    This is quite a sensitive issue so apologies in advance if i don't give too much information.

    My boyfriend cannot maintain an erection. He can get hard but it doesn't last long. My question is, how can i help him?

    Should i encourage him to see his GP or is that something that would make matters worse?

    I would really appreciate a male perspective on this.

    Any advice? Thanks.

    If it really is a problem and not just because he isn't use to being sexually active, He'll need to go to a gp. There can be any number of reasons why he can't maintain it and I'm not going to speculate any more of them.

    Your boyfriend should really go to a GP. Afterwards, if any medical issues are worked on, you could try and work on any psychological issues that might be affecting him.

    Agree with previous posters

    Could be anything from stress, to drink, to been nervous.
    Has happened most men at some stage :D

    He needs to talk to someone.

    Hi,

    It could also be your boyfriend is under pressure and he might not admit it. Fear/Pressure can affect a man's state of mind. Try letting him be in control and see how it goes. I believe it's a mental issue. If all else fails, like what others have said: visit the GP.

    How long has it being going on for?

    Is it just with sex or can he maintain an erection on his own?

    He may be stressed and doesn't even realise it himself. A lot of men lose interest in sex when under pressure.

    Best thing to do is not make a big deal out of it.
