and drink a lot of water (1.5/2L a day minimum)

- SLEEP : this is perhaps the most important. 7-8hrs a night. Non negociable. Sleep affects testosterone tremendously, so there you go.

- Cut down on alcohol (dont know your age, but it's harder to keep it hard while intoxicated passed 30yo). Obviously, cut down weed too. One blunt from time to time is fine, but if you're smoking every day, no wonder you have trouble getting it up.

- Avoid SSRIS and that type of medication. Drives your test and erections to the ground.

- Supplements that have been proven to be effective (mostly because they can help boost T-levels, though nowhere near a miracle solution) : Vitamin D, ashwaganda, zinc, omega3, Arginine/Citrulline. Probably others too, but I'm not a specialist

- If all of this does not work: ask your MD for a testosterone checkup (total test + free test). If you're below 300ng/dl, that could very well be your answer.

- Crutch solution: ask your MD for a cialis prescription. 20mg tablets if possible. It's not supposed to be a permanent solution, and you should go through all the above list before, but it works, so might as well use it. Since you're not working in the adult industry, caverject and products alike are not recommended.

- ANd yeah, you should definetly detox from porn, but since it's the less likely advice you'll follow, I put it last.

[van.herblay]

I should add you can microdose cialis without much risk by taking a 5mg tablet every morning. Really effective but it will cost you ~100€ a month

[xxxVIPERxxx]

I still maintain by my earlier post that the best methods for maintaining erections is non-drug related....

[davebowman]

- Avoid SSRIS and that type of medication. Drives your test and erections to the ground.

Amen to that. The worst mistake I made in my life was to go on antidepressants about 15 years ago. I only did it for a few weeks, but it played hell with my erections/ability to cum, and I don't think I've ever been quite the same again. Those things should come with big neon flashing warning signs for men, but I was never warned by my doctor.

[justinwarren41]

^^Thanks for the tip, never used SSRIS but was not aware of the severe side effects

Trying to avoid getting too far away from original question posted here, is there another forum page/topic dedicated to how users manage their porn usage meaning how to avoid it becoming a vice, compulsion, addiction? I've listened to some interesting information from research regarding addiction and how to reset the brain and manage potentially addictive behavior or substances that doesn't require complete abstinence like a heroin addict which is the typical dogma to follow in any 12 step program (not going to completely stop watching porn sorry not gonna happen) but a strategy to manage consumption where it isn't an overwhelming compulsion and still keep it enjoyable. Things like excessive gaming, overeating, phone/internet addiction etc can be handled similiary without having to give it up completely.

[vvvv84335]

Not to be a buzz killer, but I think this is the kind of thing you should discuss with a doctor, not on a porn forum. Otherwise, I'd check out something like this https://www.webmd.com/erectile-dysfunct ... on-11-tips

Just my two cents

[robin_reid]

Works fine to take an aspirin before sex because it thins your blood. I learned it many years ago from another actor.
