Diet causing weaker erections?

A male South Africa age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Hello

I know this is not a health site, but I am sure that having some extra pointers or thoughts on my situation I'll have more clarity as I am somewhat baffled.

I am 26yrs old, male, in moderate shape, I do not exercise, but I am in good shape. I've mostly had an average body. I only drink socially, and do not smoke. I don't have any serious health issues.

I do not have a particularly healthy diet as it is not regular in terms of regular intake of fruits or veg. I drink lots of water and avoid fizzy cool drinks.

However before I did exercise and probably did eat better.

My situation is that I am now with a partner,that has a higher sex drive than I am used to, whom I love dearly we have been dating for almost a year. Reason being that before my previous relationship was long distance so i was not able to be intimate as often as I have been now, however before as I stated I probably did take better care of my diet.

My concern is that I have found that my erections are not as hard as they used to be, and when we get intimate I start to worry if my erection will be hard through out..as I have started noticing that its not the same, then ironically after we made love.. I have another erection, so i don't think I have a problem in getting an erection.

I am concerned on keeping it throughout making love.

I have come to wonder if my lack of healthy eating and foods rich in vitamins and regular exercise might be a factor to my problem, as I do not take any daily multi vitamins, hardly eat fruits and vegs.. Infact I do not have a regular healthy stable diet, but i do not eat junk food, (if that makes sense)

In your opinion, and knowledge, do you think that this is a factor contributing to my erections not being as strong as they once were when perhaps I was eating better and going to gym?

Your thoughts and opinions will be most appreciated and steer me in the right direction to hopefully rectifying this current situation.

Thanking you in advance.

I went from a 14 year marriage with a very submissive woman and a boring, but physically compatible sex life with raging erections, to a 9 month relationship with a very highly sexed (more than me) woman where I couldn't keep it up for MONTHS. We had fine oral, but I'd lose it during penetration. It was totally mental...partly because of the huge difference in women, partly because of getting through the divorce and all the stress that caused. It wasn't until I was free of the situation and the stress went away that I began to have normal erections. I came for the first time performing vaginal sex 2 weeks ago...the first time in over 8 months of very active sex. Don't worry, it's stress. Find ways to remove the stress from your life, get used to her sexuality, and it will get back to normal in no time.

Fatherly Advice agony auntOut of necessity I end up researching this too much. Lately I found that zinc can play a part in it. If you are having trouble getting a good diet, take a regular supplement. It is relatively cheap and very safe. Liquid supplements like ensure are more easily absorbed. Just put a six pack in your fridge each week. Since you are eating irregularly. Using them as a snack will help you get them in.

While diet and overall health are important mush of the problem is likely in your head. You feel challenged by your new girlfriends appetite. That causes Stress. Stress will put the little guy down for the count quicker than anything. Relax and remember that she chose you. Also for women the most erogenous zone is between their ears, not between their legs. You are obviously keeping her happy.
