Pills no longer working, do I need a break?

I’ve noticed in the last year, increasing amounts of Viagra and Cialis are no longer working. It’s to a dangerous side effect level now, where I’ll end up taking 12 Viagra 100mg, and 9 Cialis 20mg (all together) before a session, and barely able to get an erection for more than a few minutes.

I’m wondering how much of this is mental too. I’m in my early 50s, not fat, unmarried, no kids, no friends, and seeing providers maybe 5-7 times a week. I haven’t had a civilian sexual relationship in almost 20 years. I avoid porn and don’t masturbate. Most of the time these days I can’t even get off when seeing providers, so I’m just throwing money down the drain and I don’t even know why. I’ve also been unhappy for years, and perhaps seeking the wrong outlets.

I’m curious if others have experienced the ineffectiveness of the pills over time, and had any suggestions. Do I just need to take a break from sex for a while, as I’m wondering if this is some compulsive behavior I’m doing, when I’m not even enjoying myself.

I’m deliberately putting this in the co-op forum, as I believe that hiding issues behind the locker room mentality of male-only room may not be helpful, and hoping the ladies also have wisdom, seeing a lot more things in this hobby world than guys do.

Raise the dead, Pyramider knows about that, his afterlife is going strong

You need to face it; your sex life, at least the version you’re living in your cranium, is done. You’ve turned what’s supposed to be a natural, pleasurable act into an addiction & chemical dependency. Taking twelve 100mg Viagra & nine 20mg Cialis at once isn’t “trying harder,” it’s insanity. You’re gambling with your life just to chase a long-dead erection. That’s not masculinity, that’s desperation.

You’ve built your identity around paying for sex, yet you’re not even getting satisfaction from it anymore. I'd call that rock bottom, but that would be an insult to those that have been there. You’ve numbed yourself so much that no pill, no provider, no fantasy can fix the emptiness underneath. The problem isn’t your body. It's that you’ve hollowed out every emotional & physical connection sex used to have.

Wait a minute! You should talk to the Hobby. I think he works at the Firm. He knows lots of stuff.
