I'm 20, I have been with my girlfriend (really hot) for almost a year now, we haven't had sex yet but we have enjoyed a lot of foreplay (use to be every night). But recently I have had a problem getting hard when we start the foreplay, we have tried lots of moves/techniques/fantasizing to try to get it hard but its not working. I don't have this problem when watching porn. Sometimes I get hard for a few minutes but then it just goes limp again, its really frustrating and embarrassing Sad

I don't seem to get random erections anymore and don't have the temptation to want to masturbate

Can anyone give me some helpful advice to get me up and running?

Well you're almost a full adult biologically now; random erections just aren't going to happen anymore. You could try a bit of abstinence from foreplay for a week or so and see if that helps.

Yeah-it could be just from getting older. You're getting to the age where you will need actual stimulation to get erect. Smile

maybe your masturbating too much and its using up most of your urge maybe its the commitment to the relationship porn demoralizes the women usually and you may care for her the the porn is putting an image that on her makes you less comfortable
