Regaining Erections

I love the 'we'! Sean is lucky to have a partner show that much interest. Still - i won't complain too much. There's plenty on here that are in a far worse place.

Rehab and recovery is a lonely and miserable endeavour if you are working at it alone. But can work! ;-)

The fact that there is a "we" in their working at it is lovely to read.

SF2, don't give up. You had a moment before Christmas with your good lady? Work at having some more. More lingerie*, more perfume, more oysters, more wandering about naked! Turn off the internet if she is an addict. :-0 Oh the angst......

* lingerie for her, but if it works for you as well?

A few weeks since my last update. Unfortunately, my OH has had a chest infection, and was off work for a while, and even though she is back now, is nowhere near 100%.

Anyway, I had my first 100 mg sildenafil tablet in a while on Saturday. Sadly, a long coughing fit as soon as she got into bed put paid to any passion, so I was unable to find if there was any progress.

There are, however considerable side effects. I slept poorly feeling hot, I am left feeling head achy, and the effects lasted 24 hours.

One consolation, though. I played a really good game of golf on Sunday morning, which my OH says that was because no nooky the night before makes you play more aggressively.

I have been using the pump without the ring to exercise the old man, but although I sometimes feel there are stirrings down under, there is no sign of anything happening naturally.  I am now 10 months post op.

Thanks for the replies. Mo - I'm glad you enjoy my humour. In fact to play golf well, you have to be relaxed, smooth of swing and in control. My OH is trying to compare golf to football or rugby, where a different mind set is needed!

I am not overly worried about progress at the moment. Dave - you suggested using my hands - the way my OH was coughing continuously, there was no way I could have even concentrated on that. In regards of which you'd prefer, let me put it like this. A good bonk would probably be over, even with foreplay in 30 minutes. A game of golf in the winter lasts 3 hours, and 4 in the summer, as we play even more holes.

I used the pump with a ring on my own this morning, but I can't get a full erection as I can without a ring. Maybe I was using a ring size too small, as it was also holding the foreskin back, so it wasn't particularly successful. I'll try a larger size next time.

30 minutes!!!! Wow - respect.

Why are you bothering with the rings on your own?

If it loses firmness immediately then likely to be your technique in breaking the vacuum & transferring the rings over. If it droops slowly try combinations of two rings.

Another tablet yesterday, and a hand job from the OH brought about the best results yet, I'd say over 50%, so things are definitely on the up! Unfortunately, neither foreplay or any mental stimulation hasn't any kind of effect on the old man as of yet.

I can't say I enjoy waking up with a headache resulting from the sildenafil, but it is bearable. I have found recent orgasms to be disappointing, too. They've been nowhere near as strong as some experienced last year.

I'm not getting too downhearted, though. I have been playing some pretty decent golf this year, so am looking forward to the new summer season. We have to count our blessingd. A member, 1 year younger than myself, died on the course last Sunday, and even though it was on the last hole, the new defibrillator could not help save him. The stories on here make me even more determined to enjoy life whilst I still have the health to do so!
