Hey everyone.. so recently I have kinda had problems gettin erect. I have been with my girlfriend the past few days, and well yesterday we decided we were gonna fuck. To make a long story short after about 4 hours of playin around makin out all that good stuff, when it came down to it.. i couldnt get fully erect. Now im kinda scared, seeing as im only 18. But could it be that i was tired and it was 5 in the morning after having a long new years eve? But also recently it seems like when i masturbate it takes a little more to get it up and it doesnt stay up like it use to. Any help would be greatly appreciated. THanks!!
Are you on any sort of medication? Anti-Depressants, in particular, can have this sort of effect. Also, at 18, you are still likely to be going through puberty (no, it doesn't finish once your pubic hairs & penis are fully grown - it can take many years for the massive changes in your hormone levels to finally settle down. I have also found that there can be major changes in sex drive depending on the seasons. Although I've not found any research to back this up, I always find that during the Spring months I am at my horniest, not just being ABLE to masturbate 4 - 5 times a day, but having a NEED to, whereas during the Winter months this can go down to 1 - 2 times a day - sometimes even going several days without masturbating at all - or even wanting to. Perhaps you are affeced by the seasons in the same way? After all, other animals have mating seasons - why shouldn't humans also have the remnants of those primitive instincts as well?
Sounds like "performance anxiety", which most guys have when they first start having sex. You could also have been tired at 5am. Keep trying and the problem will go away.
