Erection Stamina
by jimmyc101111, Mar 14, 2006 12:00AM
I am 43 years old. I have just started dating a new woman. Twice in the last two days, we have attempted sex. Prior to the act, I have an erection, which is strong. This is present for as long as an hour before. However, when it comes time for the act, both times the erection is lost and I can not get it back. Both times this occurred right at the time of penetration. I have been taking Propecia for a year. I am coming off a long term marriage, where sex was very limited (once a year or so) so I really can not tell if this was something that may have occurred in the past as I have nothing to compare. The first time we attempted sex (three days ago) there was no problem. I work out and have a good diet. Thanks

You can consider metabolic causes - such as thyroid disease, diabetes, or a low testosterone level. Blood tests can evaluate for these diseases.
A vascular exam can be considered - as well as an ultrasound to evaluate penile flow.
If the tests return negative, more psychogenic causes can be considered and discussed with your personal physician.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
