30 Sep 08 Do I have Erectile Dysfunction?
Things between me and my gf were so good. Lately I’ve been losing my erection during sex. I’m usually able to get one before intercourse at least. Well tonight for the first time I couldn’t even get up at all. Is this most likely mental or physical? I’d rather not see a doctor but will if I feel I have to. This is really upsetting for me.
Okay, having troubles with your erection is an upsetting thing. No matter how young you are or how old you are, you just expect your penis to perform whenever you need it to, right?
But things don’t always work out like that.
You need to ask yourself a few questions:
- How’s my health? - If you’re having health problems right now and you’re on any medications, that can cause troubles with your erections. Check with your doctor about changing your prescriptions to something a little friendlier to your sex life. If you’re not on any prescriptions, and you’ve been feeling under the weather, maybe it’s time to schedule an appointment for a checkup.
- How’s my stress? - If you’re stressed out, your risk of erection troubles goes up. Think about it, you’re worried and your body isn’t quite up to the task of sex. Try to find ways to relax and you can generally see improvement pretty quickly.
- How’s my fatigue? - If you’ve been missing out on sleep, it’s time to catch up to help your penis get back in the game.
- How’s my relationship? - You say that you and your girlfriend are doing okay, so that’s probably not an issue. But if you have faced rough times in the past, that can affect your erections.
- How old am I? - Men who are older have a higher risk of erectile dysfunction, so if you’re over 50, you might need to go to your doctor for some help.
So, how did you do on these questions? Find any answers? Here’s the best advice - don’t stress out about it. The more tense you become about getting hard, the harder it will be. Relax, enjoy yourself, and you’ll soon find erection troubles to be a thing of the past.
