In-Depth Research on ED Erectile Disfunction and Drugs

I have many clients and during their massages they talk about so many different things. I had a client mention ED Erectile Disfunction and drugs to help ED and improve sex, so I wanted to do some in-depth research as this is what I found. It’s a complicated subject so this post will be added to as time permits.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To maintain an erection urologist recommend using these.

Do ED rings work?
 

Limited studies have explored rings alone as an ED treatment.

The Urology Care Foundation (UCF) reports that using an ED ring and a pump is effective and safe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A 2022 case report and literature review also claimed that ED rings can be effective in improving ED and other sexual health issues, such as climacturia, which is when a person leaks urine as they ejaculate.

However, the case report notes the dangers of using metal penis rings, which can cause severe health complications if they become stuck.

If a person gets their penis stuck in an ED ring, they should seek immediate medical assistance.

ED rings work best for people with ED who can get an erection but not maintain it. However, they do not work for everyone.

According to BMJ Journals, ED is one of the most common conditions among middle-aged and older males. In this article, we look in more detail at what urologists can do for ED, how to find a urologist, and the treatments a urologist may recommend.

Urologists specialize in treating conditions that affect the urinary tract and the male reproductive system, including ED. A urologist can diagnose ED and investigate what is causing it. They do this by:

  • Taking a medical history: Urologists will take a detailed medical history to understand how ED affects a person and whether they have any pre-existing health conditions. They will also ask questions about sexual activity to establish the issues a person is experiencing, such as erections, ejaculation, or sexual desire.
  • Performing a physical exam: A urologist will perform a physical exam to check for signs of an underlying illness, such as a person’s blood pressure and heartbeat. They will also look at the penis and testicles to check their appearance and sensitivity to touch and may test the prostate for enlargement.
  • Blood and urine tests: If necessary, a urologist may order tests that measure blood sugar levels, cholesterol levels, hormone levels, and liver, kidney, or thyroid function.
  • Injection test: This test involves a doctor injecting medicine that causes an erection into the base of the penis. If an erection does not result, it may suggest there is a problem with blood flow.
  • Penile Doppler ultrasound: For this test, a doctor injects medicine that produces an erection into the penis. They then use ultrasound to see how well blood flows in and out of the penis through the arteries and veins.

The results of these tests will help the urologist identify the potential causes for someone’s ED and recommend the best course of treatment.

Treatment options

There are a variety of treatment options for ED. A urologist will recommend treatments according to what is causing the dysfunction.

Treatments for underlying conditions

Several health conditions and lifestyle factors can cause or worsen ED, such as:

If a urologist finds evidence of a health condition that could play a role in a person’s ED, they will recommend treating or managing it. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)Trusted Source, this may include:

  • taking medication to lower blood pressure, cholesterol, or blood sugar levels
  • taking hormones to boost testosterone or thyroid function
  • changing existing drugs if ED could be a side effect
  • counseling or psychotherapy to address mental health conditions

A person may also benefit from making lifestyle changes, such as:

  • reducing alcohol intake
  • stopping smoking or recreational drug use
  • reaching or maintaining a moderate weight
  • beginning regular exercise, if possible

Medications

One of the main treatments for ED are phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors. These medications increase blood flow to the penis to help people get or maintain an erection. They include:

People with ED can take PDE5 inhibitors several hours before sexual activity. It is also possible to obtain suppositories or injectable medications for ED, such as TriMix, Edex, or Caverject. Urologists recommend trying these if oral PDE5 inhibitors do not work.

PDE5 inhibitors are available only via a prescription from a doctor. Most over-the-counter (OTC) supplements marketed as ED treatments are unproven and may be harmful.

In 2009, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)Trusted Source found that numerous “natural” ED remedies contained unlisted drugs.

Medical devices

An option for people who prefer not to take medication is a pump that pulls blood into the penis via suction. This creates an erection, which a person maintains by placing an elastic ring around the base of the penis.

Penile implant surgery

For some people, penile implant surgery may be an option. Penile implants allow a person to create an erection even if other methods do not work.

Inflatable penile implants include a pump that a surgeon places inside the scrotum, which a person can then use to pump fluid into implants in the penis. Releasing a valve then allows the fluid to drain back into a reservoir. Other types of implants are semi-rigid and stay firm all the time.

