Penis problems soft Posted: 03-17-08 09:46am
Not sure if I can post here, so sorry if
it's in the wrong place.
I'm going out with a guy and we haven't
been together long but we have slept
together. It hasn't happened much so far
but the last couple of times we have tried
he goes soft after a few minutes, before
he even enters me. He's 21, no health
problems, doesn't smoke or drink
excessively and I believe he gets enough
sleep and stuff like that. What could be
wrong? I thought it might have just been a
one off since he said it's never happened
before, but it's happened the last couple
of times we've tried. Could it indicate a
bigger problem? Should he see a doc?

Although going to the doctor might not be
a bad idea, it probably isn't needed yet.
Seeing as your BF is in his early 20s,
puberty is ending and his sex drive is
balancing out to the point where he
doesn't have erections as frequently any
more. It isn't uncommon to lose an
erection during foreplay, just as long as
it can be brought back for the main event
if you will.
Try having sex at different times of day
as well. I find that having a very set
sexual routine e.g. just having sex in bed
at night, starts to lose its magic.
Morning sex, typically aided by a sleep
erection, is a great time in the day to
have sex for a man.

Oh right, I'll try that and see how it
goes. It's pretty awkward, since we only
really get to see each other on night
times but we'll try. I hope it's not going
to be a problem. He lost it duing foreplay
earlier today and we tried before sex but
no joy. He got a little frustrated about
it. How long do you think this has to
persist before it warrants a trip to the
dr? I mean I hope it doesn't persist lol

Give it a week or so. Often, erectile
dysfunction is psychological although
there's a chance it may be physiological.
