I can't maintain an erection with my current partner! What can I do?

Question - (12 August 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 14 August 2009)
A male United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

My girlfriend and I are having some problems with sex. I can't seem to maintain my erections with her. I've never had this problem with any of my previous partners, so I don't believe (and really want to refuse to believe) that it's some sort of medical issue. But if it's not that, then what is it?

She doesn't like having the lights on when we make love, plus there are people upstairs who we might wake up. Could it just be that I'm nervous? I'm really worried that I'm not attracted to her sexually. I think I am. I was all over her last night, but just before the time came for me to put on a condom, i'd gone limp. I felt so pathetic!! This can't happen again, so what can I do? Is there anything I might be consuming that is having an effect on my erection? She's diabetic, so I usually drink sugar free soft drinks at her place. Could it be them?

Can anyone help me?

Its probably psychological, erection problems often are- and there more stressed you are the more likely it is to go limp.

Try to relax, concentrate on other forms of lovemaking (oral, touching etc) and see if that helps.

If not- then id go to see your doc for tests..viagra might not be needed but it may give you the confidence to shake off the psychological issues.

This could be a problem of the mind because the more you think about it the more it happens. Why not try taking her away for a weekend where you can spend quality time together and take things slower with no-one that can interupt you. Have a nice night out and a few drinks to relax yourself (not to many drinks though) and try not to think of loosing your erection, think of who your making love to.
