Medical or mental?

My husband is only 35 years old. He has always lost his erections very easily. A simple change in position, a brief lapse in stimulation, or even just reaching for the condom and he is soft. He can usually get his erection back, but I wonder if this is normal?

He is also very thin, often tired, and has very cold hands.

Could he have hormone problems? Or is this likely a mental thing?

The most likely cause of your husband's problem is a bit of performance anxiety erectile dysfunction.. He will be OK but some meds would help from time to time.

From a personal standpoint. My boyfriend kinda has the same problem, not quite like what you're describing. If something disracts him like the hpoen ringing or a knock on the door, something that requires the activity to stop he can lose his concentration and go limp. He can get it back as well. However, if whatever it is that could be distracting him, makes him go limp it could upset him enough to the point where he can't get it back up.

If he can get it back up as quickly as you say it really could just be a focusing thing or the stop of stimulation. Try putting the condom on while playing with his balls, for a lack of better wording at the moment. You could also try stimulating a hot spot on him, somewhere that really gets him going to keep him up while putting the condom on.
