No hormones, no libido. An yes, you're right, you get a flutter and then just as quick it disappears. Try having a hubby who has ED due to prostate cancer and subsequent removal of said organ. It's no fun and coming up to a year for him, he's beginning to be extremely frustrated, as am I. I used to cry for what we have both lost. Now I'm just resigned to it all. Don't know whether he'll ever regain an erection or whether he'll need help of some kind. Things are on the move but nerve endings take so long to heal and I don't know that you ever get back what you used to have.
