Hi all,
I'm asking these questions for my dad - he's not a computer guy and neither is my mom.
Dad is 60 and is starting to experience ED. Not a lack of 'want to' but 'can'. He is somewhat overweight, weighs btw 195 & 210 and has for many years.
His overall health is excellent - just had a stress test for insurance purposes and blew the testers out of the water. His cardiac fitness is amazing. He regularly walks 20 miles a day in the bush for work (like 3 times a week) and will backpack 20-40 miles into the mountains in a day with up to 100lbs in his pack. He sweats very easily and still works 12-15 hour days regularly. His latest adventure is scuba diving - he can stay down up to 2 hours on one tank. All his friends are btw 30 & 40 and he can outwalk and outplay them all.
He's busy like crazy, up early and out late, works long hours, plays 18 holes with whoever he can shanghai onto the course and just eats it all up. He doesn't get stressed (I think he works it all off in the bush.) He does have what I would consider diet issues. He forgets to eat, then eats toast & peanut butter.
His doctor tried him on Viagra - he got a very red face and got very sick, so that is out.
I'm leaning toward the excess weight being the proximate cause of the ED issue - too much estrogen production. Am I on the right track or should I be looking at something else first?
BTW - he can 'lose weight' easily. He just quits eating when he wants to do that.
