Better erections: Diet, Abstinence, and Viagra

[Marmalade]

Some good practical tips that any man can incorporate.

I notice from your posts that you are quite into supplements and physical fitness. Do you happen to know of any vitamins that encourage reviews?

Different person, but I powerlift and have been through a ton of different vitamins/pre-workouts/supplements.

End of the day I have settled on, and found the most use out of just a good multivitamins (high Vitamin D content) and Fish Oil. I personally use Adam Now or Opti-men. I feel it's important to point out that none are a substitute for a balanced diet, but are good in addition to.

Good one Marmalade. You'd think after 4 years, fantasticmrfox  of all people would have found such a supplement. So Mrfox how about it!!!

I am in my late sixties. A few weeks ago I decided to eat oily fish at least once a day. Since then I have noticed an increased libido and even without a blue pill I can now get an erection firm enough to penetrate a vagina. It might be just coincidence, but at 40p for a tin of sardines it is a cheap option.

[workingtone]

Stopping alcohol, plus lots of exercise specifically Yoga works miracles on increasing your libido.

I've tried everything Inc most things on this forum and I'm still hit and miss.
Sometimes I can get an incredible errection, other times I can have a delightful women sucking away and it's not happening. No rhyme or reason.

I'm current abstaining for a few weeks, excersising three times per week (hard exercise), I don't really drink, I'm eating plenty of fresh fruit, taking zinc, magnisium, vit c and D supplements and recently I've hugely increased my intake of water as its something I've never done before and definitely dont get enough of.

Over the years I've come to the conclusion that perhaps waaay too much hard porn for 20 years has made me accustomed to the whole thing and its just difficult for me to become aroused.

In the last 6 weeks I've had several punts, some great with really good wood, others not so much. Like I say, no rhyme or reason. Even if I take viagra, cialis... I've taken both together! Makes no difference.
Without it I can be rock hard at the look of a women and happily fuck away. Other times not so much even with it. Makes no sense.
The human body is very strange sometimes.

Well, off and on for years. 5 or 6 years. I've always been the same when it comes to getting wood... Well for 15+ years.
It's why I've kinda concluded that too much extreme porn for too long has messed me up. I don't watch porn anymore.

I suppose I try harder at certain times but I've always excerised and ate well.

I suppose new things I've taken on board of late are vitimens and drinking a proper amount of water.
I rebooted in Jan (no porn, no sex, no masturbation for a couple of months) and things have improved slightly since but still very hit and miss.
It's why I like escorts, they don't judge or care.... My wife on the other hand..

I was just about to post something on l-arginine so you might like to have a look at that earlier in this thread and probably others.

It sounds a bit of a faff but one or two members have had remarkable results. I’ve posted some of the science on it but came across some more studies on it’s effectiveness in cases where viagra on its own doesn’t seem to work. The arginine I think it said opens up the pathway that viagra uses. (It also independently improves the blood flow).

l-Arginine also has good transdermal properties so you can use it as a cream or capsules or just dissolve the loose powdered form in some water, which works out cheap and fairly easy to do. (The regimen seems to be 5 or 6 g a day (not mgs) and then just an hour or so before sex. The evidence suggests it works even better if combined with citrulline (citrulline converts into l-arginine in your body and also produces nitric oxide, as does viagra).

There’s no guarantee with it, same as viagra, but something you might like to look into.

The point I was going to post for those already using the powdered form is this, that the taste is a bit shite but the rotten flavour is miraculously neutralised by a few drops of lemon juice (it’s the citric acid in the lemon juice that does it, so even the bottled stuff is ok).

Enjoy.

Here ya go...

(From Andersson K, PDE5 inhibitors – pharmacology and clinical applications 20 years after sildenafil discovery, British Journal of Pharmacology 2018 Volume 175, Issue 13, free online:
External Link/Members Only)

“...in the absence of stimulation of the NO pathway,
PDE5 inhibition [i.e. produced by viagra etc] is ineffective”

“As the efficacy of PDE5 inhibitors depends on
the integrity of the NO pathway in producing
cGMP, it is evident that patients in whom this
pathway is disturbed or defective will benefit
far less than the general population from
PDE5 inhibitors.”

