Hi, I'm 21 and I have been having issues getting an erection/keeping an erection. The only time that it has properly worked was a good few years ago and have only been sexually active periodically since. I have just had blood and urine tests and they came back clear. If I take viagra then it works absolutely no problem. When I do get an erection and I even think about condoms never mind put one on it just seems to disappear, as you can imagine this is incredibly frustrating. The majority of the time it feels like nothing, it feels numb without the tingling sensation you get along with numbness. Certain positions work better than others. Lastly, I also find it difficult to maintain an erection whilst watching pornography. Any ideas before I book another appointment? Thanks.
Exercise,healthy diet and good sleep is the answer mate. I'm 27,play football 2 times a week and do weights at he gym 3-4 times a week,sleep at 11 pm and get at 7 am everyday even weekends,drink two litters of water everyday,and have 6 meals a day (small ones) 3 breakfasts,two lunches and one dinner,I eat a lot of salad,chicken breast,steak,fruits,the only supplement i take is whey protein,avoid sugar as much as I can however I do drink socially only once or twice week but never to the point to get drunk and wake up with a hungover. And the result is that over the last 4 years I have never been to the doctors,last winter I did not get sick even once,I have sex with my beloved girlfriend 3_4 times a week and my penis is hard even my gf texts me let alon when she is sitting next me on the sofa or bed,I make her cum every single time we have sex . Do all these things that I told you and you will never need a doctor in your life until you get very old.
I'm no doctor but this would seem to indicate that physically you are ok in that department and that leads me to the conclusion that it's probably a mental issue and the more you struggle getting and maintaining an erection the more you become anxious about it and therefore it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy and/our viscous circle. Maybe counselling might be a better option but I'm sure a decent doctor will point you in the right direction. Good luck!
Stop jerking off to internet porn. Any man under the age of 50 who is healthy but cannot maintain an erection more than likely jerks off too much to internet porn and cannot maintain an erection when with a real woman because they're addicted to high speed internet porn. My opinion is that anyone who jerks off to internet porn is a beta fag and cannot score with a real woman. Stop being like this and start appreciating real women who are not on your computer screen. I'm Poppy!
have you had sex without a condom? you mention erections so it isnt a physical thing and the only mention of not having an erection specifically is with condoms, and i can tell you that has been a problem with me. i would rather defy poppy and just jerk off to internet porn than have sex with a condom. unless it was what my girl wanted and i was doing it to make her happy.
I used to have similar issues with msintaining an erection when trying to play with someone i wasnt that into. Especially with a condom on. If i wasnt that into them then physically they did little for me. I had a lot of sex growing up so the actual act was less important than who it was with
I have the same problem with condoms ...... so I don't use them. How easy was that. Out of the last 7 women I had sex with this year, only one insisted on a condom and I didn't see her again.
Exercise degrades sexual ability. As an athlete, me and nearly all my fellow competitors know this well. Exercise reduces your testosterone levels, after a while you lose all sexual urges and the ability to get an erection. Similar for women athletes too, they have erratic periods and lose the ability to bear children. A month with no exercise and all is well again.
Today there is a very real problem with masturbation and it's stifling effect on actual sex. People are growing up in increasingly isolated lives. Video gaming with friends, instead of being with them in the real world, texting/facebook/twitter etc. instead of actual conversation and interaction. Social retardation is a new norm. People are also growing up with 24 hour available porn. It is now "normal" to be a porn addict. Anyone who watches porn everyday is, by definition, an addict. And therefore a prolific masturbater. And jerking off everyday/multiple times a day is SEVERELY detrimental to sexual performance. Especially as you get older.
Does twice every other couple days, count? I'm far from addicted to porn, and i am 24 and still get hard 24/7
Hi Kick the Viagra, forget porn for now. If you have a women get her to help you, there's nothing like the real thing for help, walking around naked together and showing, do all the things you would normally do but do it naked, its a great way of living even in the winter, and have sex when ever the feeling is there, so your women must understand this. I think this well be a great help.
