Cannot achieve an erection while standing - erectile problem? Posted: 10-25-07 02:22am
I am 24 years old and have erection
problems. I've only had sex 3 times and
each time was tough but it was okay when i
was on the bottom. I have never been able
to achieve an erection while standing and
this goes for both masterbation and for
sexual intercourse. I can only achieve an
erection while sitting or lying down on my
back... If I stand up from these positions
even in the height of sexual pleasure I
almost immediately begin to lose my
erection, even while im almost about to
have an orgasm. I have achieved an orgasm
while standing two times in total. Each
of which was down with a 1/3 flacid penis
that was no where close to being able to
achieve intercourse. I don't know if the
problem is physical or mental but I don't
know what to do. I wake up with morning
erections. I desperately need help and no
one on the internet I can find has a same
problem so it's plaguing me. Thankyou

If you can still perform sexual
intercourse and experience sexual
pleasure, your erection problem is not too
serious. Penile erection itself is a
complex neuro-vascular reflex that is can
disturbed in some body positions where
there is not enough blood that enters the
penis. The erection problems that you are
experiencing are probably only functional
and temporary. Functional sexual disorders
are typical for your men your age in their
early to mid 20's..
