Been reading these forums for a while, but I'm a first time poster. Heres my problem. In the summer, my erections seem full and my hair is thick, but in the winter months i have erectile dysfunction and thinning hair. Weird, right? I also have no fat anywhere except for my stomach/ midsection. I know this means I have either low testosterone or high estrogen or something. Its really frustrating because I lose my erections super fast, and I cant stay hard while having sex with my girlfriend, and sometimes I can't even get it hard enough to bone. I also never get random boners anymore. Sometimes in the morning I'll wake up with a full wood, but it goes away really quickly. At night, not a chance.
heres what I've tried: Tribulus, Horny Goat Weed, Yohimbe, Arginine, I've tried these supps for two months, they didnt help.
I've also been taking 600 mg of 6-OXO for the past week, but it has done nothing so far.
I'm pretty sure its a hormone problem, given my symptoms, but does anyone have a suggestion?

Get your testosterone checked. You have all the symptoms of cyclic hypogonadism.

What kind of arginine? What was the dose?
I noticed an increasing amount while using Syntrax Nitrous, even at 5 grams a day.
I also love Gingko for the vasodilation side effect.Don't Support Companies that are suing me!!

I used Now L-Arginine, usually 4 grams before my workout. Gingko is in my multivitamin.
I have no trouble gaining muscle, can this still be hypogonadism or any other type of testosterone problem? I have all my secondary sex characteristics lol, I just cant get a boner.

Everyone always says 6-OXO has atleast a little effect. Is a week too soon to tell, or should I atleast feel a little something?
Sorry to be a pain but this is really frustrating. I'm definetely going to see a doctor. I see lots on this board about clomid, nolva and whatnot, but mostly in regards to PCT. If I have low test or some kind of hormone problem, would these drugs work for me? If they did work, would my hormones have problems as soon as I went off them? I'm having doubts that they would even work since everyone loves 6-OXO and it didnt do anything for me. Plus I'm 19. What a mess.
I'm going to see my girlfriend this weekend, is a one-time usage of viagara safe?

Jmillion have you been on any anxiety medication, anti-depressants? Those types of medication can cause those types of sides. You need to see a doctor those symtoms can be from other causes. In my opinion all the things that you have tried should have worked and you should be 20 years away from even needing those type of things. Play it safe and talk with a Dr.

Look don't try self medicating yourself with those things. Weak erections can be caused by a variety of different things some serious and some not. But you need a doctor. If your body isnt producing enough test he may put you on testosterone therapy. Like Androgel.Originally Posted by JMillion

My facial hair growth is normal. The only medication I take is for my asthma. Never taken ephedra, anxiety, mood disorder drugs, none of that.
I'm calling my doctor as soon as possible, but I dont know what I'll tell the parents lol. I know this obviously not normal.
Good thing I can eat pussy good, or my gf would be pissed lol.

Stress can also be an issue. If you are outside much during the summer, the sun increases test levels and just being outside can reduce anxiety which increases erections.Originally Posted by armz_ha

Doesn't asthma medication use ephedrine? Well just pull your father aside and tell him your concerned that it could be a sign of something more serious. You don't have to go into your sex life. Your father has been 19 before and I guess he will be more supportive than you think. I would just say that you have noticed that your nightime erections aren't happening and morning wood quickly leaves and that you understand that shouldn't being happening at your age and could be something to be concerned about.Originally Posted by JMillion

you know what? latest studies show that ed causes are only about 10-15% physiological. Everyone had once believe that once you can't get it up it's all in your head. Now with more studies being on this subject, most impotence cases is caused by physical problems.Originally Posted by mntbikedudedoesn't watch t.v.

Gingko is so underestimated in my mind. hahaha, im hilarious but that was unintentional. ANYWAYS....Originally Posted by JMillion
I use it for memory and all that stuff, and can definitely feel a difference if i don't take it for a few days, but i love it for erection strength and longetivity.
The amount in your multi is too low to do anything. Get some supplemental, try at least 120mgs of what its standardized for daily. (usually caps are 60-120 mgs) you can take more than that. Just try it out, if your worried about money, buy it from GNC and take it back if it doesn't work. If it does work, take it back anyway and buy from another store. They offer full refund with minimal questions asked.Don't Support Companies that are suing me!!

I've lost hope for herbals and whatnot after horny goat weed, yohimbe and trib failed. I'm sure Gingko helps some people with erections, but my problem seems to be about more than bloodflow. My plan of action now is to return the 6-OXO i bought, tell my parents about the trouble, get a bloodtest and trust my physician's advice.
I'm sure my trouble wont be solved in time to have sex with my gf next weekend, but she's pretty understanding as long as she has an orgasm somehow.

i've had some problems with my penis in the past and sometimes currently. It's like it just decides to work sometimes and other times not. Or sometimes it will just quit halfway through a hot and heavy session which really kills the mood.
I've done some researching, and there's quite a few things i dug up...maybe some of them might help.
Horny Goat Weed, and other "super sex pills" never did anything for me and my problem. I even went to the "adult" bookstore with my girlfriend and got some "instant boner" cream. Yeah, that didn't work...but it did make my unit smell like mint...lol.
There are quite a few things that can cause the penis problem. I smoke a lot, and that can be a factor. Combine lots of smoking and high stress on a very non-physically active day and that'll hurt me. Diet, stress, smoking, even the wheather can do it. If you're in a dark room and its dark outside, it's more "depressing" to the brain...and the brain is one of the factors that controls your sexual performance in most aspects.
Ever engage in sex and think you're going to "finish" too soon so you quickly think about something very non sexual like the pistons/pacers game? Yeah, think non sexual will make you get soft. I've developed mind tricks with my penis and it works most of the time. I think my condition is a mental thing more so than anything else. Sometimes i get "sex shy" and concentrate too much on pleasuring the girl over just relaxing and enjoying my pleasure.
I don't know if any of this helps, but it's pretty much a lame problem to have...and can be difficult to talk about. I don't ignore the problem and that helps me. Hell my friends even joke around with me sometimes about it. Good luck and happy holidays.
