It started about 4 monthes ago, I noticed when I started to be sexually active I had impotence. I would get a erection, but when I am about to have sex, I can't stay hard , or get a erection. I lose all my sex drive, and I have a sort of numb feeling on my penis. But if I masturbate really fast I can keep a erection, but as soon as I take my hand off it dies. I really don't know what to do I have had my partner relax me but masaging me and comforting me to get rid of anxiety, or she will try to arouse me deeply. It doesn't work, I have a history alcholics in my family, and I have had a lot of emotional trauma in the last couple of monthes. I don't know what to do I really would like to please myself, and my partner. But I can't anyone have any advice. I am 17 years old also, I am considering medication. Thanks, Sam.
Well, unfortunately it's probably a pressure issue. The more times you fail, the more nervous you get next time, and away the erection goes. You might want to see a therapist who can help you work through it. On the other hand, it may very well be a physical issue. Step one: Stop masturbating. Very different kind of stimulation than sex. Masturbating can make it much harder to keep an erection if you're not staring at porn. Another possibility is that it could be an even deeper physical issue. When I was 18, I started having erection problems too. Turns out it was because I had hemorrhoids. Basically, problems in other areas can affect your penis.
Use meds as a last resort. It's prolly just pressure, simply don't think about sex for awhile. You can please yourself and your partner by just caressing, massaging, etc, some ppl like these things better than sex. You can even do oral, see if that works. If bj is not enough for u do still eat pussy tho, so u can keep her satisfied while u work this out. Maybe consider the above poster's advice on seeing a GP about it.