Penile implants do not address aspects of sexual health such as sensation or sexual desire, but they make it possible to create erections without taking medication or planning in advance.

Scientists are also investigating other treatments for ED. In the future, a person may be able to receive:

  • stem cell therapy, which could help someone grow new blood vessels
  • low-intensity shockwave therapy, which may make people more responsive to ED medication
  • gene therapy, which could address genetic causes for ED

However, these treatments are currently still in the development phase.

Other doctors that can help with ED

As well as urologists, other doctors may be involved in the diagnosis and management of ED. These include:

  • primary care doctors
  • cardiologists, if cardiovascular disease is a factor
  • endocrinologists, who treat hormone conditions
  • mental health professionals, such as a psychologist or counselor

 

ED Erectile Disfunction

What is the main cause of erectile dysfunction?
  1. inability of a man to maintain an erection sufficient for satisfying sexual activity.
    “a treatment proven safe for erectile dysfunction”
Physical issues like heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and smoking can all cause erectile dysfunction. On the other hand, depression, anxieties, stress, relationship problems, and other mental health concerns can also interfere with sexual feelings.
 
What happens when a man’s testosterone is low?
 
Low testosterone levels in males can lead to erectile dysfunction. They can also affect sleep, mood, the size of the testicles, and more. In both males and females, low testosterone can lead to lower bone mass and reduced sex drive.
 
Can psychogenic ED be cured?
 
Just like erectile dysfunction that’s caused by physical health issues, psychological ED is almost always treatable.
 

What is Psychogenic – Porn and maturation, prolactin, neural wiring, dopamine wave pool.

What prescribed drugs are used for psychogenic erectile dysfunction?

 

How oral medications differ

 

Although they work in similar ways, each oral medication has a slightly different chemical makeup. These minor differences affect the way each medication works, such as how quickly it takes effect and wears off, and the potential side effects. Your doctor will consider these factors as well as other conditions you have and possible interactions with other medications you take.

 
  • Sildenafil (Viagra). This medication is most effective when taken on an empty stomach one hour before sex. It’s effective for four to five hours or more if you have mild to moderate erectile dysfunction.

  • Vardenafil (Levitra, Staxyn). This medication also is most effective when taken one hour before sex and can be taken with or without food. A high-fat meal might keep it from absorbing as quickly.

    Vardenafil is effective for four to five hours or more if you have mild to moderate erectile dysfunction. A newer form of the drug that dissolves on the tongue might work faster than the pill that you swallow.

  • Tadalafil (Cialis). This medication is taken with or without food about one to two hours before sex. It’s effective for up to 36 hours. It can be taken in a small dose daily or in a larger dose as needed.
Does Cialis get you harder than Viagra?
 
So to answer the above question, NO, Viagra would not necessarily give a stronger erection than Cialis, and vice versa. However, Cialis will last longer and can help achieve one or more erections for up to 36 hours. This is considerably longer than Viagra, which is typically effective for 4-6 hours.
 
Is there an ED drug better than Viagra?
 
Cialis has comfortably the longest effectiveness period of any erectile dysfunction drug on the market.
 
  • Avanafil (Stendra). This medication is taken with or without food 30 minutes before sex, depending on the dose. It lasts up to six hours.

Because these drugs are similarly effective, the American College of Physicians recommends that the choice be based on your preferences, including cost, ease of use, how long the drug’s effects last and side effects. There are generic versions of sildenafil, vardenafil and tadalafil available.

When oral medications might not be safe

 

Before taking any medication for erectile dysfunction, get your doctor’s OK. Medications for erectile dysfunction might not work or might be dangerous if you:

  • Take nitrate drugs — commonly prescribed for chest pain (angina) — such as nitroglycerin (Nitro-Dur, Nitrostat, others), isosorbide mononitrate (Monoket) and isosorbide dinitrate
  • Have very low blood pressure (hypotension) or uncontrolled high blood pressure (hypertension)
  • Have severe liver disease
  • Have kidney disease that requires dialysis
 

Side effects

 

Most men who take oral erectile dysfunction medications aren’t bothered by side effects. When side effects do occur, they can include:

