Weak erections in a young man

Hello,

I'm 20 years old and in my second year of college. I'm experiencing a few problems, sexually. For the past two years or so, I've been having somewhat weak erections. I used to get fully hard when I was younger, but in the past two years, my erections have dropped down to something like 70-80% of what it used to be.

On top of that, I orgasm incredibly quickly. I've only had sex a few times, but each time, I had an orgasm within 20 seconds of starting. I believe the two (weak erections and early ejaculation) are related to each other.

I'm 20 years old. I'm in average shape (not overweight, not underweight). I work out a few times a week. I'm not on any drugs other than a few topicals for my acne. I just can't figure out why I'm experiencing problems like this that I thought I would encounter with older age.

Thanks for any help

Thing are still poor for me. I believe what I have is a result of excessive masturbation from when i was younger. When I was 15-17 or so, I used to have incredibly hard erections and it would sometimes take me ~20 minutes to have an orgasm. Alas, I masturbated a few times a day and I think I just overdid it. Hope it gets better.. I've since started masturbating only 1-2 times a week.

You are young and healthy and I'm sure you have nothing to worry about. It's perfectly normal to fail every now and then, especially if you're a bit inexperienced (we've all been there before). When I was your age (today I'm 33) I suffered from PE but as my partner and I got more comfortable with each other, things improved naturally.

First and foremost, I suggest you do some research and try to learn as much as you can on the subject of sexual health. Read books, talk to experts, search the Internet. The more you know about these problems, the less stressful they will be.

If your problems persist for more than three months, I suggest you go see a urologist. Don't worry, ED and PE are extremely common and it's no shame to seek professional help. Even if this is 'just in the head' and there's nothing organically wrong with you, a urologist will be able to help you.

In my case, a new ED drug called VIGAMED (oral phentolamine) was very effective: VIGAMED (formerly known as Vasomax) blocks sympathetic action in the penis (the sympathetic system controls ejaculation and penile detumescence) and this may improve erections and delay ejaculation. VIGAMED is not available in the US but you can order it online. Again, consult your urologist before you decide to try any drug or natural supplement.

Hi guys
I was wondering how are thigns going with you since your last post? have u had any answeres, have the things improved for you?
I am a girl, but my boyfriend has something that resambles a lot to what you describe. He is 23, his erecions are many times (although not always) weak, and many times they do not last very long. Also he comes to quick, although some positions are better than others. But at the end I would say that it looks like a combination of premature ejeculation and erectile dysfunction... Hvae u seen any doctors? is there anything that you suggest a partner to do in order to help?
