My weak erections began last year during a time of high stress and anxiety when I was unemployed.
I got a good job and the stress went away, but the weak erections persisted, so I saw a doctor. I took a blood test which came back normal, and he prescribed me viagra which has been reasonably effective.
Yet still to this day I feel like I can't get natural full strength boners. I don't think it's performance anxiety, since my recent sexual encounters have gone well in that I've been lasting a long time. It's like it's harder to get aroused, and no I don't gorge on porn. Should I see a therapist or something?
it sounds like it's latent and psychological. I would see a therapist. and cut out porn completely and forever. that shit is terrible for you, fuck what anyone else says.

Genuinely curious, how exactly is it terrible? Have there been studies done?

How old are you? It's normal for some guys to need a little more time to get fully hard. Practice playing with your penis, training your mind and body to respond.

I'm 29 going on 30, so I'm hoping I'm still young enough to overcome this issue.

ED is most common over the age of 40 so you've got give or take 10 years to play around and figure out what works

I offer no solution only solidarity. I'm on testosterone with normal levels and nothing gets me hard. Ive even taken a couple mega doses with no change. The desire is there but not the drive. I blame work stress and my fat ass wife. Haven't looked at porn in months.

OP here
>The desire is there but not the drive
Basically this. I know I want to get hard and have sex, but my body seems to resist. So frustrating. I think work stress may be a contributor.
Never thought of taking testosterone, but Id be wanting to talk to a doc again before attempting.
I also have a suspicion that back when my life was at rock bottom, I began to resent absolutely everything, including women. This mindset may still have a hold on me

This, so hard. I'm going to the doctor for the first time over break, any tips on what I should say/ask?

No advice except be careful with a GP prescribing testosterone. They think it's a cure all. My nuts are shrinking but I'm making serious gains at the gym but no change with my dick. I'm very very seriously considering hiring a hot hooker, explaining to her the situation, and seeing if anything different happens.
Fwiw, I am very healthy. I run marathons and a BMI of 26.
The armchair shrink in me suspects some resentment with the old lady. The hooker should confirm.
