Hi, I've just registered but have looked at this great forumwith great interest.

There's so much information here but as someone who suffers a little from Dyslexia (as well as Peyronies), I find it a difficult to take in and relate the various posts to my situation. I have had Peyronies for about 6 years and it strikes me, reading many posts, there can be so many contributory factors impacting individuals.

Soooo, a potted history to explain how I got here:

I'm 56, always been happily single, very sexually active from age 16 to around 48, love the company of women, confident, aware etc
In my late 40's I started to notice a little more difficulty in maintaining an erection. Of course, once I became aware of this, the seed of doubt had been planted! I was introduced to Viagra and Cialis, both worked a treat!

Aged 50, I was in a relationship with a wonderful girl, intelligent, good looking, sexy and I had very strong feelings for her however I was finding it a bit of a chore to have sex. She was pretty demanding and I just didn't have the same interest, at least not as often as she wanted to.

During this relationship, we had an 'accident' during sex, her coming down abruptly on my erect penis causing a trauma to the shaft which resulted in Peyronies. I have or had all of the usual symptoms, plaque, bend, painful erections, loss of sensitivity, indentation, reduced size etc etc. It is no longer painful but I still have the rest of the symptoms.  I take Vitamin E supplement and I've tried a fairly cheap VED (no improvement experienced)

Five years on (relationship over) I feel my libido is less than 70% of what it was ten years ago, I have little sensitivity, I find it difficult to maintain an erection (even with Cialis) and I don't respond (psychologically) to arousing situations and images...
Some of this may be age related?

I feel there is a certain element of 'Catch 22' going on but I want to address the core issue so I can enjoy an active sex life for the foreseeable future.

My priorities are (in this order):

Improve my libido (Psychological?)
Improve sensitivity (medication?)
Maintain a lasting erection (probably would if more sensitive?)
Regain length and girth to forma glory!

I live in the UK so any medications and contraptions must be available here.

Anyone tried hypnotherapy for libido?

Any advice on my priorities would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Talmaaan,
I support you priority list..... but this should not imply you have to address these in a sequential manner. It is quite easy to address some of these in parallel.

First I agree that a decrease in libido and erection quality can definitely be age related. Things just don't work like the used too. But complicating this we start to stress on "is this right" and "is there something wrong with me". So I believe there is a strong mental factor that comes in to play here.

Second, when you are able to achieve and erection.... is it straight enough to have successful intercourse? You say you have a curve, but the amount of curvature is a strong factor. Guys with curves of say 30 degrees or less can quite successfully have intercourse. There is still the mental anguish of "I don't look like I used too".  If you curve is worse than this, then for sure I would pursue either traction or VED therapy. Both have pros and cons and are covered quite extensively in forum boards here.

There are several forum members here from the UK who I'm sure will be quite useful resources for you.

Thanks Les

The upward curve is not so pronounced now and doesn't prevent intercourse. There's a noticeable indentation about an half inch up from the base which is fairly pronounced (where the plaque is). To be honest I'm not too bothered about the bend, in fact I've suggested to any interested party that it is a real benefit in stimulating the G spot!
I don't believe I have an acute problem but I would like to address the lack of sensitivity if possible. I haven't seen anything in this forum regarding a universal treatment for lack of sensitivity.
Any suggestions very welcome

Talmaan,
Two of my biggest complaints about my Peyronies have similar to yours, loss of libido and loss of sensitivity.  I however cannot write it off as age related as for me began when I was in my young 20's... There are a few others on this site who have mentioned these symptoms, but it doesn't appear to be the norm...
Best of luck,
SSmithe

In addition to my ED, loss of morning/nocturnal erections, shrinking "cold shower" feeling penis, indentation and slight curve to the left, I also am suffering from the loss of sensitivity. Sometimes the sensitivity loss is worse than other times.

Lack of sensitivity useally means the nerves in the glans are not getting enough fresh blood flow or a nerve problem in your back. If you have low libido have your doctor check your testosterone levels.

Since my heart doctor put me on Lavaza it has helped me not only with difficult ejaculation but sensitivity as well. For more information go to  my blog http://jackp-penileimplant.blogspot.com/

I think that was the most disturbing thing I experienced having ED.ejaculating with a soft Peter but it can be done.Don't like it so I'm fighting back fighting with all weapons at hand. Be it ved or traction and cialis.

Playing the game and knowing where you have to go the price does not soften the blow.I know the travel will be tough but fifteen years of problem free sex almost seals the deal for me.Just one qeustion this is scary as hell isn't it?