  • Flushing
  • Headache
  • Indigestion
  • Visual changes, such as blue tinge to vision, sensitivity to light or blurred vision
  • Stuffy or runny nose
  • Back pain
 

Rarely, more-serious side effects can occur, including:

  • Hearing loss or vision loss. Some men have had sudden loss of hearing or loss of vision after taking one of these medications. However, it isn’t clear whether vision or hearing loss was directly caused by taking the medication or by a preexisting condition. If you’re taking an oral erectile dysfunction medication and have sudden loss of hearing or vision, seek prompt medical attention.
  • An erection that doesn’t go away on its own. Called priapism, this rare condition can be painful and requires medical treatment to avoid damage to your penis. If you have an erection that lasts more than four hours, seek immediate medical attention.

Buying oral erectile dysfunction medications online

 

Treatments for erectile dysfunction are big business, and online scams abound. If you do buy medications over the internet:

  • Check to see if an online pharmacy is legitimate. Never order medications from an online pharmacy if there’s no way to contact the pharmacy by phone, if prices seem too good to be true or if you’re told no prescription is necessary. Some illegal businesses sell counterfeit versions of legitimate medications, which can be ineffective or dangerous. In the U.S., the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy can tell you whether an online pharmacy is licensed and in good standing.
  • Make sure you get the right prescription and dose. When you order medications — and when you receive them in the mail — make sure they’re the exact dose and type prescribed by your doctor.
  • Don’t be fooled into buying ‘herbal Viagra.’ Never take any medications that claim to be the “herbal” or nonprescription equivalent of an oral medication for erectile dysfunction. These aren’t an effective alternative, and some contain harmful substances.

Amphetamines are stimulant drugs, which means they speed up the messages travelling between the brain and the body. Amphetamines increase dopamine and serotonin levels – the feel-good chemicals in the brain.
 
Do amphetamines cause erectile dysfunction?
 
Adderall, which contains the ingredients amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, is a stimulant medication that’s used to treat ADHD. While Adderall is effective as an ADHD treatment, it can cause certain side effects, including a risk of sexual side effects such as erectile dysfunction.
 
Can Adderall make you not get hard?
 
Adderall can cause erectile dysfunction as it impacts the cardiovascular system. It affects blood flow and the constriction of blood vessels which may impede your ability to develop and maintain an erection.
 
Can Adderall make sex better?
 
Among men who took 2.5 to 10 mg doses of the drug 1 to 2 hours before sexual activity, roughly half reported improvement in delayed orgasm or anorgasmia. Anorgasmia is delayed, infrequent or absent orgasms — or significantly less-intense orgasms — after sexual arousal and adequate sexual stimulation. Women who have problems with orgasms and who feel significant distress about those problems may be diagnosed with anorgasmia.
 
Do ADHD meds help with sex?
 
By far, the most common is that sex becomes better because the ADDer isn’t distracted in the middle of making love. Medication helps patients — men and women — focus, pay attention, suppress distractions, and stay in the moment.
 
What drugs help relax during sex?
 
Priligy or EMLA – if your anxiety is making you orgasm too quickly, these medications could help you last longer in bed.
 
How long does it take amphetamines to start working?
 
“Amphetamines like Adderall begin to work within 30 minutes to an hour. Non-stimulants like Strattera can take 4 to 8 weeks to reach maximum effectiveness at the proper dose.”
 
Do amphetamines act as a dopamine?
 
Amphetamine (AMPH) exerts its rewarding and reinforcing effects by elevating extracellular dopamine (DA) and prolonging DA receptor signaling in the striatum. Traditionally, AMPH has been characterized as a DA releaser that elevates DA by three major mechanisms
 
Do amphetamines affect testosterone?
 
Effects on Testosterone Production. In vivo and in vitro studies demonstrated that amphetamine decreases testosterone production and increases the generation of testicular cyclic AMP in rats.
 
Why do amphetamines wake you up?
 
Amphetamine-like stimulants are known to increase wakefulness by blocking dopamine reuptake, by stimulating dopamine release, or by both mechanisms. Modafinil may increase wakefulness through activation of noradrenergic and dopaminergic systems, possibly through interaction with the hypocretin/orexin system.
 
