I am a 19 year old man, who never lost his
virginity. I believe in having one partner
instead of many. This also leads me to
masturbate where sometimes I'll do it 2
times a day, other times I'll just take a
break. Recently I noticed that I can't get
as hard as I used to. My penis may become
semi-erect for a minute, however it limps
if I don't keep a firm grip on it. I am
seeing a girl, and its to the point when I
first started messing around with her;
fingering, eating out, etc I had an
erection. Now if I do it, it is hard for
me to become erect. I been considering
taking Viagra, however at 19 I don't think
I should. Comparing to last year, I was
hard as a rock when the wind blew by. I do
work out, have small stress in life
(school, work), but nothing overwhelming.
One thing is that I am kinda "harsh" when
I masturbate. I like to grip hard. Other
times when I sometimes finish
masturbating, I play with my penis and
bend it not inducing too much pain though.
Would this qualify as erectile
dyfunctionsy?
Are there cures like eating a lot of
fruits or resting your testicles on ice or
can this be stress related? I guess its my
build up of anxiety.
I do have the occassional drink, but I
really just don't hook up with women. I
will try and see if being a little tipsy
may help relieve of my anxiety. I know
drinking is not good for erections, but
its to the poiunt where I will try almost
anything.
***EDIT***
I forgot to add, but sometimes when I have
to urinate, I dont become erect like I
used to. Sorry just reminded myself cause
I gotta use the bathroom

I do not think this qualifies as erectile
dysfunction. You're not 15 any more; and
you might be becoming deensitized to what
nromally turns you on.

You can go to a doctor and make sure there
is nothing physically wrong, but like you
said, Viagra is not the ideal. It's a
drug, possibly harmful, and you may not
even need it.
Drinking is also not a good idea, and it
seems like you know it. Ever hear of
Whiskey Dick or Brewer's Droop? You may be
more relaxed, but that does not
necessarily equate to achieving erections.
There are others things that can keep you
relaxed, such as time, or talking to your
girlfriend. If you really need it, Passion
Flower or Chamomile Tea could relax you
some safely.
You're getting older and maybe some of
your puberty driven sex drive is fading.
That doesn't mean you should lose the
ability to gain an erection though. There
are things that the body needs to get and
maintain an erection. The first is your
mind. If you're turned on, you should get
an erection. If you're trying to get an
erection by thinking, you might not. So to
help, think or concentrate about things
that turn you on. While messing around
with your girlfriend think about the
enjoyment you're getting by giving her
enjoyment, or what you want to do to her,
or what you want her to do to you, or her
breasts, or her moans, or whatever gets
you turned on.
The other things your body needs are
chemicals or ingredients. L-Arginine,
cGMP, Testosterone, DHT,
5-alpha-reductase, Nitric Oxide, etc. Your
body should have these if you're healthy
and have a good diet, but you can also
increase them. Short answer, protein and
Lecithin should give you what you need.
Long answer, find a book on how to
naturally treat ED with diet, supplements,
etc. Though, you might not have ED, and
just need to relax or find something that
arouses you.
Since you considered Viagra for a moment,
you might eventually also think about
herbal viagras. If you do, stay away from
ones with Yohimbe.
You might also look into Kegel exercises,
as strong pelvic muscles can help achieve
and maintain strong erections. However,
they could also lead to premature
ejaculation if you don't learn to relax
them as well.
Morning wood, is often considered to be
caused by having to urinate and the
prostate enlarging and blood being locked
into the penis. It may also be linked to
normal night time erections, that may be
the bodies way of keeping the penis
healthy as it needs blood. There are
devices that doctors will give to patients
to see if they have night time erections.
It's a band that records whether your
penis is erecting at night. If it doesn't
happen, it could be physical ED as your
mental state doesn't really play a role in
erections while you sleep.
As for masturbating harshly and bending it
afterwards, I'm not sure if it has an
effect, but if you're really harsh maybe
it does. You say you bend it afterwards
without causing TOO MUCH pain. I take that
as you are causing some pain. I'd imagine
being too rough could cause physical
damage and that is probably best avoided.
Talk to a doctor to find out if you have
physical problems. Otherwise, maybe give
it a break, find something that turns you
on, let your penis heal and stop roughing
it up.

I guess I'll give that a try, just calm
down for a bit. If that doesn't work out,
then I'll probably cosult a doctor. Thanks
for the advice.

This isn't quite up your alley, but
mrjsmith had put his similar erection
problems of his own terms. hope this helps
a bit.
Thanks, helped a lot but I am kinda
confident with myself. I'll try some

works. Thanks for all the info

Yep, no problem. I wasn't quite implying
it to be a confident solution, I was just
giving it out as a reference of some
information in general. I learned acouple
of things from that recent thread.

Hey,
Do you believe in Yoga? It helped me
heaps. In the similar predicament. With a
little help from Ayurveda, of course. But
they worked.
I have some great URLs that may be of some
help to you.

to the original poster, i would definately
recommend the kegels exercises. my
boyfriend has been doing them consistently
for about a month and already he and i
notice a huge difference in the strength
of his erection.

I'm going to try that out, but I tried not
to masturbate for like 5 days and noticed
a differecnce. I mean now its actually
morning wood, not like a weaping plant.
lol
And I will try out those Kegel excersizes.
I am huge on going to the gym, so I will
try and incorporate those in my leg work
out. Thanks again people. Appreciate
everything

We don't know what's wrong with you... We
