Hello,

I am 20yrs, and have this issue about sexual erection.

Well,I am a virgin and lately I have become quite concerned about just how long should a sexual erection last? I feel quite uncomfortable when I am horny especially in the morning since my erection can last several hours about 2-4hrs, Is is normal I mean is it ok? Do other guys my age or older experience this? I mean having an erection; I mean a penis arousal for like 2-4hrs?

Thank you for your help.

Unfortunately, no. I have found that the ability to maintain an erection for a long time without stimulation does not correlate to how long you can last having sex. If I'm really into a woman and I don't pace myself, I can have an orgasm within a few minutes of starting intercourse. Whereas thinking about the same woman (but not touching myself or her) I can stay erect for hours.

Don't worry about how long you last, though. It is a common misconception for virgins. Also, the first few times you have sex you will probably cum very quickly. That's normal. To make things more pleasurable for her, focus on foreplay before intercourse. As you get more experience, you will last longer.

Just remember to play safe when you're having fun!

Hello,

Double Jack

Thanks for your in put. I appreciate.I am at peace now (I don't use Viagra or any other drugs of the sort). I and my new girlfriend are yet to make love, but soon in a couple of weeks. Does this mean, I can last for multiple hours having sex as well?

Yes, that's normal. I've had morning wood erections that last for multiple hours, even at age 36. Usually this is when I'm laying in bed, horny, and in a state of semi-consciousness. As long as you aren't taking anything like Viagra then there is nothing to be concerned with. If you want your erection to go away, masturbation or exercise work for me. Of course if you have a sexual partner handy that works too :)

Best of luck!
