doc, i cannot get an erection when
confronted with the possibility of sex. I
often, however, get erections and random
times in the day and in the mornings as
well as when i masturbate. When i am in an
intimate situation though my penis remains
flaccid despite the fact that i am really
turned on and really want to have sex. I
am a virgin. I think of the most kinky
fantasies to try get an erection but
nothing seems to get it up. this has
happened on 2 occassions now and it has
started worrying me. on both occassions i
was completely sober. its like my penis
will not respond.
what should i do? am i impotent? is there
any medication that'll help?
I am at a complete loss. its as tho my
body wont listen to my head. your help
will be greatly appreciated.

Erectile dysfunction, as it has been
described in your case, typically manifest
for young men. Impotency may be due to
anxiety (psychogenic impotency) or
inexperience and you may not need
medications. It might help to promote
relaxation and have greater faith in your
sexual ability.
The erection of the penis is a complicated
psycho-neuro-vascular reflex. Various
types of psycho-emotional factors such as
fear, shame, and/or anxiety can disturb
the erectile process. You can’t expect
to be an excellent lover after your first
2 sexual attempts or experiences. You
might, however, try to find a partner who
will be emotionally close to you, first,
and then explore your relationship
sexually. If the relationship with your
girlfriend is set on a solid emotional
foundation, she will probably be more
tolerant of the situation and will have
greater patience for any temporary
erectile dysfunction.
