    Hi Guys - longing to have a child for very long. My spouse has been on some treatment and things are improving for her - my semen analysis came out normal. But - I can’t have a strong erection due to PmO. It feels very depressive seeing my wife going through pain and always telling the problem is in her - little does she know I am just not able to get it up right to help her conceive. Very depressed for not being able to share this with her - and still seeing her go through. Please advise me guys - depression is leading me into smoking and edgin more often than ever. Pm without orgasm is ruining my erection even more - even viagara seems to be of no use.

    Be open. When you're intimate with someone, especially at the marriage level you're at, you both need to be vulnerable and open to each other. Problems in the bedroom are usually more "uncomfortable" because it's never talked about and often kept in complete blackness like nothing ever happened. Most people don't even talk about sex, let alone something more deep, unsettling and possibly embarrassing regarding the whole topic. You don't have to spill all your guts out but get to a state of comfortable openness where you don't feel ashamed or like you are hiding something.

    The easiest thing you can do is stop PMO right now. Right now. Maybe just take a tiny pause on the whole contraception thing and focus on yourself, rebooting and healthy intimacy? And yes, edging does make it worse

    Ed-cure-pills affect the physical roots of ED. Yours isn't physical, it's mental. There's no mental ED-cure-pill. The only thing you can do is stop looking at porn. Clear your mind, clear your conscience, clear your guilt. You have a beautiful wife who wants you and desperately needs you. Snap out of it, dude. Porn is fake, it's a wall, it's a barrier. Don't erect that barrier between you and someone you care about. I've put one up for a decade, and I'm fucking miserable.

    Do you see how you are trapping yourself? You feel depressed, because you cannot get an erection. As a result you edge even more, which worsens your erection in the long run. Then you feel even more depressed and so on. You need to get out of this, and I reckon the only way to do this is by telling your wife about your fears.

    Why do you think that you cannot share this with her? Is it maybe because you feel ashamed? We often punish ourselves harder than others. I see men describing themselves as failures, because they lose their jobs and cannot provide for their families. Or because they never had sex, because they are addicted to gambling, or whatever. Everyone thinks that his shortcomings are the worst and nobody could accept them precisely because of these flaws, but in my experience people are very welcoming if we make ourselves vulnerable by opening up. Maybe your wife can support you through this difficult phase of yours, who knows? She would not be the first SO :)

    Thanks guys and it is indeed the fear to lose/ dent the relation that is creating more and more depression by the day. I have stopped mastrubation for over 2 weeks now, but stopped edging only 2 days back. And true that - I read and read and understood that viagara is no cure for this. It’s in my mind, it’s getting over me and taking over my life bit by bit. Today I did tell my wife softly that I will abstain for a few days and she was cool with it - she is really supportive and it’s me who has been on the downside. Yes, it’s guilt but I want to dust off and give it a fresh start to turn things around. I can and I will and sharing things in open on this forum is really a great support and I hope there would be a day - where I will share my success story as well. You guys are awesome, a complete stop to Porn - edging - PMO day three today. One step at a time, but I see light at the end of this tunnel. And if I ever am depressed, I have a group to freely ask and stay strong.
