24 and having issues

Ok so I am 24 and in decent shape. I don't try to take care of myself, but at the same time I am not overweight. Recently I have been having a loss of sexual desire towards my girlfriend and have been having issues getting an erection. We have been together for 6 months and she lives with me. It started out just being 2-4 times a week, now it's becoming more difficult to even do that. I have been sexually active for about 10 years, and had over 40 different partners and it starting to become a trend. Lately, after the first 5-10 times having sex with someone, I lose my interest. I dated one girl for 4 years and never had any issues with her. We did it just about everyday. I dealt with that breakup very difficultly. I know I don't have any std's since I get tested every 6 months. I just don't understand why and how this could happen. I don't do drugs. I rarely drink alcohol. But I do smoke cigarettes. And I am very attracted to my girlfriend. I just don't understand why my "member" doesn't seem to agree. I haven't talked to my doctor about it since it's pretty embarrassing and I'm in overall good health. Someone help!

You overcome emotional issues by talking to a therapist or counselor.  You don't want to be stuck with this problem.

Well I thought that too AnnieBrooke. The one girl I can say I was truly in love with was the one that I never had problems with. But at the same time, it's been 3 years ago. I don't know what to do and I'm just kinda wary as to any potential problems. I'm sure its probably 90% emotional but i'm not sure how to over come it...

Well, ciggies don't help.  There is an ad around here that says they can cause impotence.  But with as many partners you have had, maybe the problem is that you're not really in love with the women, you are just excited about the new body, and when that wears off, you're pretty much done.  Talk to your doctor to rule out a physical cause, and then maybe talk to a counselor to understand the possible emotional reasons.
