Q: Impotence?
At what age, if any, is this considered a natural occurrence and not a medical problem.
A: There are lots of factors. At a certain point, usually after 50, your serume testosterone level drops and you go through what is now called andropause (male menopause). With a reduced T level, your libido drops and so does the ability to have or sustain an erection.
Genes play a part in exactly when this happens and testoserone therapy (like gel patches) have certainly proved to help in that department.
Your level of sexual activity through your life also plays a part, and most people, men and women, who have been sexually active all their lives tend to stay that way.
Blood flow is important as well so anything that restricts this will restrict you. Among the factors are diabetes, coronary artery disease, the drugs you take daily (some reduce libido).
Your own self image is also involved. Sometimes as we age we don't really like what our bodies have done, and that can translate into not being able to perform.
And you are not 20 any more as previously said. Getting there will take a little longer and have patience. The best things in life are worth waiting for.
And stop watching the pharmaceutical ads because they only want to convince you that you have something wrong in order to sell you a product. ED happens in one way or other at some time to all guys...wrong time, wrong mood, stress, etc. It's not a unversal dysfunction. It's your body telling you something's gotta change.
Q: How good are the non-prescription impotence drugs?
I have heard of a new anti-impotence drug called Prelox, and wondered whether anyone has heard any good reports of this. Also, does anyone know of any other successful remedies other than Viagra and/or Cialis?
A: There are no over the counter or non-prescription drugs for sexual dysfunction, erectile problems or impotence. Period. If you see one, it is a scam, period.
Prelox is just some amino acids and an antioxidant. That's it. It has never been subjected to any sort of testing. It is NOT a drug, it's just something someone made up and is trying to sell without any sort of safety or efficacy testing.
As for other treatments, back before Viagra in the good old days they had a prostaglandin urethral suppository. It was a gel of sorts that you basically shoved down the urethra when you wanted an erection. Incredibly effective. But for whatever reason, people who didn't actually need it weren't too keen on getting it.
Q: What Percentage Of Males Who Take Prozac Have Trouble With Impotence?
I couldn't find the percentage, but I read a lot of articles saying that it did it most of out all the anti-depressants. My fiancee just got on it, and I was wondering how big the chance was that he was going to have a lowered sex drive and possibly impotence.
So, if anyone could find the percentage or anything like that it would be greatly appreciated.
A: It's probably nothing to worry about - have you heard of the placebo effect ? Just don't bring it up
Q: Is it possible after a body massage two suddenly suffer from impotence when it was never a problem before?
The person was very tense before massage and received a deep tissue/hot stone massage to relax and loosen all the knots. He had never suffered from any previous impotence issues until after the massage. Could it be stress related or could they have damaged certain nerves or muscles related?
He says that he is sure it's not stress related. What can be another cause?
A: First of all let's get our definition straight. Impotence is a chronic problem. In other words a male with this problem often can't have an erection. The inability to achieve an erection on a single occassion isn't impotence, it's just embarrasing and annoying.
The inability to achieve an erection happens to everybody. If it hasn't happened to a guy yet it will happen to him sometimes in the future. It can be caused by any number of things; stress, fatigue and or a lack of interest in his partner at that moment.
Perhaps this fellow as a bit tired when the message started and he was just too relaxed and maybe a bit sleepy when it became time to have an erection.
Q: Can cocaine use cause an episode of impotence or erectile dysfunction?
Does the occasional use of cocaine (say once/twice a month) cause impotence during sex soon after one uses it? Would this be a tell-tale sign of cocaine use if the person has no other problems with impotence otherwise? Along with the impotence evidence I see is insomnia and talkative behavior.....
A: Yes and that can become definite too.

Q: Could do you think masterbation lead to impotence in men?
Could do you think masterbation lead to impotence in men?
Im just curious to know
Any ideas?
I’ll higly appreciate it if more experienced people help me find an answer to this question. Thank u all.
A: Masturbation in men will not lead to impotence and in fact will cause an increase in the frequency of erections. Unfortunately there is an extremely negative side effect. Frequent male masturbation will cause the length of time between stimulation and ejaculation to steadily decrease. Thus frequent male masturbation will lead to premature ejaculation.
It is kind of funny that in females the effect although not exactly opposite tends to increase her ability to have satisfying sex. Since a woman does not have to obtain or sustain an erection to have satisfying sex duration depends entirely on the man. For most women the problem is the large amounts of time and stimulation required to achieve orgasm often exceeds her mans endurance.
For a woman, anything she can do to make her orgasm come faster the more satisfying sex will be. For a man anything he can do to increase the length of time required for orgasm will make him more satisfying as a lover.

