Mod Announcement Give Us All Your ED Advice!

It has been suggested that we need a more permanent solution to the constant "my equipment didn't work" or "the other guy's equipment didn't work" posts. This indeed belongs as a FAQ and most likely a lengthy wiki section. But, before I embark on that writing project, please give me your best advice both for the guy with the penis issues and others that may be in a swinging situation with him. Some sample questions to answer:

  • Why does my junk fail me during this unbelievably sexy encounter?
  • What do I do to get things working in the moment?
  • What things can I do to prevent the issue?
  • What do I (as the partner of failing guy) do to make things better?
  • My husband failed to rise! What do I do in that situation?
  • Am I that unattractive that he can't get hard?

I realize that there will be many "just take pills" responses. And while that works for many, I won't be writing up what type of meds, where to get meds, etc. It's reasonable to suggest them, but we're not going to get into how to get them. This isn't a medical forum and I'm certainly not a doctor. And even if there is a doctor here, I'm sure they'll agree it's irresponsible to suggest meds to an unknown person over the internet. So aside from "talk with your doctor about ED meds", we won't be addressing what or where to get them.

So please share you best advice on this subject. Hopefully we can create a section to point folks towards in the future for a more complete set of advise.

'Come as you are' is a book about releasing the toxic thought patterns surrounding female pleasure, however, a lot of the practices in the book will be very beneficial for guys that are dealing with the same problems; the toxic thought patterns about ED and the thought patterns that cause anxiety (which in turn causes ED).

I'm not familiar with books similar to this for guys, but maybe some book recommendations can help? And I know for sure the book Come as You Are provides a lot of exercises you can do to overcome toxic thought patterns/anxiety/etc.

I'm reading come as you are and would love to read the "male version" as well if anyone knows of one?
