I'm a 48 year old male with sjogren's...I am unable to have an erection without pain. I am unable to have intercourse. Are there any males that are having the same problem with sjogren's?
View 5 RepliesI came across this syndrome when searching the Internet about extreme pain I have when I take the first bite EVERY time I eat and sometimes drink. That this could be a symptom of this syndrome but I don't know. I do have some of the other symptoms, i.e. neuropathy, blurry vision, muscle pain, fatigue but these can also be associated with Type 1 Diabetes which I have. Also, came across parotid/salivary glands are affected which also can cause the jaw to ear pain I'm having. Has anyone heard that the Coxsackie virus can have anything to do with it? How do you know for sure if it is Sjogren's and what type of doctor do you see about it - a primary?

I wa with my gf for the first time last night. I'm 27 and I have been smoking weed for about 11 years (i quit as a new year resolution, 8 months ago) and I couldn't keep an erection and I am now incredibly worried that this problem might be permanent. I feel bad for my gf, because she was turning me on in a big way but i just couldn't stay erec. What can I do?
View 1 RepliesI'm a 26 yo man. I'm eating healthy and i am very sporty.
The problem is that when i am with a girl, something is just blocking me to have an erection. I try, she tries, we tries. Nothing to do. And when i have a (semi-erection i am usually ejaculating after not even 5 seconds (really!).
When i'm masturbating I don't have any issues. I can have a good erection and it can last a while. Sometimes I masturbate 2-3 times a week, sometimes not for 2 weeks.
I discovered this problem with my first girlfriend when I was 20. It took us 4 months to have fairly good sex.
We thought it was because o the stress I had at that time as a student. But now I m travelling and have no stress at all. Still, not possible to have sex.
When i was younger i thought sex was like bicycling. You just have to train it to become better. But now, every time I "fail" in bed feels like I have to start to climb a mountain from the bottom again, and I never really get near to the top of it.
I tried a lot of stuff. Special "aphrodisiac" food, taking baths to relax, special gels, vitamins, even ayahuaska in Peru (drug to purify body and mind in the inca culture), talking to people, Talking to the girl about it before the sex or just the opposite (don't talk about it and try not to think about it), but nothing works.
Because i don't have any issues alone, it must really be something in my head.
I m sure you can understand the frustrations I have ! I love girls ! I never tried to have sex with a man, but I don't really want to. I don't see this as a solution.
There where "normal" man can have sex without any problem, i can't. My friends told me sometime they just need a little "tickle" and they have and erection, as for me it will take ages or it will never come.
when i have think sexual think or watching porn movie ,precum will come out .but i aslo mastrbution for last 1 year.but now problem is that it does not hard as 2 week before does erection for less 1 min and becomes soft. s it normal or what i can for this problem
View 1 RepliesWhat is the cure and cause of SEMI erectile problems? I stressed on SEMI because that is exactly my problem. I get a full erection when I masturbate and I do that daily; but during sex I don't get hard enough to enter. Is masturbation the problem, if yes then how can it be cured?
View 1 Replies30 years old, somewhat overweight but not in terrible shape, occasional drinker but not more than that, busy lifestyle (work a desk job and moderate exercise). No other biological issues other than that I suspect my father had/has been treated for low testosterone at some point. I sometimes feel like my sex drive mentally isn't what it should be as compared to other men, but I do think about it albeit with some apprehension at this point. I don't struggle with feeling attraction to women at all. I take a daily vitamin so I should be fairly well covered there.
My problems? My erections come slower than molasses and when they do come, I struggle to maintain them and they usually fade away within a couple of minutes, even while actively engaged in sexual relations. It is not for lack of confidence as I have been told that I am quite good in my bits and spurts, but I have never gotten off during sex despite desperately wanting to. I am capable of getting very hard but it rarely lasts long enough to have any kind of meaningful sex.
I also struggle with masturbation. I can make myself get hard by thinking about it, playing with myself, but the same problems occur - I can't get myself completely lost in it and my erection goes from very strong to non-existent in the span of a couple of minutes. There is one exception, however (and this isn't much fun to admit, but I figure it's the only way I can get help for my condition) - if I lie on the floor and rub myself against it as a form of masturbation, I can get quite hard and ejaculate just fine within a couple of minutes.
I'd like to have a normal and active sex life, because this has destroyed or at least undermined every relationship I have ever been in since I was a teenager (this has gone on since I was 1. I don't think there is anything drastically wrong with me physically since I still feel a semblance of sex drive and can ejaculate, but the blood flow and maybe the "immersion" in the moment just doesn't seem to be there.
I (FINALLY!) have an appointment with an urologist coming up in a couple of weeks, but I am in a relationship where I am mentally and physically ready to have sex, and I am dreading the same old of trying to take it to the next level and failing spectacularly. Does anybody have any idea of what might be afflicting me? Is this ED or is it possibly something else? I'm thinking about trying something like yohimbe (very small dose) or gingko as a short-term remedy, will these help me at all?
I am currently 16 years old and I have recently begun to realize some worrying things about my penis. It doesn't have all of the feeling in it now and sometimes when I'm sitting down, it goes numb like when your leg falls asleep. I first tried jacking off in 7th grade(around four years ago) and have been doing it almost daily sometimes more than twice a day up until recently. Now when I jack off I don't need to have a full erection for an orgasm. I can't even get fully erect anymore. It gets about 75% and then stays for like a minute and then when it stops getting attention, it gets soft so quickly. I am very worried because me and my girlfriend tried sex and I couldn't do it because I couldn't stay hard. She got me to the 75% hard like when I jack off and then whenever we thought it was time to penetrate her I went soft almost immediately after she stopped touching it or when I stopped so I couldn't achieve sex. My penis looks healthy and I feel no pain or anything.

