I posted a question here before seeking advice on dealing with ED. I'm 44, healthy with no use of prescription drugs. But I had been experiencing difficulty in achieving or maintaining erection. I had to resort to Viagra.
But recently, I gained the erection of my youth back, without using any drugs. How I did it is through exercise to regain my leg muscle tone: squatting, jumping, and if you are flexible enough, do splits. And what also really helped: wearing compression hose. Medical compression hose are very expensive, I found the regular women's support pantyhose are just as effective. I wear Legg's Sheer Energy from Walmart, you need to get the support type, either medium or active (full support). Regular pantyhose without support compression won't work. If you have hairy legs like I do, you need to get rid of the hair-shaving, epilating - to make hose stick to your skin. No need to be embarrassed to wear women't hose-because we need it and there's no men's hose on the market. It's summer now and I wear it under shorts every day. When asked I just tell them it's for improving my circulation and muscle tone.
My wife and I go swimming every other day and I had always out swam her in the past. But after I turned 42, I started slowing down and she out swam me for the past 2 years-loosing leg muscle tone seemed a natural phenomenon when people age and she is 10 years younger. If I kick too hard when swimming, my legs get cramps and I have to slow down. And I could not lift as my weight as before-mainly due to my diminished leg strength, not arm or back. Now with adequate exercise and wearing hose, I out swim my wife again. And with regained leg muscle tone, I no longer need Viagra in bed.
Just want to share my findings with fellow males out there. Leg exercise, compression hose, either works for me, both are the best. I try to exercise as much as I can, and I never go out without wearing hose every day.
