Yeah I know this is super embarrassing and yes I am seeing my dr soon about it.. I've recently gotten on a low dose antidepressant (pristiq 25mg) for anxiety and depression and I've had sex twice since then with two different beautiful women, and both times couldn't stay hard, the second time even without a condom on.. just wanted to see if anyone here has experienced the same thing and overcame it? I'm gonna get my testosterone/estrogen levels checked soon and see what else my dr recommends, but man there ain't much else that is as humiliating than this thats for sure.. still able to please and give the girls orgasms, but not being able to finish or even stay hard during sex is the worst feeling ever. My sleep is fucked lately too so that I know can't help the situation..plus stress.. but yeah, appreciate any positive feedback Boys, thank you.

It probably is the anti-depressants but I can tell you the two things that helped me a lot.
Consistent sleep schedule. Go to bed around the same time every night (within the hour). 7-8 hours of sleep
Aerobic exercise. When I had ED I was lifting weights but the rest of my lifestyle was very sedentary. I started running every other day and after a couple weeks of that and getting good sleep, I was back to normal. My erections were actually stronger than they were before the ED.
