Some form of ED : I mean by this a weaker Erection compared to the one before CPPS, whether in rigidity or in the ability to maintain it for a long time.
that is you might still be able to have intercourse, but not as easily and naturally or easily as before.
There have been some studies showing a significant link, but I hope we can have a bigger sample here.
And my guess Polls are Anonymous here, isn' it ?

I've never had any ED problems ever in my life. My sex drive is probably overactive, I religiously got off every day multiple times and often had "heroic" sex, 3 or 4 rounds over a few hours, etc...literally until I wasn't even "cumming" anything. 
Now, since this prostatitis crap hit, I'm not sure if I have ED problems....I'm still as horny as ever each day so in that sense, no. Are my erections weaker? Sometimes, but I never paid attention to that before so it could be that nothing has changed.
What has really changed is sometimes a slight pain on the left side of my penis while erect, along with that annoying redness irritation/sensitivity sensation on the tip, which seems to be getting much better recently. Also, I can't bend my penis downward anymore without feeling uncomfortable...it seems to want to stick not straight out but "up" if you know what I mean.
One thing I do notice is that I finish a bit sooner than I used to sometimes...but I've always been like that...hence the multiple rounds per night. The second, third or fourth time became much harder to orgasm and therefore was better for the girls.
Aside from some mild pains (intermittient) in the perineum after ejaculation, my orgasms are still fun and I will continue to enjoy sex as much as I can. ANd I'm really happy that I do not have major ED in addition to pain and urinary symptoms.

Age:23 | Onset Age:22 | Symptoms:Urinary hesitancy, moderate frequency, urgency and retention, slight perinneum, rectal and leg pain, frequent abdominal/bladder pain. Red/white spotty irritation on penis | Helped By:hot baths or showers, walking and moving around, pain medications | Worsened By: sitting for a long time, holding urine too long. I'd say I'm about 75% better naturally so far.