 
Cocaine
 
Many stimulant users experience strong aphrodisiac effects from cocaine and methamphetamine use. The combination of increased sex drive and reduced inhibitions often results in compulsive, hypersexual behaviors.
 
Cocaine is a potent psycho-stimulant that boosts dopamine levels by inhibiting dopamine transporters. It has been often linked to enhanced libido and risk-taking behavior in humans. Cocaine has been observed to increase sexual arousal or to trigger spontaneous erections and orgasms.
 

Cocaine use can also increase the risk of engaging in unsafe sexual practices. Cocaine can impair judgment and decision-making, leading individuals to engage in risky behaviors that they may not otherwise engage in while sober. In addition, cocaine can increase libido, leading individuals to engage in more frequent sexual activity, which can increase the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unintended pregnancy.

Cocaine use can also interfere with the body’s ability to experience physical sensations, including the sensation of pleasure during sexual activity. This can lead individuals to engage in more dangerous and extreme sexual behaviors, increasing the risk of physical harm, including tearing of the anus or vagina and other types of injury. The use of cocaine can have a profound impact on a person’s sexual health and well-being, increasing the risk of dangerous and unsafe sexual practices.

Methamphetamine
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meth can increase sexual drive and lead to more pleasurable sexual experiences because of the increase in dopamine it creates in the body. However, if in meth addiction, sexual health can be affected by a high risk of unprotected sexual activity and erectile dysfunction.

One of the most known side effects of meth use is an increase in energy. One of the results of this effect of meth is a heightened sexual desire.

Similar to other illicit drugs, methamphetamine abuse often occurs before a long night of partying or clubbing. Stimulants lower inhibitions, making it easier to socialize with potential sexual partners.

Though the confidence-inducing and hyperactive effects of methamphetamine may seem beneficial, there can be negative impacts on sexual activity in the long run.

Several sexual health problems can arise from long-term methamphetamine use and other substance abuse. Below we’ll explore the connection between meth and sex.

How Meth Effects Sexual Behavior

Smoking crystal meth or any other form of methamphetamine creates a slew of pleasurable feelings. Some feel so euphoric that they seek out sexual partners.

There are positive and negative effects methamphetamine can have on sexual behavior. Some start to smoke meth to make sex more enjoyable.

However, as substance use continues, meth can create mental health problems, leading to a tarnished sexual life.

Short-Term Effects Of Meth On Sexual Behavior

When ingested, meth can make someone feel wide awake with lots of energy. At first, this can seem like the perfect substance to mix with sex.

With the intense rush of dopamine meth causes, sex, something that also creates dopamine in the brain, feels better. Sexual stamina also increases from meth.

Some of the perceived positive short-term effects of methamphetamine on sexual behavior are:

  • ability to last longer
  • stronger orgasms
  • increased sex drive
  • more sexual agency
  • confidence to approach potential partners
  • lowering inhibitions to try out new sexual experiences

Long-Term Negative Effects Of Meth On Sexual Behavior

At first, meth may be abused to enhance sexual activities. But because methamphetamine is a highly addictive stimulant drug, a person can quickly become dependent on its effects.

As someone abuses more meth, the brain can only receive dopamine from drug abuse. Instead of being interested in sex, the brain’s cravings for meth will overcome any other urges.

Additionally, while meth can make someone more confident, it can also cause them to engage in more dangerous sexual risk behaviors.

Some find they need multiple sexual partners to become satisfied. Engaging with many partners increases HIV risk as well as other sexually transmitted diseases (STD).

Negative long-term effects of methamphetamine use are:

  • erectile dysfunction
  • lowered sexual desire
  • diminished sexual pleasure
  • weaker orgasms
  • fertility issues
  • aggressive sexual acts and other risky sexual behavior

Methamphetamine dependence also damages physical appearance. It has drastic effects on someone’s skin, mouth, and eyes.

Psychological impacts such as meth-induced psychosis can induce feelings of skin crawling, paranoia, mood swings, and depression. Eventually, these mental effects drown out any sexual feelings.

A person may become completely dependent on meth to feel sexual pleasure. Many feel they need crystal methamphetamine or other psychoactive drugs to perform sexually.

