TOPIC: An open question about Erection Quality (EQ)

I wanted to discuss what causes good or bad EQ and ways to improve it. In the past few years, I have noticed that my EQ has decreased. I know it is age related, but I believe my \"lower\" EQ may have been largely effected by elist silicone implant and its Removal.

I do not have any problems if I have a beautiful woman with me, but alone it seems difficult to get a full Erection. I am thinking it is psychological but I also believe it to be physical.

So:
1. What do you think effects EQ in a positive way and in a negative way?
2. What can one do to improve EQ?
3. How do you measure your EQ?
4. Do you think \"ANY\" PE has effected your EQ and in what way?

I hope this can be an open and educational discussion.

Actually the specific foods I eat contain natural aromatase inhibitors. I don\'t take herbal AI\'s. If I wanted to take a supplement to inhibit estrogen, I would take Anastrozole. My endocrinologist said that my T increase was a very appreciable jump in not just total T but especially in free (not bound) T as well. I don\'t need anyone\'s input... I feel fu*K*ng great. It has obviously made a huge difference to me. Everyone has a different level of T \"comfort\". Some men feel fine at 400ng/dl and some men need 800+ng/dl to feel good. Plus, if you\'re going to have blood work done, might as well have all your hormone levels checked. What I\'m doing is healthy and is working for me. YMMV

Thats all that matters.

I do agree with some of M7x6 posts. No matter what, bio identical therapy will never be able to accurately reproduce your bodies natural rythm of testosterone production and hence Estrogen and DHT production. So it will never be the same.
I do disagree with taking herbal anti aromatase. Whats the point of taking them?? if you are gonna fuck with your natural cycle might as well do it in a way that has been medically studied. atleast with medicinal anti aromatase like adex and aromasin, we know exactly how much estrogen we are \"killing\" I also diasgree that a jump from 650 to 800 is a significant improvement in test. TBH, if you go for 10 different days every morning for a testosterone bloood test you test will range from 400 to 900, all depending on what you ate and did the night before or the day before. I have seen multiple total test bloods on people and know this fro a fact.
My end point is this, if you are not too old, you can easily improve your testosterone levels (slightly) but more important your Testosteorone sensitivity by employing a vigorous workout program and a diet with healthy fats. Try to get to sub 10 body fat. I know its ahrder when you get older, but its doable. when there is a will(y) there is a way. If that doesnt work then only i would consider TRT.

Yes gentlemen it is all due to androgen deficiency/imbalance. Testosterone/DHEA/Progesterone/DHT plays a vital role in both libido and EQ. Too much estrogen or dihydrotestosterone (imbalance) and your T levels take a hit. As bananas stated, reduce abdominal fat to help curb the conversion by aromatase to estrogen, eat healthy, get at least 7 hours of quality sleep, do cardiovascular activities, take natural aromatase inhibitors, have morning sex, consume enough zinc, massage testicles, wear a zinger, take herbs known to boost T, etc. I have naturally raised my T levels from 640 to over 800 and my EQ is as good as when I was 15. I\'m 39 this year and can bang my 26 year old wife till she can\'t take it anymore. I\'m also putting on lean muscle and my weight is going up in the gym. A great exercise for EQ is squats followed by crunches. I\'ve shared my routine in the past but I imagine most would rather just shoot exogenous T than do the work themselves. The benefits of having your testis produce your T are SO much greater than bio-identical hormone therapy (TRT). My scrotum is much fuller and testicle sensation is improved. My nuts have literally doubled in volume. I have experienced minor acne and some occasional aggressiveness. I don\'t really give a shit. My body apparently likes T and I can keep with any 18 year old out there.
EQ can be self assessed or measured by a Urologist (can measure the internal pressure of the corpora cavernosa and also check for venous leakage). Only so much one can do once one reaches middle age. However, I am living proof that the above works really well; at least in my case it did. If I were to take a Cialis, I could satisfy an entire cheerleader team. Mmmmm. That sounds yummy. Sorry. Blame it on my T levels.

I think that porn worsen the problem. It used to be that you would download a few photos, flip through a magazine, or rent a video, and that was the end of it. Now, porn is accessible any second of the day, customized to just about any preference or whim. It would be fine it were just used as a sex-aid, but it seems to be getting better at approximating (or altering?) our desires.

My EQ is better when I am alone and worse when I am with a woman who I have had sex with a number of times. I seriously consider limiting my personal internet use to a smartphone (less vivid) or installing a net nanny for this reason.

I\'m in my early forties and I noticed my Erection quality starting to deteriorate''somewhat about 5 years ago.'After I had my I had my implant removed (3 years ago), I had trouble getting a decent Erection when 'masturbating. When I was with a girl, I was ok though.The first time I ever took Cialis was last August...I got it in Mexico when I went for my first round with Dr. C. Boy, 'was my Erection hard. Since then, I take Cialis whenever I want to really rock my girlfriend\'s world. The other times I am still able to get hard but it\'s not as predictable I also don\'t experience \'morning wood\' as much as I did when I was younger.I still get it, but it\'s not as frequent, 'hard and long lasting as before.' ''

I have to agree with, bananas.

I noticed a difference after 6 months, stopped Muay Thai.....was training about 5 x 2 hours a week + cycling about 100 miles in a week, commuting.

I think, your body fat has a lot to do with EQ. As you may or may not know, adipose tissue contain aromatase enzyme. This enzyme converts testosterone to estrogen. So as you age and your body fat goes up, your estrogen goes up a bit too. This estrogen will work on your Hypothalmus and reduce GNrh, which reduces LH and FSH which reduces testosterone further. So EQ goes down. Just my hypothesis. I would get hard as a rock when I was around 7% and now at 15-16% I have similar problems like you mentioned. I am trying to go back to ebing really lean and see if ti comes back.Its a delicately balanced system. NExt time you put that spoon of ice cream in your mouth, Think about your schlong ;-P

Amen brother!
