erection problem

[lostguy1]

im 18 and i performed sex with my girlfriend 3 1/2 months ago, i was nervous and i couldn't get hard that night. Before then i could always get very hard very easily with my girlfriend. I know my problem is in my head but its been 3 1/2 months and i still have problems getting a erection and a good erection for that matter. I cant seem to stop thinking whether im hard or not and thats what the issue is but i cant get it out of my head and its been a while and its taking a hold of my life. i considered taking pills but im pretty sure i dont have E.D seeing as i cant get hard when im with her because im nervous if im hard or not, and believe me i have tried not to worry about it and just go with the flow but it just wont leave my head. Please help

There are two major reasons why a guy can't get or maintain an erection. One is ohysical and the other is psychological.

If it's a physical reason it'sknown as Erectile Dysfunction. This can either be due to nerve damage or decreased blood flow to the penis. If it's decreased blood flow medications like Viagra and Cialis can help increase the flow. That's the only time they're indicated.

Ads fpr psychological reasons, there are ways to check for this. For example, do you wake up in the morning with a full erection? If so, it is not a physical problem. Can you get a full erection and maintain it for masturbation? If so, the problem has to do with a fear or concern over intercourse. The problem is, the more you think about it the more the problem is going to persist.

There are a number of causes. Fera of pregnancy (are you using a birth control that you are sure of), fear pf inadequate performance (is your partner putting pressure on you to perform well).

Try easing into the sex. Try mutual masturbation until you reach orgasm, for example. Once you're comfortable with that, while she's masturbating you, when you almost reach the "point of no return," try intercourse. It takes patience and practice. Good luck.