Top 5 Herbal Supplements out there today:
1. Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) -
Fenugreek is a herb native to southern Europe and Asia. Fenugreek has been used for thousands of years by native populations for a wide variety of uses including but not limited to, low testosterone in both Males and Females, loss of Libido, Hormone imbalance, and the suppression of estrogen in Males. Fenugreek contains high concentrations of choline, tryptophan, ascorbic acid, niacin and potassium. Choline is important for athletic performance, tryptophan is a serotonin precursor, ascorbic acid is a powerful antioxidant, and niacin and potassium are critical for immune function. Fenugreek may also offer protection to the brain and liver against alcohol.
2. Longjack (Eurycoma Longifolia Jack / Tongkat Ali / Malaysian Ginseng / Pasak Bumi)-
Longjack has been used traditionally as an aphrodisiac and libido booster. Scientific studies support its use for this purpose and demonstrate that it is effective at boosting sexual function and endurence. Longjack is believed to stimulate the production of endogenous testosterone and to reduce the levels of bound and metabolically inactive testosterone in the body. It is believed to achieve this feat through the Leutinizing Hormone (LH) pathway. Consequently, users of Longjack commonly report an association between Longjack administration and increased feelings of well-being, increased sex drive, improved joint health, greater recovery from exercise of intense but appropriate duration, improved mental focus, and improved immune system function and reductions in body-fat.As a potent source of antioxidants, Longjack may have immunoprotective and anti-cancer properties.
3. ZMA-
ZMA is a scientifically designed anabolic mineral formula.* It contains Zinc Monomethionine Aspartate plus Magnesium Aspartate and vitamin B-6 and is an all-natural product that clinical testing suggests may significantly increase the body's natural anabolic hormone levels (Testosterone) and muscle strength in Males. This is one of the best ad safest out there. It is taken at bedtime, and has also been proven to increase the natural production of Human Growth Hormones, and IGF1! There is a large body of scientific evidence supportive of ZMA. Zinc and Magnesium are commonly depleted from your body. Studies suggest that supplementing with 30mg of Zinc and 450mg of Magnesium per day can elevate testosterone levels.*
The most talked about study is the following. Lorrie Brilla, PhD, a sports performance researcher at Western Washington University, recently reported that ZMA significantly increase free testosterone levels and muscle strength in NCAA football players. These ZMA study results were presented by Dr. Brilla on June 2, 1999, at the 46th Annual Meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine in Seattle, WA, and were published in the official ACSM journal, Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, Vol. 31, No. 5, May 1999.
Specifically, Brilla reported that "a group of competitive NCAA football players who took ZMA nightly during an eight-week spring training program had 2.5 times greater muscle strength gains than a placebo group. (250% better results!)
4. Tribulus Terrestris- Tribulus Terrestris is a vine plant that grows in moderate and tropical climates in the United States, Mexico, Eastern Europe, India and China. The Tribulus Terrestris plant has a long history of uses. People from around the world have used the Tribulus Terrestris plant to promote overall health, support healthy libido function already in normal range and increase muscle tone. Because of the plants reputed benefits, athletes have used Tribulus Terrestris extract dietary supplements to boost energy levels, to promote healthy hormone function, to enhance muscle tone and to support athletic training.* Although it's unclear how Tribulus Terrestris extract exerts its effects, scientific research has suggested several possible mechanisms of action. Tribulus Terrestris contains steroidal saponins, alkaloids, and flavanoids, and its protodioscins content is believed to be responsible for its effects on hormone, libido and body composition. Clinical research suggests that Tribulus Terrestris does indeed support healthy libido function in humans, and that it also supports healthy blood pressure and healthy cholesterol p

I have recently been experiencing pre mature ejaculation issues and impotence issues. My girlfriend gets me really excited and I will ejaculate very fast, but then after that I can't get it back up. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this? Any suggestions/advice. I am 20 years old and I am glad she is very supportive of me, but still for future I want to resolve this issue.
Should I go to a doctor or something? Should I do kegels or something?
A: The male orgasm/ejaculation involves the contraction of many muscles in and around the pelvic region.Mind plays an important role during ejaculation.If you know how to identify these muscles and how to control your mind,ejaculation won't happen until you desire.Natural treatments are best to delay ejaculation
