RE: Re: New here, the OTHER effects of PSSD

[Guest guest]

That’s like me. I can get an erection just fine, but its numb.

Not totally numb, but numb enough that it doesn’t really feel like much when I’m

having sex. I went to a urologist who said “everything seems fine to me” and

my doctor had never heard of that condition, and I went to a neurologist to

have my nerves checked, and they all seemed to be working fine. So the problem

was deemed to be “perhaps in the brain itself”.

At least that’s the beginning of understanding…

Sorry to hear that. I can get an erection just

fine, almost as

easily as I could prior to the dysfunction, maybe not quite as

strong of one but its still an erection, its just simply numb. I

still have a sex drive and im still able to get an erection but

during sexual acts I will lose the erection often, then it will come

back and I will lose it over and over its very annoying and its just

numb, very low sensitivity. It has gotten slightly better over the

last 11 months so im hopeing to continue seeing improvements. To be

honest im more upset over my lack of emotion then I am this

dysfunction. I feel like the two problems are connected, and when

one impproves, the other will as well.
