Okya, divorce is over am entering back into the dating world again.....
But.. I've found recently that I have been having some ED issues.
Has anyone else experienced in inability to maintain an erection and or achieve orgasm after the divorce?
I am sure there are a couple factors oin this. I started smoking again last July when i went through this. Also, I was the one who was dumped and this effected me tremendously. Am just curious if anyone else has had this same issue.
I don't think it's something that just time, space and a healthier lifestyle won't change.

I haven't but... For the longest time after the divorce, I could not imagine myself with another woman other than my x-wife. I truly think that had I "been" with another woman during that period when she left, I don't think I could have "performed". Do you still have feelings for the X??? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Otherwise, see your Dr about it.

Smoking is a definite risk factor.
Also, are you on any antidepressants, blood pressure medicines, or any other new medicine that you were not on before the divorce?
Sexual side effects are very common with many many prescription medications.
But, as you touched on, the mental aspect of it may be a key factor as well.

I feel your pain Brother! It happens. During my separation and right after the divorce I was in an angry state so nothing bothered me, I felt like I was 21 again. No problems. I was dumped also.
Once single and alone I experienced what you are referring to. I even went to the Dr. and had my Testosterone checked (it was actually high). It's a mental thing.......I guess you just have to heal your soul first.
