Erection Problem Or Not??
Posted: 07-01-07 09:35am

I'm 21 years old and have been dating my girlfriend for 2 years. I never have any problem at all getting an erection around her. We used to date on and off in high school. During one of these "off" times I was with another girl. We went to fool around one time and I couldn't even get an erection even though she was really attractive to me. I honestly feel that I can only get an erection around my girlfriend and no other girl. I can get an erection by myself or looking at porn but I am almost positive if some beautiful girl came up to me and wanted to fool around, that I would not be able to get an erection. I feel that if I were to break up with my girlfriend, that it would take forever (if at all) to get an erection with a new girl. Is this just a psychological problem or possibly a medical one? Thanks a lot for the help.

Since you are able to get an erection, it sounds like you do not have a medical problem. A medical problem would not just show up when your girlfriend isn't around, then leave when she is! So it definitely sounds psychological to me.

A lot of times, guys have trouble getting erections if they are not comfortable with the situation. So it's possible that you just weren't comfortable with that other girl or situation, but you are comfortable with your girlfriend. If you two do breakup, it might take you a little while to become completely comfortable with a new girl, but that's not at all unusual.

don't worry, mate. there is nothing wrong with you. you are just nervous because you are with someone different. for a lot of people it just takes to get closer to someone and build up trust before you can pluck up the courage! the penis may be a sex organ, but the truth is the biggest sex organ is your brain!!! that's where all the signals have to come from if you are to get an erection. if you are even slightly nervous, or wondering what she'll think of your penis or your body, or worrying about whether she'll like it or not, then it isn't gonna work. it's just the way it is. any decent girl will understand. and it's nothing to beat yourself up about. it's happened to every guy i've ever been with. and it always gets better once i've got to know them. you just need to take things at your pace and chill out Smile
