Question : Hi I am recently married to a beautiful woman whom I love very much. I am noticing that I am having erectile problems when I want to make love to her. I never experienced this problem and this is freaking me out. I used to have a healthy sex drive but I am unsure if I am alright now. I want to know if this is common or do I have a serious problem. I am a 30 year old man slightly overweight. Does this have to do do anything with my problem.

Brief Answer:
It is common, no serious problem likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us.

Many newly married couple face sex problem initially. Male partner usually becomes apprehensive in such cases. He is anxious about his success and satisfaction of his partner. In thinking of he would succeed or not, he loses the sex excitement and faces erection problem.
When he goes for sex without any anxiety and thinking of success and tries to enjoy, he succeeds easily in most of the cases.

You are recently married and 30 years old. Considering these aspects you should not have any serious problem.

To comment more about your problem, I need more information.

What is your weight and height?(I can not judge your weight is related to your problem or not without figures?)

When did you marry? How many times did you try sex until now after marriage? What exactly happens during sex? Erection does not occur or it loses early? How many times did you have successful and satisfactory intercourse?

Have you any experience of sex before marriage? Please provide detail if yes.

Do you have any habit of smoking, alcohol or tobacco chewing?

Do you have any physical problem?

Is there any stress, social or occupation, right now do you have?

Waiting for your reply to help you.

Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.

Thanks doctor for your reply. I am so relieved. My height is 5 foot 10 inches and weight is 95 kilos.

Furthur we were married on 26th of XXXXXXX 2015 we have tried intercourse for a couple of times. Also I am a social drinker. I used to smoke which I have succesfully quit since a year. I would like to add that due to the stress involved in wedding ceremonies I have come down with a mild fever.

I also would add that I donot have any physical problems. I donot face any stress at work also.

Thanks for follow up.Congratulations for marriage.

You have married just before 3 days.

You need to give time to yourself to relax from hectic marriage ceremonies.Try to spend more quality and romantic time with your wife. Enjoy romance and foreplay. You will be successful within a week or two maximum.

For good sex. good physical health and relax mind are necessary.Height 5 foot 10 inches and weight 95 kilos suggest your BMI is 31, which is high.
Your weight should be maximum 78-80 Kg. Though current weight will not affect your sex performance significantly, reduction of weight of course will improve your sex performance.Weight reduction also helps you to prevent many health hazards like blood pressure,diabetes,obesity.

Hope this answers your concern.
