I'm having trouble keeping my dick hard/ maintaining erection any advice?
I'm 18 and I'm goin out with a 28 year old woman. We get along great, there's tons of sexual attraction, there's lots of fun outside of intimacy but the problem is, I have trouble keeping my dick hard during sex. I have no trouble getting hard in the first place, and we usually mess around A LOT before sex, but once we start making love, if we switch positions, for some reason I can't keep my dick hard through it. She'll try to help me out but once the time comes, I either can't keep my dick hard enough to go in or it sometimes loses some of its hardness in the course of the sex.
Please help! I don't know what to do. I smoke occasionally, and I know about the blood vessels and such but this has never been a problem for me. I'm a former high school football player in great shape and I still exercise regularly. I eat a decent diet, but it irkes me cause I've never had sex problems even when I was smoking a lot and eating poorly. Please help! I want to make her climax through vaginal sex
Okay, I don't think you guys understand. If I was 50, obviously viagra would be a more viable solution. I am 18 years old! AND I haven't had this problem with other women. I'm not so high-and-mighty that I will dismiss taking some medical help or asking for some advice. It's just, this is a weird problem and a weird situation.
We've been going out for almost a week, and we've been sexually intimate 4 times and 3 of those times, we tried to have sex. And then that problem came, so for me, the only way I can consistently please her to climax is through oral sex and manual stimulation.
I don't think it's a problem of attraction, she is 28 but has the body of like a 23 or 24 year old. She used to work as a go-go dancer and her face is very pretty and elegant.
Another thing is, while we're fooling around, I get hard just fine, but if she tries to make me climax, she works at it for long periods of time(at least 45 min each time) and I just can't climax. Trust me, it's not a lack of exp
I seriously think that 90% of you idiots are just posting answers just to get your measley little answer points up and raise your petty little ranks on this depressing website.
I am being open-minded about this, but you guys aren't sharing the same train of thought as me. I DOUBT very much so that I have E.D. And I sincerely doubt that I will need any sort of medical assistance.
I made it EXPLICITLY clear that I don't have erection problems when I fool around with her. I can keep it hard through fooling around, oral sex, all of that, but once it comes time for the pussy, I can't keep it hard. We would be making love in one position for like 10 minutes and I would be fine. Not a bit of edge would be lost. But once we switch it up, my little dude doesn't stay at attention and refuses to salute the sergeant.
IF I had E.D, I'm no expert, but I would imagine that I would have trouble throughout the whole intimacy process and just in general. Which I don't, and never have. Please help..

Erectile Dysfunction is not necessarily physical brotha. You need to understand that if you can get hard in other situations, but not during intercourse, then it IS E.D. Temporary or not, it is still E.D (psychological form).
I'll tell ya what I think, it is performance anxiety. The first time you have sex with someone you might "mess things up," ejaculate too early, get nervous and not stay hard, ect ect. The first time unfortunately sets the bar. Each time you have sex with her after that, you might be thinking "oh no, i must do better, i must do better...please, don't change positions, i'll lose my erection!" And now you are in an unhealthy mindset that will only snowball unless you work really really hard to fix it.
A penis' rigidity and erection strength comes from your brain. Your brain tells it to get hard and then some physical things happen with blood flow. If you are not relaxed, your mind is not going to be willing to send those signals to the penis.
I am 22, and I just got out of a relationship with a 30 year old. The same problem existed for me as it does for you. I was never able to get over it with her. I got to the point where there was no longer any physical attraction in my eyes. If you don't fix the problem right now, it will only snowball. Now it affects me in other relationships. "OH no, I hope I don't lose my erection like I did with her." You have to relax; have her give you a backrub. Try lights out. Candles. Music you enjoy. Then when you start having sex, keep your mind ON sex, but not on your performance.

It's not unusual for women to only be able to climax with oral and/or digital stimulation, you're trying for something that's not needed, and the end result is frustration for you, and probably her too, because she's not going to benefit from excess intercourse. The dick, to a woman, is not the be all end all of a sexual experience. I hope that doesn't hurt your feelings I know men take a deep interest in that organ, but to a woman any way she climaxes is just fine.
The whole clitoral v vaginal climax is a very old idea, all the way back to Freud, who thought one was infantile and the other adult. He was wrong about that too.
So don't approach this as a dick thing, you've been disappointed in that and for that reason your dick isn't going to be happy and each time you approach her now your thinking that in some way you're not 'right' and nothing makes a man wilt faster that thinking he's not doing it right. Enjoy yourself, and let her enjoy herself and then...stop.

You know I have the same problem. But only if I'm with someone new. I was with my ex for 4 years and never had an issue getting hard or staying hard but anytime I'm with someone new the first few times I can get hard but won'tstay hard for long. II'm guessing it's nerves and being worried I'm not going to be able to please her. It really is a shitty first impression but with me it usually passes after the 5th or 6th time. What helps me is I jerk off right before I meet up with her. That 15 to 20 minutes after makes me not even think about sex for a while. Then when the time comes I can go hours. So like someone else said it's psychological.

Massage her, use some type of lavender oil etc, explore her body, take your time, when the time comes **** her slowly don't go "megarabbit" on her, slowly lick her until she comes after that put a pillow under her pelvis and penetrate her until you come, thats it, i do this 1 time a week, sometimes 2 usually on fridays, she's happy for the rest of the week no problems and that makes me feel good. Tryit. NOTE give her some booze that will help her with her negative thoughts of you not getting hard.

Chemistry can play a role in the scheme of things. Ferimones! Undetected can affect the host. Your body's natural chemistry may subconsciously have no connection for this woman. Women can fake "attraction" you being 18 it's disturbing on her end to why she even enteraining the idea, the shallow nature we have as humans differ in gender. Her life may be a downhill travel with exxtra baggage along with it, so she can be "faking" it all, in- turn your subconscious mind is picking up on it. This can cause a lack of desire, the ferimones are released and send out a signal to your sub-mind hey, im wasting my time. Hence the shortened erection time just fess up she's not the one your sexually designed to function with..stop forcing it you'll find other partners who better fit the task.