The usefulness of the above study is that it shows a clear rationale on how l-arginine can work (and it works basically if your arginine is low — if there’s some other problem causing viagra etc to have no effect it might well not help).

It also has nice big colour pictures to show how your cock gets bigger. 

There’s been several studies done with good results but they weren’t perfect (big pharma aren’t going to sponsor research into something that will fuck with their profits). You can find a newish summary here: External Link/Members Only

Ok, so this has arrived. I've got a punt coming up so I'll take it each day as suggested and provide feedback in a couple of weeks

[Silva21]

OMG it takes awful. It tastes like ammonia!

[Marmalade]

OMG it takes awful. It tastes like ammonia!

See my other post. Put a dash of lemon juice in it.

[Silva21]

Will do.

So do you just take it everyday... Perminently or just on the lead until to a punt?

[Marmalade]

...

I’d also suggest you may need to take it daily for a while first. Studies quite 10 or 14 days I think (I quoted them somewhere) but a few days may be enough. After that as and when — assuming you punt etc reasonably regularly.

It opens up the pathways in your body that the bluey uses. For some reason the addition of citrulline (which is in a way more or less the same thing) increases the effectiveness of simple l-arginine.  i.e. citrulline malate or l-citrulline.)

Good luck!

Vitamin D is linked with testosterone and low levels are linked with impotency.

So just take 1000ud a day without fail and that will help.

Vitamin D3 - added the bulkpowders 5000ui to my mutivitamins and after a couple of weeks, I'm definitely 'fuller' when hard.

I had no problem getting it up before, just a DE issue. The vitD3 just makes a positive difference.

Myself have been finding difficult to get a full erection.So,went out the other day got some viagra connect,and on Monday took one tablet,about 40 mins before meeting a escort.
Anyway, done the trick got a decent bj,the little fella was nice and stiff! More,sucking later and I blew in her mouth.
Not cheap but done the business.

[Absolutman]

Went to  a Chinese pharmacy and was offered ‘Chinese viagra’, red and black capsule to provide a one off solution. It worked. Also offered a set of plastic sachets with a brown powder which would supposedly cure ED if taken twice a day for a week. To be taken dissolved in hot water. Looks a but like coffee and I add some Nescafé to improve the taste. Have not seen any effect. Anyone else have experience of either of these solutions?

[Colston36]

For what it is worth, the things that have helped me keep going at 83 are:

I walk briskly for 3 to 6 hours a week. Don't drive or take transport if I can walk.

Also have a set of 7 isometric/isotonic exercises I do twice a week. 20 of each  - press-ups, crunches etc.

I take Cialis. I don't actually think it does more than excite me when I see a woman.

I wish I could say all this has brought back the fountain of youth, but the most it has done is allow me three goes a week.

There is absolutely no scientifically acceptable proof - i.e. double blind tests - that herbs etc like Arginine etc. work.

[tommyw66]

No porn isn't a problem.

But the issue I have with no wanking and only cumming when punting/normal sex is if I've not wanked/cummed in a week, I literally blow so quickly during the punt.

I've also found that if I've gone too long without a wank before a punt, I not only cum too quickly I don't get a proper orgasm

[Silva21]

So took this everyday for around three weeks.
Had three punts in that time and I can honestly say that it didn't make the slightest difference.

[BarryProudfoot]

Some good practical tips that any man can incorporate. I would definitely advocate good sleep, wanking ban, and intensive training with weights. Don't overdo the training but keep it short sharp intense and have rest days. But once all conditions are in place not only do you feel better I noticed there are benefits down below. Erections are better, rapid and strong. I had noticed even after a week of no wanking and training, I'm getting morning wood like a teenager. Even unwanted erections stirring when  I dont want this to happen. Upshot is there is not one switch but its a seriesbit of things. I'd recommend this as its quick, cheap, natural and hassle free

Good info. How old are you though? And more importantly, how much can you bench

[Kelgon85]

I've found general hornyness results in the better erections. The hornier, the more "pronounced".

