Hi im 17 and have been experiecing impotence problems for a few years now. Either I cant get an erection, or if I do its not very hard and barely lasts a minute. Im in know way stressed and consider my self relatively fit and healthy. I dont know whats wrong, dont know what to do and dont know who to talk to about it. I have a gf for over a year now and anytime we try to have sex, I cant get it up, or its not near hard enough for intercourse. Im worried my gf is getting frustrated , please help wot can I do?

I would advise against viagra...It's not a good thing to take considering that me and you might have some actual problems other than those of much older guys...Plus it's expensive, and not good for your health. You could read a lilttle bit on my other posts and see that we have similar problems except that I can be very normal sometimes and not others....The docs said it was psychological which I don't believe whatsoever. You might get some advice from my other posts and people's replies.

Stay away from the viagra (not to mention that you're a minor)!

Is it only during sex? If yes, it's almost definitely nerves. Are you on any type of medication?

Thanks for replys. It cant be a nerve thing cus its the same with masturbation. Im not on any medication, I might have an stomach ulcer but I dont tink dat cud effect my erections. Is viagra unsafe at my age?(17) I cant think of anything else to try only viagra. I really dont know what to do only try it.

Stay away from the viagra. You're a minor (making viagra not an option for you), and chances are it's problem that can be fixed naturally. I highly recommend against trying viagra.

Let'caca some of the basics, sorry if you've already answered some of these:
how often do you ejaculate (sex or masturbation)?
How often do you masturbate?
What your diet like?
Do you exercise?
Do you smoke, do drugs, or drink?
How long have you been experiencing the problem?
Are you under any stress (as a 17 year old, im guessing yes)?
Have you experienced any trauma (ie: accident/injury) to that region?

Wel il be 18 soon so is it ok to take it den? I cant see anything else workin.

Thanks for your reply cd99.. Really greatful , hope u can give me some good advice.
I ejaculate maybe 3 to 4 times a week (masturbation)
im still a virgin , tried to have sex a couple of times with my gf but I jus cant it hard enough, its the worse ever!!
I have a good balanced healthy diet, the same as most people, I dont eat fish tho.
I dont smoke, dont do drugs, I do drink but not dat often as it affects my stomach. As I mentioned above bout an ulcer.
Ive been experiencing this problem for about 3 years. I remember wen I was younger I used to get like 25 boners a day. As to none now.
I dont consider myself to be under any stress , im a really laid-back person.
No nothing has happened to that reigon.
Thanks for your help mate

We're pretty much in the same boat. Did your erections get weaker and weaker in these years, or did they bounce back sometimes?

I think a lifestyle change is on order for me as well (a better diet, less drinking, no recreational drugs like cocaine & weed, more exercise etc). I'm not convinced this is the sole cause of my problem but in general looking after yourself can't be a bad thing. Found some web pages giving information about what foods are believed to help with sex drive;

Do as you please, but i'm telling you right now, don't go on a fish oil, zinc, viagra or any other type of regimen unless you consult your doctor first. The negative affects could be far worse than any gains you might have.

"mikey," at your age, I would highly recommend against either viagra, fish oil, or anything else. I would first recommend that you take a week and a half or two off from masturbation and what not. Don't think about it, get your mind off of it. Go out and do something you enjoy instead. Perhaps think about decreasing the amount of alcohol you consume during this time. Try to keep stress down, and a healthy diet and exercise up during this time. While you might think, "what's this gonna do?" i'm gonna tell you that a lot of people that do this, come back in the two weeks feeling and doing a lot better. They may not yet be perfect, but they usually do make some great gains. Pm me if you have any questions.
