I have never struggled to get an erection – until now. What’s going on?

My partner and I have a great relationship, but my inability to ‘perform’ makes her think I am not attracted to her

My partner and I have a great relationship, but my inability to ‘perform’ makes her think I am not attracted to her

I have been single for three years and had many partners. I met a girl recently and we have a great relationship, but when it comes to sex I struggle to get hard. I have a high sex drive and I have never had erectile issues before; I have been told I am good in bed. I can tell my partner thinks I am not attracted to her, but I am – very much so. I think this started after the first time we had sex, when I got a little soft while switching positions and she freaked out. She was a little tipsy and super insecure. I can’t get that experience out of my head and I can’t get hard with her without help.

It is important for you both to understand that losing erections around a partner from time to time is completely normal. You cannot be expected to be hard all the time, even while lovemaking. You are able to achieve erections a good percentage of the time when it is important, so there really isn’t a problem. Educate her that you are not a machine and that she should not judge your level of attraction to her based on your physical response alone. It is very common for a man to lose an erection while changing positions. Try to be calm about this and remind yourself that your pride does not require perfect erections at all times. If you allow it to, the fear of not “performing” will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I think most men, myself included, are going to experience ED. It could be nerves, it could be age, etc,

Nothing in that article mentions his age or if he had COVID.
By the way, you'd be amazed at how many women think that Viagra "creates desire" and yet there are hundreds of thousands of heart patients who have to use it to boost heart function and walk around flaccid all day long.

If you're not in the mood, Viagra isn't going to do much other than help your pulmonary function and circulation, and maybe give you a stuffy nose.
 
I thought, having not checked the subforum, this would be a joke thread making fun of Trumpers. I find, instead, a thread void of politics. So this is what brings America together, huh. I coulda guessed.

"Things have gotten so bad, I can't imagine the terrible disaster that could bring us together again!"

Concern about boners.
 
I forgot to mention that lots of COVID long haul survivors are now reporting erectile dysfunction as a new symptom.
No, not joking, totally serious.
I'm sixty-three and due to my checkered past of smoking, cocaine use (yes, 26 years in the past) Type 2 diabetes, COPD and the like, I too am a Viagra user for the last seven or eight years. And since recovering from COVID I've had to up my dose from 50mg to 100mg.
I'm still able to function without it entirely, but let's just say I appreciate the extra lead in the pencil.
But yes, I have noticed that what ED I did have got a bit worse after COVID.

Funny thing is, a good couple of bong hits will make it possible to stay with the 50 mg dose instead, and that also seems to give me much the same effect as my inhaler...opens and clears the lungs pretty nicely.

Well, Anti Trumpers do like stroking their hate boners.
 
Too many cheeseburgers clogging up the old plumbing or just stage fright?

Boners are important.
 
Quit masterbating and get yourself backed up.
 
Cialis or Viagra will help men who are over 40 years old.

You should have a rock hard erection within a week

Ladies tell me that a Hard Man is good to find
 
20 years ago, I was pure **** hound and said houndish desires were ruining my life. So, I talked to my dad about it. He said, "Just wait til you hit my age. Believe it or not, all that stuff goes away."

He was right. Today, I would not dream of throwing away my life for a piece of ass. A slice of good pizza, maybe, but not ass.

He should probably get checked for diabetes, since it can cause ED.

I was the same as most youngsters, a brush of a boob against me could set off the *launch sequence*.
Now, it takes reciprocal passion and feelings but not so much from 18-35.
 
Ciallis, 4 days of boner....
 
My girlfriend who is an over 60 year old widow is very happy that I take Cialis regularly.

She's as passionate and exciting in the bedroom as most 30 to 40 year old women.

There are lots of 45 to 80 year old women on Match, Zoosk, and OkCupid who still want
companionship and an active sex life with a nice guy who can rise to the occasion:)
 
Cialis and Viagra can help you to have a normal sex life with your wife or girl friend.
 
hold your woman/etc. and just let nature do its dirty work ! 😂
 
Maybe you should switch to Lincoln Logs...
 
Option B

One of my friends had a penile implant when Cialis and Viagra didn't work.

Widows and ex-nuns need love

You need to man up for widows or ex-nuns. They are depraved because they've been deprived :)
