erectile health?

as i get older i notice my erection quality has gone down. erections aren't as strong or don't last as much as they did when I was younger. during sex, I could edge for hours, or cum multiple times and be just as hard. now i can go for maybe 15-20 minutes until i start slowly losing my erection and eventually just go flaccid. i.e. the problem isn't getting hard, but rather staying hard.

i only ever do bodybuilding style weightlifting for exercise; i heard that cardio (both steady state and interval training) is where it's at for sexual health, because from what i gather erection quality depends on your cardiovascular system. also, i heard kegel exercises may help. i'm also not taking any drugs or prescription meds atm. diet seems ok too: red meat, fish, eggs, dairy, fruits, veggies, mostly legumes for carbs. sleep is ok: 7-8 hours daily. stress could use some work, i do get a lot of stress lately.

those of you that developed issues with erection quality, how did you fix it and what was the culprit?

If this is a serious concern for you, make an appointment with your doctor. If you have a personal trainer, ask for questions to run past the doctor when you see them. If you're lucky, you'll be able to get more pump in your pecker by simply better balancing your workouts with some cardio. You might also want to ask them both regarding useful health and fitness #books to check out.

Women as literal godesses.

We've been saying that Blue Pillers pedestalise women. I don't think that the notion has sunk deep enough - and that has certainly been the case for me, in the past.

Religion is a symbolic expression of the internalized image of a parent. We think of God as "our father", and, as far as internal representations are concerned, that's not even metaphorical. He loves, is always present, guides, forgives, or is even fearsome. Just like dad.

Now, the point I want to make is that a Blue Piller might be a convinced atheist, and even an accomplished world-renowned positivist scientist. However, when the notion of woman (i.e. the internal representation of his mother) enters the discussion, his rationality is cancelled and all his higher cognitive functions are subdued, to be taken over by his sense of utter dread, his infantile fear of annihilation due to his mother being unchecked by his father, and ready to consume him, her child.

I believe the source of this dread is extremely ancient, animalistic, from the age that female animals literally ate their runts.

The illustrating case, in my mind, is a scientist I greatly admire and respect, Robert Sapolsky. He's kind of the embodiment of an open-minded and dedicated scientist, complete with social consciousness. It all goes out the window when woman enters the picture.

I believe the above is the way to solve the nagging puzzle we may have when confronted with some modern, or even older, scientists. "He's so fucking brilliant, how can he not see women for what they are?" It's that his brilliance is suspended, and he's running on religious mode.
