Erection Problems, Only 23 Years Old.. Posted: 06-13-07 09:07am
Lately I have been having some performance
issues. I have been with my girlfriend for
almost 3 years now and up until recently,
we never had any problems when it came to
sex, I could perform with no problem.
Recently, I have come under a lot of
stress due to my new job, and I think I am
also getting depressed as well. I've had a
negative attitude for a while now and I
feel like I have a lot of anxiety as well.
Lately whenever my girlfriend and I try to
have sex, I get hard, but I can't stay
hard unless I am inside right away, I tend
to go soft before entering and I am easily
distracted by noises around me. I have
also been masturbating a lot lately, for
some reason I can stay hard during
masturbation. I also haven't been getting
a lot of sleep lately either and I am
always tired. Is this normal for a 23 year
old?
Should I be considering viagra or are
these just psychological issues I need to
work out? Has anyone else experienced
problems at such a young age? Any comments
or advice would be appreciated. I hope
this passes soon as it is causing
frustration in the relationship as one can
easily imagine. Thanks.

It doesn't sound like a physical problem.
It sounds like it's in your head. You said
you're becoming distracted... well it
sounds to me like sex is getting boring.
spice things up!

Wait, so you're telling me that stress and
anxiety, and depression that I have has
nothing to do with me not being able to
perform? Its not that the sex is boring,
its just I have so much going on in my
head in terms of stress and anxiety, that
I can't concentrate.

No, it does not sound like you should be
considering viagra yet. What you are
going through is very common. It is
usually psychological issues that need to
be worked out. Make sure you keep
communicating with your partner. You can
also try therapy, if you haven't already,
to help you through it.

That's great. I hope it does help you.
Let us know how it goes. Naturally, you
probably won't see results right away, but
that's all part of the process.

Stress, anxiety and depression are all
mental conditions. They can have physical
effects, but they start as mental
conditions. i think you'll do fine in
therapy.
