How To Naturally Keep High Erection Quality & Libido For Your Whole Life?

[japanesedude]

Try Zinc Picolinate at first and see what happens

 

[Vesi]

Gym three times a week. Squat and deadlift (start with romanian deadlift and move to squat/normal DL when your hamstrings have enough range of motion and strength), bench, overhead press, row, vertical pull, farmers walk. Progressive overload (increase reps or weight over time).

I have a post I just started on what kills erections.

I think the list of what creates good erections is much more difficult.

I think the biggest thing is partner sex. That is most important for good erections. The more partner sex, the longer you spend with penis in vagina, the better your erections.

It's important that you have frequent nocturnal erections. If you don't, eventually you won't be able to have erections easily anymore because of fibrosis.

Frequent orgasms kill erection quality. The older you are the worse this effect.

Nose breathing and high CO2 levels help erection quality a LOT. More than almost anything else. Have sex with your mouth closed.

Have sex on a mostly empty stomach, not after a heavy meal.

In the long run, high cortisol levels kill erections and kill testosterone. That is probably the most important thing. Stress hormones kill erections and over time will damage or destroy manhood.

Agree with hamster. Stress and cortisol kill erections. So start worrying so much and focus on finding a girl or FB to have fun with. The more sex you have the better your libido, your testosterone, and the better your erections. You need to be with a real live woman, and not fapping. Fapping ruins erections and sensitivity especially when combined with porn. On the other hand, when you are with a woman having sex and even just being with her, your body releases Oxytocin, also known as the love hormone. It will actually help build not only your libido but your happiness. Reducing your worrying. Remember humans are designed to have sex, a lot of sex, that is our heritage and how we evolved. Humans are the most highly sexual of all species, in fact, the average human has sex over 3000 times per pregnancy. That is unheard of in the rest of the animal kingdom.

And please do not think you are on a mission to please the woman. Focus on having fun. When you just focus on her like a mission it becomes something other than fun...and believe me she feels that and women do not like being under pressure.

Finally, there is no reason to have plenty of testosterone in your old age. The idea that it declines naturally is a myth. This is where diet and stress can reduce T badly. And many folks around here have good advice for that one.

 

[ecstatichamster]

@Revo exactly right. Masturbation is really a T and sensitivity killer and wires the brain often to porn and fantasy instead of real partners.

T does NOT decline with age. It declines with chronic disease and poor metabolism. Saying T declines with aging is a pharma company scam to get doctors to prescribe profitable TRT.

This study goes along with the supposed "free versus total T" myth but it shows no real decline in T amongst healthy old men:

Sex Hormones and Age: A Cross-sectional Study of Testosterone and Estradiol and Their Bioavailable Fractions in Community-dwelling Men | American Journal of Epidemiology | Oxford Academic
he role of endogenous sex hormones in many diseases makes understanding factors that influence levels of these hormones increasingly important. This study examined age-associated variations in total and bioavailable testosterone and estradiol levels among community-dwelling Caucasian men in Rancho Bernardo, California. Plasma samples obtained from 810 men aged 24–90 years in 1984–1987 were analyzed in 1993 using radioimmunoassay. Analyses of age-hormone associations, adjusting for weight, body mass index, alcohol ingestion, smoking, physical activity, caffeine intake, specimen storage time, and disease status, were undertaken. Bioavailable testosterone and bioavailable estradiol levels decreased significantly with age independently of covariates. Total testosterone and estradiol levels decreased with age only when analyses were controlled for confounders. The importance of the age-associated decline in endogenous sex hormone levels, particularly levels of bioavailable testosterone and bioavailable estradiol, and their relation to disease and function in men deserve further research.

Yep. I have seen men that are the OPS age that cannot get it up. And men that are my age (57) and older that have sex every day and never have a problem. (on the anectodal side)

Sleep 8+ hours is primary (get f.lux stop the late night internet gaming or fapping or IMing etc. the screen is the thing), I'm not a moralist just move it to mornings or earlier. High vitamin D 5000iu+, High Vitamin k ~1/mg day, Mg 2+ 500mg, zinc, and small amounts of Boron..and then stress your bones with HIIT including squats and deadlifts. If you want to get crazy add Vitex (a dopanergic) or selegaline and astragalus tea (astragalus makes my sleep awesome). Do everything else on this site like eat enough sugar and avoid PUFA. My T this last summer was 1400 from said protocol. From aprox. 900 in steady state. I think The K&D vitamins while lifting were most critical. You may have a natural lull in fall and winter from less light and said vitamins..its somewhat natural. PS Of course, if you've only had sex once you think its a bigger deal...your a dude, status takes time a life is a joke that way - try to find a community where you can be yourself. The desire to pursue is also a good sign, the physical issue is probably more connected with stress or boredom (a la internet porn) take a damn break. When you are older and T is waning you just will not desire sex as much including porn etc. Consider reading Mate and try to avoid high seratonin partners and potential partners. Good luck!

