How to get an erection during sex?
Patient: Hey doc. I'm 21, and in love with a girl I'm just friends with. I recently tried sleeping with a different girl, and found that I couldn't keep an erection during the sex. It was my third time having sex, and it's happened each time. I do masturbate regularly, so I believe I have E.D. I hear that vitamins can help treat it, but I'm unsure. Is there a type of medication I should be on to help with this? Doctor: Hello,  Simple reason can be due to a guilty feeling since you are already in love with a girl.   If you can masturbate normally and ejaculate then physically you are fine. If you have this issue with the girl you are in love it then we can worry or if its a 1st-time sex there is this possibility.  Other causes for Erectile Dysfunction are :  1.     Decrease sensation of penis- can be due to infection, diabetes, spinal injury , recent masturbation 2.     Stress due to work or family related, night duties  3.     Depression 4.     Varicocele 5.     Fear of failure -  having one episode of ED once may make you feel you will end up with ED 6.     Low self-esteem (Chronic Masturbation ) 7.     Homosexuality 8.     Religious constraints   9.     Negative attitude towards Your  partner 10.     Hormonal issue – thyroid issue, low testosterone 11.     Long term drug usage  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr S.R.Raveendran, Sexologist
