writes:my boyfriend sometimes looses his erection during sex. It used to be every once in a while but its happening more often. Recently its to the point where its hard for him to get an erection let alone keep one. Is this normal or could this be that he has lost his sexual attraction for me? I have asked him if its me and he says no but i honestly dont know.

Nope. Not you at all. Type up 'Erectile Dysfunction', and you'll find the truth. This can be caused by stress, tiredness, anxiety, older age, lack or proper nutrition and diet, too much weight, more stress etc etc. There are plenty of reasons that this can happen. None of them at all indicate that you're to blame in any way, and it's important you believe him and help him because if you don't, he will get more stressed and this will cause more problems. This is not a big deal, and needs to be treated as such. If he's having problems, it may well be best for him to see a doctor to get a check up. Other than that, it's just about you both being stress free, healthy and such. Its not you at all.

In my mid to late 30's, I very seldomly just wasn't as hard as I used to be. It became more common when I was stressed. I now have the same problem if I have sex more than every other day because I'm just not as horny.
It could have a LITTLE to do with aging, but most guys will be hard well into their 50's and 60's and beyond. If he's stressed, that is the #1 erection killer. Medical issues, like diabetes, can also be a cause. Hormone imbalances, like low testosterone can also affect guys. I'd tell him to have his blood tested and analyze th estresses he may be going through.
