Tom, Age 34, sexually active man diagnosed with Diabetes that led to Erectile Dysfunction
Tom is one of those guys who had no problem with the ladies. He was in his early 30’s and still single. He was fairly popular with the opposite sex and had no problem finding sexual partners. He started having health complications and found out that he had Diabetes type 1.
His doctor told him that his condition was not serious, but there were further complications that he should watch out for. He was warned of possible heart problems as well as liver and kidney problems. One of the most devastating was the possibility of erectile dysfunction.
He started to panic right away. The thought of ED made him feel shameful and less of a man. He tried everything he got his hands on a cure for it. He tried treating it with various shots and medications and he even tried a penis pump. He put himself through a lot of stress, pain and frustration by trying various remedies that were just not working.
The penis pump was the worst of his treatments. He would put his penis in a tube and attempt to pump blood through it like he was pumping up a bicycle tire. He would wrap his hand around the bottom of the shaft to hold the blood inside so he wouldn’t lose his erection. The contraption was cumbersome and caused a lot of discomfort. Tom powered through it because he would do anything to keep his healthy sex life.
He tried using suppositories, but inserting objects inside his penis felt like a line that he should not be crossing. He was fearful that he would damage his urethra so he moved on to medications. The medications were off and on. Sometimes they would work fine, but other times it was as if he took nothing at all. The medications were not reliable. Even if they didn’t work; they would still make him feel sick.
He moved on to injections. They worked okay as a temporary fix, but Tom did not like having to leave the room and inject a painful needle into his penis or scrotum every time he wanted to have sex. There were just too many drawbacks to the injections and they didn’t even work properly every time. He would need the injections every time he was with a woman and he needed to inject more each time to have the same effect. Finally, they stopped working at all and he was right back where he started.
Tom could not figure out why he was afflicted like this at such a young age. His ED came out of nowhere. He was healthy, he ate right and he had sex frequently. He did nothing to bring about the diabetes and nothing to bring about the ED.
Tom began to plunge further into despair. He felt like he was less of a man because he couldn’t even have normal intercourse, much less please a woman. He felt like it was something that he had done wrong. He felt ashamed that he could not sustain an erection. It started affecting his social life and he didn’t have such good luck with the ladies anymore. He felt bad about himself and it showed in the way he interacted with people. He became more and more depressed. He stopped having sex and even stopped going out. He felt hopeless.
He finally did something one day that changed everything. He read A Guide to Eliminating Erectile Dysfunction. Not only were the remedies natural with no side effects; they were more effective than all of the other procedures combined. Within weeks, he was dating again and he got his self-esteem back. His sex life flourished and he had even more success with the ladies as he did before.
