Is erectile dysfunction a good reason to ctb?

[LifeSucks39]

I have erectile dysfunction and pills won't help, I'm getting depressed that I won't be able to have sex again , is this a good reason to ctb?

 

[Final Escape]

Oh no I'm not sure what to say on that. Are u a young guy? Not that it's any less sucky if u are older. Are u masturbating a lot to porn? I've heard some people develop issues over that. Can u describe what happened? Like when did it begin? Is it possibly a psychological thing? Other thing was antidepressants can cause that. I would not do it until u figure out what's causing it. If it's not fixable but it probably is.

It started out of the blue a year ago.

I had depression out of the blue.

I had depression out of the blue.

I don't think it comes out of the blue even though it's not always obvious what triggered it. Maybe it's because of the depression. Nothing good has happened in awhile?

 

[Deathbydemo]

It's not for us speculate what is a good reason to get out versus what isn't. If it's a big enough deal to you then that's your answer.

However, sex really isn't everything. Foreplay and true intimacy can be just as good, if not better. My father was impotent, and here I am.

Maybe it's the recent rollout of the 5G WiFi towers. How long ago did it begin? I know people will think u crazy conspiracy theorist but there's lots of concern over this so there's probably something to it.

 

[GoodPersonEffed]

I think that since you're the only one who can ctb for yourself, then only you can decide what is a good reason for you to ctb. It's easier to get approval for a choice from others, it's harder to decide for one's self, but when it comes time to act, no one will be doing the act for you, so I would caution against letting others sway your decision or make it for you.

Since it's a pro-choice site, anyone who says you're making a choice for the wrong reasons isn't really pro-choice, but pro-approval. You don't need any approval other than your own.

Have you got your hormone levels checked, especially testosterone ?

 

[Mr2005]

I feel for you. I have no problem getting an erection but I do have a hard time ejaculating.

Yes that too. This can impact men and women. Women struggle to orgasm and get wet without enough testosterone.

That's quite the pun. Are you on psychiatric meds or just an old roadie ?

 

[KiraLittleOwl]

Depends on your personal feelings about that. Some people consider my reason not valid but it still kills my soul.
Anyway it is better too try every treatment out there.

I'm on meds

Yes, sometimes, it can be a thyroid problem.
Other times, meds can fuck this up very badly in mysterious ways, like anti-acne drugs or anti-hairloss. Laboratories have been taken to court with class-actions for falsifying evidences, accused to hide the proportion of side effects before sending these pills on the market
And many more reasons

There are ways both chemical and natural to stimulate the testosterone production

I broke up with my SO, I lost my job and I'm on meds

 

[calendulo]

No, it is not........nowadays, pills make real miracles.
About sexual issues always could going through news and different frontiers.
Use your imagination.

 

[Final Escape]

I broke up with my SO, I lost my job and I'm on meds

Which meds?

 

[LifeSucks39]

Which meds?

Effexor, Risperdal and Cipralex

 

[Spacing Out]

Effexor, Risperdal and Cipralex

Good ol' Cipralex. I'm on it too. I've heard some stories about people being unable to orgasm because of it - could you ask your doctor about that? Not saying it's 100%, but it's something to consider.

 

[Rockman]

I understand you. Doctors sterilized me and its huge part of my suicidal thoughts they start like a crazy.

 

[Notabadguy]

No, it's not. I have erectil dysfunction, too. It's not psychologic. I'm not sucidal because of that, but for other reasons (not unbearable, but I want to CTB all the same). Your sentimental life, in a romantic was, is fucked, That's true. But there a lot of other things in life. I wouldn't CTB because of that.

 

[Supersadmommy90]

I understand 100% what losing the ability to feel pleasure can do to a person. Being able to enjoy that feeling means the world especially where most of life is just painful and monotonous otherwise. I'm so sorry you're lacking the ability to feel those feelings. That is a significant b'ow and loss. Although there is more to life. Eventually dinks going limp gets the best of most everyone sooner or later. Sex is a part of life until it isn't. Like I said there is more to life

 

[s1mplem3]

There are no good or bad reasons to CTB, people do it cause they can't take this life.

 

[voyager (D)]

Risperdal and Cipralex

There you have the answer to your question. Most psychiatric drugs can cause erectile dysfunction and orgasm problems, and most men don't like to talk to their doctor about it.

I have switched to Trazodone (antidepressant).
If you need an antipsychotic, Abilify (Aripiprazole) is one option. Both of them cause no ED and no orgasm problems.

If you are older, this can also be a cause. If you go to a urologist or andrologist, they can prescribe Viagra (Sildenafil) or Cialis (Tadalafil).

I wish you success!

Any reason that an individual deems valid to him/herself is valid and isn't up to his/her peers or society to deem otherwise. I'd say all reasons are valid as it is the individual who is living the individual's life and no one else. As for your specific reason and as a male myself, I'd say yes, it can be extremely frustrating and depressing to have such medical programs that prevent you from being able to enjoy one of the most primal desires, which is sex.

 

[restingspot]

As a male myself

No offense but I always thought you were a lady I think the icon threw me off.

 

[Throwaway9787]

I don't think it's a rational reason

 

[Deformationalplagio]

Are you taking medications like finasteride, dutasteride or antidepressants? If yes thats 100% the problem.