Meth And Sexual Orientation

New studies show a connection between methamphetamine addiction and people experimenting with sexual orientation.

Because meth can make someone go outside their comfort zone, some find they are changing sexual prevalence.

Homosexuality and meth shouldn’t be viewed as synonymous. People of all orientations, races, and gender use meth, it should never be stigmatized as limited to one group.

However, there is a vast wave of meth use amongst gay and bisexual men. Online forums, dating apps, and video chats often host sex and meth parties.

Meth abuse encourages unprotected sex. This can increase the chance of HIV-positive people and those with sexually transmitted infections (STIs) engaging in sex under the influence of meth.

This risky sexual behavior has created public health crises with increasing STI and HIV infection cases in the gay community.

So while this issue is certainly not limited to bisexual and gay men, it does reveal the importance of educating certain populations on the dangers of meth abuse and introducing harm reduction interventions for at-risk communities.

Meth And Porn Addiction

Meth’s effects can fuel porn addiction and masturbation. Similar to sex, porn releases dopamine in the brain, which can exacerbate if mixed with methamphetamine.

Some people high on drugs feel porn to be an easier and more enjoyable sexual release than finding sex partners.

They believe porn’s voyeurism and the one-sided experience of masturbation to be a perfect companion of meth.

Cocaine’s Effects On Sexual Drive and Health

 

 

Ketamine

Ketamine is also known as: K, Special K, Vitamin K.

K is an anaesthic – it’s sometimes referred to as ‘horse tranquilizer’. It’s one of the chems used in dance clubs or during sex.

Ketamine can come as a powder or a liquid that’s dried to make the powder.

Sex on Ketamine

Although ketamine can make you feel horny, it can make it difficult to get a hard-on or come. K is used by some vaginal fisters as it relaxes muscles. As the drug makes you feel less pain, rough sex can lead to damage (eg. inside your srase) or cuts and bleeding that aren’t noticed. This may mean more risk of HIV, hepatitis C and other infections being passed on.

Ketamine can lower your inhibitions, which might lead to unsafe sex.

Taking Ketamine

As a powder K can be snorted (known as a bump) or added to drinks (but not alcohol). It can be smoked if the powder’s mixed in a joint with cannabis and tobacco. Ketamine powder can also be mixed with water and injected into a muscle (but never a vein). K can also come as a pill.

Highs and Lows

Ketamine can boost your energy levels (in small doses), or make you feel high, numb, cut off from your body, or in a dreamy, floating state. K can cause hallucinations and an out of body experience (sometimes described as like entering a different reality, meeting God, aliens, etc.).

The effects last for 45-90 minutes if snorted and up to three hours if injected or swallowed.

Side effects of K can include dizziness, feeling sick, throwing up (risky as you might choke on your vomit if you’ve passed out), feeling disorientated, blurred sight and speech.

A large enough dose can cut you off from your surroundings and sense of self. This is called a K hole can can last up to 90 minutes. You might find it hard or impossible to move or talk. Swallowing or breathing can be difficult.

A Long Term Relationship?

Overdose deaths are rare, but you can build up a tolerance to K, with more needed to get the same results. Some people become dependant on it. Using ketamine long term might cause anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts or memory loss.

Ketamine with Other Drugs

Depressants (‘downers’ like alcohol, GHB/GBL, Valium, barbituates) – as K and other depressants slow the body and its functions down, the combined effect can knock you out and/or slow your breathing to a dangerous level.

HIV drugs – some of these, especially protease inhibitors, can cause higher levels of ketamine in your body.

Tobacco/cannabis – smoking cigarettes or joints carries a risk of fires (if K makes you unable to move) or burns (if K’s anaesthic effect stops you feeling a burn).

Useful to Know

Someone in a K hole should be taken away from music and bright lights and reassured it’ll be over soon and they’ll be OK.

Injecting K is best avoided. It’s more likely to lead to a dependence or overdose.

If you share your injecting equipment there’s a real risk of getting or passing on infections such as HIV or hepatitis C. Injecting can also cause skin abscesses, blood poisoning, life-threatening blood clots or heart infections.

K should be avoided by people who have fits, high blood pressure or heart or liver problems.

The Law

Ketamine is a class C drug.
