I’ve made it fellas! Im back!

Hey guys, I wanted to share my experience with ED / sexual anxiety in case it helps someone.

For me, it started about 2 years ago. I didn’t have a girlfriend, felt lonely, and got deep into porn. I was watching daily… sometimes 2–3 times a day.

Eventually I started seeing a girl. Everything was fine until it came time to have sex—I couldn’t get an erection. I brushed it off and said I was sick, but deep down I knew something was off. We hung out a few more times but never got another chance to try.

Then I got into a long-distance relationship. When we finally met and tried to have sex, same thing happened. That’s when it really hit me—I had a problem. We saw each other a few times and tried multiple times, but nothing worked. I got completely in my head. Eventually, we broke up.

Last December I met my current girlfriend. First time we tried to have sex… same issue. That moment crushed me. I remember breaking down crying, feeling ashamed and frustrated.

But her reaction changed everything.

She told me she wasn’t upset, that she’d be patient, and that she just wished I had told her sooner so she didn’t feel like she pressured me. She asked what my plan was.

I told her I had been doing research and realized it wasn’t physical ED—it was sexual anxiety. I could get erections, just not maintain them when it mattered.

Since we were long distance, I had about 3 months before seeing her again. I used that time to actually work on myself:
• I cut out porn and stopped masturbating (had a few slips with IG, but way better than before)
• I identified boredom as my biggest trigger
• I started training hard in the gym, especially legs (squats, deadlifts)
• I added beetroot powder, L-citrulline, watermelon juice, and pomegranate juice

Fast forward to this weekend—I finally saw her again.

We had sex.

The first time, I lasted like 2 seconds… but I didn’t care. I was in. I had made it past the mental block.

The next day, we had sex twice. Both times I maintained my erection. The second time I lasted around 2–3 minutes.

Not perfect, but massive progress.

Honestly, her support played a huge role in all of this. And for the first time in a long time, I feel like I’m back in control.

btw i wrote this then summarized it with chatgpt… but if anything has any questions or anything they need help with, let me know.

Congrats man! Thx for sharing your experience!

Do you think L Citrulline made a difference? What’s it supposed to do, where do you get it?

Big work my man!!!
Those must have been the best two minutes!!

brooooooo…. honestly those two minutes i didnt even care… IT WAS THE FIRST SECONDS THE FIRST TIME… i literally lasted two seconds BUT it was like muscle memory… my dick was like: “ohhhhhhh yeahhhhhhh thats what it feels like!!” hahaaha it was amazing… after that moment i felt amazing… my gf was super happy too… best feeling ever.. and the yeah the second day lasting 2 minutes was a huge sucess… best feeling ever!

hey yeah i started doing research back in December about what else i could do to help my sexual anxiety as well as getting/maintaining good blood flow.

I think it all played a role—but not like one magic fix. It was more the combination of everything improving blood flow and how my body responds.

L-citrulline converts into arginine in your body, which boosts nitric oxide. That’s what relaxes your blood vessels and allows more blood flow—so that directly helps with getting and maintaining erections.

Beetroot (juice or powder) does something similar but from a different angle. It’s high in nitrates, which also convert into nitric oxide. So now you’re stacking multiple ways to improve circulation.

Watermelon actually has natural citrulline in it, so it’s like a lighter, natural version of the supplement—still helps with blood flow.

Pomegranate juice is more about long-term support. It’s high in antioxidants, which help protect and improve your blood vessels (endothelial function), so blood can flow more easily and efficiently.

But honestly, the biggest difference for me was leg workouts. Heavy squats, RDLs, leg press, etc. That kind of training:
• boosts testosterone
• improves overall circulation
• makes your body more responsive

After I started going hard on legs consistently, I noticed my erections were way stronger.

So for me it wasn’t just one thing—it was stacking everything:
better blood flow (supps + juices) + gym (especially legs) + getting out of my head + cutting out porn.

That combination is what actually made the difference.

I’m super proud of you

thank you!! i feel amazing!

Thanks a lot for sharing this. I’m so happy for you reading it. I think there is a message for many guys in a similar situation which is not much discussed. Of course many girls will judge you, and it is their right to do so, but many will not, and if you are able to explain things, and show courage in facing up to your issues, help and support you, even admire you for it

yeah!! her support has been huge to me… also i just got here from reading a guys story saying how he just tells new women hes with that he has performance anxiety and that has helped him a lot… i think as men, talking about that subject is a real test of our ego, but once you do it, i truly do believe it makes a huge difference.
