ED or NOT
I have always had a wonderful sex life till three weeks ago. I had sex with a girl and was not able to get an erection for round two. Both of us tried everything possible to get it up but miserably failed. Before that day I had always been able to have sex for as long as I wanted, at times 4-5 rounds. So after a few days, I had sex again and it was great, I managed 5 rounds back to back. At this point, I thought everything was fine until a week later when it happened again. I wasn't able to perform past one round on two separate occasions. I am so embarrassed and stressed up now. Initially, I thought it had to do with anxiety and other psychological issues since I currently have serious financial issues that make me think and worry too much. I am still able to get an erection but it is killing me to think that at 24, I will not be able to satisfy my woman. Is this ED? How can I reverse it to my previous wonderful mode? I am so stressed that I can not even eat now. The fact that my girlfriend loves sex makes it even worse.
Hey, relax a little! You're putting WAY too much pressure on yourself to 'perform' up to some arbitrary standard. Most guys would love to be able to do repeat & even 3rd, 4th or 5th times. You mentioned financial troubles - that is definitely a big stressor & stress is a big-time enemy of male sexual performancev& this extra stress definitely could be slowing you down just a bit. I definitely do NOT think this is ED - ED is usually defined as not being able to achieve an erection suitable for intercourse even ONE time, not a case of getting it up once or twice, then running out of steam! Every guy's 'performance' (not a good word for this in my opinion) will be somewhat less over time, but it's way too early to be thinking this is your problem. And putting even more (totally unnecessary) pressure on yourself to 'perform' (UGHH - that word again !!) just makes the situation worse. If your GF is putting pressure on you to 'perform' multiple times, and doesn't understand that even the best of us have limits, then maybe it's time to find someone who's a little more understanding. Most women would be VERY impressed at what you've been able to do to this point. Also, keep in mind that there are many other ways to please her besides intercourse. You do NOT have ED - if anything, you're performing well above the norm...
