First and foremost let me say that I love my girlfriend with all my heart and she’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. She’s about 8 months pregnant. The pregnancy was a HUGE shock and I was really upset about it at first but in the last three months have become very happy and excited about being a dad. We’ve been together for over three years now and have always enjoyed a wonderful sex life. She’s been a wonderful sex partner and she’s always told me that I’ve been a wonderful sex partner for her. I guess I should also say that i’m 33 and she’s 25. The whole time we’ve been together we’ve never had a problem. About five weeks ago I started having erectile dysfunction. I started not feeling like having sex ever and when we tried I couldn’t maintain an erection. I don’t know what’s wrong. I think my g/f is beautiful and i’m happy about the baby and she’s been really wonderful and understanding about the whole ED thing. She tells me not to worry about it and that it will get back to normal, but it’s been 5 weeks, we’ve tried a bunch of times, and it hasn’t worked. We’ve tried hand jobs and blow jobs and I can get an erection with those and I also will ejaculate with those too, but when it comes to actually having sex my erection goes away as soon as we’re ready to do it. I’m not afraid of hurting the baby and i’m not uncomfortable about having sex with a pregnant person b/c for almost 7 months of the pregnancy we were having sex and I wanted it a lot. Out of no where this came up and i’m really frustrated and concerned. What should I do? Please help! Thanks, doc! I guess I should also mention that this happened with an ex-g/f about 4.5 years ago (she wasn’t pregnant) where I had the same problem for a few weeks, but after those few weeks everything went back to normal. Thanks again!

ANSWER
Yes, you are experiencing sexual exhaustion.

The negative effect of progesterone and estrogen in the pregnant women’s vagina secretion is capable of causing erectile dysfunction, especially if borderline androgen hormones levels accompanied with high inflammatory and stress hormones are present in the male. Your subconscious may have remembered the negative effect the vaginal secretions exerted on the local penile tissues, so it is actually protecting you. The recharging capabilities of the vaginal secretions on the local penile tissues and sexual energy transfer are not working properly if a woman is pregnant, having her period, angry, or not satisfied in any way – this in turn may drain the male sexual power much faster than it would have otherwise. The low libido is an indication of high prolactin and low dopamine levels.

The lowered androgen hormones production rate after certain age, the increased concentrations of estrogen and progesterone in your partner’s vagina, the individual gene expression, and the frequency of sexual activities steadily burned more neurotransmitters and hormones than your body can restore and have led to weak serotonin GABA nervous modulation on stress and inflammatory hormonal release, improper hypothalamic-piuitary-adrenal-testicular axis functioning for even less androgen hormones production, and high prolactin, prostaglandin E2, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and cortisol levels.
Every time a breaking point is reached, gets more and more difficult for an organism to fully recover.

A combination of Alpha-Amino, 5HTP-Nettle, Multi-Alpha, Alpha-AGH, Ultra-Purified-FishOil, and testicular cooling solutions will better nervous and endocrine functioning, unlock the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-testicular axis and increase androgen hormones production, restore proper acetylcholine, serotonin, dopamine, and GABA levels, restore proper modulation on stress and inflammatory hormonal release, lower prolactin, prostaglandin E2, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and cortisol levels, jump start the CNS, and increase prostaglandin E1 E3 and Nitric Oxide.
You should also avoid sexual stimulation for 1 to 3 months.

UPDATE
Thanks, Dr. Richard! I have a few questions for you. How often should I take all the supplements (daily or a few times a day)? How long should I take them (a few weeks or forever)? And in how long will I see results? And lastly, how long should I not have any type of sexual activity (with another person or myself)?
Thanks!!!!

ANSWER
My pleasure.
Alpha-Amino – 2 tablets throughout the day..
5HTP-Nettle – 1 capsule in the evening, during meals.
Multi-Alpha – 1 tablet in the morning, preferably during meals.
Alpha-AGH – 1 capsule in the morning.
Ultra-Purified-FishOil – 2 capsules a day, preferably after meals.

Positive effects will be observed immediately. However, they the products should be taken for 2 to 4 weeks for notable improvements, and other 1 to 2 months to fully restore proper functioning. After that’s done, one should just then regulate the frequency of sexual activities. In case of overactive sexual activities, they might be taken to avoid similar outcome.

You should make a conscious effort to abstain for 10 days to 2 weeks at least.
