Hi

I'm kind of embarrassed to write this, but I feel I have no other choice. I have been married for a year, before which I was a virgin (male). I am around 30 and for some reason I cannot get a proper erection. In this year or marriage, I think I have had a full erection twice and I cannot tell you how frustrating this is for me and my wife.

When I eventually did get a full erection (twice), I was able to perform very well, but now, when if I do get an erection, I end up ejaculating too quickly.

I feel this is damaging my marriage and was hoping someone could help.

Thanks for reading.

Recommend you talk over this with your GP. He (or she) should be able to recommend you to a therapist skilled in sexual health.

There are a lot of articles in the internet that you can read. First you have to know wether is a physiological problem or a physical problem (insuficient blood pleasure going to the penis). If is the first one, you can fix it with some therapies, if is the second one you need drugs, like viagra, to get it up.

Good Look!

Interesting typo, Luisa - blood pleasure???
(PS - I would not recommend Viagra if there is a blood pressure problem, which is why it is important to see a GP for onward referral)

You know Jabba, when a men have an erection, his penis accumulate a lot of blood (it fill out with it, thats why their veins gets thicker)...the main problem when a men can't get an erection (talkin about physical dysfunction) is because there's enough blood pleasure going there.

Important what you said, Viagra has side effects that can cause problems like: blurred vision, sensitivity to light, diarrhea, painful urination, frequent urination, dizzy spells, bloody or cloudy urine and bladder pain.

Well, good luck cowboy

Simple test

Hi Cowboy

A simple test for phsycological dysfunction is to fasten a strip of paper around the penis at night. Some people say to use a strip of stamps but that could prove expensive ! Because when you sleep you will normally have erections and these will not be affected by physcological factors and if the paper is broken in the morning the physical aspects are fine.

be careful cos papercuts hurt in that area of the body.

Failure to get an erection has been linked for many years with anxiety/stress. So the more you focus on the problem the more stressed you become and the worse it gets. So you may try some form of relaxation - anti-stress technique.
Most things about sex start in the mind.so provided you have no physical problems, then you might look there.

Hi Cowboy, you can get an erection so thats brilliant. Sounds like its not happening as often as you'd like and that you are not yet able to control the length of time it's with you. Good advice to see your GP, worth having GP check you over anyway, even if you don't want the medicine route. At least he can assure you that all is ok.

Once thats done I would recommend a little downsizing (pardon the pun!) of your expectations at each contact with your wife. They do say that if you just play for a while, without the expectation of full action then you can begin to relax, pressure to perform is off for the mo. Build it gradually. You were a virgin til only recently, sex like many things is a truly wonderful gift, but can take practice to perfect. It is certainly worth it. Find the patience and smiles that you need to share the journey.

You have plenty of time together, reassure yourself and your lovely partner that you can learn together. There is plenty of self help info out and about - there have been a couple of good books rec'd on this site, in this forum.

Make the play time special, set time and a place aside for your pleasure, it's not always about the full sex. Enjoy each other and your very special relationship. You have already honoured her, she is the only one you are to have these pleasures with.
Many blessings to you, and keep us posted.

The other drug works well. It is known as the weekend drug, and lowers your blood pressure. Celesta, sorry for the spelling. Just take half a pill every day, and you will be able and ready when she is, and amazingly two,
or three times. I do not need this product, but it is great for a vaction, or what ever. And my doc said that it will not hurt you, if you do not need it. Unlike Viagra, which you can end up with a 4 hour erection, ouch. Try it you will like it. Keep it a secret from your wife if you have to.

There is a good natural alternative you can try for ED, it is called horny goat weed and the Chinese swear by it. I will look for some more information on it and share my research with you.

Cowboy,

I could not find any info on horny goat weed, but last time I went to my doctor he told me that my erectile dysfunction was psychological because I was getting erections in the morning but could not get one when it was time to preform. Try to find out if yours is psychological, this is a good read on it:
and if it is you can try kegel exercises which are suppose to help the pelvic muscles. I do these 3 times a week and it has helped my ED allot and reduced my stress level. Hope that helps.

The reason why some teens can't get it up it's masturbation in every day.
They simply look at the monitor and they masturbate...
I can't understand them.

I used to have the same problem.
I also had a 10yr chronic back pain and eventually RSI. I used to use (sexual) pills but the headaches during and after were awful.

When I went to Alexander Techniques sessions everything started to change for the better. I really recommend it for that.