Good advice here. Tenglish gives you a lot of specifics. I got my T from a very low count to a very good number in the matter of about 1 year. It can be done. Of course, I never got close to 1400 that is pretty high lol.

But I am always trying to improve. I am going to look into the High Vitamin D, and High Vitamin K.

The Sad thing about this is men with low T is an epidemic in this country. And no one, not doctors or anyone else even bats an eye. If you have testosterone lower than 400 to 600 you have a problem and should be considered a sick person. Low testosterone will take away everything from you that makes you a man. It is a terrible condition. If this happened to women it would be considered a national health emergency. But with men, the victims don't talk about it and no one seems to care.

Advice to the OP go after this with all you can. Follow the advice on here and if you need to talk to a doctor that knows about it. Not your average Urologist or GP, they will not take it serisouly. But maybe a doctor from an anti-aging clinic. It is like night and day when you talk to one of these folks. You are fighting for your way of life.

 

[jitsmonkey]

Yeah because it is. Its just very hard for me to get laid. Im not a guy who can get sex easily. I have social anxiety and i stutter. Girls don't just go around giving me sex...I feel like i wasted my sexual prime and it sucks.

How do you know something you've only experienced once is such an important part of life?
I think you'd have more/better sex if you had a different perspective about sex.

 

[Revo]

For the OP you are very young. You have not missed out on your sexual prime. Remember that is just a statistic. You got many years of good sex ahead of you if you want it. And it can get better and better.

And I do agree with the OP that sex is an important part of life. I believe it is central to our existence. But you need to spend times fixing your issues, and at the same time talking to women, socializing with other people, women, and men. Talking to everyone you meet to polish your social skills. Let me ask you how many strangers do you talk to every day, not just saying hi but actually speaking to for a minute or two?

How many days of the week are you out of the house? Should be at least once a day. Join meetup groups through work and through your interests. Stop watching TV especially the news. Get out and live your life.

And above all fix your T issue. If you havent been tested get tested and know what your T is Free and total, as well as your Estradiol. If you are healthy and follow the advice of this thread there is no reason you should be below 800.

If you want really good erection quality I find the following to work really well in combination: zinc, vitamin D (with a balance of the other fat solubles), tribulus (to increase brain androgen receptors), sorghum, and Nofap. There is the potential for this combo to eliminate social anxieties as well.

 

[Revo]

Constantine can you elaborate on the social anxieties? My son has this big time. Is this due to the combination or is it a particular item? Is there research on this that I could look up?

 

[PTP]

I believe prolactin is the main hormone opposing erections, (I recall reading somewhere that the spike in prolactin after an ejaculation is responsible for the refractory period after sex). So anything that opposes prolactin will benefit. I don't really have your problem, though I did in my earlier 20's and can sympathise, it is a great blow to self-esteem and embarrassing enough that you can't talk to anyone about it. In supplements, I have noticed dihydroprogesterone will keep me harder than usual even after periods with a lot of sex. But it would be a kind of expensive supplement to take regularly if you had a girlfriend or something. I've heard good things about shining certain frequencies of red light on the testicles, but have no personal experience and imagine it's one of those things you have to be careful with.

Weight-lifting seems to be a recurring suggestion here, it would certainly benefit the pelvic floor. I think kettlebell swings are the best weight-training for sex, it even has the thrusting motion in the exercise. Just be careful and don't hurt your lower back.

You'll be miserable and go astray if you make pleasure the central theme of existence.

'Next to nothing, brahmans, is the life of human beings — limited, trifling, of much stress & many despairs. One should touch this [truth] like a sage, do what is skillful, follow the holy life. For one who is born there is no freedom from death.'

"astray" of what?
just curious.

The elimination of social anxieties in this context is due to enhanced brain androgen expression, leading to a more masculinized brain over time. Each item should help, Nofap probably the most, but I find them particularly powerful together. They have good synergy as the vitamin D receptor is important for the function of the androgen receptor, zinc increases androgens and androgen receptor sensitivity when properly dosed (and upregulates 5-ar), tribulus upregulates brain androgen receptors thus amplifying the effects of the other factors, Nofap increases brain androgen receptors as well and decreases brain estrogen expression, and finally Sorghum can upregulate 5-ar. Glycine might also be a good addition as it also upregulates 5-ar and thus 5-ar derived neurosteroids.

I found that sorghum greatly increased reactions commonly associated with histamine and possibly NO (breathing, allergies, asthma). It did seem to work well for dht/erections/brain but led to more hair loss.

Nofap increases brain androgen receptors as well and decreases brain estrogen expression

Where did you get that from? I know about this study showing an increase in T until day seven of no ejaculation then a decline, and that T is increased when watching porn. Perhaps the lower levels of T are caused by an increase in androgen receptors/sensitivity, which would be a very gbolic way of interpreting things.

Thats interesting about sorghum. Did you have any gut problems when you tried it? I found it can be hard on the gut.

@Jits that is a good point when you ask lead astray of what. I would assume that astray means away from something or some path. But if sexuality is central to a man then I believe denying this would actually lead you astray.

I make every effort to NOT make assumptions.
