Someone Please Help Or Reassure Me
Posted: 07-27-04 20:55pm

In my life ive had "sex" with 2 girls. The reason I put quotes around it is because I can't get hard. Im a college student...This is supposed to be a breeze, right? It takes me way too long to get hard, and its not even a full erection. And of course...It also disappears far too soon. When I am about to receive oral sex....Its just humiliation waiting to happen

i dont know wut to do. I went to see a doctor about it, yes, I was able to work up the guts, but he didnt do anything bc at the time I wasnt sexually active (bc my gf broke up with me just a week or so before that probably for this very reason). He said to come back in a couple months. Theres no way I can go to my parents with this, and I stuggled immensely even hinting at this problem with my best (guy) friend.

Ive looked online at these sites...And it seems like depression is usually the problem. I do go thru stages of depression, but when im involved with a girl...It goes away(i am the clingy type)..So I dont know if thats the answer.

When I attempted to have sex, it was a distaster. It always ended up being me giving the oral pleasure, me realize im not going to be able to get it up and then us cuddling with me wanting to shoot myself

i should mention both girls ive been intimate with, I didnt wait long...2 days with one and maybe a week with the other...Perhaps that has something to do with it.

Since then and before then I have masterbated..Almost everyday, often times twice. I dont know why, but often times I cant fall asleep unless I masterbate..Even if im not horny, I just do it so I can go to sleep( I also have insomnia so im depserate just to get to sleep most nights). I really hate myself...And im beginning to wonder whether all this causes my depression, or my depression causes all this. I should mention also that I have no problem getting and staying hard during masterbation. Also I kind of have the same problem with meeting girls now. Aside from the normal guy panziness like there is something extra holdng me back from going to talk to girls...And I think it might be the fact that even if I get my way with them im just going to end up embarrasing myself.

I just want to slap myself when I realize im actually considering those viagra popups ads that always come up

im soo lost and my self-esteem is low enough without all this garbage to worry about. Can someone please offer some advice? Am I addicted to porn? Is it because im depressed? Something....Please help this poor guy out.....

It's really probably an emotional/mental thing opposed to a physical thing because you can get it up during masturbation. I'm not an expert at this but the most logical thing you should try doing, that everyone says to do, is stop masturbating yourself for a while and see what happens. Also, I know it's harder done than said, but try not to think about it so much, it's not the end of the world. Maybe you should browse around for a while and look for a girl you don't necessarily want to sleep with, but have a relationship with. If that fills some kind of void, and you feel comfortable with her, then you either won't have your problem anymore or she'll understand and try to help you.

I try to stop masterbating...But as I said I have insomnia, ive tried to go a while without jerking off but it just makes falling asleep harder, so to get even a couple hours sleep I just need to do it...It doesnt even feel good....Im scared I might be addicted because this is what I hear about drug addicts...Like they just take the drugs so they can function normally

First of all I just wanna give you a hug and try to get you to relax for just a moment... This isnt going to go away if you stress about it all the time. Alot of times, things like this are in your head.. You tell yourself you wont be able to have an erection so then u just cant. If youre so worried about getting it hard that you cant focus on enjoying whosever company your with or enjoying the moment or the feelings that it wont happen. You need to have some confidence in yourself. Its ok to be shy to talk to girls, girls are just as shy to talk to guys. Could this be a result of something else that happened to you. Was sex viewed as a "bad" thing to do when you were a kid or did you have a bad sexual experience when you were younger. Go look in the mirror and point out some good qualities about yourself, both physical and personality wise. Be confident and realize that everyone has their insecurities, focus on how it feels to be with someone instead of worrying about an erection. Im not sure about the sleeping thing, relax be comfortable and think about something that makes you happy, not the fact that u cant sleep.Good luck and I hope ya feel better

Alright, you're going to have to sacrifice one for the other...What do you want more, sleep or sex? Okay, i'm half-kidding. If you really can't stop then try to do the second part of what I said. Don't look to sleep with a girl but look for a relationship. Insomnia and not being able to get an erection might be entwined in your case, because they both seem to be mental issues.

Hey man, I agree with jeffsgirl. You remind me of me. It seems like you are a worrier just like I am. It really is a mental thing. The mind is a powerful influence. I've looked at a lot of threads and talked to a lot of people and it seems like the people who have these problems are the ones who constantly think about it. As I read on one thread if you constantly think "get hard, get hard" you won't. Don't focus on this, instead focus on how it feels to touch her, how your lips feel on hers, etc. This problem happens because you worry and you worry because it happens. End this cycle. Get yourself together, take a deep breath and relax. It most likely is a mental thing because you are hard when you masterbate. As far as the masterbation thing goes, it might be linked to the depression. I sometimes do this or watch porn because I want an instant pleasure and gratification to escape a depressed moment. Find another outlet to vent your depression..I have and it worked. But please, take a deep breath you will be fine. Have some confidence in yourself and know that you are okay. I am shy too and you know what? There is not a thing wrong with it!! Take care!

If It's Before 40+ Yrs It Is a Very Serious Health Issue

Erection with masturbation usually vanishes later that the
rest of them. That however is not very reassuring on long
term, because that also will disapear in time.

Definitely use cialis and on a regular basis, enough that you
would function normally every day (eg spontaneous night
and morning erections). It doesn't have to be just for sex.
Your problem is part of a greater one that is ignored on
purpose by the doctors (urologists and cardiologists) and the
media. The reason is that so far it cannot be stopped (i am
not talking cure here), but cialis (get a prescription) may help
in delaying the process of the disease.
This problem if appears under 45 yrs is due to heart and arterial
congenital defects that will cause an accelerated degradation of
your arteries, heart, lungs, etc. It is a circulation problem not a stress
problem although it may seems so and the doctors (especially the
psychiatrists will swear so).
You will be fine for about 15-17 yrs from other symptoms, but
when somebody will refer you to a psychiatrist be careful. You may
be close to being committed involuntary into a psychiatric hospital
so that they will hide your suffering from the naive society.
Once you are in that state, you have no civil rights, nobody (doctors,
lawyers, media) will help you. You will be lost in a black hole from
where nobody escapes.
Sorry to give you the bad news but it's better that people know
about it in advance instead of finding out too late that they are
hunted like animals by psychiatrists years later.
Hopefully, by then the doctors and the governments will become
more humane in treating people like you when the time comes.

Therefore, enjoy your life now as much as possible, and don't
forget that the doctors are not always your friends.

Ps: you should be worried when cialis doesn't work anymore,
you become dizzy, have respiratory problems, pressure in your
ears, have pain and neurologic symptoms, etc.
When that happens don't go to any hospital, especially a large one.
