> [@Gonzori](#): > > Hi there. Lately i have been having some problems in the bed department. Sometimes i can’t get hard, and really often when i do manage to get hard it’s for a really short time and it’s really getting me down… Better be careful, or they won’t let you back in that department store! Seriously, problems like these could be physiological or psychological. Do you have them just with a partner, or also when you’re taking matters into your own hands? With the same partner, or in the same sort of circumstances every time, or do they vary? > [@](#): > > So i decided to try out with some herbs but wanted to ask from some opinions first. So what are your opinions on them? Here are a couple of (AFAIK) reputable medical sites on herbal remedies for erectile dysfunction: [Erectile dysfunction herbs: A natural treatment for ED?](http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/erectile-dysfunction/in-depth/erectile-dysfunction-herbs/art-20044394) (from the Mayo Clinic) [Natural Remedies for Erectile Dysfunction](http://www.webmd.com/erectile-dysfunction/features/natural-remedies-for-erectile-dysfunction) from WebMD. Note that there’s been some recent controversy over whether the herbal supplements sold in stores actually contain the stuff they’re supposed to contain. ---

Sorry to hear you’re having trouble. In my case I seem to have lost pretty much ALL of my carnal desire and I don’t view it as a problem at all. Even the one thing (BOOBS!) that was almost 100% guaranteed to “get me goin’” for DECADES now doesn’t really do anything for me. Over the last few years I’ve realized that many things that I’ve loved for years my brain has all of the sudden decided I don’t like anymore (milk, English muffin and egg breakfasts, M&Ms…). Now that has moved over into earthly pleasure of the fleshy kind. I guess it was just a matter of time. ---

Lol thanks for all of your opinions guys i really appreciate it 🙂 For clarification the problems i’m having are both by myself and with my partner and yes i’m considering going to the doctor. But while i was searching for answers on the internet i stumbled on this site [Natural Aphrodisiacs](http://www.naturalaphrodisiacs.net/) and it seems interesting. Has any one tried any?
