How to Tell if You Have Erectile Dysfunction. Alright lads, it’s time for a little trouser check. Things going stiff down there or is it more like a wet noodle? I had some issues rising to the occasion myself, so I’ve put together this guide to help determine if you’re dealing with full-on erectile dysfunction or just having an off day.
I went straight to my mate Nigel, resident expert on all things todger related, to get the low down. He’s always lurking about on the naughty sites and forums, gathering intel to share with us sorry sods. When I told him over a pint about my flagging fella, he laughed and said I didn’t know my arse from my elbow.
What is Erectile Dysfunction?
As Nigel explained, erectile dysfunction (ED) is when you can’t get hard or finish the job on multiple occasions. So a one-off flop doesn’t count.
For me, everything started off chipper, soldier standing at attention ready for action. But right when it came time for lift off, he decided to have a lie down, leaving me high and dry mid-session. I broke out in a cold sweat – this meant I had “the dreaded ED” right? Not so fast.
The key aspect of erectile dysfunction is it’s an ongoing issue. If it only happens once in a blue moon, no need to panic. Most blokes have the occasional off day, it’s nothing serious.
Common Erectile Dysfunction Symptoms:
- Inability to achieve or maintain an erection
- Premature ejaculation
- Low sex drive
- Delayed ejaculation
- Dying at the entrance (but only if it keeps happening)
- And other performance issues
The symptoms need to be frequent, not just a one-time deal. If you’re consistently having problems like the above even when flying solo, see a doctor.
A Simple Test for Erectile Dysfunction
Nigel gave me a mini ED test with two questions:
“Do you still get morning wood?”
I said yeah, I’ll often wake up with a stiffy, though not every day. He explained morning wood is normal and shows your equipment is in working order.
“And when you’re polishing the banister by yourself, does it stand tall?”
I reassured him when I’m spanking the monkey there are no issues – full mast achieved.
So here’s the diagnosis:
- If you still get morning wood and have no problems taking matters into your own hands, you likely don’t have ED.
BUT
- If you have ongoing symptoms like the ones mentioned earlier even during solo play, you may need to explore solutions like ED meds or devices.
I decided to test the waters solo to check for any persistent issues. Good news – no problems arose! I poured myself some Dutch courage, initiated lift off with the wife, and completed the mission successully just like old times.
For most men, the occasional bedroom blunder is nothing to fret about. But if problems persist even when flying solo, it’s worth looking into treatments to get your wingman back on track. We’ll chat more about that another time.
For now, hope this helps explain the difference between occasional erection troubles and full-blown erectile dysfunction! Let me know if anything is unclear – we can ask Nigel for a more in-depth explanation.
