It sounds like you're in pretty good form overall, but this phenomenon we're talking about is a marvel of hormones, nerves and circulation - and diabetes plays holy hell with all of those. I did read up on it when I got concerned and there does appear to be a wide range of treatments of varying ease of use and effectiveness. I did go as far as having my testosterone levels checked and they were fine. I got my diagnosis three years ago (I'm 50) but I haven't slept, or wished to sleep, with anyone in almost fifteen years. So, what am I saying? The situation can be improved with some effort, an effort worth making at your age, and as the years pass, the urgency lessens and it might not seem so much of an issue. All things considered, there is no - ahem - mechanical fault but things get complicated when there is someone else involved and fail to happen when you want them to. With an understanding playmate who appreciates you need to make it to the finish line by yourself, anything's possible.Do your own research and work your urologist hard and be prepared to challenge him if his advice seems too pat or too text-book.</blockquote>
