My girlfriend and I broke up about 2 weeks ago. Ever since, I haven't been able to get an erection. I am a bit worried because this has never been a problem for me. We were together for 3 years and had a very active sex life. Should I be concerned about this issue or is it a common problem after a break-up? Thanks Eric
its emotional dude, you gotta give it time, and lots of thought. wrap up those nasty thoughts in your mind, they are working "behind the scenes" to make you feel like youre worthless now and dont deserve to fuck or something. Just get that shit out of you, and keep trying. 3 years is a very long time.
its because its strange to fuck a new girl. make sure your really comfotable with the new one. take her out a few more times, have some laughs, then fuck when ur ready. im in same situation as u, just got out of a realtionship, seeing some girl, but ill give it a week before i try n fuck her.
Good advice. You are depressed but you will get over it. Make sure you are very confortable with the next girl and don't rush things.
Try being widowed after 19 years. And it's not for lack of trying. I had a friend, who had always been very platonic and completely honorable while I was married, suggest "benefits" a couple of months afterward. She in fact, helped me through the first wave of awkwardness, unfamiliarity, guilt, and whatever else was going on. but even taking Viagra, I had a very difficult time. Now that I'm dating someone more seriously, I'm just now starting to get my groove back. I'm still taking Cialis (instead of Viagra), but it's partially for a confidence boost, and partially, since we mostly spend weekends together, so that I can play "Superman," and get a week's worth in in 2 or 3 days. I think what you're going through is normal (and I hope, gets better much more quickly than mine). Guilt, grief, depression, shaken self-confidence, and unfamiliarity can all give you trouble, and if you're depressed enough to take antidepressants, it will get even worse before it gets better. I hope you've got a lady that understands, and is willing to help you get through this.
dude, same thing happened to me a couple months ago. i got out of a relationship with my girlfriend of 9 months. i was with this other chick a short time after we broke up, and i just couldnt get it up. i have no clue why, it fucking sucked. it literaly took me a week straight of trying everyday to have sex with this girl before it actually worked out. everythings fine now, but that first week or so was just plain embarrassing.
Erection problems may be because of stress. Stressed person is not able to get that much erection like a normal healthy human being. Try to come out of stress and tension of your break up to get back your zing. Try to make your lifestyle healthy enough.
if you are depressed, most probably you will have an erection problem. just accept the truth that you and your girl are not meant to each other, let the time heal your wounds and don't think too much about that.
probably just the nerves with the new girl. takes time to feel comfortable with a new girl... unless youve fucked like 10 or more n u just get really used to it.
