  I am sure blokes get more support than women who have lost their libido due to menopause or surgery. I hear lots if adverts on the radio and TV and erectile dysfunction.

  How would I feel? Pretty soft and sad... then I'd march straight to the doctor and demand a bucket of little blue pills. Still maintain the average life span for men is lower because seeing a doctor is considered weak and unmanly. I feel more for those whos libido dies than someone with a soft half inch in the middle. A broken libido would be harder to fix than a broken hardon yes? SG- Posted from rhpmobile

  One of the segments on Embarrassing Bodies Down Under the other night was about a guy who had his prostate removed due to cancer and hence he could no longer physically get an erection because the necessary nerves had been cut. They gave him one of those penile implants that the man can control by pressing a button in his scrotum, and they showed the procedure of inserting the implant...it was really interesting. Basically it allows the man to still obtain an erection sufficient for sex, although they can't ejaculate anymore obviously. I'm not sure of the situation when it comes to financing the implant though, whether it's covered under Medicare (doubtful?) or private health insurance.

  I've always taken my erection for granted. (Cue stirring music)..... He is s trooper. I wake at 6:30 and he's already been up for hours.... And he's up when I go to bed. He is always prepared when I need him and tirelessly goes above and beyond what I ask of him, with no complaint and little concern for his needs. But no more shall I live in thankless disregard for my trooper. No longer shall I thrust him into harms way without considering hiss welfare, no more will I insert him into situations where he is not consulted forts! (Musical crescendo peaking)... I stand to attention, and applaud you, my magnificent erection, loyal, trusty trouser companion, side by side we ride to great heights and acvom- Posted from rhpmobile

  ...accomplish great things, plunging the depths of despair (or was her name Clare.... cant recall) and triumph where previously there was only tragedy. So thank you, my erection, thank you. :D- Posted from rhpmobile

  This is what I mean...ED is more often than not associated with a physical condition such as lacking blood flow or nerve damage. The mental aspects of ED, i.e. not being able to get an erection because of a mental block, are just as hard to fix as a low libido (and a low libido may also be part of the cause of ED)... but they can be over come.A low libido is more often than not associated with a mental condition such as lack of caring and affection. Whilst the chemical aspects of a low libido may be balanced out with drugs, the emotional aspect is much harder to resolve.All of course with my disclaimer of "I'm not a doctor, am just throwing out the suggestion for thought" SGP.S. I agree that there is more open support for ED than for a missing libido.

  A family member had surgery for bladder cancer and the result was ED. While that outcome was known prior to the surgery, there was no follow up counselling with the couple to see how they were coping with this change to their relationship. Then my family member heard about some pills. Actually he was told they would help so he invested money in buying some. There was no way they were ever going to help. The really sad thing was, for the wife, there were no longer cuddles and kisses and massages because he could not see the point of it as he could not get aroused. He had never been a particularly affectionate person and so he could not substitute affection for sex. As I have got older, and especially while menopausal, I found myself longing for affection rather than sex so I think if I had an affectionate partner, who didn't mind being sexual with me on the occasions when I felt like I needed sex, I could survive the changed circumstances. As for whether ED is resourced enough, I think there is a lack in follow up counselling for men who have surgeries that result in impotence and while other services might be well resourced, the counselling aspect is not.

  ...and I have had 2 lovers who suffered severe ED (yes one complete and the other nay as well have been). I can't joke about it I'm sorry. One was made so mean he turned to rape as the only means to get "anything" to feel like a man. The other was a man in every sense, virile and powerful BUT unable to. Sry Kal....brings back angry and sad memories.- Posted from rhpmobile

  Reactions to cancer treatments, diabetes is a HUGE one, there are many "miracle fixes, pills and bullshit" that do more damage to the man abd his esteem than doing nothing. The women suffer as silently and are expected to give up their sexuality and desire for everything (including just beautiful intimacy, hugs, affection, gentle cuddles, soft kisses). They get angry, it's not akways at you but at themselves for their perceived lack of "worth" "ability to perform", "manliness". No there's no support for the couples who suffer, little "real" counselling; men won't talk about it, close themselves off and then guilt their lovers/partners for still having "those" feelings/desire/needs/wants which the men feel they can no longer fulfil because their dicks don't work...fck me how cruel is THAT!!! They turn to demoralising their women, jealousy becomes an issue if they look the wrong way and sometimes violence becomes a side effect of the condition. - Posted from rhpmobile

  Sometimes do more damage to the existing flesh and in some patients can result in worse performance than prior. Like all procedures thorough investigation must take place and all outcomes good or bad considered. This procedure is only recommended for those whom the Doctors feel are less likely to have complications. Sry I need to back away from this topic.....sry.- Posted from rhpmobile

  Sounds like DG's Whang is for sale, one proud owner, history and performance reports included. No price was mentioned for this erectile reptile called Grant (ed). Offers over $19.00 may be a start?