I'm doing OK with my punting but have been wondering about trying testosterone gell sachets to see if it results in an ability to punt more frequently and a stiffer soldier.
At the moment if I do it too often it results in mixed results.

Anyone tried them?

You shouldn’t be taking Testogel unless properly prescribed by an Andrologist or Endocrinologist and had your testosterone levels (serum, free calculated), free androgen index levels and PSA tested.  There are are also other factors to consider including side effects.  Additionally the only way you may/will see a change is if it is applied daily over a period of time.

Best to speak with your GP if you have a concern over testosterone levels and progress it from there.

Thanks to whoever mentioned lions mane! I don’t know if it’s just coincidence but I started taking it about a month ago and have a definitely improved libido. Easier to get hard and able to more often. I still use connect for a punt as lions mane is no substitute for that but if I just fancy a quick one at home it is much easier now!

Just did some digging and this looks like a decent brand.  The Swanson brand has been rubbished on a couple of sites, including more than one thread on Reddit (not that I take Reddit as being credible).

Will try some out.  Cheers for the info.

Try eating pommegranate seeds. Available fresh from Tesco's. A fellow punter suggested I try them. I am over 70 and get an early morning hard on after eating them for a few days. Early morning hard ons have not happened for me for over 15 years. These plus half a 50mg Viagra always works. Problem for me with viagra is not getting  hard; it's being able to cum.

[sacredrealm]

This had been an issue for me to address as well. From not having real sex experience the "normal" way apart from a pretty much failed attempt in this sense, (which I put down at the time to partly to her having just expressed she wasn't that into me in the moment), I recently decided to get some practice and fun with escorts or give it a try. The first one although not up for kissing (people often say its limited with Romanians) seemed to at least put the effort in enough for me to have enjoyed it, and I did get hard to some degree during covered blowjob, but when it came to sex it still just wasn't really working right. It wasn't strong enough to do much and I didn't feel much. She changed from doggy onto her back for this reason. I "finished" accidently soon after though without feeling anything great really in the moment.

I realised more obviously then how much I must have accustomed myself to my own hand, and porn. I'd pretty much only watched ammature stuff for quite a while and still had pretty much stopped that beforehand already, but was still edging myself (and sometimes accidentally finishing) to pictures or vids of things like escorts I might like to see ha.

I wondered if I needed to raise testosterone as well. I felt like going to a doctor, to get that checked but felt to avoid waiting for things I'd do what I can myself for now, so I for now instead of viagra or anything got some "T "/sex drive boosting supplements and stopped all porn video and playing with myself.

I would say in terms of this energy I could still be better more consistently through the day but I am getting there and I have definitely worked much better when I "need" it. I had two more different escort experiences so far and was very glad to get more fully aroused, and also be able to last the whole 15 minutes without cumming (I take semen retention quite far and even aim to save it during real action). So the stopping masturbating hasn't made me cum to quickly but helped with my goal of not doing it seems. It must have just got too tired and desensitized before. The last two sessions were still more limited than I would like in terms of the variety of positions the escorts were willing to do and still no kissing so far but I feel they were still overall good experiences overall.

So I'm just enjoying the process of sort of "re wiring" myself to real women and the sensation of them which was actually subtle at first in my experience since only being wired to my hand and porn and whatever rush that gives, but something I will enjoy more, and more than I did with porn as I wire to it.

With diet I have for a while been as healthy in that way as I can. I'm very interested in what does what but there are different opinions on things like fats such as the healthier ones being very necessary to create testosterone. I personally include a good amount of "good" fats at this moment, though am vegetarian. Natural carbs I feel also have their important part in T/sex drive as well. Pumpkin seeds are said to be good for zinc, and I will try pomegranate seeds.
