INTRODUCTION
Relatively healthy kid in my youth.
Never had issues with an erection.
I was highly sexually active until my late 30s.
I never had an issue with an erection.
Past 12-18 months none at all.
I got to a point recently where I could not get aroused at all.
I had a massive amount of stress in my 30s.
During this time my sex drive was still quite high, but I found it harder and harder to perform, I used herbs as a crutch, and they definitely helped a lot, but progressively over the past few years their effect has gone to zero.
It was practically impossible for me to maintain an erection, and when I could it was not very hard and I could not maintain it.
Every now and again I get a surprise visit from my libido, but its literally once in a blue moon.
