My arousal slowly just went away...?

@Tuatra I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I am a little puzzled: Is your arousal decreased during your Aneros sessions only or are you experiencing some overall form of ED now? One thing that comes to mind: are you experiencing your "normal" night-time erections? Do you have "morning wood"? How long have you been practicing Aneros? Do you feel that you are "re-wired"? All of this info. will be helpful to me as well as others who may offer their support! Glad to hear back from you!

Don't lose hope! Discovering the possibility of MMO gave me a sexual awakening, and I had a good amount of success in the first few months. Sadly, my arousal slowly and gradually decreased after that, which made me less and less responsive to any form of sexual stimulation. Eventually I completely lost my libido and even lost the ability to have an erection. Obviously this brought me a lot of frustration and made me scared that it'd be like this forever. There were no obvious reasons why it could be happening either. I was not under any stress, there were no psychological issues that weren't present before, etc.

Well, luckily I figured it out eventually. Turns out I was deficient in some nutrients, the most important one being vitamin D. After supplementing for a while my arousal started returning. It's not quite yet where it once was, but I'm sure it'll be there anytime soon!

So my suggestion is to try to think if you could be deficient in some nutrient such as vitamin D. That alone could easily kill your libido. If you don't mind spending some money on supplements, I'd also suggest taking fish oil. It may not be essential to survival, but it has given me an increase in libido for sure, though it seems like fairly high doses are needed. You could look up the Zaneblue orgasmic diet, that's where I got the idea from, there should be some threads on this forum regarding that.

Finally, do what you can to keep yourself healthy. Try to get some exercise every day, I do some push ups every day and it has a noticeable effect on both my libido and well being. Eat healthy food, and try to work out any psychological issue that could be weighing you down.

Good luck!

@goldenboy I guess it's a form of ED? Not really sure of what that may entail. I don't get erect unless I try to. I don't get morning wood, but I have in the past. I've probably been using aneros for about 2 years. Helix, then the progasm, started using a buttplug on occasion, and then the arousal slowly depleted and there isn't as much desire to pick it up. I want to say it's a time thing, but I can't really say that since the arousal is gone. Once I start watching some porn or whatever else I can get aroused just fine, but it feels like something is missing. I think I was on the path to being re-wired, but then I started masturbating normally since I didn't want to use the aneros as much.

@throwawayacc Thanks for your response. Yeah I would easily believe I'm low in *something*, but wouldn't really know what, I suppose I just have to try and boost my intake of nutrients.

@Tuatra I don't know your age but have you ever considered visiting a urologist? That's what they're there for! I had an issue with ED about a year ago and was given samples of Cialis! Wow did they work! I had a side-effect issue with them, however and had to stop. Just a consideration.

@Tuatra How are your everyday energy levels? Do you feel more tired than you used to?

I've always felt fairly tired, wouldn't say that has changed.

I drink a fair bit of soy milk and I've been reading about how that can affect estrogen/testosterone levels. I might switch over to another product like almond milk for a couple months and see if I can feel any difference.

EDIT: Actually I did a bit more research and the amount of soy milk I drink (250-350mL a day) is not enough to start being concerned. So back to no ideas haha

I went through about the same thing. After visiting the Dr and multiple test, we figured out that my testosterone levels were extremely low. I now get injections bi-weekly and they seem to help greatly. @goldenboy has mentioned, the ED meds out there work well also.

Careful soyboys! That stuff is an estrogen mimicker!

It doesn't sound like you have anything wrong with your chemicals. I suffer from ED and do take Viagra. You are able to get an erection and as you stated, you can get an erection if you try to. With real ED, you can't. I think much of your experience has to do with what is turning you on. What turned you on once might change over time. I fully believe it's in your head. It's what turns you on. Maybe get another toy to use in conjunction.
