unique situation

Hi there,

I want to preface this with the fact that I would sometimes beat off 6 or 7 times per day...no porn, just mental imagery. Cut to present. I had a very serious car accident 4 years ago. I was in a coma for 2 days, had a severe concussion, nerve damage in my neck and right leg, and needed the front and back of my head stitched up.

Ever since the accident, my libido has taken a bit of a dive. My only explanation is that something was jarred and my brain just isn't the same anymore. Instead of beating off 5+ times a day, it's more like once every couple of days...sometimes two or 3 times per day with varying results. I can still ejaculate fairly easily but I feel like my erection could be a little more 'solid' shall we say. I've talked to my doctor and he thinks that Cialis might be a good fit. Has anyone every tried it? What exactly does it do for an erection? Is this the be-all-and-end-all that I seen described in some places?

Thanks in advance..

Hi duder78,

I'm sorry to hear about the car accident - it sounds rather horrific.

I don't know what it feels like to take Cialis (I'm female), but the effects may differ for different men. You could always give it a try if you are curious and see if you find it helpful.

A couple of other things that may help are improving your diet (maybe with additional vitamin/mineral supplements) and regular exercise.

Thanks for the reply.

That's some good advice for sure. I'm physically active although it's a bit painful at times but I can deal with it. I think I'll ask the doctor for a prescription to try it out and see if it works for me. I've heard that if you can't ejaculate it isn't a viable option so in my case it may work seeing as I can still do that efficiently.

I'm not sure what kind of doctor would encourage use of Cialis for the sake of masturbation. Besides, masturbating 2-4 times a week is a perfectly healthy level of mastubation; it's not a medical problem. If you're concerned about your libido (I wouldn't be, based on the extent to which you masturbate), you could try increasing zinc consumption (eat lots of pumpkin seeds). With regard to how hard your erections are, try a cock ring (this may worsen the problem over time, though, if you use one that is too tight). It would be hard to say more without taking into account your age and medical history. Speak to a competent physician with regard to this, but try cock rings first.

Hmm a cock ring....I could roll with that. BTW I'm 33 and had the accident 4 years ago. When I said 'varying results' that should read 'I'm not really straight-up erect all of time.' It''s a little mushy especially if I try to beat off 2 or 3 times per day. I wasn't like that before the accident. I blow, and be ready to go again 10 minutes later. Now I have to wait hours, sometimes days.

I know it may seem that i'm a chronic masturbator, well yeah, I guess I AM a chronic masturbator but I have my reasons. My ex went to university far away so it was mental imagery and my right hand most nights. When Skype came along that made for some 'interesting conversations' as well. Anyways...the mushy part is bumming me out. I'll try to cock ring but if Cialis is a viable option i'd be willing to try that as well. Thanks for the input.
