Does Whey protein effect penis erection

Hey M. Sorry for not replying sooner... To answer your question. Nope. Still the same. Still non-existent sex drive. Still feeling like I have no emotions. Still little-to no sensation in my penis when I jerk off and no orgasm when I ejaculate... and in 2 months (May 3rd) will be my 2 year anniversary of when this f*****g nightmare begun.

How about you?

Hi Under, I'm sorry to hear there's no improvement yet, it's really s--t. I'm still hovering at about 80%. If I keep my diet clean things improve slightly. I'm getting more blood tests done on the 7th of April and I'll have the results ten days later. The usual hormone tests which will probably be normal, homocysteine and C-reactive protein. It's so s--t the effects last so long, I have a damaged libido since 2004 for taking optimum nutrition gold standard whey, I wish to Christ I never took it. I wish I took up smoking crack for a couple of years instead of going to the gym and taking whey protein, at least I'd have a proper penis!! Keep in touch, I'll talk to you later, M

Hey M, it's been a while since I've been on here so let me update you a little on whats been going on. For almost a year or so I've been hovering at what I would call, and you would call, the 80% recovery point. It's a point that seems to be my new normal for when I've stayed away from whey protein for a while, and have been eating clean as well. 80% is obviously not as good as 100%, but it is manageable. So things have been going ok lately until maybe 5 days ago. I always make the same mistake too. After a while of avoiding whey protein like the plague, and feeling a lot better, I start to think that it wasn't whey protein at all and maybe I've been depressed the whole time (even though I'm not really emotionally depressed), or maybe I was consuming too much saturated fat which was causing blood flow problems. So with this rationale, I started to eat doritios, and guess what doritos has in it. Besides whey protein, Doritos also have MSG as clear as day on the ingredients which is probably reason enough to never eat these chips again. Well almost every day for a week and a half, I had some doritios. At first I didn't notice anything, which gave me confidence to eat more and more, but after a week or so of bombarding my body with whey protein, I'm now feeling how I felt almost a year ago when the last time I consumed high amounts of whey protein. Basically no motivation, barely any emotions, and oh yeah a non-existent sex drive and no morning erections. I seriously haven't felt this lifeless in almost a year and it's no coincidence I started to feel this way after I started eating lots of doritos every day for a week. I need to stop being an id**t and face the fact whey protein for some reason is what will cause these problems and to not mess with the stuff.

Hey guys, 

Basically I'm 17 years old, 73.5 kg from England and I've been taking optimum nutrition 100% whey protein banana flavour for the last month or so. I've noticed low level symptoms of what's been discussed in the forum so have decided to stop taking the powder (£44 wasted). Basically I started to notice it just this afternoon and the main thing seemed to be the fact that I wasn't masturbating every day. I didn't even notice it but being 17 it was quite a big part of my routine that did occur every day. I can still get erections just fine but they don't feel 100% and go down fairly easily. I thought I'd test it out watching porn see what happened if I didn't aid my bestmate in standing to attention and it went up with a little mental coersion. It seems smaller when flacid but I've noticed no difference in size when fully erect. I'm booked to give blood in 7 days and have multi-vits in the house already so I'll lay off the protein and give blood etc. I'm also of the opinion it's seriously important to drink water, even if you're not having problems with protein, loads of studies show this is a top idea. What I want to find out is if it is all types of whey that have these adverse effects or just ON 100% as I've read other forums and the main brand where people have these problems is ON despite 5* reviews on almost every site. I also think it's important for those of you who are suffering from mind blanking and emotional numbness to investigate the possibility that it is ASPARTAME and other artificial sweeteners causing this as scientific research shows clear correlations between these and mental retardation in rats and infant mice. Anyways I'll keep everyone posted on my progress (hopefully). I'll keep working out and won't try and edit my diet other than the whey.

Hey Samus. I am 18 years old. I think were the youngest ones on this forum. Anyway. This happened to me when I was 16. I just kind of randomly woke up with this problem after taking whey for for about a year. The first thing I noticed that I had a problem is when I didn't have my daily morning erection. I thought that was kind of weird. Than I started to notice that I lost my attraction to females. And than I starting getting nausea and heat inside my body. And ever since that one moment I have never been the same. I later went home and decided to masturbate and there was no sensation in my penis... I have no emotionally feeling, memory problems, non-existent sex drive, no sensitivity in penis, and this has been going on for almost 2 years with no recovery.

hey iam years old and
idk my penis got smaller when i start taking protein it was 7 and it strunk down 6.5.

Hi guys, Quick update, So yeah I've given blood and been taking multivitamins for a while now and there has been improvement and I'm back to 100%. I started taking protein again about 3 weeks ago and I'm still fine. I think some people just react differently to it, I only have a shake after a work out and I take it straight after and I'm still all good. I'm not sure if the blood giving and vitamins have made any difference but if anything I'm more up to it than usual, even before I had issues at the beginning. I've spoken to a few of my friends who are the same age and on the same 100% ON protein and they had similar issues at the start but are also fine now. Maybe the side effects are more psychological. Anyways I hope this helps any one worried about libido issues etc.

I am experiencing the libido decrease now after 20 days of  whey protein consumption. i am still not sure of whey is the reason or creatine cuz this whey has creatine in it. when i fist started consuming it i noticed sudden increase in energy and i started lifting more weights, however 12-15 days after i started noticing that my sex drive is going down. i used to have erections in my sleep and when about to wake up. for me getting an erection when in bed means i got enough sleep. it used to be always the case. but only two weeks after whey protein intake i am not having the habit . sleeping with my girlfriend is still ok as it used to be .. i still can stay erected for 1-2 hours depending on how long i want , but loosing the habit of sleep erections is worrying me. thus i stopped comsuming this whey protein to c if my sex drive will come back its before nature

will creatine gluconate act the same way as the creatin you bought from the pharmacy? thus increasing my penis size by 6cm?

Hi, I had similar issues at first but to be honest I think it is just your body adjusting to the increased testosterone levels. The creatine may have something to do with it but after the first month or so my sex drive really shot up, more so than before I even started taking whey

Samus, what happened to you mustn't have been the whey protein like the rest of us. It was probably just a blimp in your chemistry as you're in you're late teens or the effect weight training has on your body as some people can loose libido for a while after training. The whey protein effect is definitely NOT psychological and seen as you're taking shakes again it can't have been it. If I so must as sniffed a whey protein shake my d--k would be switched off for life and would sometimes feel numb and tingly like you feel if you got a bad fright but only in your groin, d--k and balls, it is truly auful

There is some protein powder with creatinine added like muscletech.

Hello, I had an erection problem that I thought might be caused by protein powder I had been taking after recently starting weight training. A very distressing problem of which the symptoms matched many of the posts on this forum. The problem, however, seemed to be connected to an upper endoscopy procedure I had aroyryund the time I also started the protein supplements. The procedure was done under general anaesthetic. Shortly thereafter I had almost no libido. The tentative solution I stumbled across was this: Being careful, place several fingers at the back of the throat and induce a retching spasm. Avoid vomiting. Repeat retching spasm a couple more times and observe if there was any feeling where perhaps before there was numbness. This seemed to bridge a disconnect between my groin and the rest of my body. Probably a delayed need to retch and convulse from when I was unconcious during the upper endoscopy procedure - a need that the body could not do until I induced retching about 17 days after procedure. This might be worth trying two or three times just to see if there is any improvement in sensation for forum members and readers of this. Do not get carried away if no result - my condition turned out not to be protein powder but the technique might be worth trying. Reading this entire thread made me very emotional and my heart goes out to all posters. Best wishes to all of you on your journey in this life.
