Erectile Dysfunction?

    Hi

    Im a young man of 24 nearly 25. I have come here looking for help as I suffer from a very embarrassing problem which I find hard to talk to anyone about, even writing this is quite difficult. I suffer with erectile dysfunction and it is starting to really get me down.

    It happened a few years back when I was with a girl who I had a crush on for ages was flirting with me one night out in a club and very suggestive towards me. At the time I didn't have the sexual or social confidence to act so I filled myself up with dutch courage hoping that would work. So when we went home a combination of drunkenness and nerves stopped me from "performing". It was awful, and since then it has been hanging over me.

    I have had one night stands since where at times there have been no problems, others there have. But anytime I get into any kind of relationship I cant seem to be able to perform either. I'm able to get an erection no problem but the erection just is not strong enough to penetrate a girl at times. As I have mentioned I have had plenty of casual sex since the first occurenece and things have been fine but its just when there is more emotions involved I seem to crumble and my head does be racing, knowing that its not going to happen for me!

    The main reason im writing this is because I have lost 1 or 2 relationships over it and I am now in a new relationship with a fantastic girl who in a way luckily for me isn't as sexual as previous partners but eventually when things do get physical I would love to be able to satisfy her.

    I dont believe its a physical problem because I exercise, eat well and generally look after myself. I think it is more a psychological problem stemming from the first time that it happened.

    Im looking for advice on where I could go to get treated for this if anybody knows? I know a lot of people will say go to your GP but I just can't, he is a family friend who has been the family doctor who has look after all my family the last 30 years so I would be very embarrassed. I was thinking maybe going down the counselling / hypnosis / NLP route as I think its more a mental block I have than anything else! Or maybe even a specialist in this area?

    What would you guys think? Or if anybody has any experinece with this maybe they could let me know even via PM if it wouldnt be to much hassle!
    Can it be fixed? Im just very worried :o

    Thanks for listening

    murrayer_, as per the forum rules:
    It is not the done thing on the PI or RI forums to ask an OP to pm/msn/skype/email you. This is done for two reasons:

    To protect those from trolls and other possible unsavory people posting on the internet when they may be in a vulnerable state. Threads on PI/RI are monitored by the mods so that bad and dangerous advice is not permitted and deemed unhelpful.

    To protect posters from trolls and unsavory people posting on the internet who pose as a person needing help and advice and so that posters do not end up locked in to a pm exchange with someone they can not help.

    /mod hat

    If you are too embarrassed to ask a medical professional their professional opinion on a medical complaint, then it's pointless having them as your GP. Change GP and ensure there are no underlying medical issues first of all, they would also be able to help in terms of pharmaceuticals used to treat ED that may suit you.

    All the best