After a couple of months of going, I realised I had a 'fear of pain' in my left testicle which stems back to an operation I had as a child which was preventing me releasing my muscles/and relax. It was almost like I was in a perminant state of flinch and was uncomfortable with girls touching them.

The Alexander Technique cleared up my problems, gave me a good body and gave me total sexual control. I would also recommend a book called 'Multi Orgasmic Man' (by Shia or Shiv? It also helped learn about control) and Reflexology (I used to poo-poo it but when learning the Alex Tech I realised it's excellent after all). It also helped with the getting over the 'fear of pain'!

Nowadays I can go on for hours! Im a stallion, Whoo-ho!

Let me know how you get on.

First of all, you'd be surprised that sometimes doing a full body detox or at least a colon cleanse can assist in alleviating the problems. Erection problems a lot of time occur with the lack of oxygen flow in the arteries. However, this depends on your diet. Saturated fats from fast food and processed food is one of the causes of the problem. Cutting back on these foods could help towards increasing your libido. You can also eat the proper foods that can help increase testosterone levels without taking any type of medications. Fruits with B vitamins help in sexual hormone production. Bananas, and avocados are an example. Eggs as well as certain types of fish, i.e. Salmon also carry a source of B5, B6 and B12 vitamins. Oysters and certain kinds of nuts, i.e. pine nuts and almonds are excellent because they are rich in zinc which raises testosterone and sperm levels. Celery is also a great food because it contains the hormone androsterone which helps in sexual stimulation. I hope this helps.:)

The acupuncture recipe for that:

Darkness--->Heat--->Homo sedate, Hetero tone up

For stronger blood inflow in the area:

Heat ---> Heat---> Hetero---> Darkness---> Heat: Dryness sedate,
Heat tone up

You need to go to your doctor and get a full check up, this will rule out any other contributing health problem that you may have. Men find asking a doctor for help extremely embarrassing but it is necessary for yourself and for your loved one. He may give you a course of pills such as Cialis or Viagra which should restore function or he may recommend something else. Whatever the case go and find out.

Hello,
I'm sure everything said before is excellent advice but I can't help but wonder how your wife is reacting to it. Is she expecting a marathon session with you? As you haven't been married long, perhaps you think you should be as randy as your pals and are worrying too much. One guy I was involved with a few years ago had similar problem but I was sympathetic to him and didn't expect a performance. We talked & cuddled a lot and eventually things happened naturally and then went from strength to strength. However, it certainly wouldn't hurt to be checked out by your GP although I'm sure its probably come down to inexperience.

Since you remained a virgin until you were thirty, I wonder if you have low testosterone levels which cause low sex drive. Maybe have your testosterone tested with a simple blood test. I believe you can use testosterone cream daily, like HRT, or only when you need it. Women with a low sex drive use it as well since women have testosterone, too, which diminishes with age.

Often well meaning advice can be counterproductive. See your GP ASAP, explain the problem and get yourself referred to a medical specialist in Erectile Dysfunction if necessary. There may well be a simple solution but you need to make the first move and have a comprehensive medical check.

You said " but now, when if I do get an erection, I end up ejaculating too quickly."

My reply:
This can be a sensitivity issue, or over excitement. Get some pleasurable time alone, and enjoy touching yourself, get yourself used to the stimulation. As you feel the energy building up, stop and give it a rest, trying not to come. Then wank (I'm sorry I don't know a better term) again. Keep doing this until you find you can prolong the ejaculation. And hey, if it doesn't work, you'll have fun trying.

Also, if you have been saving yourself for marriage, you may have some beliefs about sex being taboo. Or, were you and your wife friends for a long time before having sex? In your way, you were respecting your pre-wife by not acting sexually towards her. Now you have the barrier to cross from friend to wife. It can be done. Plenty of good natural therapists out there to support you on this one. Otherwise google "EMF" emotional freedom technique and do it on yourself regarding all those taboos. Always better to get an expert where possible though.

Oh crap...I've just realized this forum is 2 years old. Oh well, hey Cowboy, how did it all work out for you?

Hi cowboy, are you in good physical shape? I ask because you are just 30, not too old and unlikely to have ED ... yet.

Being overweight can affect erectile strength as fatty deposits on arteries can slow blood flow to the penis tissues.

Before spending a bomb consulting with a urologist, you may want to shape up and watch your diet. You may even want to include some herbal pills that can help improve blood circulation and raise your testosterone levels.

Hope this helps 🙂

Many people do not know that there are a number of reasons why you might not be able to get an erection, fitness and nerves being two of them. I read a hilarious info-graphic called Flaccid Truth Erectile Dysfunction here:
