Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ASK A DOCTOR through HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
Not to worry. Your problem is simply due to overdoing....
Two things you have to remember.
1. Unlike women, men are having a refractory period. After every sexual act (after ejaculation and orgasm), the erectile tissue of the penis will not respond to any type of stimuli. This refractory period may vary individual to individual according to their age and genetic built. Your age is 33, not in your teens or early twenties. You cannot eat after a sumptuos meal. Similarly you cannot re-do after an ejaculation. Sex several times a day can make your erectile tissue becomes nonresponsive to stimuli. This unresponsiveness may persist for weeks. It is similar to that of tired bullock cannot pull the fully loaded cart in the uphills for hours. Beating repeatedly cannot workout to make the bull to gain its vigour. Rest for hours need to put it back to the cart. Similarly, you need to remain without sex for few weeks so that you can regain your sexual drive back. You can consult a sexologist nearby who can prescribe mild sex stimulants.
2. Sex is not confined between two thighs but in between two years. It is concerned more on mind. You cannot will a sexual act.. It is spontaneous process of stimulation through seeing, feeling, smelling and hearing. Moreover one failure make you upset and you will develop a pressure performance which will lead to futher failures.
So take rest, not to worry and consult a sexologist. You will sure to regain your vigour back.