View 1 RepliesI am 17 years old, a heterosexual male. I run cross country and track, and ski, paddleboard, mtn bike, and generally get a lot of exercise. My diet isn't outstanding, but it is decent, and I get a decent serving of veggies and meats, as well as breads and fruits and all. I don't smoke marijuana in general, and have drank a few times with friends, responsibly, an all that. I am a good high-achieving student, taking lots of hard classes, but this leads to only 6-7 hours sleep per night and a significant amount of academically created stress.
Masturbation is common for me--I have a pretty strong sex drive. Probably once or twice a day, 10-12 times a week. Pornographic material isn't uncommon for me - maybe twice a week - it is usually imagery or comics (for some reason I prefer that to video). I have been dating a great girl for about seven months, and we haven't had successful sex. She is a bit prudish-she doesn't give oral and reluctantly will give handjobs, but is ok with vaginal sex. I will get erect on and off during foreplay and making out, and will get fully hard just hanging out with her (around in the house making out or grabbing her butt and all) but as we get close to serious sex, my hardon becomes less reliable. Then it gets bad when I try to put on the condom - I lose the boner almost completely, and can't get it back beyond 3/4 mast. She is very tight (basically a virgin) and I won't be able to get in unless fully hard. This seems to happen when I am alone as well. I will practice putting on a condom but will get pretty soft once it goes on. Also masturbating I will be able to get off when only full but not rock hard-not at the level needed for intercourse.
I think is partially stress and anxiety, nerves; I overthink things. I have only tried to go for sex and failed like described above around three months ago. She was understanding, but since then I have avoided sex so that can't happen again. So that was 3 months ago, and I am worried that I won't ever be able to successfully try again because I will always remember my inability to perform and then lock myself in a cycle where I can't get hard because I am scared I can't. It know it is psychological but I can't get over it. Should I go for viagra or something?? She is pretty straight-laced so attempting to drink a beer or two beforehand to "loosen up" isn't really a good idea, and I don't think that's a great idea anyways. PLEASE HELP I AM WORRIED that I will get a chronic anxiety-induced ED through the senior year of high school and college that is terrifying! I get crap from my bros about not banging my girl and it is a serious issue for me and make s a ton of stress for my entire life!

View 1 RepliesI have Primary Sjogren's Syndrome but was born Hypermobile. It was only after my present Rheumatologist diagnosed that I have scoliosis that I started to research. I found the Beighton Scale and the Brighton criteria which I match completely. I explained my research to my consultant and she agrees. However while she and another consultant both agree I do have POTS so far I don't have an appointment to see anyone to help me. I have had ECGS and a bubble ECG but they have been taken while lying down. Now the POTS I really noticed post the birth of my last son 29 years ago is getting much worse, can anyone advise me as it has taken decades to get this far, I don't feel time is on my side
View 4 RepliesI became sexualy active this year in July, i lost my virginity with prostitute in Amsterdam and even then I didn't have full erection. I did masturbating every day, once or two times a day mostly once. Things I have to say that I am heavy cannabis user, particularly this year, I smoked for 9 months everyday approx. 3-5 spliffs of high potency weed. I am smoking since 17 years with some shorter pauses (biggest was 3 months) plus I smoked in intervals started/stopped etc. I didn't use much of alcohol, I am in very good shape, having a lot of strength and energy.
In intercurs with girl, suddenly it goes limp and that is very bad feeling, but I could get erection again but somehow soft, it isn't like I was high and watching some fetish porn. Once I did cum blood in semen and i was really scared what it could be then through reading the net i get calm and stop thinking about it. For 2 last weeks I had really lots of stress on job, in financial stuff, my dad had cancer operation and i was just want smoke weed and forget all that, i smoked a very high doses of buds and thc oil and even that didn't help, but i was used to high doses, so i could normally go to work (tired but i was doing my job good).
All that pass and I was in Germany with no weed and that didn't be a problem, problem was next.
I went to brothel and found nice girl and just wanted to relax and deal a oral sex with girl, she started and I was having an erection then her phone ringed 2 times, she answer it and i went limp. That was the moment i realised I am having a problem with maintaining erection.
From that moment I stopped smoking, cigs and weed, buy some liver detoxification herbs, started exercise, it passed 4 days from Germany and I now that is a little time to see some change.
I have some pain in testicals and some veins in balls that are hard on touch and somehow painful.
So what would you recomend else to do except seeing a doctor what I will do.
Do you think that I maybe did permanent damage?
Having been officially diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome about a year ago, I think back on ALL the diagnoses I have had related to it: "nutcracker esophagus and severe GERD", "esophageal spasms", polyarthritis, fibrotic lymph nodes, fibromyalgia, Prinzmetal angina, benign parotid tumor excision (trabecular adenoma), dry skin, dry mucous membranes, etc. and now know they are all part of the same syndrome, which has been steadily worsening and becoming more malignant (and I am only sixty). There are many other more serious difficulties, but now I'm wondering if I, too, will get non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, since that is what some people progress into. It is NOT that this frightens me at all--but now there is something of which to be aware (and I'm not certain my M.D. knows of this). I also have glaucoma and cataracts--so I really have to protect my eyes (and I have had a vitreous bleed into one of them).
My ophthalmologist (a retinologist) placed upper and lower tear duct plugs in my eyes--which has helped, but I still have to use lubrication. Since I am a writer and use the computer extensively, I find it quite hard on the dry eyes. I am extremely careful to drink lots of water and often mix pure fruit juice with my water to avoid calories (sugar) and to make the water more interesting. This does, however, exacerbate my stress incontinence gained after fracturing my back--for which I stay close to a toilet (but my writing is done at home.)
My fiance penis gets cold, having trouble keeping an erection and trouble urinating.
