Im putting myself open to flaming, particulary being a new member. So ill ask you to be gentle !

Im an extremely healthy 26 year old, who has been training with heavy weights since age of 15. I do have a sex drive, but not to great. Ive struggled getting and maintaining an erection for as long as I can remember; I rarely wake up with an erection. I use ED meds such as Viagra and Cialis, with some success. But really would like to cure this problem, as it causes me alot of stress. I dont smoke, drink moderately, do cardio and weight training, and have had my testosterone levels measured, and were slightly above average for a guy of my age, which I put down to my weight training.

Im quite lean at about 7% body fat and this is probably the highest its been, having gone down to around 4.5%, could this be the cause? I dont have a great appetite, and probably under eat for the amount of training I do.

I use a whey protein powder after workouts and also creatine. My diet otherwise is very varied and healthy. Ive tried tribulus with some improvement, but nothing spectacular. Ive never taken any roids. I train perhaps 4 or 5 times a week and play football.

Can anyone offer me any advice on how to increase my libido and performance? Theres lots of advice about in various forums but I get confused with the terminology and think its only relevant to those who use steriods.

Thanks in advance.

7-4.5% surely that cannot be healthy--- how tall are you and what do you weigh?
could it be that you are chronically overtrained and this is the cause of your problems?

Have yyou tried eating more and taking some time off from the gym--say a month or so.

Kezz

sounds like you are overtrained...... but i'm no expert

Im 6ft, and weigh 83kg at the minute and 8% bf. I ran the london marathon last year and went down to below 5%.

brasco

as GTT says maybe you are over training!

Trib 3x recommended dose and ZMA raises my libido! also horny goat weed!

maybe somthing to do with diet, last year i dieted on a very low carb diet also doin morning cardio and i was very tired and it seemed to have a negative effect on libido!

viagra and cialis wont effect your libido just give you wood!

maybe its because you cant relax when you go to have sex as you are putting to much pressure on yourself?!

Ive never really eaten more, mostly cause of my lack of appetitie. I guess it would be an obvious place to start. Ive never really had a break from training altogether. I did stop weight training in the later stages of trianing for london marathon, but was running like forest gump so no real lengthly rest period.

Guess I would just like a supplement, to fix it with a pill. Might not be that easy.

brasco, im sure your right. Unfortuneately its a self feeding problem. When you have sex issues, you worry about it, making it worse, making you worry more... I cant really start getting down to sex without taking Viagra or Cialis these days. Its a sorry state of affairs !

GTT

as Brasco says--it could be mental aswell.
THe problem is you have a bad experience with sex and then you worry about it happening again the next time around--so it becomes a self fufilling prophecy.

i used to have a problem with stopping to stick a johnny on--id lose my errection and couldnt get it back..lol-it started off from low libido when i had come off cycle and then ait became a mental thing.

Do you train every day?

cyber, some weeks I train everyday, but I average 3-4 good weight sessions a week. My gym is on my door step and I can see it from my sofa, so its always calling to me when im relaxing watching tv!

brasco

try trib at 3x the dose (at least 1g a day), ZMA and horney goats weed, take a break from training and eat more and see where you are then.

maybe spk to your doc, dont they prescribe proviron for this? (could be wrong)

Thanks brasco, I have some tribulus and goats weed in the cupboard, so ill try it at the higher dose. Might help perk me up whilst I improve my obvious diet/overtraining issue. Its silly isnt it I didnt really think that my diet and overtraining coul dbe the issue until I wrote it down and other people commented on it. So thanks.

Late in last year I tried eating more and I packed on weight at like a kilo a week, I got up to about 88kg quickly from being 71 kg after the london marathon in april. I guess if my body is willing to put on muscle (I was still lean) that quickly just from eating then it would suggest its calling out for more.

GTT

I would ban yourself from using Viagra and Ciallis because you will mentally reach a stage even when biologically everything is fine--that you cannot have sex without them.

If you have a girlfriend get her on the pill-- that always did wonders for my johhny problem-ie not using one..lol

more muscle

yes mate dont use things like viagra, they can damage what you have so you end up needing it all the time.

I would recommend not whacking off for as long as you can. In a week or 2 you'll be horny as a mo fo.

Give your body a break, rest a bit and dont stress out about it. Worry is the biggest libido killer mate...:lift:

and like the other guys say be careful your not overtraining. Maybe take a week off and see how you do.

Good luck!
