Erection Problem
Posted: 06-27-07 21:19pm

Hey everyone, i'm lookin to see if anyone here can help me.

I am 21 years old and when i get an erection i find that the shaft is hard but the knob is still soft. This problem is not only when i masturbate, i have had several encounters where the knob is soft during sexual intercourse, I was going to narrow it down to stage fright but stage fright when i'm masturbating????? I'm wondering if this is normal with most guys.

I realised that i do not get asoused without fooling around and foreplay with a girl, i cannot simply take a girl home, clothes off and go straight into sex. Is it regular for most guys to need some stimuli first?

I am iron deficient so i'm wondering if that has any effect on the situation. I also go day to day having to fight off passing out when i'm at work or just hanging out, for example, I will be at work and if i'm idle for a moment i get the sensation as if i'm heavily falling asleep, my body goes limp for a moment as if i'm about to pass out. This sensation is accompanied by head spins, dizzyness, hazy vision and an inability to concentrate.

Could any psycological issues be affecting this? Or am i just unhealthy?

Can someone please help me out?

How soft is soft? Does it not harden at all or do you mean it's just not as rigid as the shaft? My glans (the head of the penis) will harden, but the shaft is usually much more rigid. A squeeze of the shaft will not lower rigidity, but the glans can have the blood easily pushed out of it, so in that sense it would be softer. Though, still hardened.

Every person is different when it comes to sex and arousal. Some men get instant erections from the slightest touch or inkling that they'll be having sex. Others need mental arousal or physical touch. Women are the same. Some need plenty of foreplay and others will quickly become wet.

As for your dizziness, etc. that's something you need to see a doctor about. You already know you're iron deficient, but have you talked to a doctor about these symptoms? Have you corrected your iron deficiency? Many different things can cause those things, so you'd have to get tested.
