virgin can't keep erection
Posted: 05-19-08 14:07pm

Hello there.

Im an 18 year old male with some big worries. I'm still a virgin and just cannot seem to be able to go that final step.

The first time I experienced this problem was when I was 17, I got really really drunk and ended up with a girl in bed. I couldnt get hard at all and blamed it on the alcohol. The second time I was with my girlfriend about a year ago and drunk again and had the same problem. This time I was pretty annoyed about it as it had happened twice now, I knew it was just nerves.

Then months later I was with my girlfriend all alone and things were going great, we were both sober and I managed to get hard. But she is also a virgin and when I tried to penetrate she said it was very painful, so I stopped.

We left it for a little while, and a couple of months ago we celebrated 1 year together. However very recently we tried again to have sex. I took my time and spent about 30-45 minutes on foreplay. I didnt feel as nervous as I used to be. I was all ready and so was she. I put the condom on and began penetrating but found it quite difficult getting in, I was fumbling a bit. She was very aroused so that wasnt the problem, but then my penis starting going soft again. After a few attempts I got an erection and tried to penetrate again, I got a little way in then went soft again. We gave up eventually and now I dont know what to do.

I really want to try again but at the same time dont want to keep doing the same thing. My girlfriend says not to worry about it, she is understanding but also quite nervous too. I have read a lot on the internet about this type of thing but would like some specific help. I went to my doctor after the second time and he said it was psychological. Can anyone give me advice on how to overcome this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know I have to just relax and stuff but I didnt feel particularly nervous this last time.

Thanks.

all i can say is dont drink alcohol, that makes it much harder to get/stay hard because it makes you less sensitive so any sort of stimulation she gives you to help out isn't gonna do much, maybe you should try a thinner condom? is it that the condom is too think so you aren't feeling much? also if you keep having problems there are rings out there that you can buy and you put it on the shaft and it keeps the blood in the penis which keeps your erection, but...i dont know how comfortable/uncomfortable those are...also, maybe you should ask her for alittle help if you start goin soft..so it sorta takes the pressure off of you

Thanks for the advice. I think the condom is too thick yeah, I cant remember exactly but I think I bought Durex extra safe. I will go for thinner ones and try that out.

i am going through a similar problem. only difference is my dick only seems to do this with girls i care about. i'll be 23 in less than a month, i'm not a virgin, though i don't claim much experience. up until my last girlfriend i had sex with 3 others, but they weren't anything more than a fun night. everyhting went off without a hitch. i met my old girlfriend and we tried to have sex about 3 weeks into the relationship and i got going, getting it up is never a problem for me, but when the time comes to make use of my penis, i couldn't. it was after a party and i blamed the alcohol. so we tried the next night with the same result. we didn't last much longer after that. but then, at another party, i got a blow job from what i'm ashamed to say was an ugly fat chick. but my dick worked no problem, note that i was incredibly drunk as well. that was the last action i got before i met the girl i'm with now and have been for the past 7 months, we've tried 3 times, each time ends with the same result. i don't know the problem. i get hard as a rock from her so much as touching me sometimes like on the couch or something, but then it's like the closer i get to intercourse, the softer i get. i have tried to shorten up foreplay to help but so far no luck. the second time i got close, but didn't get in on the first try and then i immediately went soft. PLEASE HELP

i should add that everytime we've tried we were sober. and i say three times because those are the times when intercourse was def supposed to happen. other times i played it off because i could feel myself limp and opted out by just making her orgasm by giving her oral. this is killing me and i'm scared if it continues i might eventually lose her. i talked about it and she promised she will see me through this so that's comforting, but i know it hurts her and she is convinced that it's her fault

It's total performance anxiety. Talk about it thoroughly... make sure you trust each other so there's nothing to worry about. She has said that she'll keep trying with you, right? You have nothing to worry about.. just make sure you both really trust each other before it happens!

so yesterday afternoon me and my girl finally got it done! i am so relieved, but i think this may still be a problem, but i'm def coming out of it. umm pacman, what worked for me was having her perform oral but making sure i could see it, instead of with the lights off or something. the visual was just too much and i was up in a sec. goodluck!

Yoooo, I know what you guys are going through, I'm 16 about to be 17 in a week, and throughout the past 5 years I've always been sexually active, and I get hard from anything, but for some reason, When I'm with a girl I really like or a girl I'm dating, and we take a step forward to having sex, I'm rock hard during foreplay, but when it's time to put it in, I get soft, and it usually always happens, except this one girl I dated It happened at first, but after more attempts, I got accustomed to her and we were able to have sex, but I really don't know what the problem is cause alone, at home, watching porn or something, I get ROCK hard, but when with a girl i like or dating.....when it comes time for sex I get softer.

any solutions or problems maybe?
