Thanks for the tips. I do take meds that can affect performance and some depression. I was really wondering if anything natural could help, of course exercise is the answer to many problems we have.
I will try cialis ,instead of viagra.
Thanks again for the genuine replies.
Ty, not to get too personal on a public board, but I'll throw out a couple of more ideas. The most common medication that can be the culprit is a group of meds called beta blockers. If you are on one of these, you should have a frank discussion with your docs about this side effect. Many patients that are on beta blockers can easily be switched to others and in many cases, beta blockers may not even be the best choice for them in the first place. If you are on it for blood pressure control, beta blockers are slowly falling out of favor for such indication, and absolutely should be switched (in general) to a different agent with less side effects, especially in younger individuals if impotence, fatigue, or depression develop while on beta blockers. On the other hand, certain patients may do better on a beta blocker if it is for angina, recent heart attack, certain heart rhythm problems, etc. As you see, many variables need to be considered in developing a logical plan of action, but in so many cases, instead of removing the offending agent causing a problem, a new drug gets added, such as cialis in this case.
Here's a cascade of events that are not too far-fetched:
Middle-aged man comes in for checkup and is found to have high blood pressure.
Amlodipine is prescribed by the doc along with a low salt diet and exercise.
4wks later, ankle swelling develops (side effect of amlodipine) and the patient is prescribed a diuretic.
8wks later, heartburn develops (also can be a side effect of amlodipine) and the patient is given a prilosec or similar.
A few months later, palpitations develop (due to electrolyte depletion from the diuretic) and the patient is given a beta blocker to help reduce the skipped beats.
Several weeks later, the patient develops depression, erectile dysfunction and some asthma and is given Zoloft or similar, viagra or similar, and some inhalers.
The inhalers worsen the palpitations and the patient is given....
Well, you get the idea. Fortunately, most docs will have the knowledge to stop this circus act from the beginning rather than let it get out of hand as in this example, but once in a while it occurs...

Long-term alcohol abuse is a major cause of male impotence....
Alcoholism also disrupts hormone levels, in particular, testosterone and estrogen. Low levels of testosterone diminish sexual drive and function.
Depression, stress and anxiety are often cited as reasons for excessive drinking. But these same psychological factors are also leading causes of impotence. So it should come as no surprise that heavy drinkers are more susceptible to alcohol impotence.
...the bottom line is that at best excess alcohol leads to chronic sexual under-performance and at worst chronic alcohol impotence.
