    Anyone ever tried acupuncture to help their erections?

    Not really, but one time that I had acupuncture for some back problems, I actually got an erection during the treatment. I don't know if it was the procedure itself or the cute Asian lady in the tight white lab coat that did it.

    I was getting acupuncture for back issues. I asked if it too could help erections. I was told yes through multiple treatments it would only help. After three treatments I wasn't noticing anything different so I stopped

    I was getting accupuncture for an enlarged prostate not for erections but it seemed to help that.

    I’ve had to for back and other issues and it had worked for those, so I’m curious to try it for erections. It doesn’t work for everyone but when I get it I’ll update on if it works.

    I did it once for back pain. Zero sexual arousal thanks to him causing me even more pain than when I walked in! Some kind of deep muscle massage that I did not ask for was not told about was not warned of and asked him to stop several times until I had to raise my voice at him! NEVER AGAIN THANK YOU VERY F*CKING MUCH!!! This was over a decade ago and I am still PISSED!

    Yes, I have. It's not right to comment without experience. It was very effective but the combination of points is important. You have to be consistent and have at least 8-10 treatments on a regular basis to see if you're in the % of the men it helps. I also have had 3 "rounds" of treatment over 3 years. All acupuncturists will use well known points Ren3, Ren6 plus some others on the ankles, wrists, back of knee. These are great for many guys and do help libido for sure. Not all doctors are comfortable with or will use a point Ren1 because of where it's located. For me, adding this point was key in getting me past the ED. If anyone wants more info message me. Finding someone experienced in ED and having a full medical eval by them is a must. You're not going to get a result after 1-2 treatments nor will it be a by product of having something else treated that's unrelated. Acupuncture is a medical treatment that's not covered by insurance. It's expensive. If you can't afford it, are needle-phobic or sensitive to discomfort, it's not for you. Take the blue pill.

    Medicare will now cover acupuncture treatments for lower back pain. Other forms of insurance may cover acupuncture for lower back pain and other conditions, but most don't.

    Community style acupuncture is usually pretty cheap. So are treatments from teaching clinics, and they're sometimes even free. I've heard of practitioners charging as much as $240 per treatment, which is ridiculous. Acupuncture can be helpful, but that doesn't mean that it's worthwhile at any price.

    I have a few things to say about cost, needle phobia, and other acupuncture issues in this thread:

    Alternative Treatments for Physical and Mental Illness

    Japanese style acupuncture is known to be particularly patient friendly, so it might be a good style to try if you have needle issues.

    One could also just try talking to an acupuncturist to see if there's a way around the obstacles to treatment. Needles typically don't go more than a couple millimeters deep, which most people with needle phobia don't realize.

    Chinese herbal medicine may be a more cost effective and more convenient way to treat ED.
