Q: Problems staying erect
asked by: DoctorQuestion on February 22nd, 2009
So, I do not know what my problem is. I thought I figured it out and solved it, but after last night clearly I didn't. When I'm with a girl, I become erect very easily, and usually stay erect for awhile. However, once the girl takes out my penis I don't stay erect long at all (maybe a minute tops) and I do not ejaculate. A lot of times my penis goes soft and then a couple minutes later it will become hard again, then the girl starts playing with my penis and then it will go soft again. Last night the girl said, "I don't get it, you keep getting hard when I'm not touching you, but then when I touch you, you get soft." It is really frustrating when this happens. I am 20 years old and in good health, so I feel like this should not be happening to me.

Is there anything I can do to fix this problem (without the use of drugs)? The only thing I can think of is to stop masturbating.

If there is no pain or some other physical symptom, you might be experiencing erectile dysfunction due to some psychological problems. You might want to talk to a counselor, sex therapist or even to a psychiatrist.
Meanwhile, try some relaxation techniques. Too much tension might be one of the factors causing this condition.
