Anyone else with erection issues here..?

[personfromon]

I've had erection problems--I'm in my 40s; and I agree with the advice above about fitness and especially getting more sleep. But since you are fit and in your 30's let me chime in with another possible cause.....

In my case, embarrasing to admit, the other causal factor was porn--- internet porn, which, turns out, is like porn on 'crack'.

I'm no puritan, I enjoyed porn mags and dvds growing up, with no erection problems, so at first I didn't accept that intrnet porn was any different....
But then read some research showing that the instantly accessible novelty of having all those tabs open can really do a number on the chemistry in the male brain. TEDx talk: 'the Great Porn Experiment' explained how dopamine 'saturation' in the brain results from the super-increased novelty of internet porn; this in turn can result in Erectile Dysfunction--which is now quite common among 20-30yr old guys because internet porn affects the brain differently than playboy magazine and dvds did for us older gents. The dopamine saturation can also disrupt sleep and 'normal' pleasure response in non-sexual activities, leading to increased depression.
The website 'yourbrainonporn.com' explains this new phenomenon in detail without any moralistic judgementalism.
Solution? Going 'cold turkey' --a complete avoidance of internet porn, to let the brain's dopamine receptors reset to normal levels.... took me 8wks, then my normal erections (like 5 yrs ago) returned.
I kept thinking I could have a lil bit of pornhub, but for me at least, even a little bit changed my heart rate and sleep pattern (and erection strength for intercorse), so i had to go completely off it.
There's an online site where guys talk about their efforts to deal with this: yourbrainrebalanced.com.

Hopefully this is not the issue for you; but I post this in case it is for other guys.

I've read a bit about this--does it actually work though? I'm a little bit skeptical. I guess it's worth a try though. Gonna be difficult to say the least though hahah

Iv had a problem with ED in my early 30's and did as much research as I could to resolve this problem without the need for viagra. And thankfully was able to fix it on my own so here is what iv learned.
For starters buy a box of detox tea and a laxative tea that is the easiest remedy to begin with, you drink the detox tea in the afternoon and then the laxative before bed to flush out the toxins in your system. Detoxification is a great way to wake up your tired reproductive system, and you only need to do this 2-3 days at a time. Trust me it helps.

Erectile Dysfunction can be an early sign of heart disease, doesn't mean you actually have heart disease but you may be on that path. Your body produces an important molecule called Nitric Oxide or as some would call it NO. It plays a vital role in vascular elasticity and blood flow throughout your entire body.
There is two main factors the first the production, and secondly the release of the molecule. In order to produce NO your body needs one of 2 important amino acids,
Arginine which is most common, or Citrulline which is less common but far more potent.
An easy source for arginine is nuts, mainly peanuts, only way to get citrulline is from watermelon which is concentrated in the light area not so much the red part.

In order to trigger the release you will need "the pump" as bodybuilders would call it. Work your muscles to the point of swelling, trigger that bloodflow throughout your body. Working out will also cause you to hyperventilate and increase your blood oxygen level, which is important for overall energy. Low oxygen in your blood will cause fatigue and make your dick lazy.
Also rest is very important to replenish your system of NO and if you snore in your sleep it will hinder your body of recovery and give you a low oxygen level right out of the gate. Snoring alone can cause ED, so fix that problem asap and your dick will thank you.
