Q: Erectile Dysfunction Due to Anxiety

asked by: Jamoo on August 26th, 2006

Hi,

i am 22 years old and am struggling with erectile dysfunction. I know it is psychological since I have no problem with getting an erection with porn & masturbation and even most of the time with my girlfriend.

The problem occurs when I try to penetrate - then it takes all of 2 seconds for my erection to die a rapid death. But as much as I try to relax and as much as she reassures me I am still not having any success in maintaining my erection long enough to penetrate.

Because I know it is a psychological problem, I don't want to take any drugs.

I am a student and thus can't afford the cost of seeing a sex therapist, and so I am looking for some resources or just some help in formulating a routine of psychological exercises I can undertake to help solve this problem. Has anyone here dealt with their ed in this way? Can anyone recommend a good website and/or book for me to read?

Thanks.

Try some narcisistic things, look in the mirror and reassure yourself, just remember, if your girlfriend is still with you after this it means she loves you and trusts you, which alone should be enough for you to trust her and not feel worried about it

i dont know about any books or things, just try taking a deep breath, reassuring yourself, get your self ready, close your eyes and let her put it in for you

No Worries

Hi jamoo,

it's not physical, it's all in your head.

I'm 27...But this used to happen to me. And once it happens you cant stop thinking about it when you're getting into it with a chick. It remains in the back of your head and that's what does it.

Let yourself get into it. Try not to think about the possible limpness. Lol

serious...I would have a couple of drinks before. Not to get my drunk but to get me emotional. This may sound gay but let your emotions guide you, not your brain.

I was always thinking of my next move......Dont! Just go with it and think of how good it will be.

Once you f*** a couple of times without thinking of it you're good to go.

I dont have any issues anymore.

Fantasies can help. Just try to think of something that really turns you on while you're doing it.
