writes:Hello, this is a health related question something that I am pretty shy about and I will try not be too graphic.I am a 26 year old male, I do not smoke. I am a social drinker on weekends, but I drink in moderation.I "try" to eat healthy, I don't really indulge in very fatty foods, although as of late I have been eating more take outs. I don't eat as much fruits or veg as I should. I do not exercise, but have a medium build body.I have come to realise that when I drink, I have very little sexual desire and if I am aroused my erections are not as hard, and don't last long.Whereas when I do not drink I get turned on a lot quicker and my erections last longer and are much harder.My partner on the other hand is the opposite. He gets aroused when he has had lots to drink and he gets hard erections and they last much longer than mine.Recently after a party he intiated love making, and we had sex earlier on in the day and the next morning he was hard and sexually aroused and I just wanted to sleep. We started and I just could not get a proper erection and now this has made me extremely self aware now and I am fearing if I have erectile disfunction or something of that nature as this usually happens when I drink.Is this because I was drunk or had high volumes of alcohol in my system from a few hours before?or could this be signs of ED?this has put pressure on me as I feel embarrassed, and feel like I dont please my partner as I should and I am extremely attracted to him, but this has made me panic. This happened a few months ago but I managed to do it, and after that I took a few weeks to get my confidence back again and perform the way that I usually do and because I worried so much about it, it made it worse and I would get soft worrying about it.Please help with adviceRegards.

 if alcohol destroys your libido as it does to me i bet you get horny hangovers, wait and see if this is true and if so use them...

 It sounds more like alcohol related problems than ED. Everyone is affected slightly differently from alcohol. Some people can be falling down drunk and still "get it up" while some people can have trouble after even half a drink. Don't worry too much about it.

It puts me in a coma. But alcohol by itself makes me rage. So it depends on many factors and you are normal.
To prevent the reaction you are getting, try limiting alcohol intake, or the food consumed with it. I'd also take up some exercise. Not only will that increase your metabolism and fight off some of the insulin imbalance you may be having, but it will boost libido, testosterone levels and have all kinds of sexual performance oriented benefits.
I've had some luck using L-Arganine at times when performance was, shall we say, a little weak. It worked well. Maybe give that a try.

If you're not turned on or in the mood, or you're physically having to try to get hard, you probably just aren't going to get a strong erection.
Unless this is something that is happening regularly without alcohol involvement, I wouldn't worry about having ED.
