    Hi,
    I hope I have found the right place to post this. Im currently 23yr old male,Iv been sexually active since I was 17 and I never encountered any issues regarding arrousal. Iv had many sexual partners both one night stands and medium/long term relationships. I broke up with my girlfriend of 3 years back in march. I found it tough to go back on the single playing field but once I got going I was grand. lately however iv found when im with girls in bed sometimes my penis just gives up and stops becomming erect. I figured it might be the drink even tho it never happened before but now that I have been seeing someone iv noticed this even when im not drinking. I like this girl alot and we have only been seeing each other about 4-5 weeks now but I dont want to have problems down there. Any ideas or advice?

    Go to a GP. Can be a symptom of ill health.

    Yeah could be due to ill health or else it happened once as a one off but then anxiety about it happening again caused it to happen the next time. Catch 22 kinda thing. It happens. Its happened to a few guys I've been with and I know not to take it personally or worry about it if its not too frequent or if there's drink involved. If it hapens just say something like "ah **** was enjoying that and all!" or something kinda jokey to explain its not you that wants things to stop. Don't say "you killed it/look what you did etc." unless you're in the kind of relationship where you know she'll laugh it off!

    You're a man not a machine, sometimes parts don't work but if you get it in your head that its an issue you can guarantee it'll become one. Go to your gp for some peace of mind- if its a health issue the gp will sort it, if its not then you'll know its psychological.

    +1 for going to the GP about it - it could be a confidence thing (a break up can knock it) or else something else physical. Either way, a doc will be able to help.

    Another thing which can affect things is drink...it's called brewers droop for a reason. If you know you're going to be having sex...knock off the drink, or just have the one.
