I hate to admit this but i think to put it in baseball terms---- I've lost a little off my fastball!! I know, i know, i know its not always the size of the boat but the motion of the ocean that really matters but i am not sure it is the MM or Low T causing this. I have done everything i can, to use baseball metaphosrs: i have gone to my secondary pitches like the slow cure, change up, slider, ect.... and still cannot hit my target/strike zone on a consistent basis. I am always low and outside or high and tight (kind of like my underwear) every time. I have tried everything, from mental relaxation exercises, to male enhancement pills, to viagra, to looking at my 1983 Playboys and now onto seeing a counselor. It this just me or does anybody else find sex overrated and boring and just not interested in it anymore since the MM? I feel so ashamed of myself and alone in this struggle and so terrible bad for my wife who has built up quite the portfolio of sex toys over the last 7 years. :-[ ??? 8) :-[
I feel your pain BD. I haven’t made a home run for some time. Whether this is old age, or the combined effect of the drugs and the alcohol abuse I am not sure. I have heard rumours of a new drug combining the best bits of Valtrex and Viagra called Valtrexia, although that might just be a figment of my imagination....
Exercise helps quite a bit. By doing regular cardio and lifting, you'll probably build your testosterone levels back up. Or you could take T shots. My friend swears by them and he's 67 and getting laid like he's 18.
You guys and your penises! You think about them way too much. There's a lot to be said for sex toys for either sex, I'm told. In fact in some cases women get so used to the multiple orgasm that are really intense that sex with a man is unnecessary. And then there's the fact that some men can only get off with their own hands. It really isn't the hardest thing to stop especially at a certain age. But women have five fantasies and if she finds someone who she trusts and find only lust for, well she likes him too, it is a wonderful experience and flirt and make suggestions and maybe you take that further, or so I've heard.. There's an easy solution given to you. If you're having such a serious problem you really should check out the solution from Scott. I don't much care for my head banging against the headboard either. It gives me vertigo. This was fun. I mean really fun!
I've been married for 41 years. My wife and I still have a fabulous sex life. Yes, I work out 2-4 times per week. Like Scott Tom suggests, exercise helps keep the testosterone going. I have been known to drink too much Vodka sometimes. Those times I am still horny, excited, passionate and very attentive to my wife's needs and interests. However; I do have difficulty climaxing when over indulging in drinking of the vodka. If I am not drinking too much then I have no problems. I do not see a connection with antivirals and a loss of sexual performance. Yes, I have MM, and perhaps I always will But, with Valacyclovir the symptoms are kept in check and MM cannot affect my sex life. Bulldogs- I love your baseball analogy!! I cannot advise or suggest what I think will work for others. I only know what works for me. I am almost 63. I think keeping my body in shape by exercising helps keep me performing. Do I look like Arnold shwartzeneger? No!! Yes, when I am "Santa" I do have to put padding under my suit.
I really think i am just a member of THE LOW T NATION!!! i am going to look into Testosterone shots next week. I am of the mentality of USE IT OR LOOSE IT, but since i am no longer using it maybe i should just say screw it and loose it. i just think 47 is a little young to close up shop if there is anything i can do about it. uggghhh
It’s a messy old business anyway BD, if you can remember that far back. You are probably best out of it at your advanced age. Leave it to the youngsters and those who know what they are doing......
My Grandfather was still getting it up in his nineties. He also was very active. He didn't like sitting around doing nothing. He would grab a shovel or a rake or cut wood, etc.
I have always found that the generAction of which you speak wee much more resilient. There was no laying around watching tv and on computers all day. Most of the day was spent with chores and hard labor. A cabin in the woods, a veggie garden, a fireplace, even fishing and hunting. I guess now we can include sex. Lol
I hope to God men don't close up shop at 47. My husband is getting pretty close and I'd be quite upset.
Best Topic Ever Joe have you thought about taking your lady out for a candle light meal , a little wine , some really sexy smooth music . This might get her motor going to the point that it cranks you up . Of course take a viagra just in case you get to first base . It might help if you take her parking after the sexy smooth music , you know something a little different LOL PS I have been married for 40 years and so far knock on WOOD , no problems I also agree with the others about exercise . Good Luck my friend and I do hope everything comes out ok LOL
Bulldogs, just for clarification, how do you define "sex"...is it an individual or team sport? Unfortunately, my Sex Machine blew a head gasket about 16 years ago, and I've never found a way to repair it.
I found out what has been ailing me and made the adjustment. I have a weird feeling this is going to be the best night of my life tonight.
