Q: No Erection While Standing Or On Top

Hello, I am 24 years old and I have been dealing with some erection issues. I masterbate on average once a day but i always do it either sitting or on my back, never standing up. I believe this has caused problems for me to where it is nearly impossible for me to achieve an erection while standing or being on top. This was an issue with my last girlfriend, each time we had sex, 3 times, it was a struggle and i never reached orgasm.

This has caused me some mental anguish and has only enhanced the fear of not being able to achieve an erection. I wake up with morning erections so I feel the problem isnt physical. When i achieve an erection sitting down and then try to stand up I quickly lose the erection and I just feel like the mood leaves me. It also takes me a good while to reach orgasm while masterbating, and I'm contemplating on take a leave of absence from masterbation and porn to see if this would correct the problem. My question is, does anyone else experience similar problems? I know that when I basically expect to lose my erection which doesnt help in any way. but even if im completely in the mood and i stand it goes away. I can still reach orgasm while standing but it takes a very long time and my penis will only be 1/3 erect. Sorry for rambling but I'm just wondering if anyone can offer some advice on how to help... I'm thinking about checking into Viagra to help me with this problem

I would just say experiment. I personally don't enjoy standing up during sex/foreplay etc. It just doesn't turn me on.
Is your problem that you're not turned on by it, or is it that your bits 'n pieces just don't work?

You might want to find what works for you.... practice on your own... try getting kinky or do something that really turns you on while you stand up. It might help.

it just seems that once i stand up i lose the mood, almost like I'm not turned on by it. Also, I believe that I'm having problems because I've watched too much porn and it has desensetized me to a natural naked woman. I still feel in my head that I'm in the mood but my body shuts down it seems

I have the same problem in excatly the words you have described. Masturbation sitting down has never been a problem at all, but when I stand up it seems to have trouble keeping itself erect and slowly goes away simultaneously with the mood. I think standing up gives less blood pressure and maybe this problem can be fixed by practicing. Anyone has solutions?

This is a hard one.....I dont get pleasure out of doing anything standing up eithier. I think it could be a factor of not being comfortable or as relaxed as compared to sitting or standing. Like Marvel said I wwould practice doing things while standing up or even in the mirror to help arousal. And during sex maybe u could try doggy style.

I had the same problem. Well, I fixed it (around 1 month of constant work).

I am very athletic, so I cannot contribute to this problem to physical limits. I also have excellent morning erections, and sitting/laying down. I believe, as well, that my problem was caused from masterbating too much sitting down, and never standing up. I would stand up, and it would die.

Well, here was my training:

I would masterbate until very close to orgasm, and when I feel I'm a few seconds away, I would stand up and finish off standing up. This was to teach my brain to associate standing up as a good thing.

After a week or so of this (once or twice a day), I would stand up half a minute before orgasm, and finish off. Erection might get a bit weaker, but I'd keep going.

I gradually built up to being able to fully masterbate standing up. Now, I have ZERO problems. The trick is to SLOWLY get your brain accustomed to associating standing up to be something enjoyable and possitive, not negative. Hope that helped.
